Psalm 109:8 And The Unhinged Criticism From The Right

Psalm 109:8 is the new anti-Obama meme making the wacko Christian Right rounds.
"Let his days be few; and let another take his office"
So they mockingly say pray for Obama. I'm sure they also love the next verse, too:
"Let his his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow"
The usual Old Testament vitriol. Nothing from the New Testament these Christians can find from Jesus' ministry on love?

Chilling when you think how much the unhinged criticism from the Right is based on, not just opposing Democrats, but to kill the President. The Beck's and O'Reilly's love trolling the Conservative underworld, stirring up the rhetoric, calling for revolutions and assassins.

Former Evangelical Frank Schaeffer discusses on Rachel Maddow how threatening this Biblical language, the comparisons to unjust Kings of Ancient Israel, is in context to actually bringing harm to Obama. A great segment.
