Former evangelist: Religious right is ‘trawling for assassins’ | Raw Story
""The situation that I find genuinely frightening right now," Schaeffer explained, "is that you have a ramping up of biblical language ... and what it's coalescing into is branding Obama ... as 'not us.' ... Now he joins the ranks of the unjust kings of ancient Israel ... who should be slaughtered, if not by God then by just men." "Really, this is trawling for assassins," continued Schaeffer, "and this is serious business. It's un-American, it's unpatriotic, and it goes to show that the religious right, the Republican far right, have coalesced into a group that truly want American revolution. ... They cannot be dismissed as just crazies on the fringe. ... This bumper sticker simply says to them, 'It's open season.'"" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
"Appearing increasingly agitated, Schaeffer went on to say, "This is the American version of the Taliban. The Taliban quotes the Koran, and Al Qaeda quotes certain verses in the Koran, in or out of context, calling for jihad and bloody war and the curse of Allah on infidels. This is the Old Testament biblical equivalent of calling for holy war. ... And what surprises me is that responsible -- if you can put it that way -- Republican leadership, and the editors at some of these Christian magazines .... do not stand up in holy horror and denounce this."" - Steven Perez
The Bible verses in question are Psalm 109:8-9: "Let his days be few; let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow." In other words, it's Christian Taliban code meaning nothing other than "kill Obama". It's only a matter of time before they make like their Islamist counterparts and start committing terrorism. These fundies make me sick to my stomach. - Dennis Jernberg
