Mormon-basher Andrew Sullivan: ‘Romney belonged to white supremacist church’
Twitchy ^ | 10/23/12

@sullydish It must be terrifying for you to be in such a desperate place with your candidate.—
John Richardson (@JohnRichardson) October 23, 2012

@sullydish So it’s final: your living is based exclusively on stating hyperbolic nonsense—

Trig Truther and perpetual panicker Andrew Sullivan has been suffering from “profound demoralization” as of late, but today, he took his vile bigotry to another level. Unable to face the prospect of a Romney victory in November, Sullivan joined the ranks of Cher and Adam Levine and desperately lashed out at Romney for his membership in the Mormon Church. Be sure to read the whole sickening tirade.

Twitterers were furious at Sullivan’s pathetic attempt to link Romney and his faith to radical racists and rightly tore into him:

This is so demagogic. Do Catholics belong to a "pedophile church"? Faith much more complex than @sullydish pretends: twitter.com/sullydish/stat…

Hey @SullyDish – Can you please stick to actual attacks of #Romney's platform, not his religion? Thanks, America.—
Matan Lurey (@matanlurey) October 23, 2012

@sullydish The bigotry continues from unhinged lunatic Andrew Sullivan. Sad. He got me into reading blogs, before he went insane.—

@sullydish Pathetic little man gets even more pathetic.—

@EWErickson @sullydish it's right out of the left's playbook: when all else fails, assassinate your opponent's character—

@sullydish are you seriously playing this card? You're a disgrace.—

@sullydish don't stoop to the Chicago style tactics—

Hey @sullydish, I guess liberal disdain for "generalizations" only applies to criminals or arabs. Mormons are fair game? #Hypocrite

@sullydish So in desperation, we're now going to start attacking Romney's faith. #childish

The same church that beat most COUNTRIES in aid to Haiti/Katrina. RT @sullydish: Romney belonged to a white supremacist church for 31 years.—

@sullydish Of course, you could have discussed this at any time about Harry Reid, but this is timed for electoral effect. Cheap stuff.—
craig matteson (@csmatteson) October 23, 2012

@sullydish And Harry Reid for much longer than that. But I am sure your hate-mongering doesn't require consistent principles.—
The_Hurt_Mocker (@57thStateTweetr) October 23, 2012

Losing the race, losing his mind. Pathetic. MT: “@sullydish: Mitt Romney belonged to a white supremacist church for 31 years of his life…"—
Kate Lusty (@kateofkatehall1) October 23, 2012

So in disgustingly pathetic desperation @sullydish is playing the Mormon card. Thought you were better than that, Andrew.—

@sullydish you're a real disgrace—

In his editorial, Sullivan also trivialized Barack Obama’s membership in Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s black supremacist church, writing it off as nothing more than a youthful indiscretion:

Imagine further that backing this racist church was not a youthful folly on Obama’s part, but a profound commitment – that he went on a mission abroad to convert Christians to a new religion based on black racial supremacy, and has often said that the most important thing in his entire life to this day is a church whose sacred scripture declares white people to be cursed by God for their past sins – and the sign of this curse is their white skin.

A simple question: Do you think this issue would not come up in a general election or a primary? If Obama was subjected to news cycle after news cycle of clips of Obama’s actual former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, can you imagine the outrage if Obama had actually been a part of a black supremacist church – that denied whites equal access to the sacraments – for over a decade in his adult life?

What’s to imagine? Obama willingly listened to Wright damn America for 20 years.

