1. Nice pillow talk

The real Billy Graham

2. More to it...

That was the end of the story, it seemed, until two weeks ago, when the tape of that 1972 conversation in the Oval Office was made public by the National Archives. Three decades after it was recorded, the North Carolina preacher's famous drawl is tinny but unmistakable on the tape, denigrating Jews in terms far stronger than the diary accounts.

''They're the ones putting out the pornographic stuff,'' Mr. Graham said on the tape, after agreeing with Mr. Nixon that left-wing Jews dominate the news media. The Jewish ''stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain,'' he continued, suggesting that if Mr. Nixon were re-elected, ''then we might be able to do something.''

Finally, Mr. Graham said that Jews did not know his true feelings about them.

''I go and I keep friends with Mr. Rosenthal at The New York Times and people of that sort, you know,'' he told Mr. Nixon, referring to A. M. Rosenthal, then the newspaper's executive editor. ''And all -- I mean, not all the Jews, but a lot of the Jews are great friends of mine, they swarm around me and are friendly to me because they know that I'm friendly with Israel. But they don't know how I really feel about what they are doing to this country. And I have no power, no way to handle them, but I would stand up if under proper circumstances.''

5. There is more to know about Billy Graham

than will be told today in the media. He had a very, very ugly side, too, hidden by his preaching.

7. If you can point us to any sources, by all means share it.

If you can point us to any sources, by all means share it.

I don't dispute what you're saying. I want to know more.

8. His preaching was bad enough!

There was no hidden for me. It was all rubbish.

But folks will be lauding his life nonetheless, the poor sots.

6. Suspicious timing.... Maybe... Billy Graham was the original Russian BOT?

Condolences to great grandchildren...

Rest in enlightenment.

9. While it may be comforting to some to believe that Graham

is burning in hell right now, there’s no more reason to believe hell exists than there is to believe Wonderland exists.

He’s dead. End of story. He didn’t learn any truth after he died. He died and that was the end of any chance he had to learn anything.
