It scares the hell out of me. The “Christian” Right has embraced Psalm 109:8 with regard to our president, Barack Obama. In case you’re wondering, Psalm 109:8 declares:

May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.”

Okay, that’s Verse 8. Hold on for Verse 9:

May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.”

Check out the above video from last night’s The Rachel Maddow Show; the bit about Psalm 109:8 comes up about a third of the way in. Rachel interviews Frank Schaeffer, author of Patience With God and a former leader of the Religious Right. He’s had it with the “journalists” who painted our president first as the Antichrist and now as an unjust ruler God must take down.

And pray for the safety of our president and his family.
