To: D-fendr; All
You support the CNN blogger...

The main problem with posters like you is that you don't allow context to define your words...like the word "support" in this case...

If you really want to have a clue about alleged conservatives "supporting" an out-and-out liberal, all you have to do is read this article: Reid Gets Warm Reception at BYU ...

But, of course, D-fendr, even though this article has been referenced numerous times on FR threads in the past five years, you haven't seem to care about this exact instance of "conservative" support of liberals...

Hmm...Now why would BYU invite Harry Reid to an all-student, all-prof guest speaker forum???

#1 Perhaps it was so Reid could tell BYU students: "I am a Democrat because I am a Mormon, not in spite of it."
#2 Perhaps it was because BYU officials knew that the BYU audience present on campus on that day (Oct. 9, 2007) would appreciate Harry Reid's open critique of Christians: "They [Evangelical Christians] are the most anti-Christian people I can imagine, the people from the Christian far right."

Hmmm...So the Mormon leadership that Mitt Romney bows down to was giving Harry Reid an open venue to slime Evangelical Christians, eh?

And did you, D-fendr, ever defend Christians against this onslaught from Harry Reid and BYU and the Mormon leadership? Or do you "support" Harry Reid's critique of Evangelical Christians?

Oh, and btw, just so we know how the BYU "faithful" received Harry Reid's message...From the above linked article, written by the Lds church owned Deseret News: At the end of his speech, Reid earned a standing ovation from a small percentage of the crowd and applause from the rest.

There...a perfect context for the word "support"...in the way you meant it, D-fendr...

In case, my post before wasn’t clear: Your anti-Mormonism is clear after the hundredth post. Give it a rest.
