Can anyone throw light on the meaning of this?

6 MN politicans' homes defaced

Quote:

When Laurie Coleman, wife of U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, hauled her trash to the alley at 7:30 Wednesday morning, a chilling sight greeted her.

Sprayed in black on the wooden siding of the garage behind the couple's St. Paul home, in letters nearly a foot high: "U R A CRIMINAL RESIGN OR ELSE! PSALM 2" On the alley side, "SCUM" was scrawled across both garage stall doors and a wooden partition in between.

. . .

The invocation of Psalm 2 also does little to shed light on possible motives. Sometimes called the coronation psalm, it refers to rulers who have displeased God and risk his wrath, said William Barnes, a professor of Hebrew and the Old Testament at North Central University in Minneapolis. "I took it to a meeting [of biblical scholars] today and we just don't know what to make of it," he said. "It's not something we've commonly seen used in a political context."

Psalm 2

All I can think, is that Coleman is Jewish, and Psalm 2 contains the following:

"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him."

Some evangelical neuvo-Nazi lunatic perhaps?

"Why do the heathen rage" (Ps 2:1)? Any good fundamentalist will tell you it is because they (the heathen) do not know God's will like God's people do. There are thousands of religious pamphlets and tracts with that verse, usually referring to the old Soviet Union or the Arabs, obliquely referring to what they perceive as end-time prophesies referring to the AntiChrist and the War of Armegeddon from the Book of Revelation.

You are aware that just today the ATF announced they had broken up a plot by white supremisicts to kill 88 people (8th letter is H, as in Heil Hitler) and behead 14 of them, then kill Barak Obama. Those politicians were 2 Democrats and four Republicans. Extremists hate everybody equally. The plotters lived in Tenn & Arkansas, probably close together (near Memphis, I'd guess).
