An Arizona pastor who delivered the «Why I Hate Barack Obama» sermon was confronted by about 100 protesters Sunday outside his church near Phoenix.
Protesters at the so-called «Love Rally» denounced Pastor Steven L. Anderson’s sermon, which called on parishioners to pray for the president’s death, as «hate speech».
«It’s hard to believe we could have someone of a religious nature wishing our president was dead», said protester William Crumb to KNXV-TV in Phoenix.
Another protester, Larry Crane, said,«Im just disgusted with this man who claims to be a minister of the Lord preaching hate toward the president».
Last month, Anderson, 27, told the members of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Ariz, that he prays the president would die soon.
«Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow», Anderson said in the sermon, available on YouTube. «Let his children be continually vagabonds and beg»
Despite adverse reactions from the public, the controversial pastor again repeated his message Sunday outside his church.
«I hope it happens today, not when he (the president) gets older»,said a defiant Anderson, according to NBC affiliate 12 News. «I hope he dies of brain cancer today».
Anderson said he received a phone call from the U.S. Secret Service in August. The Secret Service said it was following up on Anderson’s comments. Also, an anti-hate watchdog group is monitoring the preacher, who it fears could incite militia activities.
The day after Anderson’s sermon, one of his parishioners, Christopher Broughton, carried a loaded AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a handgun to an event where Obama would address a veteran’s group. Broughton, however, said he was not motivated to carry guns to the event because of Anderson, but because of his long-standing dislike of the president.
Broughton was not arrested because it is legal to openly carry a gun in Arizona.
Though Anderson is an active pastor, he also runs a small business installing commercial fire alarms. The Faithful Word Baptist Church is located in Anderson’s office in a strip mall.

My comment:
No man that has been born again by the Spirit of God will wish evil on any one. We want even our worst enemy to get saved.
Matthew 5:44
«But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you».

These kinds of actions by “false teachers” are one of the major reasons attendance in churches are dropping off. It is also one of the most oft cited reasons younger generations give for not believing in God or ascribing to any “organized” religion. My query is where are these ministers finding all the hate? When I read the bible all I feel is love and acceptance, charity and tolerance, compassion and service.
Dear Wayne.
Shalom, and welcome to this site. I agree with you. I find it strange that a Baptist preacher can talk this way. But the Bible warns us that people shall give up their faith in the end times. I guess this preacher man is a good example, of the present age. I preach that the age of grace is rapidly ending, and that all Christians have to get ready for the great apostasy and tribulation. Paul explained that Judgment starts with the Church.
I find that baptists feel the same way about Catholics.
I tend to agree with the preacher and the anger that those who are disgusted with him don’t understand….Is really quite simple….OBAMA WENT TO A CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS IN WICH HIS MENTOR PREACHED ABOUT HOW THE WHITE MAN ENGINEERED AIDS TO KILL MILLIONS NOT JUST THE CHOSEN ONE , BUT MILLIONS OF BLACKS. AND THE WHITE MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 911..TWENTY YEARS OF THIS SHIT OBAMA LISTENED TO… tHIS MAN DOESNT WANT ONE ALL BLACKS DEAD, JUST TWO…WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU TO HYPOCRITS WHEN THEY ELECTED THE CHOSEN ONE- FALSE GOD- YOU TWO SO FERVERENTLY SUPPORT
Dear Robert.
Shalom, and welcome to this site.
You dont have to write in capital letters. We can all read. If Obama need to be saved, We need to pray for him. If Obama is wrong, we need to correct Him. Since it is not so easy to get access to the White House to do that, we need to rebuke him in public.
if oboma is wrong.what in the hell is matter with you..must be plain stupid..probably a mormon with his head in his ass reading the book of aberham with tom monsen and boyd k pecker
