There’s a hilarious new meme in the wingnut sectors of the internet: someone’s coined a bumper sticker slogan encouraging people to pray for Barack Obama . But here’s the funny part: it’s really a secret Christian code for “Kill the President!’ Posters to various message boards tell stories of seeing bumper stickers with the message “Pray for Obama—Psalm 109:8” on the highway, only to look up the verse and find, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” People — like the commenter “Panama” on INGunOwners.com , to pick one guy completely at random — think this is “too funny.” The next verse in Psalms is, “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.” Anyway, now it’s a real thing: CafePress is selling T-shirts and bumper stickers , the Christian Science Monitor is wondering whether it’s ” funny or sinister ” to pray for Obama’s death, and Rachel Maddow referenced it last night on her show . Psalm 109 is known as ” A Cry for Vengeance ,” which is one of the foundational values of Christianity, along with small-business tax cuts.
