Quote for the day

Franklin Graham is under fire today. He should be. His double standards have cost the church. This mistake should not define him — he has done much good and preached the Gospel faithfully for many years — but it should grieve him. Through his blatant hypocrisy, he has earned his critics’ wrath.

David French, National Review

Franklin Graham degenerated into a cartoon character years ago; criticism of him per se doesn’t especially interest me.

What makes this quote interesting is the implicit criticism of the Evangelical Right from National Review, a stalwart of conservative thought. When even they overtly express disdain for Graham et. al., you know the movement he represents is in its self-inflicted death throes.
