Graham apologizes to Obama for Christian comments

[a kennedy]

Has this been posted?? Haven't seen it....

Evangelist Franklin Graham has apologized to President Obama for questioning his Christian faith during a cable television news interview.

"I regret any comments I have ever made which may have cast any doubt on the personal faith of our president, Mr. Obama," Graham said in a statement.

Graham, the son of Billy Graham, also said: "I apologize to him and to any I have offended for not better articulating my reason for not supporting him in this election -- for his faith has nothing to do with my consideration of him as a candidate."

Religion News Service, which broke the story, noted that "more than a dozen members of a religious subgroup of the NAACP had accused Graham of 'bearing false witness' and fomenting racial discord."

19. Exactly. (nt)

[Skidmore]

24. Yup. These words are intended to be in the public.

They should be called on the hit and run attacks.

4. "may have cast doubt"?

Graham is still not taking responsibility for what he said. If he means it, he'd say "I was wrong." He's still weaseling. Apologies to weasels.

5. Hey, frankie, go back to your drugs and whores.

Make your parents proud. Have you found all the hidden money yet ?

[liberal N proud]

5. These morons put this shit out there and then applogize

But they put the words out there, their moronic followers heard them and it is now taken as gospel by those mornic followers.

You can't take that shit back once it is out of the bag.

16. Kinda like "The jury shall disregard the statement."

It's out there ...

7. Sadly, the media will continue covering discredited religious hacks.

The words of these fools come from their own vanity, not from God.

8. That apology is dripping with insincerity....baby Graham, it is President Obama, NOT Mr Obama!

I am so sick of their thinly veiled disrespect towards your President.

9. Too late, Frankie, you can't "unsay" it. Oh, and by the way ... blow me.

10. Kind of a non-apology apology IMO

He's not sorry he said it, he's just sorry IF anybody was pissed off that he said it.

He should just go back to his tent and roll around on the sawdust floor with his snakes instead of involving himself in politics.

18. I had the same reaction

but to be fair he did also say " I regret my comments" not just "I'm sorry anyone was offended". Either way he's still a tool.

[one_voice]

11. Fuck him..

he should choke on his apology.

Christian my ass, you can't un-ring that bell.

These people make me sick!

[BigDemVoter]

17. Yeah, and he only apologized because

he was so soundly criticized. He's a H-O-G.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. "for his faith has nothing to do with my consideration of him as a candidate." Holy shit snacks! He

actually said something truthful. Of course it has nothing to do with faith. Faith to this dickhead is a racket. It has to do with him not wanting to pay his fair share.

[iemitsu]

22. or perhaps

its not president obama's faith that is objectionable to mr graham, but his ethnicity?

[RainDog]

13. he's a political hack and nothing more n/t

[libtodeath]

14. Who cares what

an idiot that talks to a sky fairy thinks anyways.

[AlinPA]

15. Robertson, Graham, Falwell, Santorum, Bachmann, Perry... they just keep coming.

[jillan]

20. A sincere apology would have been made immediately. This is a 'sorry I got caught' apology.

asshole!

[catbyte]

21. Typical non-apology apology

What a lying sack of shit. My sharpest memory of Graham is when he and Sarah Palin went to the indigenous villages in Alaska that were starving and fuel-less that Palin wouldn't help and they PASSED OUT COOKIES.
