Randall Terry of Operation Rescue, inaugurating a “Burn in Hell” contest to “give people a chance to peacefully vent their rage” over abortion provisions in the health care proposals:

If Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid force us to pay for child killing and they die unrepentant, they will burn in hell for this.

Associated Press:

A YouTube video of the contest instructions shows how to print a poster of Reid and Pelosi and construct a stand for it. The clip shows a person dousing the Democratic leaders’ images with flammable liquid. The next scene shows their picture going up in flames. People are then encouraged to take pictures, record and submit online the footage of their Oct. 31 protests.

“No, this is not a threat to their body,” an unidentified man says in the instructional video, “but it is a threat to their soul.”

This is where regular commenter Les, were he not still in recovery from his heart attack, would step in to defend this as effective political street theater. And perhaps it is. But the religious hubris is astounding. Between this and Pat Robertson’s fears about demonic candy, I just don’t know what to say.
