CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Rev. Billy Graham met with Jewish leaders in Cincinnati earlier this week and apologized for comments he made 30 years that a Jewish "stranglehold" of the media was ruining the country.

The meeting marked the first time that Graham has apologized face to face with Jewish leaders for the comments that were captured on audio tape during a 1972 meeting between Graham and then President Nixon, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Wednesday.

The 1972 conversation was among 500 hours of Nixon tapes released in March by the National Archives. In the conversation, Graham discussed his feelings about Jewish people and the media.

"This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country's going down the drain," he said to Nixon.

I suspect the real and deeper emphasis was on COMMIES within American Judaism specifically. And with communism in mind, I'd repeat it for him:

"This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country's going down the drain."

Leftists. Islamists. We're going to lose this war if it isn't carried to this enemy well within us.
