Kansas Republican Speaker Of The House Prays For Obama’s Children To Be Fatherless

    A deeply disturbing story out of Kansas. As the thread title says.. I was split where to put this, after hours, political cafe, Religion or here.

    How bad must things be that someone can openly say things like this?

    Can you imagine id this guy was a muslim representative? the crap would be hitting the fan left and right..

    should he be impeached?
    In what may be the most clear example of Republicans hoping for the assassination of President Obama, Kansas Speaker of the House Mike O’Neal sent an email to his Republican colleagues containing a shocking personal message with Bible verse Psalm 109 that he uses as a prayer for the assassination of President Obama.
    Here’s the email message”
    “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!
    
    Let his days be few; and let another take his office
    May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
    May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
    May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
    May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.”

    Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.

    Thankfully the power of prayer is nonsense.

    Hmmm… Seems like that bozo must have gotten his education from New Jersey union teachers.

    Here was their prayer regarding Chris Christie:
    "Dear Lord, this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."

    Maybe all 67,000 of them should have been fired also.

    some pretty poor whataboutery, there Amerika.

    Oh btw, after further reading, since you didnt bother with a citation, that unions email was ripping off the original of what you posted, which targeted Obama, oh and Nanci pelosi too.. :rolleyes:

    I thought it was pretty good whataboutery, RichieC.

    And I guess I can sorta see your point... we need to hold republican officials accountable for their actions, but we can't possibly expect to hold union teachers accountable for theirs. ;)

    Did you start a thread here about it when it happened?

    Now, try sticking to the topic at hand, if you can't do that why bother posting?

    thanks.

    I find it disgusting to read that this man wants to kill a democratic president by a way of prayer. One disaster in the US like 9/11 and the aftermath was clearly enough for my generation to be taking in.

    We don't want to live in situations were people just couldn't care less, it like what happened to JFK all over again.

    Simply, because he thinks that this man, Barack Obama, has something up his sleeve. All he is just trying to do, is to help the US get off his knees and the people out there are not giving him the chance to do it properly. Even though, The people of the US elected him to do just that in 2008 when he was elected.

    It is a really a problem for Mike O'Neal to sort out. But, it's not going to be sorted by killing him IMO.

    I just cannot see the reason why people want to kill Obama, even though it has happened before. I just couldn't live through at all.

    "Sourceless"?

    FS, did you or anyone request any sources? Or is one now required here to provide sources for everything noted?

    I gotta admit, mind reading is not one of my strong suits.

    american christians are a hilarious bunch , they can incorporate jesus into any of thier own ideals and policys , heard a rick santorum supporter on fox news last nite talking about the importance of jesus from a capitalst , low tax , pro business , small goverment point of view , you could just as easily have had a lobbyist for the adult film industry spouting about jesus for all the relevance it had

    newt gingrich was heard to say at one of the earlier debates , i made some mistakes in my life while i was speaker of the house and had to go and make things right with GOD


    the old addage man created god in his own immage , comes to mind

    Creepy.

    Also, there was a Zionist guy in yesterday's Atlanta paper suggesting that Obama should be taken out, if Israel wasn't protected enough.

    People like this are actually abusing freedom of speech, and should be sufficiently punished under law. I say that as someone who has very little time for the current President.

    I'm not a expert on each State's laws, but obviously both cases fall within incitement to hatred.

    Freedom of speech is not an absolute right; there are limitations placed on it in everyday circumstances. Both in the US and this jurisdiction the rights of the individual are placed paramount to generic freedoms. As pointed out, incitement to hatred is a common restriction.

    So they're just getting rid of the New Testament altogether then?

    Thank you. You are correct.

    I was in "US Mode" which is not to say anything too conflictual.

    Uhhhhm......hate speech? Incitement to riot? Incitement to violence? Slander? Libel?

    You can be banned from a football ground and prosecuted in the UK for racist chants. Are you going to claim freedom of speech in such a case?

    I have done work with the US in relation to Risk Management and HUMINT and they were OK at the start but over the last three years they have become so extreme and controlled by the Evangelical End Timers that I stopped dealing with them and changed my line of work. Some of them were as extreme as those they were claiming to protect the world against (AQ) they frightened me. I feel sorry for the majority of US citizens who are normal everyday people who just want to get on with life and get on with everyone else. They don't seem to have an international voice the same as the average Muslim gets drowned out by the Jihadists. The media only like to cover extremists of all religions not the normal Joe's which is a shame.

    It's nothing new. I was working in New York in the 90's and one day in 1995 news came into the office that a huge bomb had gone off in Oklahoma killing nearly 200. This ignorant white bitch immediately started squawking about those "Arab/Rag-head/Muslim scumbags" who should all "be nuked". I stared at her for a full 10 seconds before telling her that it was my theory that this atrocity was most likely committed by American neo-nazis. I was pretty much correct. You should have heard the venom she vented when OJ was acquitted. It was nauseating. And there were two lovely little black secretaries in the office with their heads down. It was cringe-worthy.
