I'm not giving them a click.
Let me guess and if I'm wrong, I'll give it a click. My guess is Fox found some dipshit outlying opinion about Billy Graham and then proceeded to mold it into an us (conservative) vs them (the left) argument all the while encapsulating Fox's firm stance throughout the network's history of being the golden child who bravely and courageously stands up against the evil left (the side represented by this one outlier's point of view.)
Let me know if I'm wrong. And, btw, I'm not a lib or a republican.
She is just a troll, not sure why people give them a forum. She knows exactly what she is doing.
NIled it. It’s what they do! Make their money on dividing us. Disgusting.
You’d be incorrect. It’s this young, unprofessional, teenyboppers magazine writer. Unprovoked attack on a legend and good man who has passed away.I'm not giving them a click.

So the definition of an outlier, right?You’d be incorrect. It’s this young, unprofessional, teenyboppers magazine writer. Unprovoked attack on a legend and good man who has passed away.
I believe miss duca will be the person in hell.
It can all be attributed to the Holy Bible...read it.I agree with what @dbjork6317 said - Billy Graham was a fine man and did some unbelievable things in his life, but he is on the record as saying some terrible things about gays and Jews, and also had some very questionable opinions about women. Some of it could be attributed to just being from a different generation, but some of it is just bad no matter the time period.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and she certainly melted some snowflakes with hers.
I completely agree. One person shares an over the top opinion. It’s given merit by the opposing side, and soon this position will be applied to ‘they’ instead of just her.Honestly, I cant imagine anyone wasting their time worrying about what someone like whoever this girl is said. I don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about the lowest common denominator. I think it would be a terrible waste of time.
This is despicable. But some of the things Graham said about gays and Jews was despicable as well.
Not to mention his stance on segregation. But, people change as he did so who am I to judge.This is despicable. But some of the things Graham said about gays and Jews was despicable as well.

It’s amusing for me to see how upset people get for differences of opinion. ‘Far right person’ says people are too sensitive or easily offended. Yet ‘far right person’ complains or feigns outrage over every single thing a small faction of this country is offended by. NFL kneeling, transgenders wanting bathrooms, teen vogue writer calling out Billy Graham, gun control, you name it. These small groups are offended by their cause, ‘far right person’ is sensitive to every one of those issues combined together.
It’s a head scratcher to me.
George Will also wrote a weirdly insulting assessment of Graham in National Review: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/billy-graham-legacy-neither-prophet-nor-theologian/. I'm not sure Will really understands Christianity beyond its utility for culture or politics, though, so it makes sense that he would think of Graham as some kind of useless low-church person.
Can we stop using "snowflake" to describe everybody who disagrees with anything ever said? That wasn't the way it was originally used, which was to describe people who literally needed counseling just because of the presence in their midst of somebody they disagreed with.
No, I will continue to use it as I see fit. The term that I used was "melting snowflake". That is a term that has been used widely by conservatives to describe any non-conservative who has an issue with something that is said or done. I use it to show the irony of those same conservatives who jump on this board and express outrage at dumb shit like the OP's post.
Is a public voice a better determinant of oneself than a private one? Not saying he was anymore wrong than any one of us could be at any given moment. Just Curious what the ‘public’ part of your post has to do with anything?I'm not really sure what all you're referring to, but I don't think Graham said anything that was out of line with the orthodox Christian view of homosexuality. If you have a problem with him saying those things, you just have a problem with orthodox Christianity.
Apparently, he was on tape in President Nixon's office agreeing with a comment Nixon made about Jews controlling the media. That's too bad, but this wasn't a statement that was made in public, and I don't recall anything he said in public that was anti-Semitic.

I don’t hail the guy as a demigod or ‘America’s Pastor’
God bless the dead

And I’m not sure how saying something in private instead of in public somehow makes it better. In fact he literally comments on how he has to hide how he really feels about the Jews.
I’m not saying he was out of the main stream. I find the main stream to be pretty despicable.Well, there you go. Let's not make it out like Graham was somehow out of the mainstream.
Come to the conclusion that everybody just likes demonizing the other side. There is no real interest in actually solving any of our problems. Right wingers just like pissing off "lefty libs", and young people like saying things like "Burn in Hell, Billy Graham" or Dems holding up anyone who believes in the Second Amendment to be a child murderer.
Many people don't want to listen to anybody anymore, we just like trolling for sport, and feeding the anger within. It's a hell of a way to live, just trying to piss off people you don't agree with. It's certainly rampant here, and I'm sure I'll get some flip remarks off this.
Maybe it'll stop someday. But that day is a long way from now. I say this as a Democrat who actually believes that a lot of people on both sides have a lot of good in them, and hope someday that others can stop just seeing a party affiliation and painting them with the same broadly stupid brush.
Or maybe people could put down the Twitter for 5 god damn minutes and feel an emotion other than outrage. Like empathy.

Want to hear some dumb shit? Ellen DeGeneres called that woman in your avatar the mother of our country on her show today. LMAO.

Did he say it or did God say it in his word? If what he said was backed by scripture, rightly divided and compared scripture with scripture then it’s not his word, but God’s word! So many take God’s word out of context, a true man called by God to preach never will!This is despicable. But some of the things Graham said about gays and Jews was despicable as well.
