If you're going to classify an entire religion as evil, you don't belong at government-sponsored events. If Clinton had brought Farrakhan in to speak at something, we would (rightly) be raising hell. Now we're supposed to cheer for a bigot like Franklin Graham... because he's our bigot. That's not good enough.

If all it takes to define a person as a "bigot" is that he expresses the conviction that his own beliefs are right and contrary beliefs are wrong, then every human that ever lived with a functioning brain is a bigot.

"If you're going to classify an entire religion as evil, you don't belong at government-sponsored events."
I would agree that one cannot, on behalf of the government, make such comments. But since when does having a certain opinion disqualify someone from participating in a government-sponsored event? And where is that in the constitution?

On a thread full of clues, you remain totally clueless.
