Anderson delivered the anti-Obama sermon two weeks ago on Aug. 16, the day after the president and his family arrived in Phoenix.
During his hour-long sermon, Anderson stated that he did not hate Obama for his politics, but that he hated the man himself, and then cited what he said was scripture that proved "God hated Barack Obama," too.
Claiming that the Bible says that evil people should melt like a snail, Anderson said in his sermon that Obama deserves the death penalty and needs to be punished because of his pro-choice stance on abortion.
An audio of the sermon from the right-wing pastor is posted on the Faithful Word Baptist Church's Web site. It also was posted on YouTube but has since been removed.
Anderson in his sermon also calls Obama a “madman” and says the president’s “one of the rulers of the darkness of this world.”
