Obama’s newest radical preacher buddy goes national

By see-dubya  •  April 3, 2008 05:15 PM

[Guest post by See-Dubya]

Hey, since we’re talking about radical clerics making spectacles of themselves today, check out Obama’s new buddy getting some face time. Allah’s got a short clip of the Reverend Michael Pfleger’s outraged defense of Jeremiah Wright–and of Louis Farrakhan. (Farrakhan! That’s an association that will help Obama.) Michelle ran that full clip in her introduction to Michael Pfleger here, but Allah’s is a snippet from Fox News. Reverend Pfleger is goin’ big time!

Hillary says Obama can’t win, and the ongoing antics of his buddies in the Religious Left sure aren’t helping him. Remember, Obama’s nicer new preacher lamented on Easter that the Rev. Wright’s career ended in a “lynching“. (Apparently, “playing video of someone’s own speeches” is now equivalent to “lynching”. Who knew?)

It’s funny: after years of complaints about the influence of the Religious Right, and clamoring to raise ever higher the “wall of separation” between church and state, the Democrats look set to pick someone who is irretrievably linked to race-hustling religious radical reverends. It’ll be kind of fun for a change to get to throw these associations back in the Democrat’s teeth all during the campaign. We can even use their own puerile slogans against them. Here’s a start:

Just a thought. I imagine we can do better, though, than recycled liberal nostrums. Commenters?

    I’ve been a lifelong if not too participatory Catholic and I have never seen anything remotely approaching this level of vitriol on ANY topic. This is a disgusting display of irrationality, menace and simple stupidity. What kind of Catholics are sitting in those pews? What kind of people? What in the name of a greasy slide to perdition is wrong in Chicago? Looks like plenty. Heep’um plenty.

    Remember, they voted for “a was an altar boy” John Kerry. But the difference between John Kerry and W. was – they knew that W. meant it, and they knew John Kerry didn’t. Same thing with the Religious Right and the, ahem, “Reverend”s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, et al,,,, they know that those guys are full of crap- and aren’t really “religious”.

    In defending Reverend Wright, Obama said he was the Crazy Uncle and he said, if you could take the five dumbest things you ever said and put them in a 30-second sound bite….

    So his defense is that Reverend Wright is dumb and insane, which is an interesting defense. What will he say abiut THIS guy?

    Well,I can remember back in high school having serious doctrinal disputes with Catholics…I being a member of the Church of Christ (not UCC…the REAL Church of Christ…no instrumental music in the worship service etc)…and we would argue over full immersion baptism vs sprinkling and about whether it should be wine or grape juice at Communion and such as that…but I have NEVER confronted the kind of vicious bile that this so called priest “Evil Eye” Pfleger was spewing in his defense of ‘Reverend’ Jeremiah Wright…if these people are ministers of the Gospel,then I must have missed some Sunday School lessons somewhere along the line

    In thinking about all this it occurred to me that this ideology was not much different than what Manson was advocating in the sixties. Is this the change we are hearing about, where Manson types trade their jail cell for the pulpit?
    Here’s another link
    The Beatles, Manson and the question, where did Rev. Wright get his ideas? , “Beatles were urging black people to arise and revolt against the white establishment.” (Blackbird, the White Album) The Beatles? Who knew? And No, I’m not necessarily sayin that the Rev is the black chuck manson or that BO is one of his family members.

    I can only wonder what a Sunday service on the White House lawn might be with a couple hundred Subculture members, Michelle Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger, and Louis Farrakhan. Need I say more, other than it’s not going to happen.

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1994240/posts

    Like Wright, Father Michael Pfleger has close ties to Barack Hussein Obama and Father Michael Pfleger’s endorsement appears on Obama’s faith endorsements page, where Jeremiah Wright’s used to be… before he became too much of an embarrassment.

    http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=42181&cat=14:

    Pfleger, a respected social advocate in Chicago, had invited Wright to deliver a blessing at Saint Sabina during a visit by Maya Angelou. From the pulpit Pfleger went into an animated sermon blasting those who had criticized Wright. Pfleger said:

    “Dr. Wright is one of the great biblical scholars of our country and the best of preachers in the prophetic tradition. Dr. Wright has been shamefully demonized by 30 second sound bites that have tried to re-define him into someone other than who he is.”

    http://dallassouthblog.com/2007/05/30/min-louis-farrakhan-visits-father-michael-pfleger-and-st-sabina/

    Last week (May 25) the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke at The Faith Community of St. Sabina, which is pastored by Father Michael Pfleger.

    (Dr.) Father Pfleger and Min. Farrakhan have shared an long friendship as they both have labored to uplift the African-American community in Chicago and throughout the country.

    Note: wonderment, wonderment, wonderment, both Pfleger and Wright are ‘Dr.’s Where did then get such distinctions. The GDA University.

    Obama HUSSEIN is a disgrace to the entire United States of America. This man strongly supports murdering children, and he associates with the most base segment of humanity: Men who use religion as a platform to propagate hatred, racism, division, and communism.

    Shame on all of us for allowing a man like this to reside in our country. Cursed are we for allowing him to be considered for the Presidency!

    Pope John Paul II would not put up with this fool. I’m pretty sure Benedict XVI will not tolerate him either. It may take a few weeks but I expect someone to act and act quickly to get this guy off the alter and into a nut house were he belongs.

    Last summer, this jerk and Jessie Jackson spent their weekends picketing a gun dealer in the Chicago area, at least until the TV crews found something else to do.
    He made some comments then that should have gotten him thrown out of the Church.

    Birds of a feather?

    Unfortunately, these “peace-n-justice” priests became a dime a dozen in the early 1970’s.

    Hopefully the pedophilia scandals have shaken most of them out by now.

    The scary part is the fact that there is a serious candidate for President who is a radical. Normally, someone like that wouldn’t have a chance, but, these days, who knows. If he wins the nomination, and it looks like he will, we can only hope that the country wakes up and puts this guy away, in an election that would be a disaster to the democratic party.

    A fine alliteration, indeed!

    You know, I never honestly thought about the left imposing it’s “religious” views, well, I mean, outside of the fact that they give special rights to Muslims out of fear.

    But, I’ve always seen the hard, far left as wanting to eradicate religion so they can fulfill their selfish desires without natural law nagging their consciences.

    But maybe Ann Coulter had a point when she said something about the evangelical left. At first I thought, how can evangelical Christians be liberals? It just doesn’t make sense?

    But I see the brigade of Protestant reverends leads the way!
