| | | Why yet another pastor causing trouble for Obama? That means trouble also for the Democratic Party! What's with these pastors speaking up at the last minute saying these things at this critical point in time? Does anyone know? ABC News: Cardinal Condemns Clinton Mocking Priest | | | | | | |

| I think the Priest could had used more tact, but other than that I agree with his sentiments. Both Republican and Democrat news commentators from the major networks have been saying as much for months. | |

| My only question is what kind of church is that? They seem to talk more about politics than Jesus? And Father Pfleger, a Roman Catholic priest, is this politically active? State pork to Obama's district included allies, donors -- Trials, Emil Jones, Brooklyn (King's, New York) -- chicagotribune.com
"One of those long-time supporters was Rev. Michael Pfleger, the politically active leader of St. Sabina Church. He gave Obama's campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs."
You know, SNL could not come up with a better script about racism.
It's sad and yet funny.  | |

| Oh, for pete's sake. It's too bad we don't have youtube and the media everywhere to collect the audios and videos of everyone Obama has ever known acting out their own personal vendettas or angsts or political agendae. Then he can be soundly thrashed by all of the naysayers looking for a reason to say some more nays. One of these days the man is going to have to seclude himself in his room in order to avoid any possible association with the stupid and the vitriolic. | |

The Catholic Church does not endorse political candidates," read a written statement from Cardinal Francis George, head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. "Consequently, while a priest must speak to political issues that are also moral, he may not endorse candidates nor engage in partisan campaigning."
| Cardinal ;why wasn't Father Pfleger purged years ago. The rant against Evita is nothing compared to some of the other hate-filled sermons and things he has publically said. Cardinal; the Obama campaign brought Father Pfleger to Iowa to host a number of campaign related events. The Federal Government really has to look at some of these churches and pastors nationwide and determine if they still qualify for their tax exempt status.
Wondergirl
If Obama stopped associating with the radical and fringe he would not have a problem with those surrounding him . But you are right ;by the time he throws all these associates under the bus he will be as lonely as a monk.Going into this weekend's DNC Rules comittee meeting Democrats have to wonder if Pfleger is the last radical shoe that's going to drop out of Obama's closet. By reminding Democrats of this, Pfleger could somehow resurrect the dwindling hopes of Evita's nomination. | |
