Am I The Only One That Has Seen Pfleger’s Hypocrisy? Nobody Else Has Brought This Up…

Has nobody else seen the hypocrisy of the Raunchy Father Pfleger’s remarks? I have been watching all the news shows, and reading all of the online news sites, and many, many blogs, and I have not seen anybody bring this point of glaring hypocrisy found in the statements he made last Sunday at Obama’s church.
Pfleger said this:
“I really believe that she (Hillary Clinton) just always thought, ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife, I’m white and this is mine. I just gotta 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!’ ”
In this statement, apart from all of the obvious racial overtones and sexism, we see him criticizing her for a perceived entitlement. That she is entitled to be the Nominee based on her identification. That it would be wrong, and a miscarriage of justice if Obama were the Democratic Nominee over, or before her, a white woman. It would be wrong to have a black man become Nominee before a white woman. He implies that this is her mindset as a white woman.
The identification which qualifies her, in her mind, that of being a former First lady, “Bill’s wife”, she is entitled to sit in the Oval Office before him, a junior senator. It would be unjust for him and not her to be in there, because she was there first, she lived in the White House for eight years and so it is hers, and it would be wrong for anyone else to be in there before her. She is entitled to this. He implies that this is her mindset as Bill’s wife.
The identification with her party, especially 18 months ago, before Obama came on the scene (as described above), that she was definitely going to be the Democratic Nominee, she feels that it would be unjust for her to have the popular vote and not be the nominee after all of the hoopla leading up to Obama’s announcement to run, because the hoopla was all hers before, and therefore, she was more entitled than he, within the party. He implies that this is her mindset as the early favorite.
So he basically is saying that Hillary is a whining white ex-first lady (woman) who feels entitled to be the Democratic nominee and that for Obama to get it before her, for all of the reasons stated above, would be a miscarriage of justice. It would be wrong.
He criticizes her for whining about something she feels entitled to based on an identification with her race, her gender, her seniority in the party, and her former status in the White House. And slams it, implying that that is a bunch of , that being white didn’t mean that she should be the Nominee, that being a woman didn’t mean that she should be the Nominee, that being married to a former President didn’t mean that she should be the Nominee, that being the early favorite long-time Democrat didn’t mean that she should be the Nominee, and that she should just get over it.
He slams the idea of Hillary being entitled to the Nomination based on identification.
Entitlement based on identification is wrong, and bad, and horrible, according to the Raunchy Reverend Pfleger.
Then, a little later on in the rant, he says something regarding why it’s time for a black man to be the Nominee.
He is referring to the past oppression of black people in America over the years leading up to the civil rights movement era…and make no mistake, the oppression of black people no longer exists in this country in the form that it did 100, 50, even 30 years ago.
This generation has eradicated that, and a person of this generation…MY generation (me and Hussein are a year apart)…especially Barack Hussein Obama, personally, who went to a fine prep school in Hawaii, same years I went to high school in Hawaii, and I guarantee you he NEVER felt oppressed or discriminated against because he was black while growing up in Hawaii, because I grew up there as well, and I know for a fact that black people were revered, and identified with, and accepted by locals based on their color. Embraced, even.
It was white people, Haoles (how-lees), like me, in Hawaii, during that era (even today), that experienced discrimination based on race.
I could tell you …and that is no lie.
Anyway, Pfleger now tries to say that Obama should get the Nomination because if anyone has an entitlement to the Nomination, it is him, a black man…and he tries to justify this by talking about the black oppression in America’s PAST, that my generation neither dished out, nor perpetuated, NAY…my generation helped overcome that oppression and bring blacks equality not just in letter, but in spirit.
That oppression and prejudice that Barack Obama’s generation did not experience…yet he says:
“It’s like saying to a woman who has been repeatedly raped over and over and over and over: ‘You need to get over it.’ The hell I do! Get the sucka who’s been rapin’ me and make him pay! For America has been raping people of color and America has to pay the price for rape.” (crowd goes wild)
Excuse me, America has to pay the price?
Let me get this straight. He is saying that Barack Obama is entitled to the Nomination because he is a black man and therefore identifies with all of past Black America which has suffered, and that America has to pay, and therefore, a just payment, justice, would be Obama geting the nomination. That he is entitled to it based on his identification with his race.
That he is entitled to it based on the identification with the oppression his ancestors suffered and therefore he is due justice.
This he implies. That Barack Hussein Obama is entitled to the Nomination based on his identification.
After just ranting and raving about entitlement due to identification is wrong, horrible, evil, mean, and nastay…
What a hypocrite.
What say you?
