A letter to the editor in the current issue of Newsweek reminds me that forty some-odd years ago a nephew of mine (then eight years old) went to a Billy Graham crusade and got saved.
The letter writer, Ernest J. Zenker of Mandeville, LA, was responding to the magazine’s August 14 cover story, “Pilgrim’s Progress”:
Billy Graham has caused more damage to the United States than any [other] man of his generation. He has made fundamentalism socially acceptable. As a result, we have a president and a religious right that think loving Jesus Christ excuses any action....This nephew is today an unshakable Bush supporter.

Recanting in 2020? This nephew says the jury is still out on how he’ll vote on November 3.

And let's not forget his tirade in the oval office with Richard Nixon over the Jews.
