BARACK OBAMA
Father Michael Pfleger, Surpassing Jeremiah Wright at Trinity
This YouTube is now being sent to me by many readers. I'll have a transcript in a moment, but it features one of Obama's close friends, Fr. Michael Pfleger, preaching at Trinity United. This seems like an oddly-timed sequel to the Wright brouhaha, as we now have another Obama mentor giving a strikingly similar message.
UPDATE: Much like written words don't do justice to Jeremiah Wright's sermons, the video must be watched to be believed.
Pfleger is introduced as "a friend of Trinity", and then the YouTube skips ahead to one section:
I must now to address the one who says, 'don't hold me responsible for what my ancestors did.' But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did! And unless you are ready to give up the benefits — Throw away your 401 fund! [sic] Throw away your trust fund! Throw away all the money that been put away in the company you walked into 'cause your daddy and your granddaddy and your great grandaddy —
(screaming at the top of his lungs)
Unless you are willing to give up the benefits, then you must be responsible for what was done in your generation! 'Cause you are the beneficiary of this insurance policy!
Words cannot describe the surreality of watching a middle-aged white man in a priest's collar appearing like he is trying to imitate Jeremiah Wright at his most outrageous.
[garbled] expose white entitlement. And supremacy, wherever it raises its head. I said before, I really don't want ot make this political, because you know I'm really very unpolitical.
When Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don't believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, 'this is mine. I'm Bill's wife. I'm white, and this is mine. I just gotta get up and step into the plate.'
Then out of nowhere, 'I'm Barack Obama!'
Imitating Hillary's response, screaming at the top of his lungs again, he continues, 'Ah, damn! Where did you come from? I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show!'
(mocks crying)
She wasn't the only one crying, there was a whole lot of white people crying!
I'm sorry. I don't want in any more trouble. The live-streaming just went out again."
The argument that 401(k) accounts are inherent representations of white supremacy will be news to many, many Americans.
So what is the response from Team Obama going to be? That he didn't know Pfleger was capable of this kind of rhetoric, either?

Whoever he is, he needs to drop the episcopal boom on him, big time.
more than likely a vegan :o)
Must be something in the air conditioning ducts there at Trinity United...
There is enough politics going on at that church that C-Span should set up a permanent camera to record all the action.
I am running low on white popcorn..what with ethanol and all. Forced to eat yellow.
Cardinal George is the coward of the Chicago Diocese!
Any other priest would have had his faculties , i.e., the right to practice as priest revoked for much lesser political issues.
Fr. Phleger has the Cardinal George by the testicles because he is afraid of a great uproar and schism in the church.
Fr. Phleger is backing the pro abortion policies of Barach Hussein Obama.!
The most disturbing thing is that this racist was getting non-stop applause. And this was a church that Obama felt comfortable in for twenty years
. . . maybe HH BXVI needs to have one of his men make a quick quiet transAtlantic call to His Eminence.
Father Michael Pfleger is up to nogood.
If one thing has become clear, it is that Obama’s congregation membership at TUCC is a defined and bright line, those folks do not share America’s Values at all, and they go out of their way to prove it.
I wonder if he got a cut of the collections plate or did that go to pay off Jeremiah Wright’s 2 million dollar home?
And when is the good cardinal slated to retire?
What a freak. Where do they FIND these people???
Bet the IRS will look into the tax-exempt status of Trinity as well as the St. Sabina Chapel that Fleger runs.
“Father Michael Pfleger”
Making me feel real good about now being an Evangelical Protestant.
Just another of Obama’s crazy uncles.

And I’ll be the IRS is gutless when it comes to black renegade churches.
I heard and saw some of his rantings. This priest is deranged, a black wanna be preacher and a giant fake. He is definitely not one of the sharper instruments in the Lord’s drawer.
Sorry but I have no idea!
The damage is done!
The liberation theology is part of the Catholic Teaching in Chicago!

He was born in 1937, so he's scheduled to submit his resignation in 2,012. The Pope doesn't have to accept it until.2,017. However, his health hasn't been the greatest, so he may not last that long.
A TV channel showed him, but I could not stand to listen to his awful delivery.
Doesn’t McCain Fiengold do anything for this?? I mean what is the point of that piece of work anyway?
And furthermore, why does this church still have it’s tax exempt status.