Conservatives weren’t having any of Sullivan’s Wright apologism:

.@sullydish Good grief. As if Obama's similar time at Jeremiah Wright's church was a lesson in racial tolerance? PLEASE!—
? Ron Wallace ? (@Vote4Wallace) October 23, 2012

@EWErickson @sullydish I think Obama has him beat in the crazy church department.—
Bob Hammers (@darkiguana77) October 23, 2012

@LilMissRightie @sullydish Did anyone hear the Rev Wright video? Anti-white Anti-American chat from the alter?—
AMERY (@AMRestani) October 23, 2012

@TPCarney @sullydish And what of Obama and Reverend Wright's church. Read the tenets.—
Pat Lohr-Williams (@tishiejean) October 23, 2012

@sullydish Andrew, did it ever bother you that Obama belonged to a black supremacist church for 25 years?—
  (@vbspurs) October 23, 2012

@sullydish And Obama didn't sit in a black supremacist church for 20 years?? See how easy it is to show you up for what you are Andrew?—
Lime Lite (@limelite001) October 23, 2012

.@sullydish Fair enough, Obama belonged to a racist black church for 20 + years, and he chose it as an adut.—
Slim Pickens (@Mattie96) October 23, 2012

The hypocrisy … it burns.

@sullydish man you are polarizing and hate-filled—
GregR (@GregR61648933) October 23, 2012

@sullydish You are pretty much a horrible person. You have fallen so, so far. Examine your life.—
  (@RDPortland) October 23, 2012

@sullydish You are one vile and disgusting human being.—
  (@TxSker) October 23, 2012

Indeed. If Sullivan is still capable of feeling any shame, he should be wallowing in it. What an absolute disgrace.

Does Andrew Sullivan have the same objection to Harry Reid, or is his bigotry against the LDS Church as selective as the rest of his quirks?

He seems to differentiate between “conservative” and “liberal” mormons. He didn’t like Robert Byrd though.

Okay, so here are my take-aways from this.

1. It’s okay to bash religion in the United States, as long as it’s not a religion observed by a couple of billion people from the Middle-East, down into Africa, and across Asia. And who gives a damn what they think, or teach. It’s just not important.

2. It’s not okay to bash a religion that thinks White American F’d up the rest of the world, and wants to destroy it and them.

Okay, I think I’ve got that ironed out.

Hey Andrew..., F U

I think we’re going to see more playing the mormon card in the coming days, sadly.

A. The Mormons changed their teaching about blacks in the Mormon priesthood. B. Obama was a member of a black supremacist church, and it STILL believes in black supremacy!

Maybe. Maybe not. But he'd definitely be classified as a Caucasian on a government census form of today.

The racist theology of the LDS is well documented. It goes as far back as Smith himself, who in his “revelations” declared anyone with a dark skin complexion to be suffering under some degree of divine judgment. According to Brigham Young, Mormons are supposed to drop dead on the spot if they marry into another race. The LDS is not honest with this history because, for obvious reasons, it immediately demonstrates how absurd and false their religion is.

This is undeniable.

We do not have to start fighting for the Mormon cult just because one is running for president as a republican.

While we were watching Star Wars and Luke Skywalker, Romney and Harry Reid, and Ann and Mitt’s mom and dad all belonged to a racist cult.

Mitt received a draft deferment that the Mormons would not grant to black Mormons, and Mitt was a teacher and a leader and a follower of the religion.

It wasn’t until God changed his mind on black people in 1978 and told it to Mitt’s Holy Prophet, that the Mormons dropped it.

Nope, Andrew Sullivan is among the biggest hypocrites I have ever known. Alright the guy admitted to enjoying plenty of unprotected sodomy while arguing we should risk infecting others with HIV (He is admittedly HIV positive, claims that supposedly the U.S. Healthcare sucks while somehow coming from Britain to the U.S. for cheaper medication and insurance coverage. And yes, he gives Harry Reid a free pass!

Yeah, that’s the part about liberal hypocrisy that I love the most: either you’re born and never sin, or you simply embrace one ideology and all is forgiven.

Well Mia Love is also married to a white guy, so they’ll probably argue something bad about interracial relationships. I would love to see them do it for the sole sake of hypocrisy. They compare their oppression to those of mixed race couples, but then they sneer when someone who isn’t Democrat actually does what they so glorify. Their main reason for hating Romney has to do with one thing: The guy runs a private equity firm and unlike many venture capitalists, he actually donates to the GOP instead.
