Father Pfleger Targets Toy Guns in Easter Baskets as Gateway to Firearms | TheBlaze.com

 

[Dale64]

He states that "any psychiatrist will tell you a child who gets comfortable playing with toy guns and pointing them at people as a child becomes comfortable picking them up as an adult."

GOOD! I am glad that they would be comfortable picking up a gun.
If more people were comfortable and educated about guns they would realize that they are not "tools of death".
I have been shooting guns all my life (48yrs) and have yet to kill anything unless paper, tin cans or bottles can die an untimely death.
Guns do not cause violence... violent people choose to use guns as a means of venting their anger!

Michael Pfleger

In May 2007, During a Rainbow/PUSH Coalition protest outside a suburban Chicago gun shop, Pfleger was accused of threatening the life of the owner, John Riggio. The Illinois State Rifle Association released a tape where Pfleger was heard telling the assembled crowd, "He's the owner of Chuck's. John Riggio. R-i-g-g-i-o. We're going to find you and snuff you out… you know you're going to hide like a rat. You're going to hide but like a rat we're going to catch you and pull you out." Pfleger later claimed his use of the phrase "snuff you out" was misinterpreted.

On March 28, 2008, Pfleger invited Jeremiah Wright, former pastor of Barack Obama, the current president of the United States, to deliver a blessing at Saint Sabina during a visit by poet Maya Angelou.

This guy is some piece of work. He's been censured by the Catholic church. Cardinal George rebuked Pfleger, saying, "Publicly delivering a threat against anyone's life betrays the civil order and is morally outrageous, especially if this threat came from a priest." Pfleger claimed that he did not intend to use the word "snuff" as a slang term for "kill", but rather as a substitute for "pull", as he used later in his statement.

On Wednesday, April 27, 2011, the homepage of the website of the Archdiocese of Chicago released a statement from Cardinal Francis George in the form of a letter, temporarily suspending Father Pfleger from administering any of the sacraments (save for the administration of the Sacrament of Penance in an emergency, which even laicized or excommunicated priests may do) and from his active ministry as pastor of St. Sabina's Parish. George had recently suggested that Pfleger take the position of president at Chicago's Leo High School, but Pfleger said he would consider leaving the Catholic Church if forced to leave his parish. Cardinal George replied, in part, "If that is truly your attitude, you have already left the Catholic Church." [32] Cardinal George lifted the suspension on May 20, 2011.

Obama earmarked lots of money for this guy while an Illinois senator.

I like where ” Morrissey writes, “but as a Catholic priest, shouldn’t he be more offended by Easter eggs, Easter bunnies, and the commercialization of the holiest day on the Christian calendar? Isn’t that his day job?”

It's more difficult to molest the well-armed...

I think "controversial" priests should be targeted.....

 

[Tucker's Mom]

Priests, laymen, politicians, name it -- as long as they are from the Chicago circulo, you can take what they say with a grain of salt.

This man has got to be trying out for the leadership position of the westboro baptist church. There is no other group in this country that values stupidity of this magnitude and the audacity to proclaim it to the public in the media more than they do!

The truly pathetic thing is the ease in which the local media eats this claptrap up and regurgitates it as legitimate news. He shouldn't be able to have his views known beyond his parish and in truth, he shouldn't have a parish to listen to him.

This guy needs to go pound sand and learn to keep his mouth shut. (before he gets snuffed out).

What would you expect from a low IQ moron and Jew hater who denies that Louis Farrakhan is a Jew hater?

It's because of scum like him that I left Chicago AND the Catholic Church.
