NOT AGAIN?!

MORE HOLY MESS FOR OBAMA - New York Post:

"May 30, 2008 -- A Chicago pastor and spiritual adviser of Barack Obama mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton from the pulpit of the Illinois senator's church - saying her famous tearing-up moment was fueled by self-pitying feelings of 'I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show.'
The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a longtime Obama ally and political supporter, made the shocking remarks from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ Sunday.
That's the former base of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's ex-pastor, whose statements blasting the United States and calling AIDS a government plot have caused headaches for the candidate."

But Barrack has learned from his past mistake and got a statement out ASAP

""As I have traveled this country, I've been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that unites us.
"That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn't reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together."

the Father (yes he's a Catholic priest) issued an apology - but I've got to tell you I question the sincerity behind it:

"Pfleger apologized, saying: "I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Sen. Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Sen. Clinton or anyone else who saw them."

it sounds more that he is just sorry that he got caught doing it, not for actually doing it.

Now I don't know about other places -- but political speeches from the pulpit have led to Churches in our state being threatened with revolcation of their tax-free status.

And yes, if you go to the link for the original story you will find a photo of Father Hatred standing next to, who else, Rev. Jackson ... although it does not say when the photo was taken, and there is a photo of Rev. Wright who was not at the event--so it could just be a case of the media trying to feed public feelings again.
