You can read the Tribune's Saturday editorial regarding the news surrounding Rev. Michael Pfleger here.
When Barack Obama announced his campaign for president, you could anticipate that ugly racial stereotypes would rear up. You probably couldn’t anticipate that some of his strongest supporters would promote the worst of it.
That’s what the nation saw as video surfaced of a sermon Rev. Michael Pfleger gave last Sunday from the pulpit of Obama’s church in Chicago.
Pfleger talks of exposing “white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises its head, and then theatrically mocks Sen. Hillary Clinton.
He stalks around the stage of Trinity United Church of Christ. He thunders: “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’ and then out of nowhere came, ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama,’ and she said, ‘Oh, damn. Where did you come from? I’m white! I’m entitled! There’s a black man stealing my show!’ ’’
Then he theatrically feigns tears and says, “She wasn’t the only one crying. There were a whole lot of white people crying.”

Here is another “minister’s” take on the Muzzie.
From missionary friends of a friend of mine... Thought you’d find this interesting. Celeste and Loren Davis are Missionaries in Africa and can shed some firsthand light on one of our Presidential candidates.
Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don’t know the last count of the dead. Obama, under “friends of Obama” gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in east Germany. He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, crying rigged election if he doesn’t win, and possibly cause a race war in America.
What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 9-11 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July! He is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the Muslim infiltration into their countries.
By the way, his true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won’t that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!?
God Bless you.
Pray for us here in Kenya. We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assault that every nation, including America, is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya, not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive.
Jesus Christ is our peace, but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won’t be so. I will send you a newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner what I’ve tried to say in a few paragraphs.
Love, Celeste

Good heavens, these people playing to their audiences.
And to think this clown has been the pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church for 27 years...I feel sorry for the parishoners who have been exposed to the racist & sexist diatribes coming out of this man’s mouth all these years.
Is this guy is a Catholic priest, then how come the Church hierarchy is not all over him for this disgrace? Seem to me that Pfleger needs to be called to Rome to account for himself over this “sermon”.
The worst part of these clowns sermons is the reaction of the idiots in the congregation. If I ever had a Priest give a sermon like that I would walk out and never return. Why do these folks buy into this BS?
A self-hating liberal. He should be ashamed of himself for blaming us for racism. He is the racist.
Let me get this straight. This guy is the new pastor, replaceing Wright? SO, they replaced Reverend Wright with a WHITE GUY at a predominantly black Church?
Curtis Sliwa was on Mark Levin's show last night and talked about this priest. Said he's known him for many years and every time the church has called him up or tried to control him, the Chicago powers that be have all but threatened the church, telling them the he is "their" guy and to back off and leave him alone.
And the church does just that.
If he's a Catholic priest, what is he doing preaching at a (presumably) Protestant church?
Guest preacher for the weekend
No, the "white" guy was a guest speaker invited by the new minister (and I use that word loosely in this case). Their new minister is a young black guy. This priest has him own church (for about 27 years I think)
“If he’s a Catholic priest, what is he doing preaching at a (presumably) Protestant church?”
It’s still a free country.
I’m just sorry his sermon was racist & sexist.
It sheds a very bad light on Catholicism.
For those like me, who weren’t that familiar with Michael Pfleger’s history.

Pfleger put on almost exactly the same show one month ago. Almost no one noticed. Wonder what changed this time?
“Let me get this straight. This guy is the new pastor, replaceing Wright? SO, they replaced Reverend Wright with a WHITE GUY at a predominantly black Church?”
No, you haven’t got this “straight.”
Michael Pflegler, is the pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church. He was the guest speaker at Obama’s church. St. Sabina is a predominantly black parish in Chicago.
Because it is all they have heard from the pulpit for years and years. It is exactly what they want to hear. The congregation's reaction is like feeding time at a zoo!
Wow. Are these close friends writing that letter? If true, I would think general knowlege of the Odinga affair would completely doom Obama’s presidential aspirations.
