White Minister/Wright Defender Schools Faux News Producer
This is a gem of a challenge to a Faux News hack producer of the O'Reilly Factor who is desperate to push the smear campaign against Obama as hard as he can.
Why can't Democrats challenge Faux News like this minister? Brilliant stuff. That'll learn ya!
Watch here.

I recommended this post because everyone needs to see the good father. Is it possible to put it on youtube? it needs to be out there.

Interestingly, I came across this video two nights ago -- just surfing, don't even remember how I got there. Great stuff. Shows the stupid people Billo sends out to interview people, but yes, this man of the cloth really gives this kid holy hell!

Yeah, it was a great video. That guy got crushed. "But-but-but MLK preached love, he preached love, and Wright preached hate!" So the good minister suggested he read the entire speech, not just the "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" line. In other words: reading=good; stupid=bad.

That was AWESOME!!!
I don't think Reverend Wright's position on the AIDS virus is out of touch with reality.
It boggles my mind that the MSM conveniently forgets the Bayer Drug scandal of the 80s...I mean, the New York Times blew the lid on it back in 2003...
For those who don't remember, Bayer Drug sold Factor VIII, a blood-clotting medicine, to hemophiliacs here in the US and abroad. Well, Bayer found out that this medicine, an injectible, was contaminated with the AIDS virus. It stopped selling it in the US, but Bayer continued to sell it to foreign countries.
Bayer deliberately tried to keep the whole AIDS contamination thing out of the press so that it wouldn't get stuck with a huge stockpile of meds that it couldn't sell. I mean, that would be bad for business.
And when the FDA found out about this, its only concern was to keep it from Congress and the medical community. Did it help Bayer spread AIDS to hemophiliacs across the world??
LOVELY.

Yes Father Pfleger is awesome. He set that hack straight. He also has two other videos. One is called "The Truth About Obama's Church" that was made by Trinity back when the "controversy" first erupted. Check it out. Father Pfleger is no joke. :)

If there were more straight-talking preachers like this, I might not be an agnostic.
Every year I get pressured to attend the Christmas service of my wife's family's church, and every year I decline because the guy up front had tried to say Jesus would be all for the war. No, I don't think so.

That was rad, to bring back an 80's slange term that probably should remain dead and buried ;-)
But seriously, that was by far the best response I have seen yet to the whole Reverend Wright "controversy".
Too bad it isn't a 30 second soundbite. Unfortunately, many many people never think beyond 30 seconds anyway and therefor never assemble an informed opinion about anything.
I sure hope people watch this interview from beginning to end and pay attention.

I love it. I love how the reporter just seemed flabbergasted. That priest was seriously endangering that reporter's insulated little reality!

Father Pfleger is a Roman Catholic Priest. They are not called 'preachers', by anyone ever. What frickin planet do you live on?

he preaches the gospel of God, does he not?

Oh my. If there were more priests like that maybe I'd still be a Catholic. That was absolutely awesome.
