CNN klagar på Franklin Graham som säger att Obama inte har kristna värderingar.

CNN bjöd in pastor Franklin Graham eftersom han ville prata om hur muslimer mördar kristna runtom i arabvärlden.


Det fick han inte tillfälle att prata om hos CNN.  Istället klagade CNN värden på att Franklin Graham har kritiserat Barack Obamas världssyn som går emot kristna värderingar. CNN värden som inte ens lyssnade på det Graham sade kommenterade i ren förvirring att artikeln han vill prata om handlade om att muslimer mördas, vilket är motsatsen till det som händer.


Bakgrunden till CNNs undran var Grahams tidigare intervju på den vänsterradikala Obama stödjande TV  kanalaen MSNBC där Graham uttryckt tvivel på att Obama var kristen. Så har skrev MSNBC om saken:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The son of Evangelist Billy Graham questioned President Barack Obama’s religious views in a controversial appearance on MSNBC Tuesday morning.

Evangelist Franklin Graham, Billy’s son, is the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Samaritan’s Purse.

“I think you are going to have to ask President Obama,” Graham replied. “I think people have to ask Barack Obama. He’s come out saying that he’s a Christian. The question is, what is a Christian?”When pressed on the question a second time, Graham said, “I cannot answer that question for anybody….I accept him at what he says. If says he’s a Christian, I accept that. I’m not going to say he’s not.”But while Graham was hesitant to opine about Obama, he had no issues with saying Republican Presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are Christian.

He was asked during an interview if he believes America’s President is a Christian.

"I believe so," Graham said of Santorum's views. "His values are clear."
"A lot of us who grew up in the Carolinas saw an immediate contrast between how Franklin handles wading into politics and religion, and how his father Billy Graham waded into politics and religion," said Withrop University professor Scott Huffmon.

Rev. Graham also opined about Egypt's turmoil, Obama’s Islamic background and other political issues.
Political experts say it was a depature from how the elder Graham advised presidents without becoming politically partisan.
