Polls show there's an anti-Mormon bias among voters - especially Democrats, more than a quarter of whom say they wouldn't vote for a Mormon. But this video of a Memphis Fox affiliate ridiculing Mitt Romney about his religion is a real wake-up call [video]. The whole news segment appears to be about Mormonism and the 2012 election, but skip ahead to the 3:20 mark for the worst of it [video].

Religion affects character, and so no I would not vote for a non-Christian or even a liberal Christian. Just because someone claims to be a Christian doesn’t automatically mean they get my vote, but someone whose actions or words show they are not a Christians will never get my vote.
AFA Catholics, their teaching that our faith is shown by our works is Biblical and in line with all other Christian churches. Regarding churches that agree with Homosexuality, they are not in line with the Bible and in danger of falling away - however, individual members can still be conservative Christians and there track record should be a factor.
You are putting the blame on the ‘religion first’ crowd but it isn’t them, it is the politicians and people who DON”T put faith first. Americans have for too long voted for people who aren’t conservative or Christian because they are concerned more about their pocketbook and being PC (like those who think Romney’s religion doesn’t matter) than they are concerned about character and worldview.
Frankly, this country CANNOT be turned around by people who are not Christians. Character matters and someone who is not a Christian, no matter how conservative they claim to be will do nothing to stem the the elimination of every Christian symbol that is an intrinsic part of this nation.
Your allegation that I am a perfect candidates for mormon conversion is asinine, ignorant, insulting and disgusting.
- - - - -
And accurate. I trained to be a Mormon missionary (didn’t serve because I didn’t like being told I had to lie to potential converts) and you are the ‘golden contact’ we were looking for.
The “cliche” (and yes I know the definition) is a phrase one of my friends in ministry to the LDS uses to describe people with your attitude. You can take it up with Rocky Hulse if you wish.
I find it amusing that you accuse ME of high and mighty holier than thou attitude, insulting barbs and cheap shots,
when you have been doing the same thing.
I don’t give a damn if you are ‘impressed’ with me, I don’t do this for you, I do it for Christ and my conscinece is clear. BTW, I’m not at all impressed with the likes of you either.
The top of the page says it is a religion thread. If it was posted as something else, than that was an error.
Wow, it is all about you, huh? Go crawl back under your rock and wallow in your self-righteousness. I will pray Christ will reach you.
Soooo...WHY did you post this thread?? "Unbelievable: TV Reporter Mocks Romney's Mormonism"
Mormon Bishop, Mitt Romney, has the most hard left, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, anti-Christian, choosing liberal judges, record, of any serious Republican Presidential candidate that we have ever seen, why are you defending him?
How would y’all like your religion being mocked ?
________________________________________________
Im a Christian so I am doctrinarly mocked by Mormons...
and in these threads...
When my children were little they were mocked and harassed because they were Christians by mormon children encouraged by their parents as we would enter our church years ago
the mormon religious buildings were next to the church with a chain link fence between
On Sunday mormonings the Mormon kids would line the fence and yell insults at the Christians coming in from the parking lot..the only way we could go..
They would giggle and sneer and yell things like
“Youre going to Hell because youre not a mormon”
Youre bad because you dont go here”
“Youre not atoned/saved/whatever because youre not one of us”
et6c
from tiny tots up to about 10 and a few older, they chortled and acted errr “unChristlike”
The adults would stand back near their building and laugh like hyhenas and call out encouragement to the mormon children...
My littlw girl would sometimes scream in terror and that sort of reaction always got the mormons excited...they had smelled blood...I would have to pick her up and run into the church with her...
They would pick on her and call her worse names...
Oh but its not mocking is it when its the Mormons doing it to a little 2 year old Christian girl ???
When our pastor went over to speak to the mormon “bishop” or whomever, he was cursed at and run off...oh dear Mormon leaders use four-letter words..
I was usually in the pastors lounge in the mornings before church and I happened to hear him tell the elders and their wives what happened...
He was shocked and appalled at the treatment he got...
Nevertheless the attacks on Christians and especially defendless Christian children from the “nice mormon neighbors” never ceased while we went to that church..
Mocking anyone ???
I am LMAO at you.
It’s nice out here today, so I will soon go out and wash and wax my Airstream trailer. Then I need to load my Harley into the bed of my Tundra.... that get’s harder every year.
Once I have everything ready to travel, I’ll find me some of those mormon books that YOU used to hand out and head down the road and spread the word about that planet and magic underwear you used to believe in. LMAO at a fool.
Goodbye. LOL
R were are not talking about other groups. We are talking about mormonISM not being Christianity. It is clear mormonISM is not Christianity in any sense of the word.
Oh snap. Good catch, grey. I wish I would have caught that.
