THIS IS PURE GARBAGE!
Larry Ross, director of Media and PR for the Graham Association told Mother Jones, “It would be highly unusual and out of character for Mr. Graham to initiate such a meeting, and there has been no contact between the McCain campaign and his office.
“In fact, Mr. Graham has not met or been in contact with any candidates during the current primary process. If he had, it has been his personal policy through the years to avoid partisanship by meeting with representatives from both parties to address spiritual concerns.
“Upon further inquiry I understand that two people unaffiliated with either Billy or Franklin Graham apparently independently, without any knowledge by the [Billy Graham Evangelistic Association], tried to broker a meeting between Mr. McCain and the evangelist. Apparently it was their indirect and unofficial involvement that was declined.”
I read what you’ve posted and I have a question: What kind of idiots would try to broker a meeting beween McCain and Billy Graham who had no connection whatsoever to either McCain or Graham and without the knowledge of either?
Read that again, AU. Please.
They’re trying to broker a meeting when they don’t know McCain, don’t know Graham, and neither party even knew they were doing it.
DUH.
Ok, I’m not saying this issued statement is false, I’m just saying this sounds looney tunes crazy.
