I see. The people who sell porn are not responsible for the selling of porn. (Pray tell, Resty, who is?)

Refusing to be drawn into a discussion based on facts and reasoning, Resty then retreats once again to the favorite refuge of Romney defenders:

“You are so consumed with blind contempt for the LDS and Romney!”

(Funny, how come when somebody criticizes Rudy’s record, they’re not accused of being anti-Catholic? And why aren’t McCain’s critics routinely accused of being anti-Episcopalian?)

But why do you keep dodging the question, Resty?

Prominent LDS Church member John Harmer, chairman of the Salt Lake City-based anti-porn group The Lighted Candle Society, says Marriott and other hotel chains are wrong to sell porn. And he does hold board members like Romney responsible.

Since prominent LDS Church member John Harmer disagrees with Marriott and Mitt (and you) on the selling of porn, does that mean prominent LDS Church member John Harmer is also “consumed with blind contempt for the LDS”?

Or since you disagree with prominent LDS Church member John Harmer on this issue, does that mean that you, Resty, are “consumed with blind contempt for the LDS”?

Hint: the easy way out, rather than just keep dodging it, is to finally lay down the “poor victim of religious persecution” weapon you’re so used to wielding and just admit that non-Mormons can agree or disagree with Mormons, and Mormons can even disagree with each other, and none of it has anything to do with their religion.

Marriott’s porn sales, and Romney’s share of responsibility for such sales, have nothing to do with their religion (except to the extent that porn sales is at odds with the tenets of their own faith).

Whoever owns Hilton Hotels is guilty too, and I haven’t a clue what religion if any they are...except I read Paris says she found God in jail recently, if that’s any indication.
