More about Obama's favorite priest

A couple of posts down, we discuss the hate-filled, anti-Hillary, anti-white rant offered by the bizarre Father Michael Pfleger, a priest at Saint Sabina's in Chicago. Pfleger -- a white priest leading a predominantly black church -- is Obama's other spiritual mentor.

Pfleger is known for his ludicrous and insulting attempts to mimic the oratorical style of a black Baptist preacher. He comes across a bit like Ben Stein trying to imitate Little Richard.

This guy has quite a history. Angered by a Chicago gun shop owner named John Riggio, Pfleger offered this threat in public:
We’re going to find you and snuff you out … you know you’re going to hide like a rat... We’re going to snuff out John Riggio, we’re going to snuff out legislators that are voting against our gun laws. We're coming for you...
Obama remained friendly with the priest even after this unconscionable outburst. The Senator is going to have an even more difficult time convincing gun owners that he favors their rights to bear arms.

Father Pfleger is also part of the corrupt Illinois "Combine":
He gave Obama's campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.
"Pay to play" meets "Pay to pray." (You should read this entire article -- Obama sure knows how to help those who contribute to his fund.)

Priests in Chicago are usually rotated out of a church after six years, but Pfleger has held onto his job by threatening to start his own religion if his superiors make any attempt to silence him. I say let him go. The Catholic Church has lasted 2000 years; Pfleger's proposed new cult probably won't last 2000 days.

I heard Pfleger today and thought he was definitely channeling Sam Kinnison. Scary, since he wasn't kidding, one guesses.
