OBAMA'S 'SPIRITUAL' PROBLEM
May 31, 2008 -- Americans sure must be wondering about Barack Obama's
"spirit" these days - given the wackiness of his spiritual advisers.
Turns out the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who calls AIDS a government plot
and suggests America deserved 9/11, isn't the only nut-job pastor
informing Obama's moral judgment.
Enter the Rev. Michael Pfleger, who's tight with Nation of Islam hate-
monger Louis Farrakhan and who reportedly once threatened to "snuff
out" a Chicago gun-shop owner.
If you haven't yet caught Pfleger's dimented impersonation of Obama
rival Hillary Clinton on YouTube, you should check it out.
In it, the puerile pulpiteer suggests - in a "sermon" at (of course)
Obama's Trinity United Church of Christ - that Clinton is a racist who
thinks she's "entitled" to be president because she's white and is
outraged at the thought of "a black man stealing my show."
White himself, he also blames today's whites for past slavery because,
he says (confusing cause and effect), they are "the beneficiaries" of
it.
The Obama connection?
Pfleger is a longtime ally, and the Illinois senator once funneled
$100,000 in taxpayer funds to a youth center at the church Pfleger
runs.
The priest, in turn, penned a glowing "faith testimonial" that the
Obama campaign posted on its Web site. (It's gone now.)
Yes, Obama distanced himself from Wright and rejected Pfleger's
comments.
But that's now. What about then?
Why embrace such people in the first place? It's most worrisome.
