Larry O'Donnell's Anti-Mormon Rant: 'Demented, Racist, Pro- Slavery, Crazy, Ridiculous'

Lawrence O'Donnnell, already famous for his in-your-face rant at John O'Neill of the Swiftboat Veterans, is at it again. This time, O'Donnell's target is Mitt Romney, and in particular his Mormon religion. Appearing on last night's McLaughlin group, O'Donnell indulged in an angry, protracted condemnation of Mormonism.

Excerpts:

* This was the worst political speech of my lifetime. Because this man stood there and said to you and said "this is the faith of my fathers." And you, and none of the commentators who liked this speech realize that the faith of his fathers is a racist faith. As of 1978 it was an officially racist faith, and for political political convenience in 1978 it switched. And it said "OK, black people can be in this church." He believes if he believe the faith of his fathers, that black people are black because in heaven they turned away from God, in this demented, Scientology-like notion of what was going on in heaven before the creation of the earth.

Ah, I remember his profound statement to John O'Neill of the Swiftboats......

"LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR
LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR
LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR
LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR"

Did I foreget anything?

[Unam Sanctam]

The religious tolerance of liberals on display again...

[Sherman Logan]

As the article points out, early Mormons did not own slaves, and were even, not entirely accurately, accused by their Missouri neighbors of being Black Abolitionists.

[Loud Mime]

Affirmative Action is racist, yet its backed by Democrats.

The Republican party was founded on the abolition of slavery, the Democrats dissented.

the evils of O’Donnell’s religion are the ones we have to beware of....and they’re getting worse.

Larry is a frothing nut

[BenLurkin]

Larry O’Donnell?

Never heard of him.

[MNJohnnie]

Why is this insane lunatic treated anywhere seriously? This is the SAME clown after the 2004 Elections went around seriously arguing the Blue States “should succeed from the Red states”.

This clown is a demented loser. Any show that assigns him credibility should be laughed off the air.

[SuziQ]

Amazing, but I just can’t picture Lawrence O’Donnell going off the deep end about Islam, can anyone else? I guess his liberal tolerance only goes so far.

[MNJohnnie]

“creepy liar” was thrown in their a few times.

[Ouderkirk]

Let’s substitute Islam for Mormon and play that again. How do you think that would play amongst his liberal pals.

[puroresu]

I’m neither a Mormon nor a Mitt supporter, but I’d place Mormonism light years ahead of the demented religion of O’Donnellism. This guy’s a total loon.

[God luvs America]

didn’t O’Donnell get caught in a lie about Plamegate naming leakers???

[HardStarboard]

Larry O'Donnell....Never heard of him.

Me either....related to Rosie I assume.

[hinckley buzzard]

Sounds just like a half a dozen freepers lately..

[Ouderkirk]

His religion is based on the work of a lying, fraudulent, criminal named Mohammad who was a racist, who was pro-slavery, whose religion was completely pro-slavery. He was given an opportunity to distance himself from the evils of his religion, and he didn’t.

Mohammad was a slavery champion, the inventor of this ridiculous religion
