When last we saw Franklin Graham on the teevee, he was dabbling in birtherism and sowing doubt that the President of the United States is a Christian.
Well, he was at it again on Tuesday’s Morning Joe — playing the same little McCarthyist game with Obama’s Christianity as Republicans did with birtherism. “Well, he says he’s a Christian, so I accept that, but…”

Another bonus at the end: Graham wouldn’t say that Mitt Romney’s is Christian because, Graham said, he’s a Mormon and “most Christians don’t consider Mormons Christians.”
Lovely man.
