Baptist Pastor Prays for President's Death

Early last year, I posted a brief item about Southern Baptist minister Wiley Drake and his call for “imprecatory prayers” against Americans United for Separation of Church and State. During the primary season, Drake issued—on his church’s letterhead—a written endorsement of Mike Huckabee. AU filed a complaint with the IRS. In response, Drake asked supporters for prayers “aimed at smiting AU and its leadership.”

Well, Pastor Drake is at it again. He recently appeared on Alan Colmes’ radio show and claimed that the murder of Dr. George Tiller was an answered prayer. But he didn’t stop there. From ABP:

Asked if there are others for whom Drake is praying “imprecatory prayer,” Drake hesitated before answering that there are several. “The usurper that is in the White House is one, B. Hussein Obama,” he said.

Later in the interview, Colmes returned to Drake’s answer to make sure he heard him right.

“Are you praying for his death?” Colmes asked.

“Yes,” Drake replied.

“So you’re praying for the death of the president of the United States?”

“Yes.”

Sick. I don't know what else to say.

h/t to AU.
