Broughton was the man filmed and photographed at the President's Arizona stop recently with a loaded military weapon strapped to his back. Now we find out he had attended the sermon of a minister who openly prayed for the death of President Obama and fondly looked forward to Obama going to hell. The Secret Service admits that death threats against the President are up 400% over previous presidents.

PASTOR OF GUN TOTER AT OBAMA EVENT PRAYS FOR PRESIDENT TO DIE
August 28, 2009

Pastor Anderson said he wants the President to die.(NATIONAL) -- Chris Broughton, the man who brought an assault rifle and handgun to the President Obama event in Arizona last week, had attended a fiery anti-Obama sermon in a church the day before the event, at which his Pastor Steven Anderson said he was going to "pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell", pastor Anderson told the web site TPMmuckraker.
Pastor Anderson said Broughton had informed him about his planned show of arms at the Obama event, but added "he (Broughton) planned out the AR15 thing long before he heard that sermon.â€
Pastor Anderson’s sermon was delivered Sunday August 16th at the fundamentalist Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, AZ.
"I don't obey Barack Obama. And I'd like Barack Obama to melt like a snail tonight," pastor Anderson said in the sermon.
The sermon, titled "Why I Hate Barack Obama" also contained virulent anti-gay themes.
Anderson told TPMmuckraker that Broughton joined the church about three months ago. The pastor said he encouraged Broughton to make sure he would not run afoul of any federal laws and insisted he was not encouraging acts of violence toward the president.
"No where in the sermon did I advocate vigilantism," Anderson said. "It's a spiritual battle. I'd rather have him die of natural causes anyway, that way he's not some martyr. I'm praying for him to die just so he gets what he deserves."
The connection between Broughton and Anderson was first pointed out by the Phoenix New Times. During an appearance on a radio show hosted by Alex Jones, whom some have called a conspiracy theorist, Broughton mentioned that Anderson was his pastor.
Pastor Anderson in a sermon inspired by one of King David's prayers against his enemies (from the bible) compared President Obama to a slug or snail and wished he could pour salt on him:
“Yeah, God appointed him to destroy this country for the wickedness of the United States of America…but let me tell you something: I don't love Barack Obama. I don't respect Barack Obama. I don't obey Barack Obama. And I'd like Barack Obama to melt like a snail tonight. Because he needs to recompense, he needs to reap what he's sown.
You see, any Christian will tell you that someone who commits murder should get the death penalty. Because that's what it says in Genesis Chapter 9, that's what it says in the Mosaic Law, that's what it teaches us throughout the Bible…and when Barack Obama is gonna push his partial birth abortion, his salty saline solution abortion, hey, he deserves to be punished for what he's done…Nope. I'm not gonna pray for his good. I'm going to pray that he dies and goes to hell. When I go to bed tonight, that's what I'm going to pray. And you say, 'Are you just saying that?' No. When I go to bed tonight, Steven L. Anderson is going to pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell.â€
The pastor also equated the President with Hitler, Stalin, and Jeffrey Dahmer, the late serial killer and practicing cannibal.
This is scary as hell. CNN had audio of the actual sermon and I will post it as soon as the CNN website puts it up.
