You go Rachel (Maddow)! ...

She was just doing a piece of Franklin Graham moving all his money (from his daddy's empire) out of Wells Fargo because they did a commercial of a SSM couple adopting a deaf child ... and he unknowingly moved that stack of money to a much, much more LGBT-Friendly bank.

Rachel ended the segment by say, "I so love that bank ... so much, I would marry it ... if it's a woman!"

unwittingly of course, for their role in the mortgage scandal.

Killed two birds with one stone, only he got it all a bit mixed up!

I wonder if Franklin Graham's real reason for moving the family's money was to save money. He will save $100,000 per year at BB&T. Did he just use the gay issue as a smoke screen? It seems that he, or someone at his company could have done some basic research to determine where BB&T stood on the gay marriage issue. Was this an honest mistake, or did he think no one would realize where BB&T stood on gay marriage?

into thinking that people in the Graham organization are concerned about religion at all?

Money=Greed=More Money=More Greed...etc.

Franklin Graham is just as big a dick as his dad, if not bigger.

You go, Rachel!
