Terry Jones Hangs Barack Obama Effigy Outside Florida Church

The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., has hanged an effigy of President Barack Obama from a gallows on its front lawn, a move DWOC pastor Terry Jones said was in response to Obama's recent endorsement of same-sex marriage, as well as his stance on abortion and what Jones called his "appeasing of radical Islam."

According to the Broward-Palm Beach New Times, the U.S. Secret Service is currently investigating Jones in response to the display.

The effigy is suspended from a makeshift gallows with a noose of yellow rope, has a doll in its right hand and a rainbow-colored gay pride flag in its left.

What kind of a pastor does something so horrible. This is no better than the people who threatened to kill Scott Walker. It is wrong and for adults to do this is bad enough but for a man who claims to be a pastor it is beyond understanding. I don't care what Obama does while in office I don't want anyone to kill him for real or in effigy. This is just wrong and a Christian pastor should know better all he has to do is think to himself is this something Jesus would do and if it isn't not do it and what this pastor did Jesus would not do ever.

Terry Jones is not right in the head (imo).

No matter what I think of Barack Obama, there is nothing acceptable about a man of God (or one who is supposed to be a man of God) behaving this way.

Scripture tells us (and I'd have to look up where it is, I can't recall off hand) to obey those appointed over us. I think that applies here.

I forget if it's Matt 5, 6, or 7 and I can only paraphrase it, but doesn't it say that if we just want to kill someone we are guilty of murder?

I don't like Obama, but I wish him no harm. I just don't want the man for president.

I can't understand someone who thinks one sin is so much worse then any other. Yeah homosexuality is bad, but Jones is no better then homosexuals or Obama when he pulls stunts like hanging Obama in effigy.
