Hahaha....you comparison/reversal situation is so pathetic. The preacher, who happens to be white, was just expressing his view of what he thought of Hillary's act of crying in NH. Those were his views - i thought they were comic but you just happen to think that they carry some sort of racial undertone. Very pathetic indeed. Just watch the video again, and unless you are biased, bitter, or got some sort of other issues in you - the video is purely COMIC. Don't take this offensive but are you one of the "white people" he was refering to?

So...you don't agree with your messiah and his remarks regarding the good rev pfleger? Basically apologizing for such back-ward, divisive comments? Obviously the great one thought the comments were bad enough to jump right on it.

Or do you agree with Wright who says that Obama is a politician and will say what he needs to say?

The messiah has gotten savvy to what he needs to say in these instances. He's had enough practice over the past few months. And for sure there will be more. And I, too, am waiting for the "hate whitey" tape from the would be first lady in red. (No pun intended)

So if the same thing I suggested were directed towards Obama in a mocking way it would be a hoot? I know you won't provide a straight answer, but please try.

Why would I be offended, I thought he was just talking about Hillary, remember there we no racial overtones.

Too funny, you obviously can't keep you story straight. Don't be offended but are you one of those whitey hating people that Obama has had to disassociate himself from to get the Democrat nomination. Just curious.

These constant calls for rejections, repudiations and denouncements draw too much attention to what amounts to a non-story. Those white people who feel that Obama is a secret "whitey" hater who will unleash murderous Black people upon the American public and appoint Louis Farrakhan as Secretary of Defense, have their opinion about Obama and no amount of apologies will change that.

Barack has wisely rendered unto Ceasar what is his, and moved on.

btw - Comparing a church to Chris Rock... ??? Comedy based anger - may be funny in a comedy routine but... we have to address the truth!
I'm not so sure about that. I went to a predominately black church about 2 miles east of Trinity and it was never as controversial as this church. Our focus was on Christ, not political jargon. That's why I was never a big fan of Rev. Wright or Meeks. These ministers do a lot of work in the community I can only respect them for that. But of course their sermons are not always what you see on CNN and Fox. We're just getting a few controversial snapshots.

Well, just in case Barry gets any bright ideas, I do think the "American public" will do their best to keep Farrakhan and Hussein away from the WH and Cabinet.

He could have said what he said without the foolishness. Does he preach like that at his own church?
Well Rev. Pfeldger has worked in the black community in Chicago for as long as I can remember. The way he is talking is simply who he is. It's just like if a person from up north who moves to the south may pick up the local dialect after being around it so long. This man helped create a number of truces between gangs in the community. He may be controversial, but he's no fool. Was it fair for him to say these things about Hillary? He's saying what a lot of people have been saying since she started whinning about losing. She definitely thought she was entitled to this Presidency.

Oh, come on. Do you know WHY he had to do his idiotic "comedy routine"? Because he had NOTHING SUBSTANTIVE to say on the topic. Typical diversionary tactic -- if you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS. And people at that church were eating it up with a spoon!

Two observations: First, notice that he didn't mock McCain. Gee, I wonder why that is?! The Obamaphiles have celebrated the likelihood that Hillary's campaign is over. She's done. So, why heap derision and crap like this on her? It doesn't seem to make sense (oh, but it does, when you think about it). I believe this idiot doesn't have the set required to take on the GOP so he went for an easier target AND the Catholic Church has been quite renowned for putting women in their place, so he's following their "time-honored" mindset.

Secondly, I wonder why a guest preacher would give a "sermon" such as this. What purpose does it serve and why would it be accepted? It serves to get the minions riled up about "racism" again. From what I've read about this priest, he's too politically savvy to randomly deliver what to anyone would be an over-the-top (and seemingly pointless) sermon. Nope, this was planned and calculated. The Obamaphiles are intent on keeping race as an issue in the forefront and it's shameless.

I know many people were offended by this video, and would be even shock to have their pastor invite a guest speaker who would say such. Somewhat it seems like Barack Obama pastor and that guest speaker both made remarks on Hillary Clinton and is sorta similar.... it would be interesting to see other guest speakers they had before I would jump to conclusions (although I think I've seen enough evidence to do so ) but something to look into.

Woot Hillary
I support Hillary Clinton

To update my response, I have heard the guy was a associate of Barack Obama... now was he a well associate I'm not sure ( this is what I have heard, which I'm not surprise. )

Woot Hillary
