Wiley Drake: "I've stopped praying Obama's death, I now want him to be convicted of treason"

[ck4829]

A former Southern Baptist Convention officer who made headlines in June when he said on national radio that he was praying for Barack Obama to die now says he wants to see the president live long enough to stand trial for treason.

Wiley Drake, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif., issued a press release Nov. 19 calling for an end to "imprecatory prayer" -- words of judgment from the Book of Psalms prayed back to God, directed toward Obama.

Drake said he is now "calling for all of God's people and prayer warriors to cease the imprecatory prayer, and pray for Mr. Obama's protection until he can be properly tried for treason."

Drake attributed his change of heart to "spiritual counsel" of James David Manning, pastor at ATLAH World Missionary Church in New York, contained in a 16 1/2-minute video recorded Nov. 18.

"I have asked men everywhere please do you no harm," Manning said in remarks he addressed to "Barack Hussein the long-legged mack daddy Obama." According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, "mack daddy" is slang for a slick womanizer or conspicuously successful pimp.

"I do not want to see anyone attempt, dream about, think about or ever discuss assassinating you," Manning continued. "It is most important to you and to my savior Jesus that you live, and that you live a long life, but that you live that we might be able to bring you to trial. You see if someone does you harm, and you are not able to be brought to trial, then we lose the opportunity of proving our statements that you are not the president of the United States of America. You are not. You are an illegal alien, a usurper."

Once again, the stunning lack of logic shines through in the birthers. I'll play Drake and Manning's little game, IF Obama was a traitor, wouldn't that make the Bush Administration, John McCain and Sarah Palin, all 50 State governors, many judges all the way up the Supreme Court, and 50 million people guilty of aiding and abetting this supposed traitor? Since these people had no issue with Obama's citizenship or never brought it up, they must be tried for treason too. So Wiley and Manning, you gonna charge me with treason too, huh?

1. Well, THAT'S progress . . . .

:sarcasm:

[spoony]

2. God put him on ignore.

Won't even accept his PMs anymore.

[GodlessBiker]

3. This is strong evidence that Drake has merely changed his medication from one bad drug to another.

[jobycom]

4. So he is now praying for Obama's immortality? That's cool.

He wants to "pray for Mr. Obama's protection until he can be properly tried for treason." Since there is nothing to properly try him for treason over, that's like forever, isn't it?

[Bolo Boffin]

5. What a flipping asshole. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

6. I guess that the first tactic wasn't working.

So, he's trying for something easier to accomplish.

God ain't listenin', however.


In a few months, Drake will be praying to his god to give President Obama a bad hair day.

After that doesn't work, he'll pray that god makes Obama lose his car keys...

[Turbineguy]

7. That brown acid is still around?

[Fearless]

8. Bush first.

[Orsino]

9. Translation: "I'm not making headlines anymore, so here's another plea for attention." n/t

[HughMoran]

10. Look, just because Bush IS guilty of treason, doesn't mean you can project that onto Obama

Bad minister, go directly to hell.

[rucky]

11. The asshole has turned the other cheek.

[arbusto_baboso]

12. Yeah, good luck with that one "minister".

Just because your idiot flock accepts your assertions without supporting data doesn't necessarily mean Congress would do so. And they're the ones who would have to convict Obama of treason. And this isn't 1996 any longer muhfuh.

[Bluebear]

13. Good heavens, people, don't unrecommend this.

this is precisely the rhetoric that should be on DU's front page and spread far and wide, so people can see what kind of nuts are out there!

[arbusto_baboso]

16. I don't get it, either.

Either there are freeper trolls unreccing this thread, or we have some "progressives" who think the article is "inflammatory". Whichever it is, it's just idiotic.

[Ganja Ninja]

14. So still an asshole then.

Thanks for checking in Pastor Fake. Oops! Silly me, I mean Drake. Bet I'm not the only one whose ever made that mistake.

[Initech]

15. Logic really defies the teabaggers.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Even if Obama was an 'alien', what does that have to do with treason?

[struggle4progress]

18. Got worried he'd be charged with conspiracy if one of his listeners attempted a hit,

I'd bet

[okieinpain]

19. at first I was pissed off about this prayer but now I'm in love with it

I think it's a perfect prayer for obama and I think all of du should encourage all repugs to pray this prayer so that the all mighty god grant their prayer. much thanks to "kpete" for researching this and posting the full prayer. isn't there some curse for taking the lords word out of context.

Psalm 109 1

For the music director, a psalm of David.

109:1 O God whom I praise, do not ignore me!

109:2 For they say cruel and deceptive things to me;

they lie to me.

109:3 They surround me and say hateful things;

they attack me for no reason.

109:4 They repay my love with accusations,

but I continue to pray.

109:5 They repay me evil for good,

and hate for love.

109:6 Appoint an evil man to testify against him!

May an accuser stand at his right side!

109-7 When he is judged, he will be found guilty!

Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.

109:8 May his days be few!

May another take his job!

109-9 May his children be fatherless,

and his wife a widow!

109:10 May his children roam around begging,

asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!

109:11 May the creditor seize all he owns!

May strangers loot his property!

109:12 May no one show him kindness!

May no one have compassion on his fatherless children!

109:13 May his descendants be cut off!

May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives!

109:14 May his ancestors’ sins be remembered by the Lord!

May his mother’s sin not be forgotten!

109:15 May the Lord be constantly aware of them,

and cut off the memory of his children from the earth!

109:16 For he never bothered to show kindness;

he harassed the oppressed and needy,

and killed the disheartened.

109:17 He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him.

He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

109:18 He made cursing a way of life,

so curses poured into his stomach like water

and seeped into his bones like oil.

109:19 May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on,

or a belt one wears continually!

109:20 May the Lord repay my accusers in this way,

those who say evil things about me!

109:21 O sovereign Lord,

intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation!

Because your loyal love is good, deliver me!

109:22 For I am oppressed and needy,

and my heart beats violently within me.

109:23 I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day;

I am shaken off like a locust.

109:24 I am so starved my knees shake;

I have turned into skin and bones.

109:25 I am disdained by them.

When they see me, they shake their heads.

109:26 Help me, O Lord my God!

Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!

109:27 Then they will realize this is your work,

and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.

109:28 They curse, but you will bless.

When they attack, they will be humiliated,

but your servant will rejoice.

109:29 My accusers will be covered with shame,

and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.

109:30 I will thank the Lord profusely,

in the middle of a crowd I will praise him,

109:31 because he stands at the right hand of the needy,

to deliver him from those who threaten his life.
