http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/franklin-graham-demands-jewish-justice-ginsburg-follow-christian-beliefs-on-gay-marriage/Christian evangelist Franklin Graham invited his Facebook followers to pray for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Saturday, saying they should pray that her eyes would be opened to the truth of Scripture so that she would vote against marriage equality, Inquisitr reports.
But Ginsburg is Jewish and not likely a follower of his version of scripture.
Today, lets focus our prayers on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has served on the Court for over two decades, Graham wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday. Those who support same-sex marriage consider her an ally in their fight to toss Gods Holy Word aside.
As the Supreme Court continues to deliberate over the constitutionality of same-sex marriage, he continued, lets pray that Justice Ginsburgs eyes would be opened to the truth of Scripture and that she would not be deceived by the arguments of those who seek to impose their new morality on our nation.

(16,113 posts)The kind that use words or phrases not supported by the article itself. Words like "demands". I didn't see anything in the article that would even suggest Graham "demanded" anything of Ginsburg, but I think the spin for the story was written before the writer even listened to what Graham said.
And by the way, Graham can go "F" himself anyway, I'm no fan of all his horseshit, I just don't like shitty journalism either.

Apparently he inherited his anti-semitic views from his Shit-Hole of a father, good old Billy who liked to beat it with Tricky Dick Nixon. . .
Obviously the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. What a Fuck Bucket. . . .

(5,829 posts)Why is it that I, an atheist, seems to know more about Judeo-Christian tenets than a supposed leader of Christianity?
Of course, never mind that religious tenets are not the basis of SCOTUS' decision-making. Except f/ Scalia & maybe Alito...
Hey, Graham! This not now, nor has ever been a 'Christian nation.'

by Alexander Cockburn
CounterPunch MARCH 12, 2002
Theres a piquant contrast in the press coverage across the decades of Billy Grahams various private dealings with Nixon, as displayed on the tapes gradually released from the National Archive or disclosed from Nixons papers. Ill come shortly to the recent flap over Graham and Nixons closet palaverings about the Jews, but first lets visit another interaction between the great evangelist and his commander in chief Back in April, l989 a Graham memo to Nixon was made public. It took the form of a secret letter from Graham, dated April 15, 1969, drafted after Graham met in Bangkok with missionaries from Vietnam. These men of God said that if the peace talks in Paris were to fail, Nixon should step up the war and bomb the dikes. Such an act, Graham wrote excitedly, "could overnight destroy the economy of North Vietnam".
Graham lent his imprimatur to this recommendation. Thus the preacher was advocating a policy to the US Commander in Chief that on Nixons own estimate would have killed a million people. The German high commissioner in occupied Holland, Seyss-Inquart, was sentenced to death at Nuremberg for breaching dikes in Holland in World War Two. (His execution did not deter the USAF from destroying the Toksan dam in North Korea, in 1953, thus deliberately wrecking the system that irrigated 75 per cent of North Koreas rice farms.)
This disclosure of Graham as an aspirant war criminal did not excite any commotion when it became public in 1989, twenty years after it was written. I recall finding a small story in the Syracuse Herald-Journal. No one thought to chide Graham or even question him on the matter. Very different has been the reception of a new tape revealing Graham, Nixon and Haldeman palavering about Jewish domination of the media and Graham invoking the "stranglehold" Jews have on the media.
On the account of James Warren in the Chicago Tribune, who has filed excellent stories down the years in Nixons tapes, media, in this 1972 Oval Office session between Nixon, Haldeman and Graham, the President raises a topic about which "we cant talk about it publicly," namely Jewish influence in Hollywood and the media.
Nixon cites Paul Keyes, a political conservative who is executive producer of the NBC hit, "Rowan and Martins Laugh-In," as telling him that "11 of the 12 writers are Jewish." "That right?" says Graham, prompting Nixon to claim that Life magazine, Newsweek, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and others, are "totally dominated by the Jews." Nixon says network TV anchors Howard K. Smith, David Brinkley and Walter Cronkite "front men who may not be of that persuasion," but that their writers are "95 percent Jewish."
