WaPo remembers Billy Graham with a blitz of mean-spirited screeds
American Thinker ^ | 02/22/2018 | Monica Showalter

The body of the Rev. Billy Graham was not even cold before the Washington Post came out with at least three hostile opinion pieces about the man as a means of remembering him.

Seriously?  This is the man who once asked believers: if Christianity were illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Someone who had the grace to say things like this?

Someone asked me recently if I didn't think God was unfair, allowing me to have Parkinson's and other medical problems when I have tried to serve him faithfully.  I replied that I did not see it that way at all.  Suffering is part of the human condition, and it comes to us all.  The key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer to him in trust and confidence.

Without the resurrection, the cross is meaningless.

Believers, look up – take courage.  The angels are nearer than you think.

To hear the Washington Post tell it, you'd think Graham was some kind of beast.  He was a horrible father, whose time on the road evangelizing left an embittered wife and screwed up kids, according to this historian.  That's the way he should be remembered, for all the influence he exerted and all the people who said he helped them in their lives?  Or this: He was vain, stupid, and un-prophet-like, according to columnist George Will, who went into the weeds of Graham's ministry to U.S. presidents, something most people see as a benign and unimportant sideline of Graham's.  Or this: He gave us the monster of evangelical Christianity as a political force, according to this egghead's analysis, and that can't be forgiven.

Likely his body had not yet reached room temperature when they were putting this to bed.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

The Left burns with hatred for him. For us too.
Vote accordingly because they will be out in force on election day.

The Democrat media is dedicated to doing Satan’s work of destroying the followers of Jesus.

The comments after the WaPo hit piece were revolting.

Success, and especially resounding success, breads jealousy and envy of the darkest sort, provoking some eccentric folks into totally disproportional response, spewing dark assertions and accusations, with no foundation in fact, but mostly of projections from their own inner selves.

Billy Graham was a good and righteous man, in many ways resembling the Biblical prophets, and he bore no false witness, so far as may be determined. But others have had no such moral constraint, and they somehow believe that to destroy a virtuous person would endow them with some small virtue of their own.

They are right, it is very small virtue.

His passing was on the local Fox (ATL) affiliate.
The story wasn’t about BG’s life and legacy.
The story was twisted into Mike King’s (MLK’s) life and legacy.

Disgusting!

Liberals love to hold conservative accountable to conservative standards.

Liberals run no such risk because they have no values to live up to.

It all makes sense when you realize that the left, of which the wapo is a prime spokesman, hates Christians and wants them eliminated, after taking all their money.

I guess George Will figured he had to write something for this occasion. I could have lived without it, but that’s what he does, nasty little insufferable putz that he is.

Well, they just don’t have any kind of sex or money scandal they can point to in remembrance of Billy Graham, so they are left with only their hate to offer.

They hired John Pedosta, so yes, what you say is true.
