Obama's Good Friend Father Pfleger: I'll keep flying U.S. flag upside down

The Chicago Tribune reports on Obama good friend and campaign contributor Father Pfleger:
The Rev. Michael Pfleger says someone tore down an American flag he was flying upside down outside his church to protest violence.

But the activist priest quickly replaced it this afternoon -- and vowed to keep doing so if people continue taking down the flags.

"There's more attention being given to the flag than to children dying," Pfleger said. "What do we care about children dying?"

Pfleger said he decided to fly the flag upside down outside St. Sabina Church on the South Side as a "distress signal" to raise awareness of how many children are being killed by gun violence.
