Pastor Of Gun-Toter At Obama Event Prayed For Obama To Die
Justin Elliott | August 27, 2009, 3:14PM

Chris Broughton, the man who brought an assault rifle and a handgun to the Obama event in Arizona last week, attended a fiery anti-Obama sermon the day before the event, in which Pastor Steven Anderson said he was going to "pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell", Anderson confirmed to TPMmuckraker today.

Anderson also said Broughton had informed the pastor about his planned show of arms-bearing, but "he planned out the AR15 thing long before he heard that sermon," delivered Sunday August 16 at the fundamentalist Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, AZ.

This is the second example of the gun-toters at the Arizona Obama event tied to the violent fringes of American life.

"I don't obey Barack Obama. And I'd like Barack Obama to melt like a snail tonight," Anderson said in the sermon.

1. Now do you all understand why we allow indefinite detention of terrorist suspects?!

I think we all agree that this fanatic (the preacher) is very dangerous. Yet it might not be a slam dunk as to what exactly he could be charged with. Hence, indefinite detention may be necessary for terrorists like this radical white Christian cleric.

19. You want to put somone in harsh confinement without a trial indefinitely

indefinitely because of a prayer? I don't care how evil it was, it was a prayer. I am not ready to shred the Constitution over it.

[B3Nut]

25. Amen to that. If we have to act like Nazis to save our asses

then our asses aren't worth saving. I absolutely despise what this preacher said, and think he is a reprehensible, miserable, wretched excuse for a human being. Yet I am NOT comfortable advocating disregard for Constitutional protections and due process. There was no excuse for Der Chimpenfuehrer pulling this garbage, and there is no excuse for us trying to pull it either.

2. This is how the pastor would treat Jesus too...

You know, that brown guy, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the one who tried to teach us that however we treat out brothers is how we treat him.

He'll get his. Karmic retribution may be slower than we'd like, but it comes around in the end. And the beauty is we don't have to pray for it.

3. Well you know, as long as they aren't embarrassed

about who their President is, anything else they have to say is a-ok.

:crazy:

:argh:

4. my prayer for s anderson to die must have canelled out his

fucking prayer!!

[mrbarber]

5. "Melt like a snail tonight"?

What a shitty analogy.

[Downwinder]

6. His lines of communication are obviously impaired. n/t

[Monk06]

7. Your title is incorrect. This psycho prayed that Obama be aborted and that his

his teeth be smashed and that God would make
him melt like a snail

Since Anderson considers abortion to be murder
he means that he's praying for Obama to be
MURDERED

To repeat: He's not praying for Obama to be
judged in the next life but murdered here and
now in this one.

9. hey boughton: come to oakland, bring your gun

and talk that shit to some brothers i know.

[jaysunb]

10. Perfect " Manchurian Candidate"

Set up one deluded brother to kill another....

I've wanted to know lots more about this asswipe every since I saw his black ass. :evilfrown:

LA is a lot closer than the Bay....I'd pay good money to have a "close up" chat w/ this motha fucka.

:hi:

[MadMaddie]

14. jaysunb I hear ya!

This is just another guy with some inferiority complex who feels empowered. Another Steele.......

This guy wouldn't have the guts to go nose to nose with you or anyone else without his big weapon. These are the ones we have to watch out for.

[jaysunb]

16. I'd love for him to show up around here strapped.

I wouldn't need to do anything other than call 911 and say there's some black dude with a gun.

End of story. :evilgrin:

[MadMaddie]

17. ha..ha.. that would work!

[noiretextatique]

26. LA is good too

:hi: i'd pay to see your chat with him :7

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

11. Hate crime. nt

[Demeter]

12. One Has to Wonder What Obama Ever Did to this Moron

Did Obama let the US get bombed by truck bomb, or car bomb, or airplane bomb?

Did Obama destroy the economy and kill off most small businesses and several larger ones?

Did Obama take away his retirement funds through lax oversight of the financial industry?

Did Obama let a pandemic spread freely throughout the country?

Did Obama de-fund the safety net?

(Now granted, it's early days, and the way Obama is handling the economy is bad, but really!)

Obama's very existence and elevation to high office is not sufficient reason to wish him dead.

Pardon, your racism is showing!

15. Meet the church and pastor

Pastor Steven seems to have been involved in a tussle with the border patrol...http://sanderson1611.blogspot.com/2009/08/court-documents-in-pdf-format.html

18. Who ever said religion is good for mental health!

[No Elephants]

20. That pastor's only religion is neoconism.

[groundloop]

22. Neoconism - EXACTLY Right

That "pastor" needs to do a little bible reading. It's embarassing to hear radical fools like that claim that they follow the teachings of Jesus.

[No Elephants]

21. WWTSSD? What would the Secret Service do? Sounds like a threat to me.

[Crowman1979]

23. Beneath all that fire and brimstone is a bottom who's a nympho that likes meth.

I wouldn't be surprised if the gun-totin Uncle Tom at the Obama Phoenix rally is his top.

[bigworld]

27. I had the same basic thought

weird, eh?

[BlueDemKev]

24. What a Sick Man

That is one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard in my life. And this man as a pastor is supposed to be a "Man of God"???

Putting aside his absurd and skewed interpretation of the Bible, this psycho should be under investigation right now by the FBI for implicitly threatening the President of the United States.
