Me too.
I would have thought this would be a three comment thread. IMO, much of the discussion (defending and excusing his 1971 statements) is demeaning to Billy Graham, though it certainly doesn't demean the man.
I think the reason for that is they don't really care about Billy. They want to hang on to the right to attack Jews as Jews. Therefore they can no accept his apology and repudiate his words that day as he genuinely can in true repentance. They do not share the same spirit he has.
