Man Arrested For Making Threats Against Singer Elton John www.eltonjohnscorporation.com

ATLANTA -- A Georgia man who posted a video of himself on the Internet holding a sign that said " Elton John must die" has been arrested for making terroristic threats.

Neal Horsley, 65, was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, about 50 miles west of Atlanta, said Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport. He would not say who Horsley is accused of threatening, but Horsley's son, Nathan, said he thought the arrest was connected to the video about the musician.

In the video posted Feb. 28 on YouTube, Horsley held the sign in front of a building where he said John has a condo. John's publicist, Fran Curtis, confirmed that John has an Atlanta apartment but declined further comment.

Horsley was upset that John, who is gay, told Parade magazine in an interview last month that he thought Jesus was a "compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."

"What Elton John has done is desecrated the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, blasphemed the Lord Jesus Christ," Horsley said in the video.

Horsley founded the Creator's Rights Party and has declared himself a candidate in the 2010 governor's race. He kicked off his campaign July 4, 2008 in downtown Carrollton, wearing a placard showing the head of an aborted fetus while singing an anti- abortion song.

The state ethics commission, which oversees election filings, has no record of Horsley's campaign.

He previously gained notoriety in the late 1990s for his role in establishing a Web site that published the names and addresses of doctors who performed abortions. Planned Parenthood officials called the site a "hit list for terrorists."

Fulton County jail records showed Horsley also faces charges of criminal defamation and disseminating terroristic threats over the Internet.

He was being held Thursday in the Fulton County jail on $40,000 bond. As conditions for his release, a judge said he must live with his son in a house with a phone landline and must pay 10 percent of his bond in cash.

Horsley's son said his father doesn't have an attorney.

Just another Christian nut-job, that can barely contain his hate. Christianity has always been an insane concept. No intention to offend-I'm merely stating my independent observations. There's a long history associated with Christianity-(and Religionism)-indicating a preoccupation with War-lunacy and violence. Gods TRUE people (if they existed)-would never behave in such manner. God is Love-not Hatred you fool. And God isnt a risen (man) or a religion. Even an untainted child-knows it.

this is ridiculous. even if jesus was/is straight, im not so sure he would want to kill people who think he might have been gay......

[weirdguy75]

All christian right wing whack jobs should be locked up. If Reg's intention was to piss off stupid people then I say, "never die, Captain Fantastic."

[etiosoul]

but it is OK to offend the Christians? the man did not say he is gone kill Elton john,he is showing his anger of course in different way,(wrong to kill some one) Elton can repent and Christ will forgive him for his wrong doing, but there is one sin that he can not get forgiveness for AND THAT'S CURSING THE WHOLLY SPIRIT,(father,son,HOLLY SPIRIT) AS ONE!

I don't get why people think saying someone is gay is the most offensive thing in the world!

These extremest views on gays are just ridiculous, they're almost as stupid as thinking man and woman were just plonked on the earth. oops...

@voiceovergay clearly gay man you have absolutely no clue about what you are talking about. the greek word idiot springs to mind. Jesus is the son of God . Pure holy and sinless. he died for our sin if he were not sinless his death would be of no value. homosexual behavior is an abomination to God. its listed in the old testament and new and is a sin worthy of hell leviticus18v21 romans 1v 24-27 jude 1v7 also 1 corinthians 6v9 . so shut and stop talking crap

@ksm1031 You know, your right. One kept harassing me on the street. I think they have some sort of mental illness. Not offence to Christians, just talking talking to the fundamentalists.
