MUST SEE: Fox News Smack-Down Regarding Rev. Wright
Fox news seems to be obsessed with Pastor Wright and Obama. I think they got a little more than they bargained for when they met up with Father Pfleger during an interview. Watch him lay the smack down on the rabid Fox reporter.

Watch the video here:

It is disgusting, he gets two 'Catholics' on to basically agree with him in condemning Rev. Pfleger.

Edit: to to two

I have XP on a separate hard drive, but that means a restart to boot it. Very rarely worth it, but for needing to use some OS specific programs now and then.

Friendlier than Xen, less license restrictive than VmWare, reboots not required for virtual machine loading.

which locks up on occasion.

Edited on Sun Apr-06-08 02:50 PM by KCabotDullesMarxIII
His diatribes against the Scribes and the Pharisees to their faces, make even Hunter S Thompson's most searing diatribes seem like nursery talk. And his invective was masterful by even the most discriminating standards.

69. Bill McCarthy. How dare Father Pfilger not incite more hatred against
Rev. Wright. When is Bill going to propose congressional hearings on "Un-American Activities" and establish a Clergy Blacklist? .:sarcasm:

I guess Bill is incapable of seeing the hate and racism that HE himself is inciting. I get the feeling that Bill would be just fine if someone shot Rev. Wright. He would think it justified.

25. Good find, and well worth it. On to the greatest.
The interviewer was really trying to toss out the labels, huh?
Rev. Pfleger did a good job of keeping relatively cool in the midst of that.

this non-theist gives him a big thumbs up for that.

The great part about it is that the Fox "News" ~ "Reporter" was trying his best to out slick him and got the smack down of his life ~ simple brilliant.

Thank you Father!

Digging himself into a deeper hole.
Maybe later I'll look at the other video clips posted in the threads of Bill O'R and others, but at the moment I'm channelling Barbara Bush: why should I waste my beautiful mind with such filth?

61. Everyone Can't Handle the Truth
It seems some people simply can't handle the truth. It's like showing them Kryptonite or something. Like the reporter (I use the term loosely) on the video just simply didn't accept Father Pfleger's truth...no matter how he framed it. I thought he gave excellent comparisons.

but i will upload it with the following keywords: Pfleger smear Wright

so, search for that tomorrow and it might show up. hopefully there wont be a problem with youtube since the vid is already in flv form. sometimes that causes problems. if that occurs ill have to convert it to another file type and reupload it to be reconverted again, on youtube, lol.

the hatred tossed at Jackson, Sharpton, and Wright would be tenfold against MLK if he were alive.

He became a saint to some only when he became a martyr.

87. Chalmers Johnson, Gore Vidal, Noam Chomsky ... just off the top of my head
said the same thing as Rev Wright a few days after 9-11. Chalmers Johnson called it the CIA term "blowback." Gore Vidal cited physics "for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction." Noam Chomsky said that America only needed look in the mirror to understand why 9-11 happened.

Three wise men, none of them black preachers. They were only critizing, not hating.

75. Be Prepared - Stay Focused
The relentless attempt of the "Powerful" to create distraction, separation and division by use of racial suggestion is the oldest tool in the "Art of War" against ordinary people. Rise above this, look to something new, something better, something real, something good.

Recognize the ability of Barack Obama to bring people of all backgrounds together for the betterment of our Country and our World...

Unfortunately, the same tool of racism is being used to try to destroy what we see can be....



Several problems that need to be dealt with:

Credit Card interest rates: Get the DVD "MAXED OUT" Must See Documentary...

Transportation Costs: Truckers are now spending $900 to fill up their tanks; 1/3 of operating cost of airlines are fuel. Just everyday people's cost of getting to and from work (but everyone feels this)...

Baby Boomer Generation retiring at the same time when they are seeing their life's savings (retirement and 401k) drop like a rock.

Food Costs - Grocery store visits are getting much more painful...

Energy Costs - BGE (Baltimore Gas & Electric) slapped near an 70% increase in energy charge rates to consumers... OUCH! And really now competiton...

Fewer "Living Wage" Jobs... Fewer "None Living Wage" Jobs...: Over 200,000 jobs cut in first qtr 2008... Many more on the way out.

Rent is way up. Foreclosures are way up. Property values are way down. Interest Rates for consumers are still up (6.35%) or so, despite the government significantly lowering interest rates for banks and investment firms... The Feds poured a trillion dollars into the financial markets over the past 8 months, and much more to come... Where did this money come from and who's going to pay for it?

People with poor credit, can't get credit to bail themselves out of the mess, The Great Depression sets in... From Family to Family...

The War In IRAQ... Talk about an "Ear Mark" Spending $10 to $12 Billion a month on an experiment gone bad... "Hello, Washington we have a fire raging in America, Hello...Hello?


We have an Administration that has so FUBAR'ED America's:
Financial Policy
Energy Policy
Foreign Policy
Domestic Policy

Demand discussions on the real issues.

The reporter just ignored the answers to every question he asked.
Then Fox airs a snippet from Father Pfleger that aids your own purposes.
It used to be you asked to question to find out the answer, NOT to insist your view is correct.

Fox needs to be stopped. They are neither reporting nor informing.

89. he discussed, in a way more respectful way than I could, that the media is choosing
Edited on Sun Apr-06-08 11:15 AM by izzybeans
to present Wright and Farrakhan as racists and anti-american. He claimed vigorously that these two men were personal friends of his and that the media couldn't be more wrong. He then told the faux reporter that he knew nothing of Martin Luther King and if he were still alive that reporters like him would be tarnishing his image in the same way that Wright's is currently being tarnished. He then said, "that's why they decided it was time for him to die" and walked off (referring to MLK's criticism of the U.S. and his support for worker's rights).

