CHICAGO (AP) - Cardinal Francis George asked a Chicago priest on Tuesday to temporarily step down from his post to “reflect on his recent statements” regarding Sen. Hillary Clinton and her bid for the White House.

Last week, the Rev. Michael Pfleger mocked Clinton at Sen. Barack Obama’s former church, saying the New York senator felt “entitled” to the Democratic nomination for president.

George asked Pfleger to take leave from pastoral duties at St. Sabina Church in order to “reflect on his recent statements and actions in the light of the church’s regulations for all Catholic priests,” according to a statement Tuesday from the Archdiocese of Chicago.

The leave was effective Tuesday and was scheduled to last “a couple of weeks.”

Pfleger, who has apologized for the comments and promised George he would no longer mention any presidential candidates by name, did not believe “this to be the right step at this time,” according to the statement.

“While respecting his disagreement, I have nevertheless asked him to use this opportunity to reflect …” George said in the statement. “I hope that this period will also be a time away from the public spotlight and for rest and attention to family concerns.”

Messages seeking comment were left Tuesday for Pfleger and the Archdiocese of Chicago.

The Archdiocese said Pfleger’s temporary replacement would be the Rev. William Vanecko, pastor of Chicago’s St. Kilian Catholic Church.

On Sunday, Pfleger apologized for his comments, saying he received more than 3,000 enraged e-mails since he gave a guest sermon at Trinity United Church of Christ.

In that sermon, Pfleger pretended he was Clinton crying over “a black man stealing my show.”
Pfleger’s sermon, along with past controversial statements by Trinity’s former longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, led Obama to resign his membership at Trinity.

Pfleger, a 59-year-old white priest at a largely black parish, has gained a reputation for impassioned sermons and activism.

Chicago cardinal asks Rev. Pfleger to step down

There are many things I am wanting to say right now but I will keep this short and to the point…

How big an ASS, and an embarrassment, have you made of yourself when the Roman Catholic Church asks you to step down??

For crying out loud, they don’t ask their pedophiles to STEP DOWN, they just transfer the bastards to another Parish and pay off the victims…

So now all of a sudden the Roman Catholic Church is going all ‘righteous‘ over a moonbat priest running his mouth over politics?? Their hypocrisy knows NO bounds…

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted that Muslims would uproot “satanic powers” and reaffirmed his prediction that the Jewish state will soon be wiped off the map, the Agence France-Presse news agency reported Monday. “Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started,” the hard-line president said.

Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday. They say they were told by a Muslim police community support officer that they could not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime.

This isn’t a Daily Snippet or a Morning Coffee kind of post, the above is simply an example of what happened in the world of TERROR and the acts committed by it’s perpetrators today…

Do you see any kind of pattern to these individual stories?? Any constant?? Any recurring factor that ties the entire snippet of stories together??

Every one of these stories is inspired by Islamic terror and has the Religion of Peace at it’s root, Islam, a murderous sect of hypocrites and perverts that follow the teachings of a Prophet of hate and intolerance, a violent collection of radical Jihadis that KILL in the name of their god, Allah, and at the behest of his Mullahs…

Europe is giving in to these savages, they are allowing them to have free access to ALL of Europe as the cowardly governments of Europe acquiesce to every demand the Muslims make in a pathetic effort to pacify the Muslim hordes in hopes that they won’t actually engage the un-armed and relatively defenseless European population in a battle for supremacy of that continent…

Can you hear the cries of old Europe as death is brought down on all that refuse to submit to The Religion of Peace?? Can you hear the cries of the men, women and children as the murdering Muslims take their lives and they have no way to fight back?? I hear them, and what I hear is “Where are the Americans?? Where are the Yanks?? They’re always saved us in the past!!”…

It won’t happen that way ever again if we are so stupid as to elect a supporter OF Islam, a faux Christian, a pretender, a poser, a Disciple of Satan himself, yes, I DO mean Barack Hussein Obama and I do NOT stutter as I say these words, Obama is EVIL incarnate and he will not stand up to anyone, anywhere, especially if it’s Islamic radicals…

Now let me ask this, can you imagine the very same thing happening in this nation?? Under an Obama presidency?? I can, because Obama will try and take our guns away from us, SOURCE, and if we allow that to happen, we will be as defenseless as the vast European continent that is rapidly being consumed by Obama’s Islamic brethren…

Remember this: An armed man is a citizen, and un-armed man is a subject, and I refuse to be a subject, I will bow to NO man, be he King, President, dictator, religious leader, NO MAN!!

Change?? Yes, America WILL change under Barack Hussein Obama, and it will be an ugly, vicious and bloody change, and America WILL be the loser if we allow a person like Barack Hussein Obama to ascend to the Oval Office…

I’ve been noticing a lot of buzz in the ’sphere about the release of a video of Obama’s wife, Michelle, ranting about «whitey» at the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.

Supposed to be tomorrow morning, Monday, June 2. Just in time for the Montana and South Dakota primaries.

