Am I alone in my feeling that these thread's about an honarable 84(?) year old man, nearing the end of his life, who made a mistake and repented for it, are distasteful and disrespectful?
You're right. Graham probably didn't want the ADL all over him like a pack of rabid animals. So he did what he had to do.
Remember Abraham Foxman's original assessment? In typical ADL fashion, it was unmerciful. Foxman said that Graham was a purveyor of "age-old classical anti-Semitic canards."
Clearly, a tasteful, respectful comment about a man near the end of his life, right?
We obviously disagree on the man's character. Facing his God, you think he's motivated by fear of the ADL (not really, I know you have other unspoken issues), I respect his words. I respect the man, with little concern for what he said 30 years ago, and has disclaimed. How about another few posts, demeaning his motives? You aren't on this thread posting about Billy Grahm, are you?
