Obama's minister of claptrap
by Bryce Martin

Criticizing the good reverend (ahem) Pfleger in a context that makes his skit involving a putdown of Hillary Clinton the point of emphasis is missing the point. His main indiscretion in that little stage show was his pandering to the black congregation. Look up the word claptrap in the encyclopedia and you will now see a picture of Pfleger.

Just look at the robed black chorus behind Pfleger as they become more animated the closer Pfleger gets to the transparent punchline you know is coming.

Another thing more galling than his easy Hillary joke is the fact he is obviously homosexual. Galling, because he is what denomination?
