re: #439 Skip Intro

I hope that’s true. I was struck by the Billy Graham scene in season 2 of The Crown. I’m still trying to find out if what was portrayed actually happened.

Just listen to the clip from the Nixon tapes that have Billy Graham reveal what an anti-Semite he is.

Graham begins by advising Nixon on campaign strategy. The evangelist has been invited to lunch at Time magazine. “You better take your Jewish beanie” (yarmulke), Haldeman jokes. Nixon is in darker mood. He broaches something that “we can’t talk about publicly” - Jewish influence in the media. All the big news organs are “totally dominated by the Jews”. Graham agrees, adding, piously, that it is the Jews “who are putting out the pornographic stuff”.

The three men concur that “the best Jews are actually the Israeli Jews”. The American Jews are traitors (the Vietnam war was still raging). Nixon contends that “every Democratic candidate will owe his election to Jewish people”.

This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country’s going down the drain,” Graham solemnly declares. “You believe that?” Nixon asks. “Yes, sir,” Graham replies. “Oh, boy,” replies Nixon. “So do I. I can’t ever say that but I believe it.” Graham agrees. It can never be said publicly: “But if you get elected a second time, then we might be able to do something.” Nixon did, of course, get his second term.

Fuck Billy Graham and that goes double for his gay and lesbian hating daughter and triple for his bigoted and racist son!
