Internet evangelist offers $10,000 for long form

(June 22) Internet evangelist Bill Keller has offered Rachel Maddow $10,000 to produce Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate. Keller’s web site is LivePrayer.com. Hmmm. I wonder if that’s his money or the Lord’s money he’s offering?

Keller said [according to ChristianNewsWire], “I am not interested in the Certificate of Live Birth the President has produced, since anyone can get that with a phone call. Also, the newspaper birth announcements came from the ordering of the Certificate of Live Birth.

Keller is a bit confused. The “long form” is titled “Certificate of Live Birth.” But let’s see Keller’s Hawaiian certificate and newspaper announcement!

Here’s Keller’s Obama citizenship denial video. Includes Gary Kreep interview, and some very ominous music.

Obama a Muslim, Egyptian official says?

Flash traffic received on the Birther network!

As reported on the Israel Today web site today,

The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV.

Normally one views diplomats as the soul of discretion. However, this article claims that the Egyptian Foreign Minister repeated on TV something President Obama told him in confidence. That is a very strange claim. Israel Yahom (Israel Today), is a free daily supporting Prime Minister Netanyahu and has carried extensive “Where’s the Birth Certificate” advertising and a consistently anti-Obama editorial position such as this from last January:

In addition to bolstering Republican opposition to US President Barack Obama’s more liberal policies in the Senate, Brown will increase support for Israel in Congress, thereby making it even harder for Obama to ram through his wayward Middle East policies by using economic pressure.

You will remember that it was another right-wing pro-Israel web site, the Israel Insider, that was in the forefront of reporting that Obama’s birth certificate was a forgery.

PsalmTshirt

The shirt was removed after it was discovered that the biblical text cited suggests a desire for Obama’s death.

Eligibility lawsuit plaintiff Drake stops praying for Obama to die

Wiley Drake

Wiley Drake

According to a report in the Associated Baptist Press, pastor Wiley Drake, one of the plaintiffs in the Barnett v. Obama lawsuit in California federal court, has stopped paying for Obama’s death. They wrote:

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.”

Imprecatory prayer is an attempt to invoke God to “curse” someone, akin to the voodoo doll or the Curse of the Pharaohs directed against Egyptian tomb robbers.

It appears that it was not the Christian principle of love of neighbor that motivated the change of heart in Pastor Drake, but rather the story from Hebrew scriptures of the “handwriting on the wall”. After being visited by the Department of Homeland Security, Pastor James D. Manning of New York did a 180-degree reversal in his calls for the death of Barack “the long legged mack daddy” Obama, and it appears that Drake got the message. Writes the Baptist Press:

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 was a Baptist for many years, and I never heard of anyone praying for the harm of another human being. Drake represents Baptists no more than Obama denialists represent the country in general. Martin Luther included the following in hymn he wrote: "Give to our Prince and all [political] authorities peace and good government that we under them may live a calm in quiet life in all blessedness and modesty.”]

Obama critic receives visit from the Secret Service

Pastor Dr. James (“show the dog gone birth certificate“) Manning claims that he was visited Monday (October 17, 2009) by the United States Secret Service two CIA agents/ Homeland Security and two New York detectives [Manning's comments below contradict what is on his web site as to who exactly visited] who questioned him about remarks regarding the President. It is reported that Manning said on his radio program that he made a comment that Obama should be “tried for treason, thrown in jail and then hung and shot”.

So far I have not found any news source reporting this incident.

In another video, now “made private” on YouTube Manning is reported by the reliable BadFiction blog to have said:

“What we need to be focused on, if we allow Obama to live, in his present state as a criminal, then America is torn apart. God knows America is gone. America is gone, if we allow Obama to continue, then the nation is gone, so which, which is it? Obama lives and America dies?

Manning is also known for calling the President “The Long Legged Mack Daddy.”
