When Jane Fonda went to Hanoi, right wingers called it treason.
Now we have Franklin Graham embracing and endorsing military action against allies of the United States. I do not expect the amoral hypocrites on the American right to utter a word of protest. Intellectual honesty and integrity is not something that is commonly found among 21st century conservatives.

This man is pure evil wearing the Christian cloak.

And this guy as well as all the other faux xtians are wailing that there is a war against them…ahem, you are the ones waging war against America and Americans.

that’s the kind of mindless comment that made your 50’s with joe so wonderful for the free speech movement – move on!

I gave it quite a lot of thought. My largest regret was that I forgot to capitalize Hades. If you and your like minded friends feel that Putin is doing such a good job then by all means leave. Graham expressed his feelings about the United States of America, no one is keeping him here in the US, unless he wants to fleece the gullible out of their savings to line his pockets.

He is not in our country, no government is topping him and he should keep his bigoted ass in russia.

So much for expecting patriotism from a Christian fundamentalist, hmm?
It would be charitable to say he’s lost his mind when he never had one.
Tommie November 2nd, 2015 at 22:15
Maybe Mr. Graham should move to Russia since in America we have freedoms which includes speech!
Larry Schmitt November 3rd, 2015 at 05:27
Including the freedom for him to continue to say the hateful things he says.
Tommie November 3rd, 2015 at 09:57
True!
Larry Schmitt November 3rd, 2015 at 10:18
If he did go to Russia (other Americans have gone there before, and found it wasn’t the paradise they had been led to believe), and the government decides they don’t like fundies anymore, he’ll quickly find out he has no freedom to talk about it publicly, the way he can here.

It’s not just enough to hate here, but he’s got to go overseas and do it to.

Fascism and fundamentalist christianity are very very similar.

wrong.

Vlad is a spook. Spooks tend to be fascists, without regard to the ideology they live under.

LGBT procreate via IVF and their chosen donor colleagues just like many others. “cannot have children”-Franklin Graham’s private jet elevator doesn’t grift all the way to his top floor.

Maybe Vlad is overcompensating… maybe his secret nickname is Vlad the Impaler, Queen of Wallachia.

“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? ”
Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
Matthew 22:36-40 (American King James Version)
Franklin Graham – so Christian he doesn’t care what Christ supposedly said.
Buford2k11 November 3rd, 2015 at 08:06
Ha, here ya go…another traitor to our Nation….the grahams are but one of many wealthy christians who care not for others…they prove it day in and day out…they spread hate, and fear…we have been warned about people like this…the Bible warned us, and some of our more famous Founding Fathers warned us….we have been duly warned, now is the time to get rid of these people from our government, and it is past the time to confront these people for their lies…

What a sick, sick f***er. And a traitor to this country.

Graham is just another tax-exempt, rich corporatist preying on easily frightened, feeble-minded, batsh*t-crazy freaks for money. They want to hear “God hates f*gs”, he gives it to them, and they throw money at him. It’s a simple get-rich tactic, and it’s how organized religion works. All hail the almighty $.
maggie November 3rd, 2015 at 16:50
Graham can just stay in Russian as far as I’m concerned ;)

The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power.