The Hammond Report

Today, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Barack Obama lost his cool, calling names and making unspecified threats. Why? Ostensibly, it’s because the Tennessee Republican Party issued an Internet video featuring Michelle Obama saying she’s proud of being an American only because her husband is running for president. Well, yes, we all heard that awhile ago.

Obama Freakout Over Michelle Video: The Ticking “Whitey” Time Bomb

Rumors of a mystery tape showing Michelle Obama “Ranting And Raving Against Whitey” in Trinity United Church of Christ are circulating across conservative blogs. Bryan McAffee at RightPundits.com writes:

Well, I debated whether to even post this or not. I’m not usually into rumor or innuendo, but what the hell, lets have some fun. Larry Johnson over at No Quarter has apparently learned (he has 4 sources on this) that a video tape exists of Michelle Obama railing against whitey at Rev. Wright’s church.

GOP Rumor: Michelle Obama “Whitey” Video Lurks

Here’s the news short and sweet–if you have a copy of the Michelle Obama video, in which she is lambasting white people (four different sources say she uses “whitey” as an epithet) at Jeremiah Wright’s church, then there is an ultra conservative Republican billionaire who wants to pay your $1 million dollars for the tape. Why? He hates John McCain.

Who Wants to Be the Next Millionaire?

The Barack Obama magical touch seems to get more and more diminished the more that is discovered about him and his bitter wife.

Michelle Obama “Whitey” Video

Larry Johnson, a former DNC guy, is speculating that there is a MO video being held by the GOP as a special Nomination Gift for Barack Obama. In the video, Michelle Obama allegedly rails against “whitey” at Church with Jerry Wright.

Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” with Reverend Wright?

Now think about this, maybe there really IS a tape of Michelle Obama going nuts on the podium at the church of the infamous Rev. Jeremiah Wright, maybe Hillary KNOWS that this tape exists, maybe that’s the reason she has been so tenacious in her desire to stay in the race for president, knowing that a bombshell like this would blow Obama right out of the water, leaving her as the only viable candidate that the Dems have readily available…

If this tape does exist and is brought to public light, even the most ardent Dem supporters would be running for cover and proclaiming Hillary the chosen one…

I was reading thru a few sites that were talking about this tape and I saw a couple that said they wouldn’t show the thing if it was on YouTube or the like, simply because it would be an unfair attack on Michelle Obama and that wasn’t the right way to do this, that the candidates mate should be off limits, and to that I say, rubbish!! If she opens her mouth, she IS fair game, every word, every sentence, every nuanced look, it’s in the public domain and WE have a right to see it and either comment on it or not…

If it’s out there, lets see it, I’ll post it, as will hundreds and thousands of Republican and Conservative blogs, it’s time to put up or shut up, and if there is a Rove hand in this he needs to come on out into the light and show what he has…

Inquiring minds want to know and the very survival of this nation is at stake…

We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Hussein Obama of rare magnitude. His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of ‘Change’ or they believe him when he says he will be a ‘Uniter’.

The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma and his manner of speech, and particularly the content of that speech, changed the lives of untold millions.

On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions as well, and the results were catastrophic.

Barack Hussein Obama seems to radiate an aura of pure evil as he attempts to call upon the inspirational speaking styles of both Billy Graham and Adolf Hitler, and it makes me feel an almost primal fear every time I see this person, not a man to man fear but a deeper and much more spiritual fear, as if a pall of doom were being cast across America…

Here are just a few things that define Barack Hussein Obama:

– He voted against banning partial birth abortion.

– He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.

– Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government.

– In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing.

– Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as a minimum wage affair.

– Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.

– His religious convictions are very murky.

– He is willing to meet, unconditionally, with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

– Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations.

– Opposed the Patriot Act.

– First bill he signed that was passed was campaign finance reform.

– Voted No on prohibiting law suits against gun manufacturers.

– Supports universal health care.

– Voted Yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.

– Supports granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

– Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.

– Voted Yes on comprehensive immigration reform. Would result in 20 million instant citizens never having paid SS, many refusing to speak English, immediately sending for their 40 to 50 million extended relatives telling them not to wait and obey the laws, the once mighty USA is theirs for the taking.

– Voted Yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.

– Wants to make the minimum wage a ‘living wage’.

– Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.

– Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid.

– He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax.

– He voted No on repealing the ‘Death’ Tax.

– He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.

– Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded.

– Has never served in the military and has never visited Afghanistan, and hasn’t bothered to visit Iraq since Jan. of 2006.

– He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.

– Is a notorious gun grabber, he wants to completely disarm the American population and is a total supporter of ALL anti-gun legislation.

If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama’s and you think that his positions will bring America together or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and not re-post this message as we attempt to stop this poser from ascending to the Oval Office.

If you agree that this is an important issue, please pass it on in a nationwide emailing and re-post it on your blogs…

The mainstream media will not do it for you!

Obama is EVIL personified and a danger to America!
