He’s baaaack: Obama supporter Rev. Michael Pfleger flogs Hillary’s “white entitlement” on the pulpit

By Michelle Malkin • May 29, 2008 11:48 AM

The company he keeps

I’ve reported before on Obama supporter/spiritual advisor/Jeremiah Wright chum/Farrakhan cheerleader Rev. Michael Pfleger and his racial demagoguery (see March 29 and April 30).

Pfleger, who until recently was featured on the Obama campaign website as a spiritual endorser, was back at Obama’s Trinity United Church this weekend mocking Hillary Clinton’s “white entitlement.” It’s one thing to ridicule Hillary’s sense of political and ideological entitlement as part of the Clinton dynasty. But the demagogic emphasis on her race from this hate preacher on the pulpit is quite another thing. You really have to see his performance to believe it.

Here’s the video that’s getting around. I’ve transcribed it below as well if you can’t stomach the antics:

Pastor Otis Moss: He needs no introduction. He’s a friend of Trinity, he’s a brother beloved. He’s a preacher par excellence. He’s a prophetic, powerful pulpiteer. He is our friend. He is our brother. He is none other than Father Michael Pfleger. (Crowd on its feet, standing ovation, loud applause). We welcome him once again…

…Pfleger: [Unintelligible] to address the one who says, “Well, don’t hold me responsible (gesticulating) 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 (voice rising), throw away your 401 fund, throw away your trust fund, throw away all the money you put into the company you WALKED INTO BECAUSE YO’ DADDY AND YO’ GRANDDADDY AND YO’ GREATGRANDDADDY–(screaming at the top of his lungs)–UNLESS YOU’RE WILLING TO GIVE UP THE BENEFITS, THEN YOU MUST BE REPSONSIBLE FOR WHAT WAS DONE IN YOUR GENERATION ‘CUZ YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS INSURANCE POLICY! (Wild gestures, wild applause).

…We must be honest enough to expose white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises its head.

I said before I don’t want this to be politica because, you know, I’m very unpolitical (mocking tone, huge laughter).

…When Hillary was crying (gesturing tears, uproarious laughter from audience)–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’ (laughter, hoots). ‘I’m Bill’s wife. I’m WHITE. And this is mine. And I jus’ 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!?!?! (Crowd going nuts, Pfleger screaming). I’M WHITE! I’M ENTITLED! THERE’S A BLACK MAN STEALING MY SHOW. (SOBS!) SHE WASN’T THE ONLY ONE CRYING! THERE WAS A WHOLE LOTTA WHITE PEOPLE CRYING!

I’m sorry. I don’t wanna get you in any mo’ trouble. The livestreaming just went out again…

Here’s the Pfleger endorsement of Obama that has been scrubbed from the campaign site:

I really can’t say it any better than this liberal blog: “[T]here is clearly something wrong at Trinity Church in Chicago.”

More from Allahpundit: “Funny how these longtime acquaintances of his keep “surprising” him with incendiary racial rhetoric.”

UPDATE [See-Dubya]: Under the bus with you, Preacher-man!

It’s no coincidence that Obie has thrown his white grandmother under the bus. The only white people he can stand to be around are terrorists and hate-mongerers. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – if you judge a man by the company he keeps, well, what does Obie’s company say about him?

I don’t think the race card should be played against the Senator from Illinois. Just look at the date. 10 days prior to the Democrats’ convention. All Barack needs to do is give another speech on that day in the place where he started his campaign and the media will love him for ever.

Plus, it wasn’t Obama saying those things.

They know they can’t trot out another black preacher to say these words without being condemned for it – so now they found a different color ‘tool’ to spew the exact same garbage.

The Bible speaks to the tickling of ears, particularly in the last days. It would tickle my ears to hear that somebody else caused my problems. Then I wouldn’t have to change any of my ways.

The problems with this argument are too long to list here. You have to pity the people in this congregation who are not getting the truth to change their lives. Without that truth they will continue to hire pastors that tickle their ears and keep them in the paralysis of victimhood.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

I think this just shows how racist liberals are. Seriously – I had always thought it was possible but this really makes it so obvious. And are these the kinds of people I want running the country? Absolutely not.

It’s shameful that this place is even called a “church” at all. This is not the Christianity of the Bible. This is plain racist BS that is hiding behind a church front.

Disgusting – I hope people wake up about Obama. His association with this church is deplorable. And I am sure he believes most of this crud that is spewed from the pulpit.

People don’t go to church and sit in the pews without being able to believe what is being said. My husband and I searched for a long time and went to many churches before finding one that was in line with our beliefs. So I don’t buy anyone’s stance that Obama really didn’t believe anything that was said there. yeah right.

You know,

Growing up in mostly black schools, I am used to the white urban contemporary. I have to say, though, this guy really takes the cake.

