He had Parkinson's.

Had a conversation about last week. I said he will be with us for a few more years. His books are great.

Had a Congressional Gold Medal - the highest honour the US can give to a civilian. As well as a KBE from here.

Unfortunately - caught on the Nixon Tapes referring to 'The Synagogue of Satan' concerning Jews.

Apparently the American Jewish Committee didn't seem to mind too much - and subsequently gave him their highest award.

I put Fox News on lunch time (their breakfast time) and saw the news on that. They devoted most of their morning to him.
My parents saw him a couple of times at revivals. Pity he didn't quite his century.

His son is remarkably like him.

He became very rich ! (its good business "selling" God)

I remember when CNN were reporting about it, other news outlets could not care less.

he and his son ..ghastly right-wing reactionaries.

My mother took me to a Billy Graham rally when I was a kid. Not sure why as she never went to church before or after or was religious.

Maybe it was the free tickets.

Only been dead for 5 minutes are Guardian are tearing in to him. No wonder they are begging for money on every Web page on their site.

well he did advocate the bombing of the North Vietnam dikes which would have killed up to one million people.
Not sure how Christian that is.

The German who did likewise to the Dutch dikes in WW2 received the death sentence at Nuremberg.

Obituaries are warts and all..not haliographys.

Guardian asking for money? Just like all the others. Difference is they will survive as they have about £700M in the kitty.
How far to the right do they have to move to please people?
To me they are already just slightly behind the Times.

Vietnam war was a false flag. Due to LBJ whom was a Democrat.

I thought he was a victim of false allegations?
Or am I thinking of someone else?

Cliff?

No it was definitely a Billy Graham type character, if not him.
