Bob Enyart


Bob Enyart is an American talk radio host and pastor of Denver Bible Church.
In 1999, he bought nearly $16,000 worth of O. J. Simpson memorabilia at an auction benefiting the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. He then led a group that set fire to the items on the steps of the Los Angeles courthouse where Simpson was acquitted in protest of the verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case.
Enyart has picketed the homes of doctors performing abortions, causing one Colorado town to ban such protests in residential neighborhoods. Enyart also angered families of AIDS victims when he read the men's obituaries on his television show calling the deceased a sodomite. Enyart has also led residential protests against executives of a company which provided construction services for Planned Parenthood offices leading to similar neighbor complaints. Enyart has criticised presidential candidates who do not share his view on abortion.
He is a proponent of corporal punishment of children saying that their "hearts are lifted" by spanking. He was convicted of misdemeanor child abuse in 1994 after beating his girlfriend's child with a belt so hard that the beating broke the skin.
A series of late night phone calls by Enyart to the general manager of the Kenosha, Wisconsin, station that carried his program but publicly disagreed with Enyart's views prompted Senator Russ Feingold to call for a Federal Communications Commission investigation to see if any laws had been broken by the talk show host.
In June 2009, Enyart was convicted of criminal trespass following a protest at Focus on the Family.
Enyart has been called a mid-Acts ultradispensationalist. "Ultradispensationalism" is the point of view that the Church was founded later than on the Day of Pentecost.
