Political Punch

"Hillary's pastor for years is a convicted child molester. Why has that never come into question by the media or any of self righteous posters here?

Here comes the bias justification!!!"

Gary.. I want to help you understand... I'm no Hilary fan, I'm Canadian.. Here is the difference.. Hilary's preacher did not stand in the pulpit every Sunday, and scream out that he was a child molester... On the other hand Obama's spiritual mentors, and moral compasses DID spew their bigotry for 20 years and Obama saw it, heard it, and finally lied about it. He sat there for 20 years and accepted the hate, racism, and bigotry.. That is the difference.

"...so he can rest and pay attention to family concerns..." Huh? What family concerns, he is a priest..and even though I don't think you can "fire" a priest, he certainly should be permanently removed for preaching his racist and hatred for so many years.

vuzous, I can't tell if that's sarcasm. Pflegmer should have been fired years ago; as for this week he should be sent to an extended period of forced psychological evaluation.

He is not a well man.

Obama keeps trying to run from his own radicalism, and it finally caught up with him in the form of Pleger's ugly comments about Senator Clinton. Even given the horrendous treatment of both Senator Clinton and President Clinton by Obama supporters and the mainstream press, I would still be willing to vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket as VP. But if Clinton is not offered the VP, well, it will show me that all Obama's talk about being the great uniter and so forth was simply sham, jive. If Senator Clinton is not on the democratic ticket either as president or vice president, my vote goes to McCain. I would not tolerate a snub of this magnitude.

To call Father Pflegers comments sexist tells me that this word is way on its way to being overused. Mocking, perhaps, but not sexist.

"Obama has referred to him as his "moral compass." I believe that Obama sincerely meant this."
I believe he did too. But not in a good way. I pray to God I never have a moral compass such as Obama has.

By the way I think Fr. Pfleger is horrendous and got less than what he deserves

Because if we don't mention it. The Media and Former Democrats like you, in your piety, will ignore it and keep associating what other people say to Obama. (whats good for goose....)

Two weeks leave to be followed by what? My guess is a sabbatical and then a reassignment. Have we enough of a paper trail for a full defrocking? I also wonder how St. Sabina's will react to an actual Catholic priest running the show. Evan Murphy is so right when he mentions humility. So necessary for a Christian. So lacking in Pfleger.

What's Obama gonna do with his compass... spin around in circles?

Foremer Democrat: You are so right-on. Thanks.

That bigot should have been fired a LONG time ago!

Hmmm, this seems like an odd entry for a political blog. Are there any political ramifications of this decision? Are you trying to create some? :)

No real Christian would have said and done what Father Pfleger did. Jesus said love your enemies and love your neighbor. Apparently this message of love was lost on Father Pfleger and the Trinity church members hooting and hollering and applauding behind him. Those words, sights and sounds will likely not be lost on the vast majority of the American electorate come November. In 2004 approximately 121 million people voted in the presidential election. Senator Obama has collected about 18 million votes to date in the primaries. There are a lot of people out there still to be convinced by Senator Obama. And please don't tell me I don't understand the African-American church. I know hate when I see it. It looks the same in a church as it does at a rally.

Okay so who in the hell is the Clintons moral compass? CLEARLY who or whatever it is needs to be put to rest also. Last I remember thou shall not kill was a biggie. (not to mention um, adultery) I've never heard or seen the Obama body count. PLEASE elaborate. Got any names... I'm not the only person who is dying to hear this...

Well the children should be safer. LOL

I hear it often that we should never mix politics and religion. But that is impossible for this reason: Each person makes decision based on a moral filter of right and wrong. This filter is always on; at work, at home, at play, at church. It guides a person to be honest or to lie; to be kind or rude; to be humble or arrogant. It's always on, even though it's not always a conscious decision. So yes, character/religious choice does count. Always.

Obama's moral compass Pfleger was put on leave. Still, the fact that Obama acknowledged he was his moral compass explains why the puppet has the morals he has. Nothing is sacred to this man. Nothing!
