Franklin Graham Just Doesn’t Get It
Who does Franklin Graham think he is? Once again, he went on the airwaves to question whether President Obama is a Christian or not.
blockquote>Rev. Franklin Graham — son of Billy Graham — would not say if President Obama is a Christian during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Tuesday, insisting that “I cannot answer that question for anybody.” Franklin claimed that the President began attending Church to bolster his political career and is a Muslim under Islamic law. “Islam sees him as a son of Islam because his father was a Muslim, his grandfather was a Muslim, great grandfather was a Mulsim and so under Islamic law, the Muslim world sees Barack Obama as a Muslim,” Graham said, before explaining that he could not rule out the possibility that Obama may secretly be Muslim. “I can’t say categorically [that Obama is not a Muslim] because Islam has gotten a free pass under Obama,” he said.
He even went further by questioning whether Rmoney is a Christian, since “most Christians would not recognize Mormons as part of the Christian faith…”
Really? And who set Graham up as the judge of who is and isn’t a Christian? Surely it wasn’t his father. Or his grandfather. Or his great-grandfather.
When it comes to assholery, Graham really takes the cake. I also blame MSNBC for giving this rube a platform to spill his bile. Enough is enough. I just feel sorry for the thousands of gullible “believers” who send this guy money. Sounds a bit Jim Bakkerish to me.

Graham showed himself to be such a judgmental bigot this morning. I will say that they did a pretty good job of showing what a sham he is (better than Joe Scarborough would have done). On twitter the interview was trending and the reaction against Graham was tremendously overwhelming.
The positive here is that this all goes to further fire up POTUS’s base. Together with Santorum and the war on women’s health, it all goes to help our side while showing how out of touch they are with mainstream America.
Graham has been seen as out of the mainstream of Christianity for a while, unlike his Dad.
Anyone talking about who is and isn’t all jesussy and such while wearing 10k plus in clothes and jewelry really should be taken seriously or given a platform. Rather, they should be investigated for perpetuaing a grift. And giving the materialistic man-whore, FatBody a free pass on his word to boot? Sheeeeeeeeeiitt. I wonder what’s the diff? They never said this shit about Clinton and Carter.
Just call Obama what you really want to call him.
His father was a Jew hater and we have his own words on the Nixon’s tapes. this rotten apple didn’t fall far from the poison tree
