Bible verse deemed as threat on Obama's life
WND ^ | January 03, 2011 | Drew Zahn

according to an internal-affairs investigation reported by the Bradenton Herald. Psalms 109:8 reads, "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership." The co-worker, a sergeant who discovered the note, took offense when she learned the passage was not supportive of the president, fearing instead the prayer constituted a threat against Obama's life.

According to the investigation report, after she read the psalm, "she thought whoever left it wanted Obama dead, that the supporting verses underneath verse 8, [which were] highlighted, confirm that." The psalm goes on to read, "May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation."

Neu denied that he was threatening the president, telling investigators, "In hindsight maybe it was not the smart thing to do, you know, I should have been more careful where I left it, or whatever." Neu further told investigators that he had received "the Obama prayer" joke in an email and had passed it on, admitting, "he thought it was funny, even though maybe it was not in good taste."

According to the Herald, the internal-affairs investigation uncovered a history of political attitudes and pranks around the office. Another sergeant reported Neu had said negative things about Obama during the election,

So the Left can make movies about assasinating GWB but praying for thr President to be removed by God is a threat?

I thought Commielibs didn't believe in God anyway.

I don't pray the 109th Psalm. I pray the 58th and 59th Psalms.
It speaks of breaking the teeth--taking away the power--of the leadership. How the Lord does that is His prerogative. None of that is up to me.

NEGATIVE things? About 'The Obama'? Why, the man is clearly mentally ILL! We simply must place him in a psychiatric hospital where he can get the help he so desperately needs!

Had somebody made that sign at a Tea Party we would have nation-wide martial law in 20 minutes.

It is a wonder how The Bible speaks to our just desires and deep needs.

I bet that he will now find his name on a no-fly list.

Agreed. This is BS : There's a big difference between hoping someone dies or resigns, and actively intending to bring about that person's death. Sergeant Neu was punished for nothing more or less than ThoughtCrime!

I guess any reference to “casting out demons” would also be considered a threat.

As soon as Obozo has his Brown Shirts organized. He's trying to make contact with Ernst Rohm's grandson as you read this.

This is not even resembling a crime nor is it a violation of anything.

The Obamaloons are out of control and it's high time they are reined in...by our Constitution.

No, no, no.

That Bible verse just means we finally take the birth issue, the illegal foreign campaign cash issue, and the failure to be able to pass a simple government employment background test seriously.

THEN his days will be few. He'll be alive, yes indeed,... he just won't be pretending to be president anymore....

This verse is simply one example why people should actually make a study of all the various English translations of the Bible, as I was forced to do by the Jesuits. (It was a required freshman class at the Catholic College I attended) We had to look at both Catholic and Protestant versions of various verses. It is interesting to look at the original Latin (or Greek) words and see how they have changed over time.

Which is why I always laugh when I see the Psalms 109:8 bumper sticker. There is no Psalms 109:8 in the Latin Vulgate, the Douay-Rheims or the New Catholic versions of the Bible. In those, Psalms Chapter 109 ends with the 7th verse.

I think I will end now, too. Figuratively, if not literally.

Personally, I want to see ObaMao live even longer than Jimmy Carter just to constantly remind the country of the long-term consequences of putting an asshat in the oval office.
