You are probably aware that some of the Fundies are trying to popularize Psalm 109:8 as a way to express their desire that Pres. Obama be removed from office, one way or another. There are two points that show how stupid they really are. First, that verse is part of an imprecatory prayer that the good man of the psalm is asking God to grant against his enemies who are unfairly attacking him. His enemies are "speaking against me with lying tongues" but that's exactly what the Fundies do when they speak of "death panels" and the "socialization of 1/6th of the economy." A fair reading of the psalm and what the Fundies have been saying would mean that they are the liars. The second point is that once again, the Fundies are playing the victim card, at least in their preferred reading.
