Orders To Asassinate Obama.!!??
The following bible verses are being proudly worn on the hateful and racist chests, of many so called good christians under the caption that says:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Our Prayer For Obama.......Psalms 109:8-13"
+
They are printed in the thousands as large stickers slapped callously on bumpers of cars, on coffee mugs, and various other ways to distribute this message of venomous hate.
+
Here is the full, fool context of that verse.
+
Psalms 109: verses 8 through 13-
+
8. Let his days be few;
and let another take his office.
+
9. Let his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
+
10. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:
let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
+
11. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;
and let the strangers spoil his labor.
+
12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:
neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
+
13. May all his offspring die.
May his family name be blotted out in a single generation.
++++++++
What manner of wicked souls would wish such damnation on a fellow human being? Is this perhaps the mark of the beast, being worn by those who claim to know the teachings of Christ, but in reality are false prophets spewing twisted truths taken out of context from God's words.
+
What other title can I give to anyone who applies such a nasty fortune onto a man who is simply trying to run a very screwed up country. Beast is kind in comparison to how they view Obama.
++
Let his days be few. Let his wife be a widow.....is that not a threat against the commander-in-chief? An inflammatory message that just might encourage some religious zealot to arm himself and remove what he believes is a demon according to his bible?
++
Let his children be vagabonds and beg. Let them be fatherless!! Let all of his offspring die?? Do these good christian folks not remember the verse that says:
++
Matt. 18: 6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
++
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Judge not lest ye be judged. Where are all the moral majority now. Where are all the good Republicans who remain silent in the face of this outrageous slander. Have they been out-foxed by the hate mongers who claim to be fair and balanced, what on earth is fair and balanced about applying such a biblical quotation to our current leader.
+
Where are the secret service protectors to forcibly remove such threats from the very backs of those who call for Obama to die, for his children to die.
+
God sits in his heavens and weeps at the freewill of those who were once his children gone awry. Don't try to justify this selection of verses worn blatantly and foolishly on the backs of many so called believers. There is nothing redeeming in this interpretation of the scriptures.
+
These folks are the vomit-us of the devil himself, when they use God's words to threaten and disparage, and endanger any man.
+
How quickly they forget the second last verse of Revelations that states quite plainly the following curse upon them all: Revelations chapter 22; verses 18-19- 18:
+
For I testify unto every man who heareth the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. 19: And if any man shall take away from this book, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city.
+
I would suggest you burn your shirts and bumper stickers, for God is not mocked, lest you wind up burning in the lakes of eternal fire. God also says that there will be many churches who think of themselves as holy, but he will find them lukewarm and will spit them out of his mouth. Is it your temper that drives you to wear such filth on your backs and your cars, or is it your temperature which is not from the book of Luke, but lukewarm.
+
Perhaps you need to read (Luke 6: verses 24-38.) This has been my Bible study for this morning, I suggest that those of you who brand yourself with Bible verses twisted into hateful curses, study your Bible a wee bit more.
+
Please feel free to offer rebuttals from God's word that would allow you to threaten the life of another man, to cajole and encourage others to pray for the death of his offspring and his family in one generation.
Perhaps you should re-read Psalms 109: verse 7 which explains your hateful message to all of the world. Verse 7 says: 7.-When he shall be judged, let him be condemned, and let his prayer become sin. That my dear fundamentalists is God's judgement at the second coming and on judgement day, it is not your judgement against any fellow man.
+
Your call to prayer for an other's destruction is a sin, a grievous sin against God's commandments. You need to get your house right with the Lord, before you face the same judgement some day, that you are now wishing upon Obama.
+
How can you love your enemies when you are publicly calling for their demise. I keep remembering the T-shirt I saw on the back of a tea-bagger that said in big letters, "Shoot Michelle and her two stupid Kids." And the signs that call Obama the Antichrist.....perhaps they are simply mirrors reflecting the true members of the anti-christ church walking among us, spreading hate in the name of righteousness, refusing to render unto Caesar what is Caesars, and render unto God what is God's.
+
I will pray for all of those who wear the shirt that calls for prayers of destruction. I was taught to love my enemy and let God sort out the wheat from the chaff. I will not pray for your destruction but rather for your redemption from your hopefully temporary insanity in the eyes of God.
+
Peace to you and yours.........MFB III

