Obama supporters AGAIN allegedly misuse United Church of Christ tax exempt resources to campaign for Obama
by Bill Levinson

Chicago Catholic pastor Michael Pfleger, speaking Sunday at Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ, implied Clinton was a white supremacist who believed she would win the nomination because of “white entitlement.”

“We must be honest enough to expose white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises its head. …Reverand Moss, when Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don’t believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white. And this is mine. I just got to get up and step into the plate.’ And then out of nowhere came, hey, I’m Barack Obama. And she said, ‘Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m white. I’m entitled. There’s a black man stealing my show.’”


[Michael] Pfleger then mimicked Clinton crying as the audience [Barack Obama's congregation] erupted into applause and gave Pfleger’s remarks a standing ovation. Clinton has become emotional during several interviews this year, and some media commentators have questioned her sincerity.

In his sermon, Pfleger added, “She wasn’t the only one crying. There was a whole lot of white people cryin’.”

Aaron Klein, “Hillary believed she’d win ’cause she’s white’”

(1) A mere week or so after the Internal Revenue Service decided that the United Church of Christ was not to blame for Barack Obama’s premeditated misuse of its tax exempt resources to support his campaign, Michael Pfleger gave a pro-Obama campaign speech at yet another UCC church.

(2) Obama welcomed testimonials not only from Michal Pfleger but also from Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright, and we have the screen shots to prove it. We encourage our readers to download, copy, and circulate these screen shots as widely as possible because the Obama campaign has taken them down and does not want voters to know the truth.

Here is what Michael Pfleger, whose testimonial Barack Obama welcomed until a few days ago (see screen shot below, and please copy and circulate), said from the pulpit of a tax exempt religious institution.

“We must be honest enough to expose white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises his head. … When Hillary was crying, people said that was put on. I really don’t believe it was put on. I really believe she just always thought, ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white and this is mine! I just got to get up, and step up to the plate.’ Then out of nowhere came Barack Obama!”

Pfleger feigned tears, continuing: “‘I’m white, I’m entitled, there’s a black man stealing my show.’ She wasn’t the only one crying. There were a whole lot of white people crying. … I’m sorry, I don’t want to get you in any more trouble.”

That was a fine afterthought, noting that the United Church of Christ just got out of trouble with the United Church of Christ–trouble that resulted from Barack Obama’s willful and premeditated decision to campaign at the UCC’s meeting in Hartford Connecticut. One would think that the UCC would now be more circumspect about the kind of people it allows to speak in its churches, but the bottom line appears to be that Obama’s church welcomes this sort of thing. The audience, i.e. the congregation of which Barack and Michelle Obama have been members for more than 20 years, cheered loudly during Pfleger’s tirade.

It is also to be noted that Obama’s NEW pastor, Otis Moss, introduced Michael Pfleger (”a prophetic, powerful, pulpiteer”) and then apparently stood by while he delivered this mixture of electioneering and hate speech.

Cardinal George weighs in on Pfleger flap

But since then, George has had to address controversial statements by Pfleger. At a rally for gun control in front of a Riverdale gun store last year, Pfleger named the owner of the gun store and threatened to “snuff” him out, which the Illinois State Rifle Association complained was street lingo for murder. Using the same language, Pfleger also called out legislators who accept money from the National Rifle Association.

…Hopkins said Trinity’s current pastor, Rev. Otis Moss III, who is shown in the video introducing Pfleger, has been more careful and nuanced in the sermons he has delivered during the political season.

Note that he launches into the political part of this speech with “I don’t want to make this political.” At this point, Moss or someone else could have held up a hand and reminded him that tax regulations do not allow a church’s resources to be used for electioneering, but this did not happen. Then he continues with the racial remarks that are quoted above, while the audience displays overwhelming and unanimous approval. Imagine what decent people might say about a predominantly white audience applauding and cheering a clergyman who said, “There were a whole lot of Black people crying.” It is eminently clear that Barack and Michelle Obama belong to a racist church, and it is quite likely that they are racists themselves. People tend to associate with people with whom they agree, and the fact that the Obamas surround themselves with racists, anti-Semites, and Catholic-hating bigots speaks for itself. Here are Barack Obama’s Black Nationalist politics in his own words, not those of Hillary Clinton or John McCain.

I would occasionally pick up the paper [Louis Farrakhan’s “The Final Call”] from these unfailingly polite men, in part out of sympathy to their heavy suits in the summer, their thin coats in winter; or sometimes because my attention was caught by the sensational, tabloid-style headlines (CAUCASIAN WOMAN ADMITS: WHITES ARE THE DEVIL). Inside the front cover, one found reprints of the minister’s [Farrakhan’s] speeches, as well as stories that could have been picked straight off the AP news wire were it not for certain editorial embelleshments (”Jewish Senator Metzenbaum announced today…”). [While Obama does not praise this hate speech, he does not condemn it either.]

