Phoenix Pastor and Gun Toter wish President Obama dead

Chris Broughton gained national attention after attending a Presidential rally in Phoenix with a AR-15 strapped to his shoulder. He is also a parishioner of Faithful Word Baptist Church. The pastor of the church, Steve Andersen garnered his own national attention when his sermon was titled "Why I hate Barack Obama!" In his sermon he stated he wishes the President would die. Sarge Phelps has invited the Pastor for a debate on his statements, and Christianity, the pastor has not responded.

This has now gone a bit further, ABC 15 of Phoenix has caught with both the pastor and gun toter. Andersen had this to say "If you want to know how I'd like to see Obama die, I'd like him to die of natural causes," said Anderson. "I don't want him to be a martyr, we don't need another holiday. I'd like to see him die, like Ted Kennedy, of brain cancer." Chris Broughton, added after a reporter asked him about the sermon "you're not advocating violence against the president?" Broughton states "I'm not going to answer that question directly."

According to reports, the secret service has been in contact with both men, but have yet to elaborate on details. Video of the interviews can be seen here. Now this is no longer about health care reform. In many cases similar to this, it is about a black man in the white house, in Broughton's case it is about ideology. The idiocy here is Pastor Andersen's endangerment of the President, of innocent civilians, the secret service, and his own parishioners.
