That Racist Asshole Billy Graham Can Go Fuck Himself

[stopbush]

"Vote biblical principles (sic)."

Fuck you, asshole.

Somebody had to say it.

[bimbocoles]

2. He'll put the reference to mormonism being a cult back on his website after Romney loses

[bluestateguy]

3. Vote biblical principles: Will do

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Matthew 25:40

[JI7]

4. yup, fuck him

[Divine Discontent]

5. When he was younger, he didn't say crap like this from what I remember

clearly senility or just plain racism have overcome his brain...

[Skittles]

10. no, that bastard has always been racist

but the election of Obama made sooooo many racists simply unable to hide their true feelings

[GallopingGhost]

11. I also remember him as one of the more

temperate evangelicals, but now I believe he is senile.

[Divine Discontent]

14. yep, that's how I always saw him, and I'm very sure

there was a time he was not batshit crazy on gays also, but that changed too, and he became hard right on it recently, then this outrage of having his own website that said Mormonism was a cult, now ignored as he backed Romney for president with that "cult" reference still up the day he endorsed Mittens! UGH! He is clearly senile and being led astray. God help him for he surely is near the end as either his true feelings are coming out in his senility or he's merely being told what to say as his "beliefs" and they're using a lost old man.

[oldhippydude]

17. he lost me in 68... when he supported the Viet Nam war

because we were standing against "Godless Communism"

[wildeyed]

26. Franklin Graham is probably behind this, more that anyone. n/t

[GallopingGhost]

30. Probably.

From the moment Romney secured the nomination, I have wondered how the right-wing evangelicals would handle the quandry of supporting a candidate whose religion they have always panned.

To flip and pander as he has done, to me, shows that their so-called faith is one big phony show.

JMHO.

[JDPriestly]

22. He has been saying this same ugly stuff all of his life. Sorry.

I remember him from my early years. He was always a horrible person.

On edit. He was always more interested in getting a lot of attention, drawing big crowds, making the scene than he was in living the humble Christian life, serving others, loving his fellow human beings, sharing, giving to the poor and all the things that Jesus instructed Christians to do.

Billy Graham was always mostly really about Billy Graham. And the same can be said of most of the sensationalist evangelists.

I would like to know how much wealth Billy Graham has accumulated over his lifetime. I would also like to know how large an organization he managed at the peak of his career.

He was always quite an operator. In contrast, this country is full of genuine, sincere pastors who care for their communities and ask very little. Billy Graham was not one of the humble.

[obamanut2012]

27. Yes, he did

He also has always been hugely anti Jewish. That is a FACT.

[LiberalFighter]

29. Nah his age doesn't have anything to do with it.

He was racist and anti-Semitic when he was younger.

Currently, I believe it is his son that is doing the poisoning now. Graham is probably clueless on what is happening right now.

[Angry Dragon]

6. I think there is a backstory

When was the last time you heard Billy say anything??
All these words are coming from his fake preacher son

So if you want to bitch out anyone it should be frank

[Divine Discontent]

15. that's highly possible, indeed. n/t

[cali]

23. No, he's always said horrendous bigoted things.

If his son is speaking for him now, he's only following in Billy's racist, anti-semitic pig homophobic footsteps.

[davidthegnome]

7. Biblical Principles?

Which ones? Are we looking at the old testament or the new? If you take it altogether, then attempt to define biblical principles... you end up with quite a confusing jumble of contradictions.

[stopbush]

20. Billy The Asshole ran a full-page ad in the NYT saying vote for "traditional marriage"

and other "biblical principles.

This from the guy who had anti-semitic remarks to Nixon:

Nixon And Billy Graham
Anti-Semitism Caught On Tape
By James Warren
Chicago Tribune staff reporter
3-1-02

Rev. Billy Graham openly voiced a belief that Jews control the American media, calling it a "stranglehold" during a 1972 conversation with President Richard Nixon, according to a tape of the Oval Office meeting released Thursday by the National Archives.

"This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain," the nation's best-known preacher declared as he agreed with a stream of bigoted Nixon comments about Jews and their perceived influence in American life.

"You believe that?" Nixon says after the "stranglehold" comment.

"Yes, sir," Graham says.

"Oh, boy," replies Nixon. "So do I. I can't ever say that but I believe it."

"No, but if you get elected a second time, then we might be able to do something," Graham replies.

Later, Graham mentions that he has friends in the media who are Jewish, saying they "swarm around me and are friendly to me." But, he confides to Nixon, "They don't know how I really feel about what they're doing to this country."

The Nixon-Graham remarks came during a 90-minute session after a prayer breakfast the men attended on Feb. 1, 1972.

8. I've chalked it up mostly to senility, as Graham must be older than Methuselah by now ~nt

9. Are you sure its not Franklin moving Billy's lips?

[progressoid]

18. Franklin?

Oh, not this Franklin:

I just finished re-watching this whole series again.

[DJWBlue]

12. Couldn't have said it better myself. Glad somebody finally did.

[mzmolly]

13. He must mean, vote for a leader that cares about the poor

and the sick?

Will do, Mr. Graham.

[Divine Discontent]

16. someone needs to challenge him in Christian circles, as an old tired man being used by his extremely

hateful son...

[flying-skeleton]

19. Graham who?

[ErikJ]

21. God, Gays , Guns and Groin.

[Suji to Seoul]

24. Jesus Christ always said "fuck the poor, the middle class and love the wealthy."

"Let those with sin cast as many stones as they want." "Turn plows into swords."

I'm not Christian, so I don't know the New Testament, but those all sound like Jesus to me!

Fuck you, Billy!

[2pooped2pop]

25. If they knew their biblical principles like they think they do...

then they would vote Obama. We all know it. The radical Xtian right has tossed aside all of the "teachings" and has gone with something completely opposite. Weren't they warned this would happen?

Why aren't they worried about the white horse prophecy and the takeover of the US by the Mormon Church who apparently have sworn a blood oath against the US. (according to that film going around "Behind the veil&quot

[JiminyJominy]

28. Billy

had become a lot more moderate in the 90s and seemed to be drifting to the center. he had gained the respect of a lot of people on the left even.

something happened though in the last 10 yrs or so. and i think it had to do with his son Franklin. Franklin is a far right extremist and Billy has been influenced back to the right by his son.

whatever the case...they are both dangerous people and shouldn't get any attention.
