Fundie freak: 'Sad Omen' that Obama is seeking guidance from an 'openly homosexual bishop'
:crazy:



from the American Family Assn's OneNewsNow, the AP for the American Taliban:



Activist: 'Pastor to presidents' replaced by gay bishop
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 11/12/2008 6:50:00 AM


A conservative Christian activist says it's a sad omen for the Obama administration and the United States that Barack Obama has been seeking guidance from the Episcopal Church's first openly homosexual bishop.

The Times of London reports that the president-elect sought out New Hampshire homosexual bishop Vicki Gene Robinson for advice three times during his presidential campaign. Robinson, whose ordination in the Episcopal Church has caused a deep rift within the Anglican Communion, was reportedly sought out by Obama to discuss what it feels like to be "first."

Robinson notes in their three private conversations, Obama voiced his support for "equal civil rights" for homosexuals and described the election as a "religious experience." Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, believes Obama's consultations with Robinson show the true tenor of his upcoming administration.

"It looks like Billy Graham has been replaced by a gay bishop. We're moving to, perhaps, our first anti-Christian president; it's beyond post-Christian. Gene Robinson advocates homosexuality as part of the Christian experience," he explains. "Now Bible-believing Christians cannot accept that. Homosexual practice is sinful, as taught by the scriptures. This man (Obama) pretends to be faithful to Christianity, even as he works very hard to undermine it."

LaBarbera suggests Robinson may possibly replace Jeremiah Wright as one of Obama's main spiritual advisers. Wright was Obama's Chicago pastor for 20 years before disassociating with the controversial preacher during the presidential campaign.

1. Well, maybe the racist Billy Graham should have agreed to meet with Obama
instead of telling him to fuck off.

4. I'm not certain the elderly Graham has the capacity to dis Obama
these days. He's in pretty bad shape, and isn't likely to be acting nasty while he has one foot in the proverbial grave.

His son, Franklin Graham, however, is a SOB. He and his sister are fighting over how to perpetuate their father's celebrity so they can rake in a few more bucks over it. And it doesn't surprise me one bit that Franklin announced to the nation that his father was too ill to be of counsel to the new president.

I hope President-Elect Obama loses Franklin's phone number.

5. Obama reaching out to the gay community
It's a very small token, but perhaps he's letting gays know that he's thinking of them.

8. it shows that he's not afraid to reach out to one of the most prominent
gay figures in America for advice. That may not be a big thing, but it is a good thing.

7. How Is That An Omen?
An omen of what. It's open and obvious and if he's worried about the "spread of homosexuality" than Obama's meeting with this guy is the whole problem for him. That means it's not an omen.

This guy is an idiot.

9. I try not to speak about what I do not know.
Billy Graham is 90 years old and in failing health. He is not Jim Baker;. he is not Jimmy Swaggart; he is not Jerry Falwell. He and his late wife Ruth lived a modest life in western North Carolina. Billy Graham is a life long Democrat who has had associations with past presidents and would continue to do so if it was possible. Yes, he is a Christian but all Christians aren't demons and all demons aren't Christian. As far as Franklin and any other relatives? They will be scrutinized and "judged", if you will, on their own doings.

No, Billy Graham isn't Christ off the cross. He isn't and wasn't perfect no more than any of us are without flaws. However he is a cut above and I'm sure President elect Obama would be the first to agree.
