MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is concerned that President Obama's trip abroad
has served to bring out "the unhinged among the president's critics."

Not only have the Wall Street Journal and the hosts of Fox News been
issuing their usual dark mutterings, but a new slogan has began
appearing on bumper stickers, tshirts, and even teddy bears: "Pray for
Obama: Psalm 109:8."

That psalm reads, “Let his days be few; and let another take his
office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow."

Maddow seemed mainly amused by the teddy bears, but when she turned
for comment to former right-wing evangelical leader Frank Schaeffer,
he emphasized that in a religious context "it means something more
threatening."

"The situation that I find genuinely frightening right now," Schaeffer
explained, "is that you have a ramping up of biblical language ... and
what it's coalescing into is branding Obama ... as 'not us.' ... Now
he joins the ranks of the unjust kings of ancient Israel ... who
should be slaughtered, if not by God then by just men."

"Really, this is trawling for assassins," continued Schaeffer, "and
this is serious business. It's un-American, it's unpatriotic, and it
goes to show that the religious right, the Republican far right, have
coalesced into a group that truly want American revolution. ... They
cannot be dismissed as just crazies on the fringe. ... This bumper
sticker simply says to them, 'It's open season.'"

Appearing increasingly agitated, Schaeffer went on to say, "This is
the American version of the Taliban. The Taliban quotes the Koran, and
Al Qaeda quotes certain verses in the Koran, in or out of context,
calling for jihad and bloody war and the curse of Allah on infidels.
This is the Old Testament biblical equivalent of calling for holy war.
... And what surprises me is that responsible -- if you can put it
that way -- Republican leadership, and the editors at some of these
Christian magazines .... do not stand up in holy horror and denounce
this."

"I would just say to them, 'Where the hell are you?'" Schaeffer
concluded. "'This is not funny any more, and be it on your head if
something happens to our president.' ... There are not many steps left
on this insane path."

These are the same assholes who come to rec.boats as sock puppets and
change their names like little children who have to be heard.

Sick loons.

It is late and I am bored so I actually read this inane post of jps.
I have never seen such a bumper sticker and If I had I'd be thinking
"Huh?" Not being a bible thumper, idda have never guessed. I s'pose
jps musta been one o' them religious nutsos but gave it up fer
b'leving in "The One".
If'n Bozoma gits hisself kilt, I spect it'll be a lefty who does it.
The rest of us are settin back watching the Demotard craziness goin
faster an' faster knowing "This don't have a happy ending" and knowing
we really don't have to do anything except protect ourselves when they
self destruct.
I am still betting that by the end of January 2010, some Dem
congresscritter will call for Bozoma's impeachment for criminal
incompetence. So, we don't have to do nothin't'all, just set back and
enjoy the show. Want some popcorn?

No thanks, I just had dinner. I see you're off in sci-fi world again.

Here's Herring's post...

Subject: Psalm 109.8 A prayer for 'Bama

Body: Please say it often.

Question: What kind of man wishes our President to be murdered so
someone else takes his office, his kids fatherless and his wife a
widow?

Is it something you'd pray for?
