Where there anti-Mormon hate threads on FR before Romney’s 2008 campaign?

Will there be such hate threads after he drops out in 2012?

Mormons were often able to bash Christians & Christianity at will pre '07.

We occasionally gave a defense; and occasionally took the offensive.

In all these years, it's not just been Romney representing Mormons "in the news."

There was the Texas raid on fundamentalist Mormons in the Spring of '08. There was the 'Big Love' TV program. There's been the Mormon baptisms of dead Jews and others that's surfaced. Etc etc etc

Also, since you so loosely define opposition as "hate" -- I guess your "anti"ness of "antis" = "hatred" of us, eh? It's pretty obvious that you're an "anti-anti"; so tell us, what gives your "antiness" special status?

Do we go somewhere for a "license" to get opposition privileges exempt from charges of "hatred?"

I suppose it’s a good thing the leading RINO in this primary isn’t Jewish.

Why?

I've said repeatedly on threads the following:

You mean religionists might actually prefer having a POTUS in the White House who actually knows the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Why, how shocking!

Do we mean that if the Living God was called upon during a Jack Bauer-like crisis by a POTUS who actually is in a vital relationship with Him...that is problematic? What?

To hear some tell it, such a candidate would NEVER be preferred over voting for an atheist candidate on faith grounds!

Which in turn, would supposedly "weaken the religious foundation" of our country?

How does that make any sense?

Don't Jews call on the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

Well if anti-Semitism is not one of your anti’s, fine. But the pollution of FR by threads like yours shows that the bar is pretty low around here for religious-based candidate opposition.

So, what's next from you, calling anyone opposed to mormonISM a hater of Mormons?

Here's the reality for you. Milt Rominy is a disgusting two-faced conman who speaks out of both sides of his lying mouth and who changes his position as easily as a chameleon changes colors. He is not a conservative nor is he trustworthy to be the president.

Now for the stuff hard for you defenders of mormonISM to understand. Milt Rominy is not only barry bassturd lite, he is the easiest nominee for the democrat's media machine to destory. Why is he so easily destroyed in the eyes of mderates and independents, the people we are told who determine the outcome of modern presidential elections? ... Because the meida can and will expose every blasphemy in mormonISM, every idiotic assertion by the founder and subsequent leadership of LDS inc, and Milt's high priest status (Melchizadek priesthood) will become a laughing stock world-wide with any who were not well versed in the vagaries of mormonISM.

What Mormons should be thinking about is the effect such exposure of the heretical teachings hallmarking mormonISM will have on those caught in mormonism. When the media get through making a laughing stock out of mormonISM, you Mormons may get your fill of victimhood, but I doubt it.

Milt Rominy (it rhymes with hominy, the huskless corn product) is the easiest candidate for the media to destroy, thus Milt is the one the media want running against their bassturd Barry.

So, Milt is a dangerous person at this stage in the decline of this Republic, because he will be the reason democrats would win the presidency again and perhaps the best means to suppress turnout of conservative and moderate voters ... who wants to vote for a party stupid enough to nominate a man who believs he can become a god by his goodness and is a high priest in a religion which says the Blood of Christ cannot cleanse sin from those faithing in Jesus Christ?

"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]
