Loving, Christian Pastor Hangs Effigy of President Obama with Pride Flag by Noose in Front Yard

Say what you will about Gainesville Pastor Terry Jones, I don’t think there’s a soul out there that would deny the man is a gentle man of the cloth in possession of a subtle yet eloquent emotional vocabulary. Lo, the man is like a soft whisper carrying powerful words on a summer breeze!

I’m sorry, what’s that?

The display in the front yard of Terry Jones’s Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC) in Gainesville features a dummy wearing an Obama mask hanging from a yellow noose. Along with an American flag and a rainbow-striped gay pride flag, the scene includes an Uncle Sam dummy and a child’s doll hanging from the right hand of the Obama figure.

Nearby, the words “Obama is Killing America” are printed on a trailer. So, it appears, the creepy Jones is returning the favor.

Err…

So many questions! Was the dummy hung because of President Obama’s newly announced support for marriage equality? Or was this particular dummy hung for impersonating President Obama by waving a pride flag in support of marriage equality? Identity theft is no joke, y’all!

Or is this kind and loving pastor maybe just a huge jackhole?

Jerk.

The pride flag represents his support of gay marriage and the baby represents his support of abortion apparently. Thats what the Gainesville Sun said…can’t believe this “church” is in my city.

Scary. I don’t agree with the man (save for marriage equality) but i don’t want to see him hurt. Besides Obama is not killing the USA it’s the coorporations having so much power over the government that is killing it. It doesn’t matter if you reelect Obeezy or even a republican things will keep going downhill not because of their politics but because coorporate greed has become unsustainable. Suck on that church you really want to talk about Amercia (sic) going down the crapper but you still shop at mega marts and eat fast food? Hypocrats! morons! creeps!

Isn’t this the same idiot who wanted Christians to publicly burn copies of the Koran? Why does anyone pay attention to him, anymore?

This needs to stop. Can’t something be done about this guy? Isn’t hanging an effigy a threat?

People like this just make our battle so much easier. People look at the two gays guys next door who mow their lawn, talk about the weather, and stop by for Christmas, and then they look at this moron and think, “What’s the big deal?”

This has been photoshopped so many times it’s unbelieveable. He is not at that church any more.

I swear Pastors are pulling these kinds of crazy PR stunts in an attempt to rile people up, then they can just hide behind “Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion” BS.
