Florida Pastor Terry Jones — whose Koran-burning activities have gained worldwide attention — is in the news again, this time for hanging President Barack Obama in effigy in front of his church.

A photo posted on The Smoking Gun shows a dummy with Obama‘s likeness hanging from a yellow noose outside Jones’ Dove World Outreach Center. The scene also features an American flag, a rainbow-striped gay pride flag, an Uncle Sam dummy and a child‘s doll in the Obama figure’s hand. The words “Obama is Killing America” are posted on a trailer nearby.
A photo posted on the Broward-Palm Beach New Times‘ website shows a different set-up, this one with Uncle Sam hanging from the noose and the Obama dummy standing by.
According to the New Times, a church spokeswoman confirmed the effigy is real.

“We have chosen to hang President Obama as a symbol of what America needs to do. We must remove him, we must vote him out of office,” Jones said in a video statement.
A Secret Service spokesman told the newspaper the agency is investigating the situation.
Jones told the Huffington Post the pride flag was meant to call attention to Obama’s pro-same-sex marriage stance, and said the doll is because Obama is “favorable toward abortion.”
He said the original display was meant to show Obama hanging Uncle Sam, but that it was changed Wednesday so Obama himself was hanging.

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 7:31pmHere is one thing though; this is being used to deliver a message of hate and murder against another human being (even if he is Obama), and is on the same grounds as the allegations and efforts of the radicals of the left in the Zimmerman case. Evil for the sake of evil begets nothing more than evil; to allow such to be done ‘in the name of justice’ is not justice, it is just evil to the core.
What should be done is to keep calling and pressing for Obamas impeachment; and after he is out of office either by such means or with a new POTUS in the new year, keep pushing for his crimes to be dealt with before the court of law.

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 2:41pmRidiculously un-Christlike. Obama is horrible for this country. He needs to be fired. (Frankly, impeachment would be nice but there is no specific provision for being impeached based simply upon being a pathological arrogant, lying narcissist …not that I have an opinion). However , this pastor’s behavior is in no supportable way, representative of what Jesus Christ commands us to do. I pray Barack Obama is convicted in his spirit, repents of his sins and comes to a saving relationship with God through Jesus. I pray the exact same thing for this pastor. If “by their fruit you will know them” then this guy really needs it.

…..but if those things are done in a non-violent way – well, that’s o.k.?
Obama is non-violently plotting the overthrow of the government. Obama is advocating the overthrow of the government. Obama is threatening future presidents by usurping the Constitution and turning executive orders that make end-runs around Congress.
All of this is (so far) being done in a non-violent way. It doesn’t make Obama any less seditious or treasonous.

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 5:14pm@Tsunami, And how, exactly, be very specific, is the President overthrowing the government? Please give me real, verifiable examples. I don‘t want Fox talking points or Beck’s chalkboard nonesense conspiracies, I want REAL proof that the President is working against the country. The President was elected by 53% of a 70% voter turnout. He was born in the United States which makes him a citizen by Jus Soli, his mother was an American citizen, which makes him an American citizen by Jus Sanguinis. Most of his policies have been Bush carryovers. The money he “added” to the deficit was adding Bush’s unfunded and under-the-table costs of the two wars he dragged us into. Show me with real quotes, not cherry-picked, misread crap where the President has advocated overthrowing the government. You hate, I get it, you don’t want him to be President, I get that, too. But there is nothing he has done that is worse than any of his predecessors, and yet, everything he says or doesn’t say, everything he does or doesn’t do is proof to people like you that he is anti-American, or unpatriotic, or Muslim, or Nazi, or Communist or some other drivel that HE IS NOT. And no, I don‘t think he’s the Messiah, I’m Catholic, that means Jesus is the Messiah. And no, I don‘t think everything he’s done is wonderful. I’m a Liberal, Barack Obama is a Moderate, I wish he’d been a Liberal, but we haven’t had one of those in office since LBJ.