Why are you lying and saying I'm defending him?
Well, R, I can’t say why other people are talking about “it” but you and I are talking about it because you gave the impression that mormonISM was Christianity. I am simply pointing out it is not in any sense of the word.
You are correct Romney is a stink’ liberal in every sense of the word.
Actually, you never asked what my impression of Mormonism is and still haven’t. I said they consider themselves to be Christian and if in doing so they are prone to voting conservative I see no reason to run them off. You won’t win them to Christ without talking to them individually anyway. Romney is worthless and worse based on his record, I can make that point without at the same time calling every Mormon an idiot for following a cult when they don’t see themselves that way.
You are the fool. May God have mercy on your soul. You can’t preach what you don’t know.
Maybe you should invite the Mormon missionaries over, you are a perfect candidate for them.
And yes I did believe I would be a goddess some day, and all the other stuff of Mormonism, but I was a teenager. I left when I was an early adult. God opened my eyes I pray he will open yours.
You go play with your toys, I will be busy preaching the Gospel.
Wow! I can't believe somebody wrote this on this site!
Let's first start with the tail end of that statement...[actually I started writing "tale end" vs. "tail end" and realized in this case, either applied}..'cause either way, you've posted a mostly strawman statement!
Are you saying that just because we didn't know if Obama got a "B" or a "C" in a certain college course, that we were somehow lacking a solid "on-the-issues" eval of Obama where we could make a judgment & keep the focus on those issues? (And therefore he was more open to being evaluated by the Sunday morning company he kept in terms of whose shadow he fell while listening to their sermon?) Yes? Really?
Are you saying we didn't have enough "issues" info about Obama from his IL rep years -- a state senator 1997-2004 & a U.S. Senator 2004-2008 -- so sermon-gazing became an allowable "issue" by the FR gatekeepers who otherwise try to fence off "religion?" Really?
And we knew virtually nothing of the way Chicago runs things with its "community organizers" like Obama, so the ad hoc committee to hermetically seal religion from politics let that one pass, after all? Really?
And then onto the most unbelievable part of what you just said: What? You think there wouldn't be -- or wouldn't have been if we're referencing the 2008 campaign -- enough to condemn Obama were we to leave out Jeremiah Wright? How is that some "big difference?"
Here, I'll even take your exact words about Romney & apply them to Obama: The big difference is that Obama is totally unqualified to be POTUS by his record without ever mentioning his religion...
ALL: Does this statement -- applied to Obama -- pass muster, FREEPERS??? Yes? Vehemently NO!?
Now ya wanna 'plain the "big difference" 'tween Obama's & Romney's qualifications here?
Wow! If you were a card-carrying FREEPER member, I'd think it wouldn't surprise me if thousands of them asked you to turn in your card.
Wow! Just wow! The depths posters go to try to explain away their outright hypocrisies!
Why bother to talk about it at all when the guy is disqualified by his record?
- - - - -
Because the GOP establishment wants him to get the nomination and it will be an uphill battle to make sure he doesn’t. Many of the GOP are moderates who will vote for the guy they are told is ‘out in front’ and that means Romney.
If he does get the nomination, his Mormonism will be the center of the debate, not his record since it is the same as Obama’s views.
The easiest way to get us to stop talking about Romney’s Mormonism is to make sure he doesn’t get the nomination, otherwise his religion will be the topic for all of 2012.
Well, personally I'm not trying to "win" mormons to Christ. Having been one, I believe the only way they will ever find Christ is through finding that they have been hoodwinked.
I aim to warn others that may swallow the lies of the mormon missionaries and TV and radio ads.
What is YOUR plan to win others to Christ? If your posts here are an indication, I wish you luck.
I haven’t seen an answer to my question yet, have you?
"Ok, then any other candidate is safe from your starting issue with them being their religion, right? For anyone not a member of one of those groups you'll look at their record in office and their actions."
" It's time to judge people on their record and if they insist on going to Hell themself but help to turn the country around, so be it."
Look at your posts, look at what I quoted from you, you are fiercely defending him while sometimes also condemning his politics, but the overall role you are taking on this thread is his defense.
Maybe it is only Mormonism that you are defending and using Romney for that purpose, why are you doing that?
“......he will open yours.”
My eyes are wide open and I see you for what you are.
As for my toys..... oh ya, I have lots and lots of toys. God provided them and I am very thankful.
You are like most ex-wives, you insist on the last word and you refuse to shut up. Hmmmm, maybe that’s part of your mormonism training. LMAO at you again. You funnier than a rodeo clown.
What do I have to do to get you to quit posting to me, get an exorcist to do his magic on you? LOL
Now that I know that you’re a female, I would have difficulty in being rude to you, so PLEASE, just shut up.