He really doesn’t strike me as someone who grew up in urban contemporary culture and developed the accent and attitudes.

In other words, he is putting on a show. When his congregants aren’t around, he probably swills champagne, turns on NPR, and shops online at “The Gap”. (Jonah Goldberg describes this as “Black Panther envy” in his book “Liberal Fascism”.)

Also, please note the cheering, screaming, wailing, and crying in the background. This is not strictly a Trinity church problem, it’s a black liberation theology problem.

My question is: Does Fr. Pfleger’s condemnation of those who inherit wealth apply to all people, or just white people? What about the claim that we all need to be responsible for our ancestor’s actions… does that apply to all regardless of skin color?

And while we are on the subject, I think it is ridiculous to claim the we are responsible for the actions of our ancestors. My great-grandfather did not come to the U.S. until 1915, but even if my ancestor’s had owned slaves, that would not make me responsible for the choices. I can honestly say I have never owned a slave… do I owe “retribution” for the actions of others?

Many people are awakening from their slumber, discovering a “whole New World (order)“, and are getting in touch with reality. And… the People are not liking what they see…and hear. The MSM has gone completely off the scale in their insidious propagandizing! We can expect a run for the guns soon. TPTB are behind the oil and food crisis… the crisis manufactured ( by the MSM and TPTB ) to keep the People locked in their places.. in front of their BOOBTUBE, in order to be properly assimilated into the New Society. A society where WE wil be slaves and TPTB will be masters. I wonder..what in the world all of these traitors in the MSM (so-called journalists) think is going to happen to them…when they have outlived their usefulness? Get ready, Folks! It’s soon to be Get Down time! I see no chance of re-educating the last 30-40 years of publicly educated people. So many can not or will not do for themselves.

The first thing that strikes me is, “Where is the ‘religion’ in this sermon?” Any reference to the Bible? To Jesus? To God? To the lessons for daily life that can be gleaned from any of those three?

Trinity “Church” sounds very much like a place where hate-filled, self-absorbed, self-pitying people go to be with other hate-filled, self-absorbed, self-pitying people. That is their true “faith.”

But the preacher dude does have one valid point, in the same way that a stopped clock is right twice a day: After eight years spent as the “President-in-Waiting,” Hillary probably does indeed harbor a lot of resentment for the incredibly bad timing of Obama’s decision that he, too, is entitled to the presidency simply because he wants it.

Were it not for him fracturing the identity-politics foundation of the donkey party, she’d already have the nomination wrapped up by now. Eight years of patient, calculating expectation, all down the crapper because of an “uppity” black man who forgot that there’s already been a “First Black President.” That’s gotta smart.

That is going to be a heck of a lot more for him. I say that Obama goes first right after he quits riding in his SUV.

I posted awhile back that the Presidential race became racist when Barack Hussein Obama entered it. This loudmouth, so called preacher is making it true. Obama doesn’t have to say a word, because other people are using the race card for him, but he won’t stop it because it’s getting him votes. If he’s questioned about it, he’ll simply say,”Well I don’t feel that way. That’s their thoughts” and the MSM will let it slide as usual.I said then, and I’ll repeat it now, it’s only going to get worse especially, when the race is between B.Hussein Obama and McCain.

His bishop is probably also part of Black Lib Theology, so he probably approves of his antics.

I believe many “bishops’ and “pastors” of these “churches” have no theology degrees whatsoever. I think they start out as just “nice old men” who were deacons at some point (a non-ordained position).

In Louisville, the Ev. Lutheran Church in America made the budding pastor of the mission church in black neighborhood take seminary classes before being ordained. There was a big stink raised over that.

As the ol’ Alan Colmes argument goes: If you are even slightly Black, you are perceived as Black. Mr. Obama is also a liberal.

Combine those two, and you get a free pass on everything. Even calling your Grandma a “typical” white person or telling a crowd of American troop haters in San Fran Nan’s district that rural people stick to their guns and religion because of discontent over migrant labor .

I get entitlement because I’m white? So, it was because of my ancestors that I got to work from the age of 12, enlisted in the military, worked full time at McDonalds while I went to college, took a fairly low paying job out of college and worked my way up the chain in my job?

Obviously, my ancestors were slackers. Where was my silver spoon? The only entitlement I seem to have gotten was when I was passed over for promotions because I was a white male and the EEOC said that less qualified people should get the promotions…

None of my ancestors owned slaves. The ones from the south were on par with the “white trash Slattery’s” from GWTW, there wasn’t any Scarlett’s in my tree. The draft notice came in for the eldest son and the g-g-g-grandparents sent the middle son because he wasn’t liked. So off he went at 15, came home settled somewhere far from home (Baldwin County) and never so those folks again. The Irish side came off the boat and had to fight for the Union Army for those who could afford to send some “slug” in their stead (my great-grandfather was able to do this) and others who went to perserve the Union.
I owe nothing to the Obama’s.

