Stay classy, teabaggers.

As a native of Tempe, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Arizonans for these douchebags. They are by far the exception rather than the rule. In fact I am particularly embarrassed that their church is in Tempe, which is a rather progressive city and very gay-friendly. Usually you only find this kind of nuttiness in places like Mesa or Glendale...

Wait. Their "church" is in a strip mall?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Maybe the minister is confused because if you're located between Radio Shack and the Karate school it's hard for God to find you and so you start talking crazy talk hate talk instead of actual Jesus beatitudes talk. You know like: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Instead we get some snail melting talk. Escargot for God? Is there a scene in the movie about Julia Child where a snail melts? Where did he get that bizarro brain injury imagery? LSD? Late stage of syphillis?

Nice location for that church.

I can go there and hear messages of hate, or I can scootch next door to Jhoon Rhee Martial Arts for a better message.

That message, of course, is that when you take Jhoon Rhee self-defense, then you, too, can say: "Nobody bothers me." (Nobody bothers me, either.)

OK, these wackjobs go around toting firearms outside a presidential appearance, and they openly wish death upon Obama.

Doesn't this mean the gun nuts have to STFU about Obama 'grabbing their guns' now? These assholes are still free to walk the streets after all.

I'm sorry, but I am not particularly reassured by the Secret Service response. "Appropriate follow up" could be no follow up at all.

Until a couple weeks ago, I operated under the assumption that Secret Service agents were above partisan considerations. And then I read James Bamford's review of Ronald Kessler's new book, in which agents apparently wax poetic about Reagan and bitch about how Clinton could never get anywhere on time.

Less than confidence-inspring in terms of thinking about how agents might be approaching their current obligations.

Since these people believe in God, and are asking God to take Obama down, could this not be considered incitement? How many among the 'flock' will take these 'prayers' as marching orders? It's unbelievable that such inflammatory talk is permitted, when you would be charged, for example, for uttering the word 'bomb' on an airplane.

The SS may be aware, but is the IRS?

No Christian Pastor wishes for violence toward a man, especially one who he considers "lost". It is time for those who understand the love of Christ to denounce this type of rhetoric done in the name of our God.

This is a pastor who preaches death, destruction and wishes for chaos to our nation--let there be no doubt who he really serves.

Every time we hear one of these spew threats with their "religious" crazy-speak -- we need to IRS their asses with a very meticulous Audit.

Because you just know they're deducting some crazy "expense" stuff - like ammo probably.

This paster does not know God, nor knows the ways of God. God is not some erand boy hitman attack dog. If he had known anything about God, he would know that that pray will never be answered. It won't be answered, because thet pray is not in the will of God. the scriptures clearly states "2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE." God's will is that no sinner perish, but that they turn from sin to God and be saved. this paster is praying his own will and God does not hear him. This paster needs to repent and stop being so self-righteous. this is what happens when a person becomes self-righteous, they mistake their own sinful will for the will of God. In addition the word of God tells us not to seek ocassion against a man who has not done anything wrong to us. Obama could not get in office unless he was a part of Gods plan for america. now if it is God's will, for bettter or for worse, that Obama is i office, we may not like it, but God commands us to be obedient to them and to respect them, because they were God's choice. Now when we pray aganst who God has chosen, the we pray against God, God's will and Gods ways. that puts us on the outs with God. and no real Christian that Knows the word of God would pray such a prayer. This pastor is to be a sheperd, and sheperds do not pray for the death of a sheep. This pastor is leading his people strait to hell and away from God, and he needs to be very careful, because the scriptures say the :the teachers will receive the greater damnation," if they teach God's pepole wrong. Jesu came and Died for President Obama just like he came to die for this pastor. Steven Anderson and Chris Broughton need to be very careful that the prayer that they pray is not answered by the devil, because the devil does the opposite of God. and if God pulls back whatever hedge of protection they have, Satan will havew a field day on them.. "be not decived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Now on a personal level, I think that it is a shame that this man is a pastor and does not know enough sscripture to understand that God does not answer these tpes of prayer. He bring the name of God to an open shame, by attributing God, and relegating God to the level of "hit man" how disen glorious, he takes glory from God in a big way, and makes other Christians look foolish and vengeful for no reason. Read this portion of scripture, does it sound familiar to this case? "Joh 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Joh 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Joh 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer (a killer) from the beginning, and abode not in the truth (The truth is God does not hear a prayer of murder, nor is God a murderer), because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it"
