One set of standards for conservatives, another for Obama.
Kraphammer has turned out to be a real disappointment. He’s shilling for Romney, like the rest of the FOX Crew.
Sorry, but Krauthammer does not impress me. I wonder if he was this flustered with Rev. Wright?
Charles, you bore me.
Perry already said that Moromonism is NOT a cult.
Sever ties? Perry never HAD ties with the guy.
I’m a Cain man, but the MSM laying this on Perry is ridiculous.
As I understand it, Perry did not select the person who introduced him, and the objected-to comments were not made in the introduction, but in a later interview by that minister.
Making a parallel with Rev Wright is absurd - someone correct me if I’m wrong, but Perry has had no relation to this man’s congregation.
FOX News is a joke anymore!
I’ll get my news from FreeRepublic and Drudge.
Kraut never struck me as anything other than an atheist. Let’s discuss religion, who says it’s off limits?
Pray for America
What ties does Perry have with this dope? He was just used to introduce Perry at some rubber chicken dinner/speech. What does the Mondale’s man want Perry to do beyond saying he didn’t agree?
How ya bettin'?

NO he shouldnt. The democrats are mostly secular or athiest communists. If our side breaks into sects (as they want us to) then we divide OUR side into Catholic, Mormon, Baptist, Evangelicals, ect.
All they need is one group to stay home for the communist to win.
Do the dems ever have to dissassociate theirself with naked open communists, with muslim advocates, with sodomites?
If they didn’t blame Obama for Wright,, then i won’t hold any repub candidate to blame for what some random preacher says.
I don’t know about severing ties, but has Perry denounced him yet? He really shouldn’t let this drag out.
I miss the smell of Perrywinkle perfume. Can you spray some in here?
Oh the lessons “we” have learned; eh Krauthammer? Too little, way too late.
I don’t see where speaking the truth should be a political issue.
Harry Reid is a Mormon too, and I could no more vote for him either.
I think Charles is dead on. Whether or not Perry has ties w/ this misguided minister, it’s the perception that he does that will kill him among all but the religious bigot contingent.
Fox news is really against Perry because they are in the tank for the establishment candidate, Romney.
With all the perfectly sound reasons to go after Romney, this is a really crappy issue. While I realize that attacking Romney on the Mormon issue may be a winner in Texas politics, it’s a loser nationwide. Perry really needs some people in his campaign with chops in national, not just Texas, politics. And he needs to listen to them. Whatever you think of Mormonism—and I think its theology is crackers—this sort of attack is just boneheaded. Saying don’t vote for Romney because he’s a Mormon presupposes that Mormons are bad even though Jeffress tries to deny it. In fact Mormons as a group are as clean and decent and wholesome as anyone. They are also, as a group, a very conservative and Republican constituency. Why alienate them needlessly? Also, Jeffress’ definition of a cult is off. He sees cultishness as something theological, whereas the dictionary distinguishes religious cults by their propensity for controlling and cutting off their members from the outside world, and for their absolute allegiance to charismatic leaders. Mainstream Mormonism isn’t that (leaving aside some fundamentalist Mormon groups that do qualify). If Jeffress wanted to be accurate from a theological standpoint, he could refer to Mormonism not as a cult, but heretical. But “heretical” doesn’t pack the same punch. In any case, this deplorable flap will further poison Perry’s prospects for winning Jewish support. Most Jews will have nothing to do with a candidate associated with the view that Christians make better candidates than non-Christians.
