For one thing, Greg, Graham did his best to be inclusive in his campaigns. He also avoided hateful, angry approaches, and did his best to inspire people to be constructive and peaceful and inclusive. Yes, he was conservative and a Christian and made no bones about that - but that was exactly who he was.

For another thing, Graham was a close friend of Martin Luther King, Jr., and was a strong supporter of racial integration as early as 1953.

But he was a conservative, and that's enough in your book and that of Mr. Shaw, to call him kin of the devil. He didn't have an ideology that meets your standards, so you revile him. You see things only in black and white. I don't.
