Franklin Graham's problem is that he was born an idiot, his father was an idiot
"I think Franklin Graham's problem is that he was born an idiot, his father was an idiot. The seed of Idiocy is passed through the father like the seed of compassion is passed through the mother. He was born an idiot, his father gave him an idiot brain," Grantcart told CNN's John King in a televised interview that aired Thursday night.

"Now it's obvious that Graham has renounced many of his father's outdated trappings, and he has renounced small venue televangelism, and he has accepted leadership in the most profitable part of his dad's remnant ministry and has used the mailing list well. That's what he says he has done. I cannot say that he hasn't. So I just have to believe that Graham is what he has said," Grancart continued, adding that "idiots the world over sees Graham as one of theirs."

2. There is a bit of revisionist history going on
On a few occasions I have seen commentators state that Franklin is being political unlike his father. What a load of shit.

4. During the civil rights era when pastors were getting beaten up and

imprisoned no one was quieter than Graham Sr. You don't get more political than that.

What they meant to say was that Graham was non partisan which was true from his point of view. If a person had a 'personal relationship with Christ (sic)' then he didn't care what party he was.

3. The First Family of Religious Goppomposity
A blast of Far Righteous Sanctimonious BS, distorting the Word of God to fit the Republican message.

Shakedown artists aren't the idiots in the money exchange.
The believers are.

7. Franklin didn't fall far from the tree,
but he DID fall on his head.

IIRC, his daddy was caught on one of the Nixon tapes disparaging the Jews, and only apologized when it was made public.

I'm glad his mother isn't still alive to see this.
