ARLINGTON, Texas (ABP) -- A prominent African-American pastor says Southern Baptist leaders should publicly repudiate comments by a former Southern Baptist Convention officer that he is praying for President Obama to die.

Dwight McKissic, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, said he had not heard an interview on Fox News Radio in which former SBC second vice president Wiley Drake said he is praying "imprecatory prayer" against Obama.

McKissic, who is asking the SBC this year to adopt a resolution celebrating the election of the nation's first African-American president, said if Drake was identified in the interview as a Southern Baptist, then his remarks should not go unchallenged.

1. A fricken MEN- he needs to be more than repudiated. His words

are indefensible.

All "christ'ians" need to speak up against the kind of thinking this man promotes.

As someone who desires to follow the teachings of Jesus, I'm more than disturbed by what Drake says- and his attempt to hide his hatred behind the mask of 'religion'.

and saddened beyond words by the hatred running rampant in this sad old world.
