Imprecatory preaching and gun-toting

Pastor Steve Anderson of Faithful World Independent Baptist Church has attracted attention with sermons like Why I Hate Barack Obama.

There turns out to be a link between his preaching and a gun-toting parishioner, acknowledged to TPM.

Justin Elliott writes:

Chris Broughton, the man who brought an assault rifle and a handgun to the Obama event in Arizona last week, attended a fiery anti-Obama sermon the day before the event, in which Pastor Steven Anderson said he was going to "pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell", Anderson confirmed to TPMmuckraker today.

Disturbing certainly, but no gun play thus far.
