Breaking: Billy Graham Endorses Romney Then Scrubs Site Calling Mormonism A ‘Cult’
Billy Graham last night endorsed Mitt Romney for president, and shortly thereafter, his website was scrubbed of a statement Graham or his organization made calling Mormonism a cult.
It was an honor to meet and host Governor Romney in my home today, especially since I knew his late father former Michigan Governor George Romney, whom I considered a friend, the 93-year old Christian Evangelist Southern Baptist minister said via a statement. I have followed Mitt Romneys career in business, the Olympic Games, as governor of Massachusetts and, of course, as a candidate for president of the United States.

As of June 5, 2010, if not much earlier, Billy Grahams website stated:
A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith. It is very important that we recognize cults and avoid any involvement with them. Cults often teach some Christian truth mixed with error, which may be difficult to detect.
Today, the Sacramento Bee and other media outlets, including Grahams own website, posted Grahams statement endorsing Mitt Romney for president, and two commenters posted a link to the 2010 Graham statement classifying the Mormon religion as a cult. Hours later,
that page no longer exists:
A Google webcache of that page confirms its prior existence, and an Archive.org webcache first crawled that page on June 5, 2010. Heres a screenshot of the Google web cache:
Additionally, a search for the word Mormon on Billy Grahams website identifies six pages, yet none of those pages have the word Mormon on them as of this writing, yet most of them still have the word cult on them.
