The intolerance and vitriol of some FR posters and Huckabee mormonphobes is self-evident and has been -- the cut and paste queens, the snarly victims who escaped the awful claws of the "cult", the all-knowing who quoted and misquoted geezers from over 150 years ago, the frenzied attack squad who with Christian "love" hacked away at Romney's faith in condescending meanness.
They're the ones who now claim with wide-eyed innocence that Romney's mormonism had nothing to do with losing votes to the preacher man and that well, gosh, we're all bigots.
Sadly, many decent people were only doing the "Lord's work" as they understood it to be -- they listened to their pastors and preachers and voted the way the preachers told them to. Huckabee and his fellow mormonphobes did their job well. Romney left McCain to lose in the general election. Huckabee's only role was to win away the evangelical vote from Romney. Huckabee's work is finished -- so is he.
No vitriol THERE, eh, EO?
They're the ones who now claim with wide-eyed innocence that Romney's mormonism had nothing to do with losing votes to the preacher man and that well, gosh, we're all bigots.
And the mormon defenders claim with wide-eyed innocence that they are the "victims" and never "hacked away in condescending meanness" as YOUR post and the following post illustrate:
This is the same spirit that we see on the other side of the world, the Jihadists. We too have fundamentailst who think they must do God’s work by destroying the “enemy.” Ours too attack from the shadows and won’t identify themselves. That is, they know they are doing dirty work, so they won’t say what church or religion they represent. However, by the details of their posts, we know they are fundamentalist Evangelicals. They are like the "sons of thunder" who wanted to bring down fire onto a city, to whom Jesus said, "Ye know not what spirit ye are of."
Their activities on these threads accomplish two valuable things, however. They give Mormons and many others a chance to show their reasonableness compared to this antagonistic spirit. And second, it serves to demonstrate to us what we must never allow into the oval office, a narrow minded, intolerant, antagonistic, fundamentalist Evangelical.
If anyone believes this debate has been as one-sided as the mormon defenders claim, just go back and read some of the threads.
LOL
You mention quoting geezers from 150 years ago.
One of my favorite geezers lived on this earth about 2000 years ago. Maybe you’ve heard him quoted, too?
His name is Jesus of Nazareth.