Dreams From My Father, p. 201

It contradicted the morality my mother had taught me, a morality of subtle distinctions–between individuals of goodwill and those who wished me ill, between active malice and ignorance or indifference. I had a personal stake in that moral framework; I’d discovered that I couldn’t escape it if I tried. And yet perhaps it was a framework that blacks in this country could no longer afford; perhaps it weakened black resolve, encouraged confusion within the ranks. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and for many blacks, times were chronically desperate. If nationalism could create a strong and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence.

If nationalism could deliver. As it turned out, questions of effectiveness, and not sentiment, caused most of my quarrels with Rafiq.

–Dreams From My Father, pp. 199-200

That was the problem with people like Joyce [a college classmate of Italian, African-American, Native American, and French ethnicity]. They talked about the richness of their multicultural heritage and it sounced real good, until you noticed that they avoided black people. …The truth was that I understood [Joyce], her and all the other black kids who felt the way she did. In their mannerisms, their speech, their mixed-up hearts, I kept recognizing pieces of myself. And that’s exactly what scared me. Their confusion made me question my own racial credentials all over again. …To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

“Dreams From My Father,” pages 99-100

This Black Nationalism is reinforced by Michelle Obama’s “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community”

Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would use all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost. My experiences at Princeton have made me more aware of my “Blackness” than ever before.

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson [Obama], “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” page 2

These experiences have made it apparent to me that the path I have chosen to follow by attending Princeton will likely lead to my further integration and/or assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society. [page 2]

Elements of Black culture which make it unique from White culture such as its music, its language, the struggles and a “consciousness” shared by its people may be attributed to the injustices and oppression suffered by this race of people which are not comparable to the experiences of any other race of people through this country’s history. However, with the increasing integration of Blacks into the mainstream society, many “integrated Blacks” have lost touch with the Black culture in their attempts to become adjusted and comfortable in their new culture–the White culture. Some of these Blacks are no longer able to enjoy the qualities which make Black culture so unique or are unable to share their culture openly with other Blacks because they have become so far removed from these experiences and, in some instances, ashamed of them because of their integration.

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson [Obama], “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” page 54

“Elements of Black culture which make it unique from White culture such as its music…” Michelle Obama must think that Caucasians are somehow genetically incapable of composing or playing jazz and rap music. We will prove Michelle Obama wrong by showing that a white person can indeed compose rap. The following is dedicated to the Reverend Al Sharpton, whom Barack Obama praised and endorsed last April. “Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up.”

A Rap Song for Al Sharpton

Now you honkies listen, and listen real good
I’m gonna tell you how it works in my ‘hood.

Back in 1988, in Wappingers Falls
Mason, Maddox and I had the place by the balls!

We found us a girl, her name was Tawana
She made the whole town one great big pinata!

We whacked it around, and raised an uproar,
We ruined lives and reputations, and then even more.

Half a million dollars, Dutchess County it spent,
It paid dear for our circus, ere from it we went.

Then came Crown Heights, in 1991
My mob went wild, and boy it had fun!

The “diamond merchants” sure got a clue,
When my mob rampaged and screamed, “Kill the Jew!”

They found one, name of Yankel Rosenbaum
The brother that knifed him was no Uncle Tom.

They rioted and screamed, that was a fact
Like the Nazis did, on good old Kristallnacht.

Four years later, we gave Whitey straight dope
Harlem’s a Black ‘hood, don’t you dare interlope. *

To Freddy’s Fashion Mart, my National Action Network
Marched round and round, to drive out the white jerk.

Called him “white interloper,” and “bloodsucking Jew,”
“Jew bastards!” and “cracker lovers!” we also threw.

We screamed epithets, camped out on his porch
Called him a cracker, said his business we’d torch.

Roland Smith was my fan, and I sure raised his ire.
At Freddy’s Fashion Mart, he set a big fire!

A Molotov cocktail, the flash of a match,
And your white-owned Jew store is a pile of ash!

* Sharpton personally called the owner of Freddy’s Fashion Mart a “white interloper.”

See, Michelle, Whitey can rap too! Finally we come to Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright, who:

(1) Blood libeled the United States by accusing it of creating the AIDS virus
(2) Published a guest piece that blood libeled Israel by accusing it of developing an “ethnic bomb” to kill Black people and Arabs
(3) Said that the United States got a “wake up call” on 9/11
(4) Wrote “state” of Israel, as in “so-called state of Israel”
(5) Published a guest piece from a Hamas terrorist named Marzook
(6) Gave a Trumpet Award to Louis Farrakhan
(7) Accompanied Farrakhan to Libya to meet with Moammar Khadafy
(8) Called upon God to damn America
