This is just too much! I'm prostrate with fury at how they get away with their travelling circus act!
Excerpt from last part of article:
"Graham has preached to more than 210 million people in 185 countries. He has been sought out by U.S. presidents and leaders worldwide and, more than any other religious figure, has come to represent the American evangelical movement.
"Marie St. Louis, 34, who came to the event hours early Saturday with friends and family from her New York church, called the rally "bittersweet" because it was Graham's last in the United States.
"It's sad because he's such a legend," St. Louis said. "When you think of Billy Graham, you think of a lot of things a Christian should be."...and somehow it's NOT Hillary and Billary.
We have to give slack to Billy. But..."running the country," She'd do for our country what she did for the Arkansas school system!
BG was good. It was worth trip. It'll be the last time I see him on this earth. Of course Schummer spoke and Bloomberg. I didn't notice allot of applause when any of the Democrats spoke and not much for Bloomberg when he spoke, at least in the section we were sitting in.
Clinton on stage with Rev. Graham is nothing short of Blasphemy. The truth is, Clinton is on stage. Period.
"Graham has preached to more than 210 million people in 185 countries. He has been sought out by U.S. presidents and leaders worldwide and, more than any other religious figure, has come to represent the American evangelical movement."
He's been doing this for over 50 years.
Simply an incredible CHRISTIAN!
He's a worldwide treasure.
Those people would have tried to upstage Christ Himself on the day of His resurrection.
Man, you were not kidding when you posted the barf alert. This is un-friggin believable. Of course, I've looked sideways at Billy Graham longer than I have at Billy Jeff. If Graham had his head screwed on, he'd never have allowed the king and queen of hell to share his podium. But what the heck - he's got movie star status today. I hope all of the butt-kissing politicos that use him to rub a little Jesus will stand up for him when he's called to give a few answers...in what looks to be a very short time.
I would bet money that the Clintons very cleverly contacted the Crusade at the last minute, making it virtually impossible for anyone in the Graham camp to say 'no'. The Clintons are master craftsmen at this kind of stunt. Then add to this the fact that Billy is 86 years old and probably a little spacy and it unfolded just the way Bubba and Hildebeast wanted.
Question is: Why aren't the Republicans and Dubya this smart?
I lived in Arkansas when he was governor, and have a pretty good understanding of who he REALLY is. Jughead was lying through his teeth, some aid found that story when asked to do background research after the Clintons decided to call and get themselves invited.
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."
I'm certain that Graham was only trying to be nice and polite, to spread goodwill, and trying to reach out to the widest audience possible so as to spread the gospel. Thus I'm sure he thought that being nice to the Clintons, who many New Yorkers DO like and voted for, would aid in that cause. He's probably right. But at what point does politeness and kindness cross the line into enabling and excusing repeated patterns of sinful behavior? We can look at the bible and see that Jesus did throw the moneychangers out of the temple, and Paul wasn't afraid to talk straight with leaders. I can't see either allowing themselves to be used for a photo op. Jesus did dined with tax collectors and the woman at the well, hence I can uderstand Graham allowing them onstage, but he would have done much better to remember how Jesus ended his conversation at the well, "Go and sin no more." Wouldn't have to be done onstage, but effusive praise as if they weren't continuing in their sinful behaviors, words, and deeds seems to be the easy way out, and ultimately destructive. Remember how Solomon got too lost in the comforts of wealth, fame, and celebrity. Sure, render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and Jesus didn't come to establish an earthly kingdom, but I also don't recall reading where Jesus invited Herod in front of the crowd and then proclaimed "What a great friend to children" Herod was.
They're really not getting away with it.
"and allow "his wife (the Hillda-beast) to run the country".
OK, that's it, I really, really am moving to France now.
There are much more important things to be upset about than Billy Graham being kind to Bill Clinton.
Threads like these reveal how so many self-styled conservative Christians have made politics their god.
Billy Graham would have done well to have emulated Elijah the Prophet and pronounced judgment upon Beelzebub and Her Cloven Hoofness, just as Elijah pronounced judgment upon Ahab and Jezebel.
The parallels are eerie.
If there is justice, the Clintons will meet the same end.
Clinton: "A man I love."
Better put some ice on that Rev Graham.
Is there one Commandment Clinton hasn't VERY PUBLICLY broken?
My mother worshipped the ground Billy G.walked on even meeting him and shaking his hand.She was flabbergasted when I told her he excused Clinton and said he was a "great man".I think it broke her heart.When I heard him say it on the radio,it sound sound like someone had a gun to his head. He was real nervous.You'd think Clinton's goons were in the same room or something,waiting to work him over if he dared say anything negative or something.
How big was Bill Clinton's Bible? Last I saw a few years back, he was toting one that wouldn't fit in a suitcase.
Did Bill do some laying on of hands? What low-down hypocrits these two are!
Clinton= puke
