Excellent summary. They've had 180 years of practice being victims, can't refute the facts and resort to name-calling as their strategy.
Romney is stronger with the bigots opposed to him. Decent people see them as repugnant.

Its like my pastor said yesterday
People who curse or use words to represent cursing dont know God or respect God
What I am saying is bigots are scum. That clear enough ?

So you are saying that the Mormons were scum when they were racist bigots against black people ???
See Elsie’s informative expose # 124
Either the mormons were bigots and therefore scum
or you dont know what you are talking about...
or you are bigoted towards non-mormons...
I agree. It was a good speech. Nice to have a candidate who is outraged and not pussy footing around the issues.
There's no contradiction here sport. I liked the liberal, flip flopper Romney leaps and bounds over the liberal flip flopper McCain. Yet a vote for either is a liberal, flip flopper vote. Very simple to comprehend really.
That would identify YOU as a mittgot - someone who thinks their preferences for decision-making are superior to how everyone else follows their conscience and handles their private vote casting decisions.
Ah geez, playing a victim again... Romney is a flip flopper.
Call her what you want, but did you understand her message? She was spot on.

I do not wish to call her anything, and I agree that her message has merit. Where I have problems is in her choice to sink to the gutter with her language the way the left does. The English language is a rich one, so it is not difficult to find the proper language for framing one’s thoughts in a respectable way.
Until just about 30 years ago, the average middle class woman would be very upset at a man for using such language in her presence and would not disgrace herself by making such a pronouncement in public, let alone in a statement aimed at convincing a large number of people to embrace a particular polical perspective.
Those that don't learn from history...
And then there were the FRMORMONs that just HAD to bring up Nazism; too!
Those were RACIST bigots.
I got MORE stuff from RELIGIOUS bigots here:
Joseph Smith continues: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (, p.270).Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (, p. 119).Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" ( 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" ( 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" ( 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (, vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" ( 10:230).Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (, p. 255).Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (, 18:172).President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (, vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (, 10:127).James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (, p.182).President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (, vol. 3, p.282).More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (, p.316).President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (, vol. 2, p.196).
You've come a long way; Baby!
If there were; dobncha think they would have been called out and EXPOSED by now?
You’ve come a long way; Baby!

And now, the foulest language seems to come forth from female mouths. Sad, isn’t it?
Why would anyone care if he is a mormom? I’m a Catholic, and I don’t care....