I wonder if Trinity Church thinks it’s their job to exact God’s punishment on us, the third and fourth generations. “Well, since the Bible says so…”

The current generation at Trinity is sounding pretty hateful, in my opinion. But that’s just me. I could be wrong…

Sooooo convenient for these idiots – lets not talk about the white people who died to free the slaves and lets not talk about African tribes people (black) who turned over thier own fellow black countrymen they themselves enslaved to the whites. Nothing changes. They don’t sell their own into slavery, now they just kill each other.

Is this moron a Catholic priest? Did he have anything remotely biblical, spiritual to say, or was he just doing a typical white liberal lap-dog rant? You know, to show his “black brothers and sisters” that he’s keepin’ it real for them. If he is a legit priest he should be hammered by his diocese. I still question the status of these people as Christian. I really wonder. What a shame.

Maybe “Archbishop” George Stallings, excommunicated from the RCC when he formed his own “African Catholic” church in Washington DC, Imani Temple #1, can ordain Rev. Pflegler as a cardinal, and together they can declare Wright as Pope.

Not sure which cardinal is in charge of the Chicago archdiocese, but he should have a talk with this priest.

OT, spotted by Tim Blair hours ago, and the Beeb hasn’t caught on…

Harassment fear in bomb community

Eventually, I’d guess the BBC will figure out they have an issue, so…

Well, the arch-bishop would need to do that. I think the Vatican encourages priests to not be directly involved in politics, but I do know the Church says no to socialism, abortion and gay marriage.

But those are more policy issues, not endorsement of a particular candidate, and involve grave offenses against the virtue of life.

Rev. Pfleger, Wright, Farrakan and the Black Panthers are piggy-backing off of Obama for free publicity and popularity.

While many Protestant Churches will allow anyone and everyone to become a minister, the Catholic faith does significant discernment and psychological analysis before a man can become a priest.

It is thus troubling to see Mr. Pfleger to behave like this, and his concerns about social justice could be expressed better.

This speech was nothing more than an untrue rant, and he now has an obligation to restore Sen. Clinton’s reputation, because I highly doubt she thinks she should get it because she’s white.

Does anyone else on here find it surprising that African-Americans and social activists are NOT defending Bill Clinton (the first Black president) and his wife?

I read your link on the “bomb community.” Interesting error by the BBC, but new converts to Islam do pose a threat.

I have nice middle class Black folks in my suburban Houston neighborhood. I know, other than the Huxtables from a 1980s TV show, or a cartoonish show like “Fresh Prince”, the media doesn’t depict Black folks as doing ok in America, but many of them are.

A few of them are coming around to realizing that the Democrats aren’t looking out for their best interests, especially if they have jobs and are trying to raise their kids right.

That was kind of why I was wishing ‘Operation Chaos’ (I voted Hillary in the Texas primary, since McCain had already won, I wanted to help prolong the Dem race, and, finally, while Hillary was definetly a Marxist America hater in the 1960s, maybe, just maybe, she mellowed, while B. Hussein Obama clearly is a Marxist America hater to this day) would work, and more Black folks realized the Dems core value is power. (With abortion rights having taken a back seat to Bush hatred as the driving philosophy of the party).

Ed – One of the things that makes me sad about people like Rev. Wright is the disservice they are doing to the black folks who are normal, sane, good people.

It was about 25 years ago when I first heard a black friend say that he hated that blowhard Jesse Jackson and hated that he got so much attention as the supposed spokesman for all black Americans. I’ve heard that several times since. Outlets like Fox News just perpetuate the problem by putting mercenary idiots like Al Sharpton on every chance they get. Black people deserve better than having those idiots held up as some cartoonish idea of what ALL black people in America think. I think some black peo

If the polar opposite was spoken by a black man in a “white” church (what is that anyway?), the person would be labeled a “sell out” or an “oreo” or a “slave to the cracker” and ostracized by his racemongering “brothers.”

Fleger and Trinity say that I’m responsible for black oppression, but I can redeem myself if I:

give up the benefits (voice rising), throw away your 401 fund, throw away your trust fund, throw away all the money you put into the company you WALKED INTO BECAUSE YO’ DADDY AND YO’ GRANDDADDY AND YO’ GREATGRANDDADDY ….

Setting aside the fact that I and most white Americans were given no such legacy from our fathers (or mothers – why the sexism, Fleger?) I hear reparations coming down the pike in an Obama administration. Yet another reason to vote for ABO (anyone but Obama)! Swallow your differences with McCain, folks, and vote!!
