A revolting display of Hubris. I cannot believe these people think the rest of us think of this as anything but disingenuous. Gag me. Shocked

All I can think of is Slick Willy with his oversixed Bile during the Impeachment stuff and the two of them nodding in the middle of the Reagan Eulogy.

Bill, Hillary Clinton Use Billy Graham to Gain Political Ground

"National Clergy Council president Rev. Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) walked out on his role model Billy Graham after the evangelist surrendered his microphone to Bill Clinton on the third night of his New York City crusade, then gave a veiled endorsement to Senator Hillary Clinton who was sitting nearby on stage.

According to the Associated Press, when Bill Clinton joined him on stage, Graham "quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow 'his wife to run the country.'"

Rev. Schenck has considered Billy Graham his role model for over 25 years. That's why the Capitol Hill minister traveled from Washington, DC, to New York City this weekend to witness what may be the ailing evangelist's last crusade. But after he saw the Clintons exploit the aging Graham, he couldn't bear to stay and hear him preach.

"I was stunned and appalled," said Schenck, who left the Flushing Meadows Park as Graham was still complimenting the Clintons."

Billy Graham Touts President Hillary?

Addressing his flock for the second night of his final revival tour in New York, Rev. Billy Graham stood side by side with ex-President Bill Clinton and joked that Mrs. Clinton might make a good president.

After joining the Clintons onstage, Graham referred to them as "wonderful friends" and "a great couple," according to the Associated Press - "quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow 'his wife to run the country.'"

For his part Clinton lavished praise on Graham for his commitment to civil rights.

Speaking as Rev. Graham looked on, Clinton told the Queens, New York audience how the famed minister had refused to preach before a segregated audience in Arkansas decades ago when that state was in a bitter fight over school desegregation.

"I was just a little boy and I'll never forget it," said Clinton, with his wife sitting nearby. "I've loved him ever since. God bless you, friend."

Rev. Graham caused some controversy in 1998, when he seemed too quick to forgive Mr. Clinton just weeks after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke.

"I forgive him because I know the frailty of human nature and I know how hard it is," Graham told NBC's "Today Show, adding that Clinton "has such a tremendous personality, that I think the ladies just go wild over him."

Graham later clarified his position on Clinton's sexual misconduct in an op-ed piece for the New York Times.

"A leader's moral character, first of all, influences the way he or she does his or her job," the respected reverend warned. "There simply is no such thing as an impenetrable fire wall between what we do privately and what we do publicly.

"Can someone who consistently lies or deceives or cheats in his personal life be trusted in a business deal or a courtroom or a political agreement? Should someone who takes bribes or harbors deep-seated racial animosities be given judicial or political power, as long as he keeps his behavior or his feelings private? Of course not."

Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, was more blunt, telling Fox News at the time that Clinton "has no moral character."

We now have a clue into the next elections Democrat strategy. Have you noticed how the news media is reminding viewers that Billy Graham is a Democrat? That with Bill appearing on stage with Billy it gives a not so subtle clue. They are going to hit hard at reminding voters that Democrats are "religious" and Christian.

Once had a beer with Billy Graham in the "Tonight Show's" green room....

The Clintons have a knack for attaching themselves to the near dead who'ld not break bread with them if they were sentient. Moynihan and Goldwater stick out.

Billy's ridden that associates degree from Wheaton College alot longer than he should have.

I see what you mean. Laughing

But it doesn't stop the freelance democratic media from doing little helping to quash the perception that all democrats hate Christians and the mention of God.

It is not unusual for democrats to have several loud opposing voices within their camp. It is not division though, it is appeasing all factions of those that vote dem. They can't be all Christian. There has to be a radical voice there to appease the rabid liberals.

Case in point, Al Gore chose Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Lieberman hit the ground running with the God talk. Now why do you think he did that? Mr. Green

Rev. Peterson Chastises Billy Graham for Hillary Endorsement

"Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, issued a statement Tuesday chastising Rev. Billy Graham for his endorsement of Hillary Clinton at his final American revival meeting this past weekend in New York City.

~snip~
""As I observed Rev. Graham sharing a stage with the Clintons I was reminded of a verse from the Bible: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20).

"It was disturbing to watch Billy Graham, a man whom I’ve admired for years, being used by evil to mislead countless Christians."
