I think if we took a roll call of the regular names Stephen drops in his posts, this one would earn close to 100% attendance. I see Randall Balmer, Martin Marty, Will Campbell, Marshall Frady, Roy Moore, Trey Gowdy, W.A. Criswell, Charles Stanley, Anne Graham Lotz, Franklin Graham, of course Billy, the John Birch Society, FBC Spartanburg. Kate Campbell is missing, along with any mention of Furman University, and Jesse Helms.

That's a joke, right? Moore is the most prominent extremist right winger in Alabama. I'm sure that his appointment was a done deal regardless of anything that Graham would have done.
Stephen Fox wrote:"And Look at where the Children of Graham are, almost to a person hardwired to the Tea Party."
"if I knew I forgot, but IRS investigated Billy's father in law Nelson Bell cause 200,000 roughly the mailing list at the time of Christianity Today, tracts were sent from Weaverville, N.C. in 1960, anti Catholic tracts opposing President Kennedy."
I don't see what his father in law has to do with anything related to his legacy. As far as where his children are politically, I think Franklin's organization got burned pretty badly in 2008 by contributors who backed away because of what they perceived as political activity that was too overt, and he toned things down quite a bit. Many of his big financial supporters are African Americans who are also Democrats and supporters of the President, and I think the downturn his organization experienced was a lesson learned, and as far as the tea party bigots go, I don't see much association.
The headline of this thread is correct, Billy Graham's legacy is in serious question, but only by one Stephen Fox. I can't even google up another blog on this theme.
