Again, this far-right obsession with the manly awesomeness of Vladimir Putin is just ... strange.

    Evangelist Franklin Graham is praising Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive crackdown on homosexuality, saying his record on protecting children from gay "propaganda" is better than President Barack Obama's "shameful" embrace of gay rights.

When you're praising Vladimir Putin's dedication to human rights, you're doing it wrong. You don't really have to put a lot of thought into figuring out that maybe a nation that responds to pro-equality demonstrations by whipping people is probably not your best go-to example of a nation doing it right. Unless, of course, you're into whipping people-Graham is a self-professed Man of God so that possibility can't be discounted.
