Some on the Right are no longer just wanting for Obama to fail.  They are praying for it.  And not only that, but some are praying for him to die.  Wiley Drake, a prominent Southern Baptist, was on Fox radio giving his views:

Later in the interview, Colmes returned to Drake's answer to make sure he heard him right.

"Are you praying for his death?" Colmes asked.

"Yes," Drake replied.

"So you're praying for the death of the president of the United States?"

"Yes."

This isn't the first time that Drake has prayed for someone to die.  He claims to have been asking God to kill the recently slain women's health doctor, George Tiller.  Imprecatory prayer is a rarely performed type of prayer, cited in the Bible's Psalms, which is a curse to bring "death and misfortune" to your enemies.  Drake is proud to use God for his message of hate, and backs it up:

"It is in the Bible, and we are proud to say as Southern Baptists that we believe the Book," he said. "You've got to believe the whole Book, brother, or you don't believe any of it."

Regardless of Drake's words, some Southern Baptists have spoken out against this rhetoric, including pastor Dwight McKissic in Arlington, Texas.  McKissic is African American and has praised Obama in the past.

McKissic, who is asking the SBC this year to adopt a resolution celebrating the election of the nation's first African-American president, said if Drake was identified in the interview as a Southern Baptist, then his remarks should not go unchallenged.

Personally, I think that Drake's prayers are worthless.  But some people do listen to his words--those on the lunatic fringe.  One has already killed a doctor and now Drake is on the radio saying that he is asking God to kill Obama. 

What he really is asking is for one of his listeners to do it.
