More video tape has surfaced of “Father” Pfleger’s “sermon” from last Sunday. In it, he says that America is the greatest sin against God. Pfleger bases this claim in the fact that racism is still America’s greatest addiction. How this man can say that in the face of all the evidence to the contrary (a black Secretary of State, a black man on the verge of clinching the nomination of the Democratic party, high levels of black home ownership, unprecedented levels of success for all Americans) speaks volumes about how his race baiting antics are a practiced schtick based more in audience reaction than reality.

American Thinker blogger James Lewis calls for the Catholic Chruch to do something about the Excreble Pfleger, and points out Pfleger’s long time ties to Obama, Louis Farrakahn, Wright, and Marxist front group ACORN.

The Catholic Church has a responsibility in this matter. It has bent over backwards to protect the privacy of ordained priests who have been engaged in regular sexual abuse of children. I have not seen evidence that child abuse occurs more often among priests than in the general population. I understand the Church has its own ways of dealing with errant priests. Nevertheless, the public seems to have the accurate impression that the Church is tainted with the worst public behavior in centuries. This has done immense damage to its reputation among Catholics and the general public all around the world. The response of the Church is widely considered to be grossly inadequate, even by faithful Catholics.

Father Pfleger brings public scandal to the Church. He clearly and obviously, on videotape,preaches racial hatred. He does so with plenty of prior rehearsal and maybe coaching, in order to sound just like race-baiting ole’ Reverend Wright, who has apparently been conducting a school for race baiters over at Trinity United. The Democrat Party of Chicago, Louis Farrakhan, the whole den of thieves of the Illinois Democrat Machine has obviously known about this for decades. The radical Left and ACORN (Obama’s “community organizing” radicals) must have known all about it. The Obamas were up to their necks in guilty knowledge. The Clintons knew.  Everybody knew.

By the way, how many of you knew that as an Illinois State Senator Obama directed over $200,000 in earmarks to Pfleger’s church?

   Pleger is an attention seeker, a wannabe celebrity among people who have no taste or discernment. The Catholic Church is not so hard up for priests that they have to keep a crackpot like Pfleger around. If he truly wants to do something against racism, poverty, etc., there are many third-world countries where he can be assigned and learn firsthand just what racism and hatred are really like.
