The Media Research Center’s Tim Graham has been making statements in non-MRC venues of late.
Media Matters notes that Graham has tweeted about ABC’s Robin Roberts’ interview with Obama in which he revealed his support for same-sex marriage: “If black Christian voters still vote for Obama now, they’re not really Christians. Just like Robin Roberts for being such a lamb on ABC.”
That, of course, is nothing but Graham expanding upon the MRC’s anti-gay agenda, only this time he’s attacking the sincere beliefs of millions of Christians who don’t believe that gays are evil simply because they’re gay.
Then, Right Wing Watch highlights an interview Graham gave to right-wing radio host Janet Mefford, in which he claims that Obama’s same-sex marriage announcement was “a tragic moment for the country, a very dark moment, a very depressing moment.” He went on to say that it would be nice if anti-gay pastors like Harry Jackson could speak about same-sex marriage during interviews just as “he does at his church.”
Right Wing Watch responds: “Graham may be on to something, as TV interviews might be much more candid and exhilarating if Harry Jackson told the hosts at PBS or MSNBC that demonic forces, specifically the Queen of Heaven, are responsible for gay rights, just as he preaches in church.”