Oh Lord, that is creepy.
There is nothing more pathetic than a w****r, even if he’s a middle-aged man in a clerical collar.
“I must now to address the one who says, ‘don’t hold me responsible for what my ancestors did.’ But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did! And unless you are ready to give up the benefits — Throw away your 401 fund! [sic] Throw away your trust fund!

Standard ‘reparations’ logic. The gap in wealth between black and white is a direct result of slavery and discrimination. The black man is entitled to a transfer of wealth from the white man until all wealth is equalized.
The funny thing is, the congregation here appears to be far up the income scale and the average member probably has far more wealth than the average white.
rotflmao.....pahping
Wouldn’t you love to hear this clown rap a la Karl Rove? You just know he has already done it somewhere.
Yep!
I heard this earlier today and all I could think of was he sounded like an old Bill Cosby record.
I have been waiting for the alleged Michelle Obama video about “hatin whitey” (is it real?) BUT this will do in a pinch!
***Standard ‘reparations’ logic. The gap in wealth between black and white is a direct result of slavery and discrimination. The black man is entitled to a transfer of wealth from the white man until all wealth is equalized.***
HEY! We already did that. How many hard working white men and women have been denied employment because we had to fill the black quotas? How many white kids were denied admittance to college for the same reason? How much do we all pay in taxes to support welfare? And the liberals just keep doing things to keep the blacks on the plantation to get their votes.
“Then out of nowhere, ‘I’m Barack Obama!’”
Out of nowhere?
I heard the little pimp actually went to Hillary for advice at one time.
Someone’s been ‘grooming’ Obama for sometime, methinks.
Unfortunately, by the time this Socialist/Marxist sock puppet loses his bid for the presidency(let us pray)he will have set back the possibility of a black President of the United States — more than any gang of white racist ever could.

[He is a priest not a Bishop.]
Is that a ring on his left hand?
“Fr. Pfleger has the Cardinal George by the testicles because he is afraid of a great uproar and schism in the church.”
Only a Bishop can lead a schism; and it will only continue if the bishop ordains priests to serve the new schismatic church.
His speech reflected the thinking of Robert Mugabe, and his manner - the tone of voice, the histrionics, the handkerchief - was largely an imitation of Farrakhan. And it was obvious from the get-go that this sort of thing is standard fare at that church, and that Obama is therefore lying through his teeth when he says he is offended by those ideas. He lived and breathed those ideas for 20 years. The more people who see tapes like this, the more Obama’s chances will melt away.
Hey, cut the guy some slack. Obama might've snoozed thru the sermons.
But one thing's for sure: Michelle didn't.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
I will bet anyone that this psycho is a Cardinal Bernadin protege. Anyone know the scoop?
Last year, Father Flakey harangued an anti-gun mob outside of a Chicago-area gun shop that Anti-gun tyrant Mayor Daley has been trying to shut down via intimidation and fear.
Amongst other hysterical rhetorical outbursts, Flakey said that the law abiding gun shop owner should be dragged like a rat from his shop and “snuffed” along with any Illinois legislators who would not vote for the anti-gun legislation. If someone can give me a good free site for audio uploads, I will post the audio clip for you to hear.
This fool may be a clown, but he is also a demagogue and potentially too dangerous to be undisciplined by the Archdiocese.
As a Baptist I feel that's a bit of cheap shot. Any denomination can have a runaway kook in the pulpit. The test will be whether the Catholic leadership takes steps to deal with this. After what they went through with the child molesting scandel I would think they should be very quick to deal with a rogue Priest.
Why is people so upset, did he NOT told the plain truth, nothing but the truth???
Perhaps my choice of the work Schism might not be appropriate but the intent of my comment is that Cardinal George is afraid that if withdraws Phleger’s Faculties as a Priest, Phleger will leave the Catholic Church followed by his Black Parishioners and start his own reform Catholic Church.
Perhaps, Cardinal George is afraid that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will start a national boycott of the Catholic Church and not only encourage Black Americans to start a Black Catholic Church similar to the Polish National Catholic in Scranton.
Perhaps, Cardinal George is afraid that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are threatening Cardinal George with a possible demand for monies for reparations for whatever reason that only they might devise.
I don’t know if any of these hypothetical situations have any basis in fact but by Cardinal George’s inaction a reasonable person can only conclude that Cardinal George is using the theory that he may win a small battle with Phleger and loose many good people who might be effected by this situation.
