WASHINGTON–After first decling to comment on the fiery rhetoric of Father Michael Pfleger mocking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, on Thursday night the Clinton campaign said Sen. Barack Obama’s saying he was “disappointed” in Pfleger did not go far enough.
From Clinton spokesman Phil Singer:
“Divisive and hateful language like that is totally counterproductive in our efforts to bring our party together and have no place at the pulpit or in our politics. We are disappointed that Senator Obama didn’t specifically reject Father’s Pflegler’s dispicable comments about Senator Clinton, and assume he will do so.”
