Liberals Furious After Obama Praises Billy Graham
Daily Caller ^ | 2-21-2018 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 02/21/2018 7:43:24 PM PST by Colonel Kangaroo

Former President Barack Obama sparked a liberal backlash by praising Rev. Billy Graham, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 99.

“Billy Graham was a humble servant who prayed for so many – and who, with wisdom and grace, gave hope and guidance to generations of Americans,” Obama wrote on Twitter, shortly after news of Graham’s death became public.

Liberals lashed out at Obama for not trashing Graham after death for the preacher’s Christian beliefs about gay marriage. (Obama, it’s worth noting, also opposed gay marriage when he first ran for president in 2008.)

The left has gone totally rabid. They need to be put down.

Ha ha...

I have respect for people of faith.

Secular liberals have contempt for them is why they don’t understand why normal Americans have such reverence for the late Rev. Graham.

Only when we have a relationship with God, can we find the strength to endure life and live it well.

Surprised Obola didn’t turn into a pillar of salt in that pic.

The concept of diplomacy has disappeared for most Liberals.
They clearly need their very own country, roped off and under constant surveilance.

So the Left’s response to godliness.....is hatred.

I’d be furious too, if I were one of Graham’s family, to have him praised by an anti-American racist.

When arrogant snotty punk Obola looks good by comparison, you know you have sunk way low.

Stray from the agenda, and you will be vilified. Apparently doesn’t matter who you are, you must stay on message. No real diversity is accepted.

Not necessarily, he’s just following protocol. “You shall know them by their works.” Obozo is a rabid leftist, all form and no substance.

Liberals are so crazy and fueled by hate they couldn’t take a moment to step back even when their guy (blind squirrel/broken clock) had respectful words to say.

It’s only words. This said w/o knowing what was said, only who said it.

The individual can give nothing from the heart as he has no heart. He feels little compassion for anyone, other than himself. Words are ALL he has. His moral fiber is bankrupt.
Liberals may get irate, but being of the same flock, they will soon forget and continue to follow their leader, continuing to agree with most of the agenda.

Is this the only thing to ever agree with former pResident Barry on?

I don’t like the guy and I don’t care for him.

For a lot of liberals, showing respect for the dead seems like an affectation.

That’s why I find no common ground with people who don’t fear God.
