It is more evident each day that race is and will be a major issue in this election. Go to CNN News and see the video of the Rev Michael Pfleger, a Catholic Priest speaking at the Trinity United Church of Christ of Chicago Illinois, Obama's Church. I wanted to post the Video but couldn't get it moved over to the forum. I am not a Clinton fan by any means, but I don't think the Clintons record on race issues deserved this at all.

I saw the priest catering to the audience on tape last night and could not believe what I was seeing let alone seeing a Catholic priest who would act in such a manner.
He is right about one thing though, Hillary really believed the Democrat nomination was about her, was hers for the taking, and she was "entitled."
Waldo, Myrna and I watched it twice on the news last night and again on the early news this A.M.. I could not beleve that a Catholic Priest was lowering himself to that level. This well may end up being the nastiest election in my time, after all it is the first election with serious contenders of different races and genders.

Couls it be the guy was tryin to be funny? May have been in what a lot of people consider bad taste but it WAS funny lol. Obama takes himself pretty seriously also, think they ALL need to lighten up. It ain't like any of em are really gonna make any difference :P
when was the last time any of you remember so many ministers trying for the limelight during a political campaign? I can't remember a one, other than the Jesse Jackson campaign, and then it wasn't like it is now. Does this mean that religion and politics are going to get together again?
I think it means that not every person who says he has been called by God has not in fact been called by God.
Flo, good thought, but don't you truly doubt it. That would mean that they would have to be a little more observeant in this world. They should now, but we know that they are not!!!

God help us if they do...............
I don't think the Bakers were ever in politics, maybe so. You know, Tammy Faye's second husband is a cousin of my Dad's. Roe's grandfather and my grandmother were sister and brother. Maybe the "hub-bub" of today is just because the political campaigns have been so controversial and nasty. Be glad when it's over. I still say MONTE TUCKER FOR PRESIDENT.
