Self-appointed ‘internet pastor’ Josh Feurenstein took to Facebook saying in part “I say, tonight, we punish Planned Parenthood, I think it’s time that abortion doctors should have to run and hide and be afraid for their life.”
The Facebook post appeared in July, and today Fuerenstein is both frantically deleting the video, and heatedly denying saying any of it, in the wake of the recent Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting of three people.
It *is kind of adorable that Pastor F believes he can erase something on the internet. By now, it’s widely known that the perpetrator Robert Lewis Dear was heard mumbling about ‘baby parts.’ Of course the words ‘baby parts’ refer to a video that was highly edited, false, and became a controversial video hit job on Planned Parenthood.
Feurenstein has encouraged followers to make sure they know how to use a gun. As you can see in this photo of happier days, he even placed a gun in the hands of his young child for an online episode. Don’t rush to judgement, he had a good reason. Pastor F was trying to show another father that a gun was a better gender neutral “toy” than the Little Mermaid doll that his child favored. Bravo!
If Fuerstein looks familiar, he is the attention-seeker who attempted to get Christians riled up about the Starbuck’s Christmas cup caper – a manufactured outrage which fizzled and died a natural death, spurned by Christians and non-Christians alike. The ‘pastor’ was so demoralized by the constructive criticism he received online, that he claimed he considered suicide. The man who called for violence is a delicate and sensitive soul – or a drama queen, you decide.
Just in case this video is deleted somehow – whether through divine intervention or dumb luck, here is the transcript. Pastor F appears to be lying in bed. What the video lacks in dynamic presentation, it makes up for in violent overtones.
What do you think? If yelling ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater is frowned upon, how far should hate talk and encouragement be allowed?
“Planned Parenthood has hunted down millions and millions of little innocent babies, stuck a knife into the uterus, cut them, pulled them out, crushed their skull with forceps, ripped their body apart, sold their tissue, and threw them bleeding into a trash bin.”
“I say, tonight, we punish Planned Parenthood. I think it’s time that abortion doctors should have to run and hide and be afraid for their life.”
