ABCNews.com reports that the Tempe, Ariz., pastor who earned national media attention for his recent "Obama Should Die" sermon (CNN video above) drew 100 protesters at his church last Sunday.
Should anti-Obama religious conservatives be expected to denounce Pastor Steven L. Anderson's hateful rhetoric, especially after one of his parishioners carried a loaded gun to the president's appearance in Tempe the next day?
Or are liberals unfairly insinuating that a fundamentalist preacher—Anderson's church Web site describes the congregation as an "old-fashioned, independent, fundamental, King James Bible only, separated Baptist church and not ashamed to say so"—is the face of faith-based Obama opposition?
Hat tip to Public Religion Research.
