Somebody please explain this to me. How could Billy Graham think these things about two such self centered people. The exact opposite of what Christians should be.

I was just a little boy and I'll never forget it," said Clinton

Was this before or after he remembered the black churches that didn't burn down?

[JoanneSD]

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. Makes me wonder if this was like the black church burnings clinton recalled?

[Theodore R.]

Do you recall that Billy also defended Clinton in the Lewinsky scandal, saying that the then President had "such a way with the ladies," or some such nonsense? He has been close to all incumbent Presidents since Eisenhower. And he would have been close to Dole too if Dole had made a serious effort and been elected.

[Biblebelter]

Maybe Graham said "Get behind me Bubba", and it was not reported in the press.

[Congressman Billybob]

I'm with you. A multiple rapist and perjurer (and his enabler, Lady Macbeth) "honor" a supposed religious leader by praising him? Is the writer insane? Is Billy Graham insane? Are the Clintons insane? Well, yes, the Clintons are insane, but in a crafty, single-minded way.

Latest column: "An Open Letter to Justice Kennedy"

[SkyPilot]

Billy Graham made an announcement 2 days ago. He said he was not going to get into politics, nor would he answer any questions on social issues that he would have answered 20 years ago.

All he wanted to do, he said, was preach the message that God loves you, and that Jesus Christ died for you to pay a penalty for your sins and mine.

Then, Rev. Graham shows up with Bill Clinton, and essentially endorses Hillary for President in 2008.

I am stunned.

[Theodore R.]

Apparently Franklin is the real conservative in the Graham family, and Graham is the popular "moderate." Ruth was once very conservative too, saying that unless God punished the wicked people of the U.S., He would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

[pollyannaish]

I think BG was is all about bringing people to Christ, powerful and not so powerful. He is very careful to stay out of politics because he does not want that to alienate anyone from his core message—Christ.

When you hear statements like these quoted, I think that they are a misrepresentation of Grahams effort to stay away from the political, while still ministering to people who truly need the message.

It's explained in the article.

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."...The evangelist is suffering from fluid on the brain,

The evangelist is suffering from fluid on the brain......

Gee, what was your FIRST clue?

[Sam Cree]

It's pretty clear that electing a Democrat would be a step toward theocracy.

[sweetliberty]

Some words just don't go together...like "Clinton" and "honor."

[kennyo]

Graham should stick to preaching,politics is not his forte.

..."quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow "his wife to run the country."

I am assuming he means that she should be president.The president does not "run the country".At best,he runs the executive branch of the government.Hardly the same thing.But when taken with his remark that Clinton should become an evangelist,the whole thing begins to smack of sarcasm.

"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."

..Graham's sermon never stopped him from belonging to the ALL WHITE prestigious Little Rock Country Club the whole time he was Governor.

Did the Grahams invite Bubba? Or did Bubba invite himself?

[Texas Songwriter]

Did Graham preach at the black church that burned into clintons mind when he was a child?