I often why the other 30 years of Rev. Wright is ignored as well as the entire sermon he gave from those snippets. As far as Fara kan, is he anti-semitic or anti-zionist. There is a difference.

i am thankful for DU !!! i should have joined long ago. i remember watching intently the election returns and hearing "Gore wins Florida". i was so excited. Then, I hear that the Bush's were out to dinner in Florida (Sr. Bush and Mrs. Bush and George Jr and his wife,) and they were told the news at their table. The report said that they got up and left the table. Then, I heard Bush took Florida. I will never forget it. Something shut down inside me at that moment and I thought: "thats it, we have lost the right to elect". I did not come back to politics and having hope until now. YES WE CAN !

My priest is awesome - A democrat. But this guy does not shy away from Fox News. I like how he talked about Bill O'Reilly and how he wasn't a Marine, like Rev. Wright.

Also, I know this is stupid, but don't "reporters" ask questions, etc. and not make judgments. When the Fox News stooge said, "Rev Wright is a bigot" he should have repeated whatever statement could lead to that conclusion - but not make the conclusion himself.

I wish more people would call out Fox on their style of "reporting."

104. That's the kind of Christian that made me respect Christianity again.
I grew up about 10 miles from the Trinity Broadcasting headquarters, and the dominant face of Christianity for me was a hate-filled group of know-nothings bent on destroying everyone who didn't go to their church. I had no idea that there were actually some really thoughtful Christians out there who still cared for the poor and suffering.

I downloaded this to pass around too. Father Pfleger is a great speaker.

You know what.. you're justifying love by Dr King saying be judged by the content of your character and not the color of your skin. Read the first part of that speech where he talked about the injustices of America. Read his speech about the Vietnam war. Read his speech from Letter from a Birmingham jail where he talked about America. Listen to what Dr. King, we like to take Dr King and repackage him and it's this wonderful little loving sweet guy with an olive branch in his hand. That's not Martin Luther King cause I knew him too. And Martin Luther King spoke truth to this country and that's why he's dead now. Because they decided that he had to die.

Thank you for posting this! It's one of the best things I've seen this month.

On a sadder note, I just googled for something and landed on the following. Despicable bottom-feeding, knuckle-dragging sociopaths at Hillary Clinton's website haven't stopped at Randi. They're trying to get Father Pfleger reprimanded for that interview.



(4-3-08) Bill O'Reilly Tonight Interviews a Priest Supporting Rev. Wright and Farrakhan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just saw a preview of another explosive video of a Catholic priest, who defended Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan! Bill interviews the Priest on 'The O'Reilly Factor' tonight, 7 pm CDT.

call the diocese they are taking notes... not happy at the diocese there at all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the RC priest is Fr. Michael Pflager from St. Sabine's Church in Chicago,IL and he is YELLING about how great Farakan,Wright are etc and it sounds as if he is threatening people if they keep threatening or harrassing Wright in anyway over the "few out of context sound bites" they better watch it... THIS NEEDS TO BE cleared up there is no way that these are just 30 sec soundbites taken out of context -the man demoralizes with the most disgusting names so many people in addition to hate preaching and anti-American and 911 blaming...

The Archbishop is Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I, 312-751-8200. The bishop is out of town (they say), however, his secretary is receiving phone calls and taking notes about this priest and his behaviors-needless to say they are not happy there today-there is also some info out that Fr. Michael has been a big Obama supporter and has given a lot to him or Trinity church and for some reason Trinity Church gave 225,000 to St. Sabine's WOW not sure what that is all about!

/////

This priest should be excommunicated.

////

Whoa - get a load of this!

http://www.saintsabina.org/

////

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN...ANOTHER EXTREME PASTOR...YIKES!

////

I'm calling....everyone call, especially Catholics!

////

OK, I just called. I recommend that everyone call because (as previously mentioned) they ARE taking recorded messages about this.

They must be getting many calls; the lady who answered the phone correctly guessed what I was calling about before I got halfway through explaining to her!

312-751-8200

////

Hopefully this will get Rev. Wright back on the front page!

was who was asking the questions.

161. I suspect that was by design
what reporter doesn't want to be shown when doing an interview? This little coward was too afraid of being seen.

145. So many times you hear that something is a "smackdown" and it's not -- but this truly IS.
Loved the part where he paints different scenarios where Fox News would have portrayed even Jesus as a madman. This man is awesome!

148. Wow, just double Wow.

this man has put into words all the things I would like to be able to say to others. Thank you Father Pleger, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

And the Berrigan brothers were from what religion? I am amazed at the depth of knowlege by both Father Pleger and during VietNam, the Berrigans.

Their reporters aren't prepared for someone that can stay focussed and on point.

151. I wish the good Father would have turned the tables on the rather ignorant reporter
and brought up the history of the American press. . .and why only white media outlets were called "mainstream" journalism. I'll bet that would have stumped that reporter so fast the guy wouldn't be able to ask another question. The Father could have asked the "reporter" why there were "alternative" publications and media developed in this country, and why they are still here. . .and he could have asked the reporter to explain why only white males were allowed to report the "news" until the early 1970's. . .and STILL dominate reporting today.

152. This "reporter" stopped being a "reporter" after the second question
His professional credentials should be questioned. And if the clown ever looks for another job outside the network, someone needs to keep this tape and send it along to every other media outlet.

155. Porter Berry = MAJOR ASSCLOWN.
I love how with each smackdown to the question there was a "...but...but...but" response from O'Reilly's assclown producer, Porter Berry.

160. Father Pfleger Is Why I Love America
This man belongs in Caroline Kennedy's "A Patriot's Handbook." Speak truth to power.

163. Father Pfleger debunked virtually every Fox News talking point
The fact that the reporter is a spoon-fed worthless twit is only incidental.
