Franklin Graham Says Obama, Tucson Memorial Service 'Scoffed' at Jesus

President Obama garnered praise from across the political spectrum for his moving speech last week at the memorial service for the Tucson shooting victims, including from his usual critics on the right, but the Rev. Franklin Graham can't be counted among them.

In a speech on Tuesday at John Brown University, a private Christian college in Siloam Springs, Ark., the son of the revered evangelist Billy Graham voiced "dismay" at the way the Tucson memorial service was conducted, arguing that it was not as explicitly religious -- apparently meaning "Christian" -- as those following the Oklahoma City bombing and the 9/11 attacks.

Graham was particularly upset that the Tucson memorial featured a Native American who called upon "father sky and mother earth," according to a Christian Post account of Graham's chapel service comments.

That's it, it was creepy. Even Franklin Graham commented on it the other day. I can't remember the exact quote but, it had something to do with the Indian, whoever he was, speaking at the beginning at about father sky and mother earth worship or prayer. No Pastor or Priest spoke.

This is what Franklin said: ... the memorial for the Oklahoma City bombing and a prayer service after 9/11 called upon the name of God, the Tucson memorial featured an Indian man who was calling upon "father sky and mother earth." "There was no call for God to put His loving arms around those who were hurting," he observed. "Why did they leave him out? They scoff at the name of Jesus Christ." He said the scoffing and persecution against believers of Christ is only going to get worse.

This President and his administration is pure evil parading as light. God help us if he doesn't lose in 2012. It will only embolden him and it's gonna get ugly.

Hey, don't criticize.

It was the best a Muslim Marxist fag could come up with.
