Billy Graham: "They don't know how I really feel about what they're doing to this country."
Nixon: "You must not let them know."

Perhaps "open book" should refer to Graham's apparent lack of opening and reading the Bible often enough.

In response to posts 43 and 52:

Horse dung. Do you believe all that you read, especially the first time, in a press that is, by even their own admission, anti-religion anyway? Neither one of you have listened to the tape in the context of the time, place, setting or in its entirety.

OTOH, you have the public words and actions of the man for 40 or 50 years ongoing. You cannot point to a single instance of anti-Semitic behavior or rhetoric. Yet you find this one instance as an incredible window into a man's attitude about an entire race of people. That isn't only illogical, it is idiocy.

When you have a pattern of behavior (see: Bill Clinton), one might make an argument. You don't have that with Reverend Graham. You've got one instance of one conversation on one tape in an 83-year lifetime...and you haven't even got the context in which that conversation occurred? The vast stupidity of inferring one is anti-Semite from that miniscule boggles the mind.
