Feel Free To Speak

Blogger Diana West at PoliticalMavens.com discusses Obama’s ties to The Nation of Islam. Very interesting. But that is not what caught my eye.

“Another Obama connection to supporters of Farrakhan comes from Obama’s chief political strategist, David Axelrod.
“WND reported this week Axelrod sits on the finance committee of St. Sabina, the Chicago Catholic parish that was led by controversial pastor Michael Pfleger, an outspoken Farrakhan supporter who hosted the Nation of Islam chief at his parish several times.
“The Archdiocese of Chicago yesterday removed Pfleger from his duties at St. Sabina for an unspecified time following a well-publicized sermon at Trinity church two weeks ago in which Pfleger claimed Sen. Hillary Clinton cried in public because she thought being white entitled her to the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Pfleger told the Chicago Sun-Times he felt free to speak about Clinton because he believed his sermon was not being recorded. He said he thought the live Internet link that normally broadcasts Trinity sermons was not running.

Now isn’t that interesting. Two (at least) different messages depending on who he is speaking to. Isn’t that special. And to think the Rev. Pfleger was once one of Obama’s close advisers. I sure hope Obama wasn’t getting any bad advice.
The Church has been looking for a way to remove the Rev. from St. Sabina for a long time. He gave them one. So far that makes the Rev. the first person in the Obama Campaign to get thrown under the bus twice. Good work Rev. If you can get it.
