Crooks & Liars: Gun-toting Arizona protester belongs to hate-mongering pastor's flock

By David Neiwert Tuesday Aug 25, 2009 5:00pm

So it turns out that Contessa Brewer had good reason to see a connection between the rabidly hateful rhetoric spewed by the likes of Pastor Steven Anderson and the angry, gun-toting protesters turning out for presidential events: One of the most prominent of these, an African-American man named "Chris", is in fact a member of Pastor Anderson's congregation.

"Chris" was on Alex Jones' "Prison Planet" radio show late last week and discussed how "my pastor was beaten up" at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

Yes, that pastor is indeed Steven Anderson, who was arrested in April by the Border Patrol for being uncooperative at a patrol checkpoint. Anderson attempted to make himself something of a national martyr to the conspiracists out there by posting a video to YouTube about it that quickly went viral.

Jones took note of the Anderson connection:

Jones: Now I'm starting to get a clearer picture. You go to Pastor Anderson's church, I see.

Chris: Yeah, yes I do. Proudly. I think it's the best church in the world.

The funny thing about these gun-toting protesters is that they like to portray themselves as being simple, honest defenders of their gun rights when they show up for public events, especially those featuring the president, packing heat publicly.

They adamantly deny that they're bringing their guns to intimidate their fellow citizens from speaking out with a contrary view. But this is beyond disingenuous; it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the vast majority of the people who attend a public debate will perceive someone with a gun as someone they should fear -- particularly if they have an opposing view. Most people will see someone with a gun at an event that does not deal with guns as a potential threat. And you can't tell me that most of these gun-toters are not perfectly aware of the intimidation factor they carry with them and are not in fact packing heat for just that reason.

Moreover, these gun-toters want to assure us they pose no threat whatsoever to either the president or his supporters by bringing these guns. They're just ordinary citizens standing up for their rights, right? The Secret Service need have no fear about their motives.

But then we find out that at least one of them ardently admires a pastor who preaches how much he hates Obama and wishes him dead, in order "to save this country."

And we're supposed to tell these "innocent" gun nuts from the people who might actually aim their weapons at the president how?

As a Christian and a conservative, that pastor is not preaching the word of God. That is pure hatred. What happened to love the sinner, hate the sin? I too disagree with Obama and his policies, but spewing this crap is not the answer.

Well, now I need a gun. If this COCKSUCKER can carry a gun then I will too. Im gonna take one to Phil roes next town hall. Damn shame, but I'm gonna do it. No longer passive. They asked for they got it. Ok, anybody know where I can get this type of gun??? Our congressman Phil (eat some shit) Roe talks constantly about going to church and being a doctor. I guess this is the kind of shit he learns while he is there. Guns it is......STUPID wins this one !!!!! Before this piece of shit America is

"the meek shall inherit the earth"? If you're so meek, then shut up.

That's the dumbest sermon I've ever heard. God must be shaking His head and sighing.

[Bcasey11]

that was an awesome sermon

The rifle would probably break, its only a spring loaded stock. Why do you have to be mentally ill, he was making a statement, I would do the same if Bush was back in office, well there is no real difference between both of them.

And if that would happen, you hitting him, than you would be the aggressor and subject to the consequence of intruding on someone elses rights. You should not do that.

[viper8red]

I would take that gun off his shoulder and bash him over the head with it. Because you have to be mentally ill to take a firearm to a presidential rally.

[coffee396]

they're against unions, free education and they even believe that only people with money deserve to live, the GOP stands against everything a democracy represents. They're payed by major insurance companies and they're against free Health care, mmmhh well that's weird isn't it ? They're payed by major oil industries and they want you ti believe that global worman is a mith, mmhh why's that ? Please try to understand, these people only want one thing, your money and they want it for free.

[coffee396]

You don't realize anything, you don't get it. I'm a working man and I don't want wall street doing what ever they want, I want banks to have restrictions and I want my rights to be protected. The GOP defends big companies and make sure they don't lose any money, that's what you don't get, as a working man, if you are a working man, The right wing is the enemy,

[1776iscoming]

I realize that you leftists absolutely need government control over your lives because you cannot think for yourself. You literally have placed the federal gov't as your god. You know this, I know this, there is no need to bash the other side because we criticize your god.
