GOP Speaker Of Kansas House Sends Out Email Prayer For Death Of Obama

The GOP speaker of the Kansas House has sent out an email prayer for the death of President Obama. Such "imprecatory prayers" are usually seen from far-right preachers, not politicians.

The Journal-World also revealed that O’Neal had forward another email which referenced the Bible verse Psalm 109:8, which reads: “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” The very next verse adds: “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow." The verse became a conservative meme in 2009 after it began appearing on bumper stickers, t-shirts and even toys. The most common slogan was, “Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8.” “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president!” O’Neal wrote. “Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”

Another email from O'Neal referred to the First Lady as "Mrs. YoMama" and compared her appearance to Dr. Seuss' Grinch.

Former Rep. Jim Slattery (D-KS) has come out with one of the strangest ads ever seen in his campaign to unseat Sen. Pat Roberts. Via Horse's Ass:

Behold the most horrifying yet hilarious political advertisement ever produced. (You think I exaggerate? Watch it. I dare you.) “Gushing record profits?” Bwhaaaaaaa.) The ad is on behalf of ex-Congressman Jim Slattery of Kansas, who is challenging Republican incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts. I have to confess, I don’t recall Slattery being the sort who would make an ad about this sort of thing. I mean, gasoline doesn’t exactly make it any less horrifying. Hope no Kansans were smoking cigarettes or anything.
