David Axelrod and Mayor Daley Help Promote Fr. Michael Pfleger

The Chicago Daily Observer reports:

David Axelrod is on the Board of Fr. Pfleger’s fundraising organization “Raising the Roof” at St. Sabina’s parish. Fr. Pfleger is on the Board of David Axelrod’s organization attempting to appropriate Chicago Park District property for a private charity. Fr. Pfleger is on a Chicago Police recruitment board, reporting to Mayor Daley concerning hiring and firing issues. Mayor Daley is a proponent of moving the Children’s Museum to Grant Park.

These are neither coincidental nor insignificant relationships. Fr. Pfleger relies on the support of the Chicago political establishment to build credibility with his media audience. In return Fr. Pfleger offers a ready made sympathetic “activist” for various Left Wing authoritarian causes such as protecting shoppers from low prices at Wal-Mart as dictated by Sen. Obama.

After Fr. Pfleger’s deranged buffoonery pandering to a receptive audience at Trinity United Church of Christ was exposed to a national audience, and a brief suspension from the Archdiocese of Chicago, there was a chance that Fr. Pfleger would move towards a clerical rather than political calling. That has not happened, rather Fr. Pfleger continues to command media and political homage despite his spiteful ravings.

Speculation has it that political influence was involved in maintaining Fr. Pfleger at St. Sabina’s and continue the Democratic Party access to a solid block of tax supported activists who purportedly are parishoners at St. Sabina’s.

The Chicago Way.
