What a bunch of bigots! Why pick on the Mormons when most other religions in the world also condemn homosexuality?
So now it's "irresponsible" to point out the truth?
If the queers keep this up with the violence and vandalism and the threats to people who donated to support the prop then there will be a new program on cable: “Black Eye for the Queer Guy”.
I guess us republicans should start trashing polling stations and Obama donators because we did not get what we wanted.
These people are really starting to piss me off...
These are the things that’ll win over those pesky Christians. Well done Mr./Ms gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, trans-gender, two-spirit Americans and whatever Bruce Jenner is.
Is Romney coming to their defense? If so, good, and if not, why the JoeScarbrough not??
The end of the article said — “The evangelical mantra that Mormons aren’t Christian — as well as this year’s raid in Texas of a polygamist sect, a group not always distinguished from mainstream Mormonism — feeds into that, he said.”
Well, the Evangelicals are right, in that Mormons do *not* teach basic, historic and foundational Christianity. Mormons say that *this* teaching of Christianity is corrupt and is not valid and only *they* (i.e., the Mormons) have the true Gospel. Well, that’s garbage and not true. But, it *does show* that the Mormons *recognize* that they are teaching a *different Gospel* than the traditional teaching of the historic, basic Christian Church. They can’t deny that. And hence, that’s what causes Evangelicals to denounce the Mormons as not teaching Christianity.
It goes on and says — “Richard Davis, a political science professor at church-owned Brigham Young University, said intolerance of Mormons extends from the secular left to the religious right. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Mormonism was attacked by some evangelicals — Mormon allies on Proposition 8.”
This so-called “intolerance” is just “spin language” to try and say that the basic, historic Christian teachings cannot be *distinguished* from *false teachings* of other cult groups. A “cult group” in the Christian context is *any group* that teaches anything other than the historic, basic and foundational Christian teachings — given over the centuries.
And finally — “That’s where the LDS church is right now,” Davis said, “despite years of efforts to improve the image of the church.”
Well, there is *no image* to improve — if — they are *not teaching* basic, historic and foundational Christian doctrines and teachings from the Bible (which they clearly admit, by their “denouncing” of these doctrines) that they are not!
There’s no image at all to improve — in the sense that they *try* to “make out” like they are a “Christian Group”. They are not..., they are a Mormon Group, pretending to be “Christian” but denying all the basic, historic and foundational teaching (by their own words and their own *denouncements* of historic Christianity being *defective*).

However, having said all that, if *any group* wants to denounce gay marriage, then the Christians are right in there, too...
ahhh obama’s shirts have found their new joooooooooze. (/deep sarcasm off)
The Mormon Church has been under massive persecution by the democrat party and the media since the destruction of Mitt Romney’s campaign (who would President today, had the media not have been allowed to choose thr far weaker McCain).
The gay mafia has now joined in the persecution.
There are only about 13 million Mormons worldwide.
Mormons have not retaliated against their attackers with shootings, bombings or beheadings or even with much in the way of harsh language.
Mormons are considered by many to be outside the mainstream of Christianity and therefore are not as likely to see Christians rally to their support.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been tarred as a racist organization even though all barriers to full membership and participation in the church were removed 30 years ago so there probably won’t be many blacks (who supported prop 8 by a large margin) coming to the defense of the church.
Mormons vote overwhelmingly Republican so democrat politicians and the leftist press will not give them much, if any, support or protection.
So naturally homosexuals are fearless in their assault on the Mormons and on their church.
You will likely never see these same fearless crusaders do anything even remotely like these protests in black neighborhoods or at a mosque.
When did support for the institution of marriage between an man and woman become an "extremist" religious view?
Lorri L. Jean is using Saul Alinsky techniques. She is pushing forward the lie that traditional religious teaching is "extreme". Eventually, the American public will come to believe this lie. Eventually, Americans will view all Christianity as "extreme".
They would kill Christians and Mormons if they could. They just can't get away with it,.....(yet).
It’s ok to vote based on the religion of liberalism, but not on the basis of any other set of beliefs.
Should be directed at black churches.

By my calculations, grassroots Mormons supplied about 40% of the funding for Prop 8. They should be commended for this.

I would like to thank her for doing that.
“pointing to extensive Mormon organizing and the staggering amount of money donated by individual Mormons”
“The site attributes $15 million in donations to Mormons, or nearly half the Yes on 8 war chest in a state where Mormons make up 2 percent of the population.”

Any group that can do this does tend to stick out of the crowd.
