I was privileged to see Graham. When I was 4. On a blanket spread on the grass sitting with my parents; my Mother was a particular (is) fan of his. The only thing I can report is that the grass was incredibly green. I don't agree with a good deal of his doctrine or dogma, I dislike his approach, (mass hypnotism/hysteria/induced intense emotion has never been my thing) though I consider him sincere enough, but I am having trouble with the Nazi parallel. Can you (dumb question, let me change that to will you) expound on that? By the by, I have something to say about the eye for an eye business but it will have to wait until morning. Oh -- it is morning -- 5:20 to be exact. It'll have to wait until consumption of my first full mug of coffee my spoon stands up in, heavily laced with sugar and creamer. Julie Krueger a little puzzled, primarily remembering the voice of whatsisname Shea and watching thousands walking forward to be "born again" and wondering how each of their lives turned out. ========Original Message======== Subj: [lit-ideas] The LastCrusade of Billy the Graham Date: 6/28/05 12:53:53 A.M. Central Daylight Time From: _atlas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:atlas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) To: _lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) Sent on: I'd been waiting in line for 62 years. Now they tell me the last show is sold out. Damn, damn, damn. I wanted so badly to see Billy Graham. To watch his magical salvation show in the making. Billy's been God's boy for the last half a century, no doubt about it, better even than Jesus who regretably had all those Communist tendencies and ended up getting himself killed -- and talk about your pacificism, my, my, my, isn't his so totally untenable under any sensible doctrine! But Billy? Well, there he was for Nixon, yes, blessing the murder of Vietnamese for whatever reason and conspiring with Nixon to remove all the Jews from the media, since they were the cause of it all -- their stranglehold on the media, their pornography. Ja, Billy Boy, it turns out, was just another drugstore Nazi cowboy. But we all knew that, everyone knew that. He's a man of God, but not just any god, no, no, no, the True God, the One and Only, who is a our beloved Nazi cowboy, the gunslinger God of the Old Testament incarnated in Jesus. Those who believe an eye for eye, say aye. Ach! they all do. The Germans had it right. We all know that. But how to word it, that's the problem. Billy got caught on Nixon's tapes talking as anti-Semitic as Hitler, but no one cared because, well, because, we all agreed, apparently -- except the Jews, but doesn't that just go to show you? We've got to stop the pornographing Jews before they turn us all into masturbating morons. Praise God. Thank you, Billy, for speaking the truth. Thank you American Media for not making a big deal of Graham's anti-Semitism, and especially thank you, America for ignoring the ever growing fascism among us. May we soon become the new enemy of mankind. Amen.
