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.)

Oh, pish posh! The left & it’s Media don’t care what Obama says. They are good with him lying! Obama has to PRETEND to have a heart after all for the sake of the low info voter and idealistic youth.

Deflect from how they (Democrat-Communists) really feel about Christians and their leaders. Obama just as soon kill all white Christians and their children.

Obama was probably sincere so why would he waste the time? I think the left keeps digging a deeper hole to Hell.

I love it when the Left turns on its own.

If these people attack Obama, why on earth should we get along with them?

Thanks but no thanks.

This isn't about Billy Graham the person.

It's about Christianity and Billy Graham.

These people hate Christianity with a passion.

87% of black people identify as Christians.

Why do liberals hate black people?

Thank you for the post. I made that comment thinking I was on one of the threads where they trashed Graham.

Sorry about that folks.

My post # 26 on this thread was posted to the wrong thread.

I would not give someone grief over making good comments about Graham.

When are liberals not furious. They’re such angry people that keep getting sideswiped by reality.

Obama is trying to rescue his reputation after cozying up to Louis Farrakhan.

According to the article: 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.)

Obama was right when he said “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.”
Billy Graham was a humble servant of God who gave hope through preaching the Good news about Jesus.

The responses that pictured Billy Graham as a bigot and homophobic were entirely hateful and untrue.
