Puh-leeze. The only threat Father Pfleger represents is a threat to the rigid top-down hierarchy of the church and, at times, to certain store owners and billboard salesmen...You can question Pfleger's methods -- I often do. But he also represents the best the priesthood has to offer, and a glimpse at its possible salvation.This coming from a paper that never reported the "snuff" comment until those who objected to it made it impossible to ignore--and this from a paper that refuses to look into 501(c)(3) abuses.
The "authorized journalists" co-conspirators not only give this punk cover, they laud him as the model for the future. And they wonder why their circulation keeps dropping. But then, they lied about that in the past, too. "...[F]or several years."
Still, maybe that explains a bit: billboards compete with The Sun-Times for advertising dollars. And this punk columnist has no problem with someone being a "threat...to certain store owners"? What if threats are reciprocated?
Interesting choice of headlines this vignette is posted under: "Ready for 3rd War?"
More than you enuretics at The Sun-Times, I'll wager. You have no idea what you're starting, Neil Steinberg, you morally bankrupted tool, do you?
I've been reading Steinberg for a while now, and he's normally pretty good at what he does - he even did a segment on teaching his kids to shoot (trap, IIRC), and he wasn't too weenie about the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI read today's column as being only tangentially about the "snuff out" debacle, and more a rant against The Church, although a clumsy one. I could be wrong, though - it's happened before.
