Is it bigotry to not vote for a Mormon?
It was Enosh you called "furryball". On the "Jesus is Lord" thread #1,034 posted on 06/07/2007. You said to colorcountry "You just a big piehole," #800 posted on 06/06/2007. You are very creative ;)
And AWFUL lot do!
An AWFUL lot do!
You want to be added to the FIP, JR? Just FReepmail me ;)
Well, very very very few people seem to know that Romney is a Mormon. And almost no one knows what they really believe.
If you will notice, most of the threads are posted by Romney supporters. It's strange that they can't find articles that concentrate on other aspects of his candidacy to post here. I don't understand it.
There are more than enough atrocities, committed by the various churches or in the name of churches throughout history, to go around.
What is a p**?
LOL
Is it a term of endearment, do you think?
The Last Straw at the Los Angeles Times
by Arlene Peck
The worst so-called “journalism.”
For years, I’ve been a working member of the press. There was a time when I looked with pride at my life’s accomplishments. Of course, those were the days when such men as Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Morrow were the role models. In recent years, I’ve become increasingly alarmed with the trend that I’ve seen among those who consider themselves ‘reporters,’ as well as those talking heads on the television’s nightly news programs. We listen to dumbed-down, usually attractive, post-puberty ‘experts’ who can only speak in sound bites before they’re interrupted by their co-anchor in the box. They talk about the Middle-East, but I’ll bet if you put a map in front of them and asked them where that is, they wouldn’t have a clue.

BTW, who came in second in that straw poll.....
“Since this thread is actually about Romney’s Mormon religion, I guess it can’t be a hijack. That is until you all get deep deep into theology, which I imagine will be soon enough.”
But isn’t that our sides point, really? Mitt Romney cannot dare discuss his theological roots, not the history of his church, for fear of being laughed at by the world. It is as if the entire core of his being is off limits.
Seer Stones anyone? Racial bigotry anyone? Celestial wives, but no polygamy on Earth, just your goal in heaven?
It’s a big Pink Elephant standing in the middle of the living room. No matter how hard you guys try, it is going to be impossible to talk around it without your side eventually resorting to jackboot censorship.
Ron Paul ....

Don’t you find it interesting that Duncan Hunter didn’t even show up on the list? AND I voted for him. What’s going on in the Republican Party in Utah?

My, my, my, my. You have evidently stumbled on evidence of MORMON BIGOTRY. Only Mormon bigots would poll nearly exclusively for the Mormon candidate. Evidently it is alright to reflexively vote FOR a candidate based on religion, but to vote against them for the same reason is verboten.
People (even conservatives) turn a blind eye to the political cliamate in Utah. This is definetly a case of Mormon bigotry.
They never even announced the results of the poll at the convention, everyone knew what the outcome would be. The party waited and posted the outcome on their internet site.
Mormons if you’re not embarrassed by this poll, you should be.
Don't take offense but my understanding was that Rep. Paul's name had to be written in according to this story. Now why would a candidate who was announced have to be written in? And he still beats St. Rudy...
The RNC better wake up because a certain candidate keeps showing up in their polls for a reason.
Ron Paul WAS on the ballot. What an interesting, but inaccurate article.
A Wahabbist Muslim who lives in peace with his neighbors like Mormons do is as eligible to earn my vote.
Jackboot censorship? Geez, trying hard to be a victim you are. The FR Romney Mormon bashing threads go on for hundreds of posts, and appear fairly free-wheeling. If people object to the interjection of the theological stuff into a thread discussing poll results, is that what you refer to as resorting to jackboot censorship? Or is it hurtful if I refer to you all as FR Flying Imams?
