The Rev. Pfleger, while speaking to a crown at a rally designed to shut down a lawful firearms business, said "We're going to snuff out John Riggio" [the store's owner]. He was later justly rebuked by his Bishop for this inciting hate speech. Calling on a crowd to kill someone violates both the law of God and of the state. To this date Rev. Pfleger has not apologized to the store's owner for his call to kill him.

Not anywhere near the same, but the situation reminded me of this: Cynical reporter walks up to young black kid supporting Obama and tries to embarrass him by exposing his assumed ignorance. Needless to say, he gets served

Wow! What a powerful message. I actually had to feel a little sorry for the interviewer, he was totaly out of his depth and over his head.

When I listen to Pfleger, I just think, that's what preaching the Gospel is. It's good news that changes things - often in ways that are not hospitable to what makes people warm and fuzzy.

That video was great. That reporter sounded so ignorant and amateur. It's amazing his boss is still on TV.

I'm not sure I would waste words, usually a WTF eyebrow is enough.

I know. I am not the good politico like that. I would probably have told the guy, "What do you want me to say. Just tell me so I can give your gluttons for lies and misconstruals a tidy sound-byte for the rest of your stupid audience to feed on this week because they can't think for themselves." Then I would tell him to suck it.

Good for him to stand up to such an annoying questioner. I'm probably a lesser man because I wouldn't bother to converse with someone who chooses to communicate in such a disrespectful manner.

Wow, great job Fr. Pfleger! St Sabina's website is pretty powerful too. I felt like I was listening to an argumentative child rather than a journalist. He almost made Gerry Springer sound like a bonafide journalist.
