Fundies praying for McCain's "speedy death."
http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/9/3/11483/34706

Antiabortion militant and all-round theocratic activist Jay Rogers of Florida, whose blog is called The Forerunner, writes:

Pray for John McCain's salvation and speedy death. (Google The Forerunner's articles on Imprecatory Prayer if you think this is harsh.)


And then there is this guy, a self-described Christian Reconstructionist whose blog handle is Ixion, and is apparently from Tennessee:

McCain's VP choice, Sarah Palin, suddenly made me want to vote for him, as long as the LORD smites him while he's in office. She's consistently conservative on all the issues, and if she's good enough for The Forerunner, she's good enough for me. The Forerunner agrees with me that McCain must be smitten, as well, so I'm obviously not alone in my viewpoints.


After a long response to a well-researched Daily Kos diary by Dogemperor, discussing Palin's religious history and raises some important concerns, Ixion comes back around to his main point.

May the LORD cause McCain/Palin to win the White House in 2008, and then smite the godless McCain in favor of Palin. Amen.


Know thy enemies. Anyone thing "The Forerunner" needs to have the Secret Service referred to them?

4. I wonder if any of these guys are thinking of becoming instruments of God
and helping him along in this "smiting" business.

6. I knew this--I posted on it last night. I said that McCain would be gotten rid of or marginalized
if he won the Presidency, somehow.

14. I hate McCain as much as the next.
But to openly pray for his death deserves a visit from the Ray-Ban brigade.

25. That's fucked up, yo.
Is this the bargain McCain thought he was making?

Maybe he better double up on the Secret Service detail. And tell half of them to watch the Moose Dresser.

26. I had a fundy send me a message EXACTLY saying this about a video I did
I made this video about Palin:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6j8YT4Jdxk

I got an email from some asshole saying that Palin was appointed by God and that McCain will die in order for her to become President and make abortion illegal immediately...

These. People. Are. Creepy.

28. They'll be doing more than praying..
if McCain/Palin win.

I've said it before: If Eric Rudolph was willing to murder abortion doctors to save a few hundred "babies", what do you think these nutjobs will do to save millions of "babies"?

33. Were they not paying attention when fundies were praying for rain in Denver?
That backfired big time. What if something happened that McCain had to drop out before Nov. 4th? Would they take credit for it?