Exactly what is it in Terry Jones’ display that advances the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Terry Jones claims to be a Pastor for Christ and the building that this display is in front of claims to house a Church/House of Worship for Jesus Christ. How do you reconcile the disparity in the images of a murderous lynching and the Gospel of peace?
Terry Jones in his Koran burning, and now in this display has consistently shown his reliance on the world’s imagery and tactics over faith in the righteousness of God. To those who are of the world, it is easy to applaud the images of the lawless world that Terry Jones is advocating. To those who are of the word, it isn‘t hard to see the fruit of the lawless one at work in Jones’ actions. By their fruit you shall know them, so where is the fruit of the Gospel in the aftermath of this display?
In order to be of the WORD you only have to get the “L” out of the WORLD.

Come on, you are a better person than this.
Pastor Jones is courageous? For what, hanging the President in effigy? Then Rev Wallace is courageous for standing with OWS, and Rev. Wright is courageous for speaking out against Busch for 911, and Rev. Sharpton is courageous for standing against the Duke La Crosse players, and …etc.etc. A Pastor standing for lawlessness in a lawless world is nothing new or courageous.
A Pastor’s courage should only be measured by their stance in support of the cause of Christ.
God’s word teaches that believers show courage by standing firm in the gospel;
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you–unless you believed in vain.
Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

I think that somewhere in that thing called the Bible it refers to Homosexuality being an abomination and that abortion is really just murder. I also believe that one of the Ten Commandments says something about having no other God’s before him (referring to the Muhammad picture).

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 4:37pmMany people are following the made in America false Jesus.
My Jesus had to be passive in some ways to lay His life down for us. But make no mistake He is a LION and a LAMB. Not just a LAMB.
He was a strong man-Fully God and fully man and I assure you He was NOT a wimp. He was homeless in a rough environment. He fought the devil and didn’t need to use violence-because the word of God was His sword. He used His brain to confound the fools of His day. He knows we are ALL eternal.
“Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. “(Matthew 10:34-38)
He said put God first, even before your own children and money.
Remember when the man wanted to follow Jesus and he said first he had to go bury his dad and Jesus said “let the dead bury their dead, you proclaim the Kingdom of God” Luke 9:60
Sigh…Jesus didn’t sound very “nice”…

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 2:02pmIf Barack was born in Kenya, he would have been born a Citizen if his mom Stanley had resided in the US for a given time after her age of majority. But she did not meet this time requirement because she got knocked up by that polygamist African guy so young. Therefore, if Barack really was born in Kenya, his current legal status is that of an illegal alien.
Boy oh boy, no potential for black mail in this scenario! Golly Gee, do you think Goldman Sachs has access to the records of Columbia University?
Well, anyway, the good news for Barack is that illegal aliens cannot commit treason due to the fact that they are not Citizens. The bad news for Barack is that the laws and executive orders he allegedly illegally signed into the record allow for foreign bad guys (and even domestic ones) to be summarily executed on the order of the State.
So I see this display by Pastor Jones as not a political display but as a legal word problem / practical exercise designed to foster discussion, greater understanding, and love.

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 1:57pmI think this is a perfect response to the unchecked recent Black Panther commentary. The blacks have their nut jobs, and obviously so do the whites.
Racism cultivates votes for “oh so sympathetic” democratic party. Keep giving blacks excuses to not succeed (aka the white man keeping them down) and they will continue to vote for those that provide the most in social programs. You factor in that it is now a black man providing these on a record scale, you’ve got some seriously delusional “brotherly love”.
Did you know the welfare fund doubled since 2008? Obama wants this, he needs these votes and this is how he got/gets them.

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 2:16pmAfter ten official US investigations (including five Congressional investigations), there was never any evidence that the attack was made with knowledge that the target was a US ship. There is substantial evidence the attack was a tragic mistake caused by blunders of both the US and Israel. Eight US Presidents, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (elder), Clinton, and Bush (younger), have each accepted the conclusion that the attack was a tragic case of mistaken identity.
Nevertheless, Alex Jones conspiracy theorists (Israel/Israeli loathing Ron Paul acolytes) continue to claim the Israelis knowingly attacked a US ship. By some estimates, there are more conspiracy theories about the Liberty incident than about the assassination of John F. Kennedy…

If Israel knowingly attacked and killed Americans, the views of radical critics of the country are confirmed with graphic clarity. These views include… a) the belief that Israel will turn against the U.S. whenever it suits its interests… b) the belief that Israel’s control over the American political and Military structure is so great that it can openly kill Americans because it knows that officials at every level will work together to cover up the crime… and c) the belief that Israel is a terrorist state
