#1, Romney's the one who was a poor excuse for a human being with the horrid excuse of “There are bad people in any church, and it’s true of members of my church, too.” (So Romney boomeranged this back on himself by trying to excuse away these mass murderers...Romney utterly failed to mention that Lds only helped to bring one murderer to justice -- out of dozens & dozens -- and didn't even ex-communicate any of the murderers save two -- and reinstated BOTH of them...one, John D. Lee, well after his death)
The Huge problem with the 19th & 20th century Mormon church wasn't just the mass murderers; but all those leaders who covered up their murders...
#2, if you're complaining about this being brought up within the timing of an election year, will you rail on the Mormon History Association, too -- when in three weeks -- they will devote a whole session section to this topic?
The session section is entitled: From Mountain Meadows to Modern Sympathies:
A BYU rep (Lawrence G. Coates BYU-Idaho) will cover: “Healing Bitterness: The Mountain Meadows Massacre” -- showing that Mormons still recognize they've done very little to alleviate the bitterness over these past 150 some years... (Mina Estevez is also speaking on: “Murdering History: Literature and the Mountain Meadows Massacre”

My attempted point was merely that the WashPost is a very biased newspaper today. (I imagine you knew that already, of course.) I did not mean to whitewash the 1857 events in SW Utah. Thanks.
Get over it; it happened over a 150 years ago. My own biological father was a real SOB bast##d, that doesn’t make me act like him.
I don’t like Romney as a candidate or a conservative, but if my choice is between him and an outright communist like Ostupid I known who I have to vote for.
