There is no version of the Far-Right Rev. Franklin Graham's argument here that does not point, like the infamous Aggie pistol, right back at the Rev. himself.
Brendan James at TPM:
The Rev. Franklin Graham on Wednesday hypothesized that President Obama's hesitancy to fight the Islamic State terror group was because Obama's mother "must have been a Muslim."

Billy Graham has not yet shuffled off this mortal coil, has he?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Franklin is nowt but a grifter, and grifters gotta grift.
Bobby, you are right: according to Wikipedia, he is 96. I did not know. I certainly did not intend to send Billy to his reward before his time, but I confess to seeing his longevity as proof of the old saying: only the good die young...
