Billy Graham Dead At 99
The Evangelist Billy Graham is dead at 99.

Quote: The Rev. Billy Graham , the Christian evangelist whose worldwide crusades and role as adviser to decades of U.S. presidents made him one of the best known religious figures of his time, died Wednesday at age 99 at his home in Montreat, N.C, Todd Shearer of DeMoss Associates told Fox News

I'm really not all that sad . The man was 99 and  an Anti Semite.

Yep, the idiot liked to claim he never tried to influence politics. BULLSHIT.

RE: Billy Graham Dead At 99
About ten years ago, when I was on the Newspeak Dictionary forums, in the wake of Falwell’s demise, I decided (along with another forumer) to work on a death pool for famous fundies. A lot of people had their horses set on Fred Phelps, but I fully expected Billy Graham to be the first to pop off (due to his advanced age and myriad of health problems).

By the time Oral Roberts died (the first one on the list to go), however, there was a big purge and a lot of old members (myself included) got lost in the dust.

Honestly, I can't be too sad. Even putting aside the more unsavory aspects of his character, he was born a few days before the armistice that ended World War 1 and became world famous in the time between then and now. Motherfucker had a good, long, run, and we've been expecting it for well over a decade. No point in mourning him, just a minor disappointment that he didn't keep on long enough to become a centenarian.

I was certainly never a fan. I deplored his small-mindedness, his tireless and tiresome fanaticism, his apparent anti-Semitism, and his utterly unearned access to the highest reaches of our government. That said, he was a pillar of integrity compared to his peers in the evangelist racket.

Low bar, but still . . .

No shortage of other Christians who think Graham is a heretic.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Too be fair he was fond of calling other people heretics.
