Mormonism gets mocked in FR too.
Mormonism is worthy of discussion and debate but it often gets smeared for being too conservative by liberals.
Well I guess that means in that at least one respect, his faith, Mitt Romney is “conservative.”
Too bad he isn’t when it comes to policy, then I might consider voting for the guy, which I never will considering his flop flopping liberal Republican record.
The media aren't so much anti-Mormon as they are practiced at their art of supporting only the left. The two important facts about the media and religion are 1) they don't like anyone who believes in God or anything other than the most abstract way and 2) they make a point of mocking anyone who is Catholic, a Fundamentalist, or any other traditional Bible Believing Church, because they know they can divide Christian conservatives. No matter what church a conservative goes to there are other conservatives who will refuse to vote to them due to their being a part of that church.
The media beating on the religion or religious outlook of a conservative candidate is just another of the divide and conquer tactics they always apply and that always works for them. If they don't think they can peel away a lot of support mocking the religion of a conservative, they'll make a bit of noise about it, then gather all the information they can about it to use later when they accuse the conservative of doing something that contradicts their religion. Any way they can, they make use of the fact that a significant number of conservatives are more likely to refuse to vote for specific sorts of fellow Christians than they are to vote for Secular Humanist who says "my faith is very important to me" but otherwise is obviously not putting their faith into practice.
The headline is misleading. The tasteless goofball with the remote mic was syndicated radio host and commentator, Ben Ferguson. It was the TV Station’s choice to invite the outside political opinion, but much worse has been done in the past, and it is likely this is just a small blip compared to what is ahead leading up to November of next year.
I wouldn’t vote for a Mormon either, unless he is running against Urkel.
Liberals do not define themselves -- or others -- by "the content of their character".
Liberals define themselves -- and others -- by their politics.
Sure, all of them, Romney, Reid, Hunstman, whoever else...they all believe in what is by any definition a cult. They’re only taken seriously at all because of the amount of time that has passed, but just reading a little of the history and tenets of Mormonism makes it hard to take seriously, kind of like the Scientologists.
That interview was an extreme example of journalistic malpractice.
Here’s Larry O’Donnell’s infamous anti-Mormon rant four years ago on The McLaughlin Group. I haven’t seen him on that show since.

why pick on his religion, when his politics are so lame?
Could it be worse than being the founder of RomneyCare?
Give a fool a microphone and camera and this is what you get. I’d like to see this fool mock islam in this fashion.
Paying lip service to and practicing are two different mindsets. Dems pay lip service to religion......the rest of us practice our faith. IF you practice your faith, forgetaboutit. Just by the looks of Ramsey with his loyal wife and children lined up, they KNOW he practices. Like Sarah with her down syndrome child, they KNOW. Therefore, they know who to hate. Not all that hard to figure out.
I had to go looking for the video off-site. It was one of the most blatant hit pieces ever. Funny, given the Ben Ferguson was introduced as a conservative. Would they do that with a Muslim, they have some pretty strange beliefs? How about any other religion. Of course, they wouldn’t go after Reid. Shame on Memphis Fox.
That’s funny. A large percentage on FR mock Mormonism.
The title of this Article is misleading. I do not think he was “mocking” at all. I think he was presenting a valid truth: Romney’s Momon religion could play a pivotal role in his campaign for the Presidency. Don’t think for a minute that Obama and Company won’t pull this out of their bag of dirty tricks if Romney is the nominee.
Unbelievable? From a so-called journalist? Not hardly!
Miyth’s liberal record concerns rational people! Oh! Journalist......never mind!
I used to think I could vote for a Mormon. But after some thought, I figured, “If he’s stupid enough to fall for Joseph Smith’s made-up religion, then he’s too stupid to be President.” Not sure I could vote for someone who really believes all that silliness.
FWIW, IMHO.
Unbelievable: TV Reporter Mocks Romney’s Mormonism
