No, Graham denied every saying anything negative about Jews to Nixon. He lied.

Untrue. Please provide a source for Graham making the denial of "ever saying anything negative about Jews to Nixon." Otherwise I must conclude that YOU are lying, or at least misquoting and exagerating. Here is his quoted denial which I gave the source to in my post#35. Did you even read it???

Within seconds, we have a list of the 64 relevant entries and are reading Nixon telling Haldeman that the Rev. Billy Graham "has the strong feeling that the Bible says that there are satanic Jews and that's where our problem arises."34

34 Graham has denied the quote, saying "These are not my words and this does not reflect the high view I hold for the nation of Israel and for Jewish people, many of whom are my close friends." Quoted in James M. Perry, "Book-CD Pairing is Sure to Start a Trend," San Diego Union-Tribune, June 7, 1994, p. 10.

I see your standards in a minister approach those of Bill and Hillary. Were you ever a defense attorney or spokesman for Mr. Clinton ?

You present a strawman arguement here, and never answered the question, a_witness. My question was, "if we had YOUR private conversations on tape, and picked out just one conversation, could we "prove" you were a bigot?"

As far as your Clinton strawman analogy, there's a difference between prejudicial comments in private conversation and historical lawbreaking and corruption. My standards are consistent. I think Graham was wrong for the comments he made as taped, but they aren't the comments you and others attribute to him. Graham apologized for his private 1972 comments. Now, its time to get over it.

You don't have a question. You simply want to remove the office and high calling that Mr. Graham said he was called to from the equation. You have fallen short of the mark.
