Dear FRiends
It really pains me to see some of those vicious anti-Mormons attacks we see on Free Republic disguised under the freedom of speech. Attacking people based on their Mormon faith is really disgusting and it is an insult to this great forum. People who do not like Governor Mitt Romney based on his positions are free to express their opinion as such, but people who attack him because he is a Mormom should be ashamed of themselves and must not be allowed to do so.
I greatly hope that Free Republic members and moderators will get together and help in stopping this anti-Mormon vitriol, this great Free Republic must not be tainted by these shameless acts.
Perfect..!!
What exactly is the question?
Yes, the DU canard, the last refuge of the deranged.
I wish folks would stop using liberal code-words like “attack” for open and honest debates in a freaking FORUM!
Debate is what FR was built on and FOR, if LDS members get their wittle feelings hurt because other conservatives want to know and understand every wacky detail of their religion, they NEED to move on. I don’t care HOW supportive they’ve been of the conservative cause. I for one am SICK and FED UP with their incessant whining about BIGOTRY every time their religion is prodded.
Somehow I’ve managed to have knock-down-drag-out debates with atheists, animal rights activists, liberals of the commie color, and even hard-core wiccans right here on FR without ONCE crying “bigot” “hater” or some other lame AZZ liberal catch phrase. I’m still here as are some of the folks I’ve passionately debated and even argued with.
I WILL NOT BE SILENCED BY WHINERS! If JR wants to let Mormons decide who stays and who goes then I’ll find my way to the door. But for now, what we are “BETTER THAN” is the whining crybabies who can’t stand on their own for what they supposedly believe in. Instead they run off crying how they were “attacked”.
Liberal: We must not tolerate those intolerant Christian Conservatives.
Mormons: We must not tolerate those intolerant Christian Conservatives.
Calvinist observer (scratching head): Romney looks liberal and now his supporters are looking liberal.
BTW, is this attempt to silence criticism of Mormonism what we can expect from a Romney presidency or his supporters?
demand for taut faces, lush lips and flat abs. Most shocking of all was the town that ranked first: Salt Lake City.
I have none of the above and don’t live in SLC. Isn’t SLC at least 60/40 non LDS?
PS, Anything positive, uplifting, (No pun intended) or good about Mormons, forthcoming from colorcountry today?
I have come across numerous statements against Mormons here that can be described as nasty and bigoted - not merely expression of a difference in theological interpretation.
How many blacks do you estimate would switch thier vote from Hillary to Romney if he belonged to some other religion?
Well said.
Wonder how many here (I hope few) would want to join forces with the notorious anti-Mormon anti-religion bigot, Lawrence O’Donnell per the following ugly, nasty stuff:

OD trashes the Catholic Churchs teachings, in addition to slamming the Mormon Church and holding Romney responsible for every aspect of Mormonism.
Incredibly, after OD describes Joseph Smith as a criminal, he admits that he wont say similar things about Mohammad because Im afraid for my life if I do.
How upside down is that? OD admits that he can totally slime Mormons because they are nice people, but he wont dare do anything similar to Islam because some of them are not so nice. (If logical, he might conclude that trashing nice people and their religion is not nice, nor is it deserved or appropriate.)
A flipping men.
But you're not trying to establish any kind of "guilt by association"?
Yes they are deranged over there. That’s because they have no moral values, guide or compass. If it feels good they do it.They are their own truth. God and His revelation and His only Son, Jesus, are not esteemed over there. Over here at FR, we still esteem the God of the Old and New Testaments. And always will
“. . . FR is better than that.”
Sadly, it’s not.
Sofaman, we are fighting this thing together.
I am appalled at the bigoted behavior on site here.
The vocal few are following false teachings, plain and simple, when they judge the faith of another.
This religious intolerance is not what America was founded on.
Yes, yes it is.
You got anything good to say about liberals?
My husband is good looking, honest, kind and hardworking. He is a Mormon.
My mother is vivacious, attractive, and charming. She is a Mormon.
My brother is dedicated, humble, and self-sacrificing. He too is Mormon.
I am (by some Freepers definition) a bigoted hater.
The constitution doesn’t forbid voters to apply a religious test to candidates in deciding how they vote. It stops the government from doing so.
