LA Times Columnist Weighs in on Extremist Violence in America
Los Angeles Times columnist Tim Rutten offers his perspective on the delusions and paranoia that seem to be taking hold among some extremist, anti-government types—so-called lone wolves with guns.
Alan Colmes of Fox News Radio recently interviewed Wiley Drake, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, CA. Drake was Alan Keyes' running mate.
Drake: "Imprecatory prayer is agreeing with God, and if people don’t like that, they need to talk to God. God said it, I didn’t. I was just agreeing with God.”
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, 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.”
"You would like for the president of the United States to die?”
“If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around, I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause him death, that’s correct.”
Some dunce out there may well take that to heart. It's incitement. The FBI should pick him up for questioning.
