Assassination Agenda: Pastor Wants Obama to Die Like Ted Kennedy, Now! The "Civil" Debate Continues...

With God on my side...

The cool but passionate intellectual debate Republicans are demanding on health care and cap and trade is a little different than the one most Democrats would envision. Consider the following bible thumping conservative out of Phoenix, Arizona, compliments of MyFoxPhoenix.com:

The sermons at Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona are stirring controversy and for some, causing alarm. Pastor Steven Anderson says he's a man of God, but some are horrified at what he's preaching. Anderson is standing by his controversial sermon, entitled "Why I Hate Barack Obama."

Anderson is continuing to encourage his parishioners to pray
for the president's death, but says he doesn't condone killing. "I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today. I will not take the law into my own hands. I will not take up any arms. It's a spiritual battle, spiritual warfare."

In the conservative mindset of having God on their side, and fighting God's war against the liberal/gay agenda, God's army of gun toting believers make up what some might consider "the civil debate" of the issues.

Many parishioners walked into the church carrying guns
on their hips. One of them was Christopher Broughton, who got national attention when he brought an AR-15 assault rifle to an Aug. 17 rally outside the Phoenix Convention Center where President Obama was addressing veterans.

We asked him if he wanted to clarify what the impact of Pastor Anderson's sermon was on his decision to bring a gun to the rally, but he had no response. (In another statement) Brighton says he carried the weapon because of his long-standing dislike for Obama. Anderson says his sermon about wanting Obama
to die was not meant to rile people up. "If anything, I was talking him (Broughton) down," he said, "Not riling him up."

Pastor Anderson says, "Look up the word hate. Look up the word abhor, the word loathe. You'll see there are a lot of people that God hates, and so we should hate. But see, I didn't write that, that's in the Bible."

This is the same pastor who told FOX 10 that Border Patrol and DPS officers Tased him in March. Video of that incident was posted -- and officers said Anderson refused to cooperate.

Now, he's under scrutiny for his own words, "I hate Barack Obama… I hate the person... I hate him!"

And so the civil "debate" of the issues continues....
