Politics of Christian hate: 'Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8'

The politics of Christian hate is taking an ugly turn with the spread of T-shirts and bumper stickers proclaiming: "Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8". Praying for Obama sounds relatively harmless; however, this is no harmless slogan. The psalm reads, "Let his days be few; and let another take his office."

Alright, clearly those supporting the slogan are not Obama fans. They are not praying that Obama does a good job, they are praying Obama's days are few. They are praying for Obama's death. It gets even worse. The line that follows reads: "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow". This goes beyond political dissatisfaction; this is a prayer for the death of our President.
