Franklin Graham "pals around" with Sarah Palin.

Graham owns a second home in Alaska, where he got to be good buds with Palin.

He has labeled Islam a "wicked and evil" religion.

He admits to having a fondness for booze in his younger days.

More interesting tidbits are at the link below that would suggest Franklin isn't so much as continuing in his father's footsteps as he is vying for a show on Fox News.

with Palin and other Dominionists for a long time. Dominionism is scary.

That's one reason that I have never believed that the choice of Palin as VP candidate was as accidental as it seemed. I know McCain didn't have a clue. However, I have always wondered if there was an unseen hand moving to position her.

during the fuel and food crisis Native villages in Alaska faced when $arah was still governor. Instead of providing actual food & fuel to these villages, when $arah and Franklin visited these villages, they passed out cookies and offered to pray.



Fuck you, Franklin Graham and the phony religion you represent.
