One can only wonder how THIS PERSON ever attained a position of power in the Kansas State Legislature:
The Republican speaker of the Kansas statehouse issued an apology this week after sending emails from his personal account referring to First Lady Michelle Obama as Mrs. YoMama and quoting a Bible verse cited by some as a reference to presidential assassination.
Kansas House Speaker Mike ONeal , from the city of Hutchison, sent an email before Christmas that compared the presidents wife to the Dr. Seuss character The Grinch, with a tagline asking: Twins separated at birth?
Im sure youll join me in wishing Mrs. YoMama a wonderful, long Hawaii Christmas vacation at our expense, of course, the forward read.
In another of ONeals emails, he referenced Psalm 109 from the Old Testament, which reads in part:
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
ONeal wrote: At last I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!

(47,141 posts)1) people in important public roles, spreading that kind of hateful rhetoric, can cause people with limited marbles to get violent.
2) Praying for a political opponents death really is kind of sick. The magic man in the sky isn't going to do anything to help of course but whatever.

(89,247 posts)it's one thing if it was just the President who is a political public figure. but his wish is to see the wife and especially the young kids in pain and without anything.

(1,979 posts)I mean, this is a public official and what this amounts to is treason. How in the world are these idiots getting away with this stuff?
People in other countries think American's are crazy for the way our President is disrespected - this is a perfect example of what they are talking about.
I'm just shaking my head in sorrow that our country has come to this.

(1,956 posts)He forwarded right wing emails. The quoted story wasn't really very honest about that.
The Secret Service can hardly run down everyone that forwarded the email.
