I have been to two handfuls of churches where the pastor says a lot of shock and awe statements, to make us (people) reflect on our inner demons. Pastors are people also; Did he get caught up in the moment? Any way good choice by the catholic church to suspend this Priest because we all know how righteous They are and They don't need this type of PR How in the world is Obama linked to this guy, I mean isn't it easy to see that preachers operate under different rules than I guess almost any one else.

Now that Obama has locked up the nomination we can finally shift all this Hillary talk to "da Man" and talk up da Man's extensive executive background, lengthy congressional service record, lengthy foreign relations career, commended military service record, documented history of reversing economic policy disasters, and so on and so on. Seriously, anyone care that Obama has the worst attendance record of any first term U.S. Senator in U.S. history who wasn't physically incapacitated or serving in a war? Only a dimwit (er demwit) would elect a person so profoundly unqualified as Obama to be their nominee. It's almost like Rove is in the wings at the DNC orchestrating Obama's nomination.

Father Pfleger apologized later, but that is not enough; those members who participated in that ugly floor show need to follow up with a collective apology. The whole scene gave the impression that the atmosphere in the church was not abnormal. That leads to the following question: how can Obama claim to be unaware -- directory or indirectly - of such church sermon after having been a part of it for twenty years? it's a hard sell.

Have you read the Song of Songs? Jesus used pretty coarse language and certainly Paul did in his epistles. It sounds like the Bible most of us acknowledge is a pretty sanitized version of the whole. I did not agree with what he said, but I get worried when our elected officials are saying in public, "This should never be said in the pulpit." Separation of church and state is for the protection of religious institutions against state sanctioning of religious speech and practice. I also worry more about ministers, churches, denominations and non-profits on both sides of the political spectrum throwing their support behind a certain political party or individual running for office instead of someone saying something naughty.
