Inside the Wire
Lynn Sweet has a report in the Chicago Sun-Times about David Axelrod’s further interest in demagoguery —this time in the person of a self-loathing radical Catholic priest (emphasis mine):
WASHINGTON — The Rev. Michael Pfleger’s “I’m white! I’m entitled … black man stealing my show” outburst about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from the pulpit of the Obama family church, Trinity United Church of Christ, created a political problem for likely Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama that won’t disappear.
Pfleger’s crusades against guns, prostitution, porn and tobacco have made good copy for years for a fairly admiring local press corps hooked on cheering for the underdog, the poor and the powerless.
Pfleger is the subject of a documentary being made by Chicago-based David Axelrod, Obama’s top strategist. On Friday, Axelrod told me in an e-mail that the film project has “been dormant for much of the last two years due to other commitments.”
Are you shitting me? Do you know how much more effort this association will require to be suppressed by Big Media? When your campaign’s chief strategist is interested in validating the psychotic rants of a disgusting hater like Pfleger, it says something about what you and him and your whole crew think of America: it says you hate this country and wish to make it over into something else.
For-profit news dissemination is a kind of abomination.
