11. that is way different
Grahm already was America's pastor at that point and Clinton had no way he could avoid using him without picking a major fight. It should also be noted that Billy Grahm was no where near as conservative as Warren is. For instance on race, Grahm was positively progressive demanding that his crowds be integrated in the South in the 50's, in some cases his services were the first integrated ones since reconstruction. Yes on gay rights he was lousy but he got the job as America's pastor based on his, for the time, progressive views on race. BTW that site is one I won't take as giving us the total truth as to anyone's views. So until I see another source for Grahm's views I won't accept that the quotes are accurate.
