Clintons Join Billy Graham for Final Revival - (BARF ALERT!)

FOX NEWS.COM ^ | JUNE 25, 2005 | A/P

[CHARLITE]

As his final American revival meeting continued Saturday, a fragile Billy Graham (search) was met onstage by former President Clinton, who honored the evangelist, calling him "a man I love."

Clinton spoke briefly before Graham's sermon and recalled how the man known as America's pastor had refused to preach before a segregated audience in Arkansas decades ago when that state was in a bitter fight over school desegregation.

"I was just a little boy and I'll never forget it," said Clinton, who was joined by his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (search). "I've loved him ever since. God bless you, friend."

Graham called the Clintons "wonderful friends" and "a great couple," quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow "his wife to run the country."

Graham, 86, then launched into a short sermon that was interupted by applause five times. Organizers estimated 80,000 people had come to the crusade at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens — about 20,000 more than the opening night Friday. The rally ends Sunday.

The evangelist is suffering from fluid on the brain, prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease. He uses the walker due to a pelvic fracture and is largely confined to his home in Montreat, N.C. He had said previously that the rally "will be the last in America, I'm sure."

Yeah ... they mellow.

Someday soon he'll be missed.

Since many many there are brand new Christians, and not grounded yet, they can be easily deceived. My thoughts were for them.


Thanks for the mental imagine! :)

"Billy Graham is a life Long Democrat. This is not unusual!"

I don't know that is true.

If he was a Demoncrat he certainly doesn't advocate what the Demoncrats advocate today - socialism, abortion, homosexuality etc. He may be a Zell Miller Southern Democrat if he is a Democrat at all.

[Fudd Fan]

Every local NYC news had this bite of Bubba on it. Boy he can insert his lyin' puss into everything he possibly can, even a Billy Graham crusade. And that remark about Hitlery running the country? What is WRONG with him?! eeuuww

[Fudd Fan]

Graham called the Clintons "wonderful friends" and "a great couple,"

If Rev. Graham thinks these two were EVER a couple, he's quite gullible.

[farmer18th]

I think I'm going to be sick! I sure wish Reverend Graham hadn't said that little quip about Bill evangelizing and Hitler run the country..........too many people might not take it as a light-hearted joke....they may take it as gospel......no pun intended.

You've got that right. I'm a believing Christian, but I think Billy Graham is either a very shallow dupe, or a genuinely evil man.

[farmer18th]

If he was a Demoncrat he certainly doesn't advocate what the Demoncrats advocate today - socialism, abortion, homosexuality etc.

When he calls the Clintons "great people" capable of "running the country," that's effectively what he's endorsing. Billy Graham is either terribly stupid or terribly evil.

I wasphysically there. I heard and saw how he said it. It was a gentle joke. People chuckled. It was NOT an endorsement of any kind.

It doesn't matter if you were "physically there," words are words. They mean things. A man of God doesn't even joke about a Jezebel running the country. I repeat my contention: he has either lost his mind or he is a servant of the Devil. (Remember when Graham undermined the underground church in Russia?) He sold out for benefits and pensions years ago, and genuine Christians would do well to ignore this old idiot.

It DOES matter that I was PHYSICALLY there and you were NOT.

It was a JOKE. Everyone laughed. It was said in a JOKING manner. Christians are ALLOWED to LAUGH and JOKE around. This is NOT a SIN.

He has not "lost his mind" nor "is he a servant of the devil".

"(Remember when Graham undermined the underground church in Russia?) He sold out for benefits and pensions years ago, and genuine Christians would do well to ignore this old idiot."

NO. And I suspect ONLY YOU "remember" that. What utter nonsense.

Maybe you were there ... there was an old guy holding up a sign saying "GOD caused 9/11" and another kook held up a sign saying "Billy Graham leads you to hell". Maybe you were one of those sign holders.


You really need to lighten up!

[farmer18th]

You really need to lighten up!

There's nothing "light" about hell, brother. Ignore the commentary if you want, but take a look at some of beloved Billy's quotes:

If you think a playful interlude between Billy and two people who advocate increased abortion is light-hearted stuff, than you are powerfully decieved.

[Fudd Fan]

Well at least SHE does.

[nmh]

No one said hell is funny.

BG did NOT advocate abortion etc..

BG was NOT plugging Hillary. It was a joke and people LAUGHED.

You're website is not credible.

I don't know why you hate BG. All he wants to do is lead people to Christ. He's very straight forward. He speaks plainly and all the paranoid website that lie about his purpose and what he actually says, won't change that fact.

[farmer18th]

I don't know why you hate BG. All he wants to do is lead people to Christ. He's very straight forward. He speaks plainly.

Yes, he grins and laughs about Hillary running the country, thus leaving thousands of ignorant, baby, union member Christians to believe that God has no say about their vote. Billy Graham might as well put horns on his head and shake a pitchfork around. You're just as bad as a Mormon defending his prophet or a Muslim defending a jihadist.

[nmh]

Did it ever occur to your self righteous critical mind that perhaps BG was trying to extend a hand to old Bill? To turn around and fly straight in a gentle way?

Do you always believe sensational websites that take quotes out of context?

I tried to help you with what I witnessed ans still you wish to believe the worst. So sad.

[farmer18th]

..if your brother sins, REBUKE him, and IF HE REPENTS, forgive him...

THAT is the Christian model--the one that Billy wants to ignore, so that he can worship his own belly.

"...Graham ...quipping that the former president [Clinton] should become an evangelist and allow "his wife to run the country. ... The evangelist is suffering from fluid on the brain..."

Water on the brain, huh? And what excuse do those who "follow him" have if they agree with THAT recommendation?

"The point is that "compartmentalization" is, was, and always will be a pernicious myth. If you are a gifted and relentless liar in one sphere of life, you will in all likelihood be a liar in all spheres of life."

"Former White House press secretary Mike McCurry noted, according to Howard Kurtz, "The White House lies about everything; our credibility is zero." Democrat Bob Kerrey said, "Clinton's an unusually good liar. Unusually good." Barney Frank, one of the president's most vociferous defenders, lamented that he wished the president just "would stop" lying. The New York Times was vexed by the president's "mysterious passion for lying" and penchant for "lying about his lies." About the president's tendency to lie, Robert Reich regretted "not simply the fact of it ... but its passionate intensity." The New Republic's Andrew Sullivan noted of Bill Clinton that "from the beginning, Clinton has lied with indiscriminate abandon. He has lied about genocide and he has lied about his golf scores." He adds, "Every label he has attached to himself, every public position he has taken, has smacked of opportunism, not conviction, self-interested deceit, not public-interested candor."

"Another trait the Clinton's have in common, Milton found, is their ability to avoid the truth. "They both lie, even when they don't have to," Milton told CNS."

Why would you think that some thought they needed a gay highschool?

Surely there are not gay youngsters? Surely there are not teens having problems with realizing that they have not developed the same interest in the opposite sex as their friends?

So, unless there are young teens that are having problems of some sort - just don't see the question would even come up. Who would attend? Those seeking depravity as a lark? Those wanting their peers to mock them and call them .>>>>>>.

Just which teenager would choose to go to a school full of gayness? Why they would be the laughing stock of all their peers.

[ClancyJ]

The Clintons have no class, have never had class and never will have class. So, realize that it was the Clintons taking advantage of an opportunity to sway voters that maybe they too have religion and the good will of Billy Graham.

Just why is Billy Graham to use his event to bring people to the Lord as a time to take jabs at a former president. Not his style and not the time or place.
