A truly amazing number of people trying to justify him. To think I used to be one of those lefty-leaning granola munchers! Thank the Lord I got the cure.

Here's my response, which considering the number of posts that I write in response to Helmke/Horwitz/Sugarman/ad nauseum that get disappeared will likely only be seen here:

"This isn't an isolated incident: Father Pfleger called for someone to 'snuff' John Riggio. Mr. Riggio's crime? He's an FFL, operating a legal business within the law. When confronted, he claimed to not realize that the word had that meaning.

Attention whore? Yep.
Race baiter? Yep. Consider the exact same dialogue, but from Rev. Sharpton or Minister Farrakhan before you respond.

Priest and Pastor? Not so much. There are thousands of religious figures throughout our history who could inspire and teach without Fr. Pfleger's antics.

"This is a dangerous time in America, the freest country in the world," Pfleger says, "where you have to whisper your thoughts."
Umm, not quite, Mike. When you espouse a mixture of st00pid and fail, you don't get to don the hair shirt when you get called out for your actions."

If the Roman Catholic Church had 1%of the discipline it had just a century ago, Fr. Snuffy would find himself posted to a tiny crossroads mission in Namibia, by direct order of the Pope.

Pfather Jack needs to be shipped off someplace with a lot of heavy mind altering substances, and for a good long time, at least until he's come back to reality.

Really, this is no different then the "rehab" political types go to when they do something wrong, or the paid leave only ones get when they draw too much attention.

He'll be back.

Wow! Start saying anything that might be construed as racist, and the high mucketymucks in the Catholic Church get bent out of shape, but call for the death of a legitimate gun vendor, and, hey! it's fine with us!

It seems that, once again, Cardinal George is backing down.