I don't like Obama one bit, personally... But I do have to say, that this verse is being taken out of context by these folks, and they are not behaving like Biblical Christians. We are supposed to be gracious and forgiving. And, we are commanded to pray for our leaders.
EBay is still permitting listings for Pray for Obama Psalm 109:8 bumper stickers.
Ebay is still allowing listings for Pray for Obama Psalm 109: 8 bumper stickers.
Death threats to our leader veiled by religion. I reckon thats treason. Get rid of these people and get rid of religion. I reckon Obama is our best hope for a future American world hegemony where EVERYONE will be American citezens.
Im glad you brought this to my attention. I might have seen something about a prayer for Obama or something, but I would have thought they were well wishers. It would never even occur to me that people are that evil. Gee, this is beyond sick and sad. It bothers me to no end when people use the scriptures to promote their version of evil. These t-shirts and teddy bears seem so illegal that I don't even know how they are getting away with this. This is treason. If these t-shirts were made with George W's name instead of Obama, they would have all been hanged publicly by now.
This is so disturbing on so many levels. It seems like emotions are running amok lately. Nice post. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Wow. I cannot beleive the ammount of rage I feel when I hear things like this going on in our world. Our children are the future (ya, maybe it's corny to say that) and they are being taught that this behavior is ok? Even encouraging it by writings on teddy bears? Yes, maybe they will not understand what it means, but the people who give it to them do and they will grow up and realize the truth. I will pray for the souls who think it is ok to act in such a manner and treat our family this way...because afterall, we are all family here in God's great kingdom are we not? Thanx for writing this hub. I will do all I can to help put a stop to this cruel and inhumane behavior! Peace!
I noticed that. Good news. Ebay still hasn't responded to my request to remove the T-shirt from Ebay's site. Maybe they will yet.

Hey Ralph, E-Bay removed the ad for the Psalms 109:8-13
T-shirt from my site, It must have happened today. Whne I checked the poem it was Gone. Yay!!!
Ralph, I'm sure your beloved UCLA will differ with you.

Ralph, I will do likewise on the E-mailing E-bay and the Texas whacko store. Perhaps we can put the fear of God in these skewers of the bible, seeking to shorten Obamas legacy

hey poetlorraine, we're not all crazy, it's only a minority and a bunch of talking radioheads that stir them up like a hornets nest with fabrications. We would throw you a lovely bash, With some King Crab Legs, Filet Mignon, and of course a spot of tea without the baggers, and then have some creme brulee, for dessert. Then we would all sit around and read our best hub, or two, and enjoy each others fondest thoughts. Please R.S.V.P with three days notice. Ralph you get the spirits, Cornett mix up some appetizers, Ivan bring any food that isn't terrible, and Maybe jiberish will make a salad, hopefully not a watergate...lol ~~MFB III
glad i am not in America with all i read about that goes on there, wow
According to the EBay listing the seller of the T-shirts is located in Flower Mound, Texas which is north of the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.

I emailed Ebay and asked them to stop listing the T shirts.

Ahh, Ivan when one looks at history and all of the terrible things done in the name of God one has to shudder at such dangerous by-products of faith gone awry. I will be sending this to the many newspapers I write for, but it will barely scratch the surface. Meanwhile more are sold daily, like some McDammitall on steroids. Meanwhile the public sits and worries about a couple of social hacks getting into a White House party, while the underground insanity movements are getting into the minds of the crazed masses..... who want to get into the white house for far more negative reasons.~~MFB III
I'm not certain who is behind this but it is a very serious charge to call for the death of a president and his family. I am not even certain it would be Christians behind it. Some people just like to stir up hatred and make money while doing it. Because some of my family in the U.S. are Republicans, I can say that they do not like this and have told others what this means and why they shouldn't wear it or buy it. However, there are some crazies out there who might interpret this as a call for assassination. I hope not.
They are selling the T-shirts on Ebay. Somebody should object to Ebay selling them. And somebody should object to the Google ad for the T-shirts on this very HubPage, below!

