The Socialist Party candidate for President of the U.S., Norman Thomas, said
this in a 1944 speech:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the
name of "liberalism, " they will adopt every fragment of the socialist
program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing
how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a
Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has
adopted our platform."

A lad who was obsessed with a coming race war, and who carved a swastika into his forehead during his trial probably isn't a lefty. Sorry.

Thinly-Veiled Christian Obama Death Threats Take Off


Apparently, the latest thing in "Debasing The Institutions You Pretend To Hold Dear In Order To Suggest That President Barack Obama Should Be Murdered Without Actually Coming Right Out And Saying So" goes by a shorter name: Psalm 109:8.

And Psalm 109:8 is just straight up memetastic, appearing on bumper stickers and T-shirts, all of which carry the benign sounding message, "Pray For Obama. "But, as Gawker's John Cook points out, this is just one more in a "long line of cheekily coded Obama death threats."

The verse in question reads: "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership."

That leads fairly naturally into the Psalm 109:9, "May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow." You know, in case you miss the point.

Rachel Maddow took up this issue last night, inviting Patience With God author and Huffington Post blogger Frank Schaeffer to explain whether or not the citation of this Biblical text "means something less threatening to people hearing this in a Biblical context."

What we're looking at right now is two things going on. We see the evangelical groups I talked about in my new book, Patience With God, enthralled by an apocalyptic vision that I go into in some detail there. They represent the millions of people who have turned the Left Behind series into best sellers.

Most of them are not crazy, they're just deluded. But there is a crazy fringe to whom all these little messages that have been pouring out of Fox News, now on a bumper sticker, talking about doing away with Obama, asking God to kill him. Really, this is trolling for assassins. This is serious business.

How the hell does it naturally lead into the next verse if the next verse was not quoted. If the shirts say Psalms 109:8, 109:9 and so on then yea it would be including those verses too. But quoting 109:8 does not mean someone is quoting the verse before or after or the one 3 pages over. It means they are quoting the verse quoted. People quote john 3:16 all the time on things and 3:16 is the only verse they mean to discuss. I think the guy has put meaning where there was none.

Because as I suggested before, do a search on psalm 109/Obama and see what kind of nutcase nonsense you will pull up.

I posted one earlier in the thread.

Here is the flip side, rule. a religious site denouncing the use of this prayer.

http://blog.beliefnet.com/progressiverevival/2009/11/psalm-1098--a-prayer-for-obama.html

Psalm 109 belongs to a special category of the psalms known as "imprecatory" prayers--it is a lament in the form of petition to destroy one's enemies. It is the personal prayer of an individual, someone who has been dealt an injustice by another--and usually more powerful--person. The words of Psalm 109 are those of deep agony, the longings of a victim for retribution and justice. This psalm is considered one of the most difficult of all the psalms--full of violent images of vengeance and death. Many a biblical critic has struggled with its words--and not a few--including Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant theologians--recommend that it not be used in public worship, much less as a bumper-sticker political slogan
