What would you think if you were told that the most bigoted, intolerant, hateful, and xenophobic political messages this election cycle are being spread by Obama supporters?
From ridiculing and disrespecting the Mormon religion to spreading secretly taped videos recorded by an Obama supporter in a Mormon church, those on the left are sanctioning this particular form of bigotry because it’s all for the cause: Obama.
Nowhere is this more obvious than in the media, where pages upon pages have been devoted to Romney’s religion. Vicious, anti-Mormon rhetoric, ramping up in the final days leading up to the election, has been spread by MSNBC and CNN hosts, the New York Times (they have devoted an entire section of their website to articles about Mormonism), Washington Post, and the Daily Beast’s Andrew Sullivan, to name a few. Yesterday, Breitbart’s John Nolte revealed that Gloria Allred’s October surprise client is spreading anti-Mormon hate around the Internet.
In one recent segment, which I took notes on right after the Tampa convention, Rachel Maddow, having attacked the religion in various ways and perhaps sensing her own intolerance, offhandedly remarked that everything she had said was “ok” because Romney mentioned his faith in his convention speech, rendering it fair game.
A quick perusal of the search results for “Mormon” on Salon.com, which resulted in 5 pages of results, reveals such headlines as “Is Mormon underwear magic,” ”What we should ask Romney about Mormonism,” and “Ann: Mormon missions are just like military service!”

I haven't read anything scholarly on the United Order in years.
Romney is double-digits behind Obama in over a dozen states. Have you asked conservatives in those states: "At the end of the day, is it worth it to throw away your vote on Mitt Romney, the liberal pro-abort socialist healthcare pioneer turned 'moderate'?"
(Until you start asking conservatives in those given states, you don't deserve more of a response than that)
Electorally...Mitt Romney is a "nonstarter" in up to 15 states + D.C.
So I take it your advice to us is: If you live in one of those clear blue states, don't vote for either liberal (Obama or Romney)...given Romney is a nonstarter in those given states...
I CAN AGREE to that.
So how many people have the Mormons tortured and killed in their riots in the last year?
Isn't that better than being thought of as one being FULL of crap; like me??
Actually; you get the ping because you KNOW a lot about the history and lifestyle, and can share a lot of info about it.
Ma'am; according to OUR records we have NOT visited you and been rebuffed 37 times!
Even if it WERE true; that does NOT qualify as TORTURE!
Every now and then we have visits from people that actually have begun to agree with our point of view and have started cleaning things up. The Bishops wife stopped by yesterday and volunteered to help with our daughters wedding. The Relief Society brings breads and muffins every year during our big event to go with the Tbird Coffee.
So now after fourteen years in the community and not stepping once into the Ward, people are starting to come around. And I will never do battle over any religious topic.
The nauseating stuff posted about Mormons really needs to stop, especially since Billy Graham ministry has removed Mormons from their list of cults. I was banned for about a year and now I see that nothing has changed. The anti Mormons never let up. It’s like they are obsessed.
Please note: I am a Mormon; Jesus Christ is my Savior and Best Friend; Jesus suffered and died to save me from my sins and I love Him with all my heart. But of course my heartfelt testimony is not good enough for the anti MormonISM gang. Oh, well, thank Goodness my Judge is Jesus Christ.
Preach it, Brother; preach it!! Amen.
Excuse me. I am a Mormon and I am a Christian. Jesus Christ is my Savior who suffered and died for me ME. Please stop condemning me to hell; it is above your pay grade. Jesus Christ is my Judge.
Mormonism is not part of Christianity, it is an entirely different, made-up religion, and the only people claiming that it is Christian, is the actual cult itself.
When it comes to whether Mormonism is Christian, and why it isn’t, ALL Christianity is in agreement, the Greek Orthodox, all the Protestant churches, and the Catholic denomination.
Christianity has it’s internal arguments, but they DO NOT disagree about Mormonism.
You seem to have veered off the track of this posted article which is about trickery and deception perpetrated by anti Mormons.
They are coming down hard on the Reverend Billy Graham. “They” meaning the anti Mormons, and they are legion:
Graham still knows that Mormons are a non-Christian cult, he merely removed it temporarily to stay out of the political arguments.
I am accepted of the Lord. He is my Savior. It doesn’t matter one wit what you think or say about my Salvation. You are not my judge. My Judge is Jesus Christ. Amen.
Holy cow! You are being disrespectful of the Rev. Billy Graham, the greatest Preacher since Paul of Tarsus. Billy Graham would never play politics. His whole life is above reproach. I have always loved Billy Graham. Used to watch his crusades on TV. He is one of my heroes!
You just called the Rev. Billy Graham a liar.
