The New Anti-Semitism: anti-Mormon

But now, after the election and in the wake of Proposition 8, a Mormon neo-conservative like Romney has an even bigger problem. Now he not only would have to overcome the ill-deserved bigotry of the South, but he would also be subjected to the fury of some moderates who feel that the gays got unfairly treated in part because of Mormon influence with regards to that vote in California.

Yeah, with Romney, it was all about bigotry. Never mind his support of gay 'rights' and abortion 'rights' in the past. Never mind Romneycare. Never mind his failure to support gun rights. Never mind the clear impression that he will say anything to win over a given electorate and then change when he is selling himself to a new electorate. Never mind the lack of military background in the family, which matters quite a bit in the South.

It was all just bigotry, I tell you!

Awe, Poor Romney. New antisemitism by rear.

Hah - you mean the same CA where a majority of voters supported the initative?

This article is totally gay. But it is right - Southerners got on board with that criminal Huckabee rather than Mitt.

Romney is so...last year, and part of the reason we suffering through zer0bama.

Bring on Palin/Jindal 2012!

[SolidWood]

Oh goodness... que the violins.

The Mormons get persecuted like the Jews were?

Ill-deserved "bigotry" against Romney from "the South"?

Mitt Romney is a flaming liberal opportunist and richly deserves Conservative rejection.

The only bigotry here is the one in the article against Southerners and Christians.

And comparing skepticism of the Romnatic and the persecution of Jews is repulsive.

Well heck.

If they weren't such heretics folks would like them more.

Speaking on behalf of Dixie, we would be highly offended if anyone were to call us politically correct.

[DannyTN]

Them’s feudin words!

[DannyTN]

How can Romney claim bigotry, when we elected a Kenyan born Muslim instead?

[Frantzie]

Palin-Bachmann 2012.

We are suffering Obama because McCain. Huckabee also sucked and sadly Fred was too slow to get started. Mitt would have been better than McCain.

You damn right! ATTENTION: All liberals who think of moving to the South.

You screwed up your home states, so stay there and enjoy the rotten fruits of your labors. Don’t even think about moving here.

We don’t give a damn how y’all did things where you come from.

[wolfcreek]

Keep you eye on the prize, people!

All of this side line stuff is out there to keep our minds off the real story. Quit being haters and start being participators. WE'RE GETTING OUR AND OUR CHILDREN'S WEALTH STOLEN!!!!

"....neo-conservative like Romney...

Very funny!

Consider the sources. Probably paid by Mitt.

I’d like Palin-DeMint. I think a Conservative male Senator from the South is a perfect match for a Conservative woman Governor from the North.

[Pharmboy]

Frankly, a dug-up Nixon would have been better than McCain.

I know virtually nothing about the Mormon faith, and I don't really care to. But, I agree that there does seem to be some anti-Mormon bigotry coming from a number of different places.

That show "Big Love" is really prejudiced. And, it seems that Mormon jokes are still politically correct. As a Catholic, I take offense to much of the anti-Catholic ranting that goes on in the MSM, so I guess I don't appreciate when others are bashed as well.

[Vigilanteman]

I decided Fred was right when he told off that smarmy school marm in Iowa. But he was too late by then. Romney would've been far better than McCain because he would have at least punched back. All other factors being equal, I look at a Mormon candidate as an advantage because the rank and file of that group are more conservative than any other sect. Of course there are exceptions like Harry Reid, who pay more attention to the DNC bosses than the tenants of their religion.

"We are suffering Obama because McCain. Huckabee also sucked and sadly Fred was too slow to get started. Mitt would have been better than McCain."

Nah, we are suffering Obama because Bushbots could not bring themselves to tell Bush the voters thought the country was going in the wrong direction. Maybe by 2010 the GOP will find something more persuading than 'Vote for us, the other guy is worse.' A Contract with America did the job before.
