Talking to Alan Colmes, Pastor Drake of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif admits that he is praying for Obama's death.

"Don't blame me, blame God" - Pastor Drake

[Triana]

1. The American Taliban. n/t

[dotymed]

9. EXACTLY

There is no difference between this fool and the Taliban. Well
most "terrorists" have good reason to want America
punished for what they have done to their families and
countries. I can't really put the Taliban in with those
"terrorists" though. The Taliban are
"religious"(not) zealots just like this fool on the
radio. How insane can you be, to pray for the death of others?
Religion? B.S. What they say directly contradicts the very
premise of their religion.

2. So, is that a threat

against the President?

[aquart]

6. Yes.

Veiled, but yes.

[vaberella]

20. How is it veiled? He said he wants the President of the US to die.

That ain't veiled.

3. Send Drake to Gitmo after the Secret Service is done with him.

[mecherosegarden]

4. For heaven's sake...

there is a lot of crazy people out there.


:scared:

[aquart]

5. Dear God. Pastor Drake wants an appointment to see you.

Is there any way to expedite?

[Hugabear]

7. So he basically wants everyone who doesn't agree with him to die

That's what I gathered from what he was saying.

8. To contact the Secret Service: call the FBI and report this nut. THEN take away the tax

exempt status for the 'good' reverends' church!
Threatening the President is not covered 'free speech'

[bloomington-lib]

10. I've never understood the logic in praying for stuff like this

If God is all-mighty and all knowing why does he need some guy asking for it? Is god like a jeanie who can only commit acts if someone wish's it? This guys has to know if his God, the God who has a hand in everything, didn't like Obama, he could have taken care of it a long time ago.

17. He's probably counting on being covered by religious freedom.

It's cagey on his part because America "respects religion" to an exceedingly high degree. You can get away with many things in the name of religion, that would land you in jail otherwise.

24. Hint: he's not praying in private

When you very publicly pray for someone to die, you're hoping that an armed Christian nutjob will take the hint and decide to "do God's work". It's a deniable way of booking a hit.

26. There's no logic to anything about religion.

Praying for people to die makes as much, or as little, sense as the rest of the hooey they believe in. And while you're speculating about this made-up "God" character of theirs, why does he need everyone to constantly praise and worship him? Could the omnipotent creator of the universe possibly be so insecure that his day is ruined if some puny human doesn't tell him how great he is every 10 seconds? Come on.

[Why Syzygy]

11. He needs to get a visit from the FBI. Right away. nt

[Lint Head]

12. I predict that one day Pastor Drake will die.

matthew 5:21-26
Jesus said that if you are angry at your brother(fellow believer) you already committed murder in your heart.

I guess Pastor Drake is going to Hell when he dies.

:dem:

[tomm2thumbs]

13. I don't believe prayer was meant to be vengeance - but what do I know? nt

[Tx4obama]

14. That Pastor should be arrested !!! n/t

[bkkyosemite]

15. He is judging others but he is going to heaven..a**hole!

[Tx4obama]

16. It is beyond time

to pull tax-exemption status from all of the political spewing hate-mongering churches and put the pastors under surveillance.

[winyanstaz]

18. A Christian taliban terrorist if ever there was one.

[Seldona]

19. Reprehensible.

Who would Jesus assassinate? Just ask Pastor Drake!

:eyes:

[vaberella]

21. This man is going to cause the death of many. n/t

[libodem]

22. That is one church that needs to lose its tax exempt status!

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.....unless you can get some right-winger, who has no clue what that means, to provide vengeance.

[Tx4obama]

23. Has anyone sent this video to the FBI yet? nt

[cooolandrew]

25. Last time they prayed for rain at our convention and turned out GOP convention got floods. Karma,

karma. I think any deity would take extreme offense at wishing any of his creation death, what bible they are reading I really do not know weird.

[theFrankFactor]

27. American Taliban? You Bet Yer Ass!

"I've been a Baptist pastor for a long time, been in the pro-life fight, been face-to-face with Tiller, told him about Jesus, and I've seen many, many others tell him about Jesus over and over and over again," Drake said. "And I've seen horrific things that go on in those death abortuaries -- and that's what they are -- and so my initial response to those people, they said, 'Well what was your response,' and I said, 'Well, in all honesty I have to just respond directly and say I am glad that he's dead."

"...unless Obama repents", he is praying that God will kill the president. Drake said he believes that is what happened to slain abortion provider George Tiller, who was shot to death while attending church in Wichita, Kan., on Sunday, May 31.
