The only serious mar I can recall on Graham's record was the Watergate-tape recorded episode of his obseqious agreement with Nixon's anti-Semitic rants--something he later repudiated and for which he apologized.
Otherwise, he seemed a sincere and fervent advocate for beliefs I do not share but can respect. Only when he veered into fire and brimstone guilt and shame did I feel that his version of Christianity was harmful to human happiness.
I seem also to recall that he expressed reservations later in his life about a close association of Christian leadership and partisan politics. He was the most authentic of his generation of evangelists, and we would be a better nation now if other evangelists had measured up to his mark.
AbE: I do recollect some criticism of Graham as a limo and private jet riding preacher...
