Billy Graham was like Mother Theresa in a way, good PR over reality.

Billy Graham was viciously anti-Catholic until the 60's, in fact he helped in the "Keep that Catholic out of the White House" anti-Kennedy movement.
And he lied about it.

Billy Graham also was quoted by Jeb Magruder agreeing with Richard Nixon that "Too many Jews run Hollywood," Graham called Magruder a liar.
Hey presto! one of Nixon's tapes had Billy Graham saying just that.
Billy Graham avoided the issue and said he "didn't remember."

Actually held prayers with some of his Preachers that visited various Churches.

I never heard Bill preach the hate his so does. If he said those things Inever heard them. I do know he vowed to stay out of politics after the embarrassment of Nixon. I never heard hate in his Sermons.