Ralph I owe you, Cornett and Wilson some comments, which i will tend to soon. I have even graced Jiberish with a comment on one of her hubs, since she was kind enough to visit. I am actually astounded at the silence of the right wing on this issue, but I will attempt to broach it with limbaugh, and beck if I can ever get through the speed dailing fanatics..lol I like to get into their empty heads and leave a little grafitti. ~~~MFB III

Cafepress.com and sizzle.com, and God knows how many underground and church groups were wholesaling poison to the general public. There is no way to stop such treason
except to violate the constitution and the rights to free speech, but this message was like yelling fire in a theatre,
or some disparaging foul sterotypical name in a gay bar or in the ghetto after midnight. I like your idea of just physically handling it, but then we would all wind up in jail. intelligent people should simply explain to the morons wearing these that they are promoting the assasination of a president and that they will be reported to the Secret Service and the FBI in your next phone call.
lol...probably wouldn't phase them thought. How about spray cans of paint, perhaps black applied in a rapid fashion and then run...lol~~~MFB III
I don't care for Obama's policies but....even the slightest insinuation that he and his family should be harmed in any way...should be taken seriously and stopped immediately.
You're doing a great job. Keep it up.

It's a but like slinging hash, but instead of spatulas one postulates on thier side of the frying pan, and either winds up with something quite tasty to the reader, or in the fire..... I love how spatula is almost an anagram of postulate. I attend a few forums, ruffle a feather or two
and comment as much as time allows while meeting my deadline of getting 4,000 hubs on this site before Summer. I delight myself most in wordplay.....bending our language into humor, sarcasm, or just lovely snippets of thought. It is an addiction, that I get needled for often, but I do love the buzz, and the rush, and even the downers it sometimes brings me. LOL~~~MFB III
CafePress.com was selling the T-shirts, then stopped, then started up again and then apparently stopped. I think a boycott of cafepress.com would be in order. I wonder who or what looney organization came up with the idea and printed the T-shirts? I hope the Secret Service and FBI are on their trail.
I'm not sure how to 'sling' comments. You have to work Hub by going to forums, posting your new work in the Challenge forums, commenting on other hubs, It's still a mystery to me.

well jiberish we know that the kids may not, but anyone with half a brain can look it up in four seconds on the internet or in a bible, and find a little mind poison. The verse was wriiten for all men who grieve God and it states how he will judge them....not man. If anyone who is an adult is wearing that T-shirt in support of Obama, one of their friends played a trick on them or they need to go join some of the tea baggers who carry signs of hate, and claim it is simply patriotism....LOL~~~politic aside you do know how to sling some good comments, thanks for the input...~~MFB III
I do think the republican party needs to completely separate themselves form such radical idiocy and soon, it could be very damaging to thier hopes in 2010...and beyond.
MFB, I would be interested in knowing how many of those who wear that T-shirt actually know what that Psalm says. Maybe half of them are wearing it in support of Obama.

Potus....isn't the end problem....I've got so called good christian people wearing T-shirts and flouting bumper stickers in my hometown, the shirt ia being sold to the general public,on various websties daily, spreading this mesasage of hate and death to our leader. All under the tired old Fox rhetoric of free speech. But it is blatant in it's threats against our Commander-In-Chief. There are too many religious right wing muts that might just take these words to heart. Where does it end, with a holy bullet? If one distorts the word of God, whether he/she/or they, it is very clear that adding to or taking away parts of the Bible will get those who do so thier place in the lakes of fire. Using the Bible in a negative way, when it is the most positive book ever written for all, is blasphemy. I am glad that you Jiberish don't agree with the message, I would be worried for your soul. God help all the children who are getting this message on teddy bears for christmas. Yes, they are selling these skewed words on teddy bears that also say pray for Obamam- Psalms 109: 8-13. It seems to be getting out of hand when we start using God as a weapon, it's starting to reek of Al-Quida!! Sick, self righteous, hypocritical bible distorters and false prophets....and that's not my words that's from the last day prophecies in the scriptures. Thanks for your comments Leeds, Wilson and jiberish. You have somewhat restored a wee bit of my faith in this countries citizenry. If you three and anyone else whoreads this and agrees that this is deplorable, feel free to post it on your hub, to reach the maximum audience...you have my blessing. ~~~MFB III
I don't agree with this POTUS, and I don't agree with the T-shirts either.
I know what you mean Ralph. I might regret it but I bet the other person would regret it more....
But violence never solves anything.
Wow! That's terrible. I might be inclined to do something I'd regret if I ran into somebody wearing one of those T-shirts!
