Unbelievable: TV Reporter Mocks Romney's Mormonism
Commentary ^ | July 7, 2011

Posted on 07/09/2011 6:52:15 PM PDT by T.L.Sink

Polls show there's an anti-Mormon bias among voters - especially Democrats, more than a quarter of whom say they wouldn't vote for a Mormon. But this video of a Memphis Fox affiliate ridiculing Mitt Romney about his religion is a real wake-up call [video]. The whole news segment appears to be about Mormonism and the 2012 election, but skip ahead to the 3:20 mark for the worst of it [video].

How many Democrats who have this anti-Mormon bias have said that the same religious criteria now applied to Romney should also be applied to Senate majority leader Harry Reid, also a Mormon? I guess it just depends on which Mormon has the acceptable political ideology.

I couldn’t care less about his religion. I’m more concerned with his liberalism.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a Mormon or not.

He’s a big-time RINO and will never get my vote.

People like this are sad human beings. I hope they know the Lord is listening, and He will remember to ask them when their time comes.

I think its time for an Amish president. They seem pretty good at leaving things the hell alone.

I will say that I don’t like Romney for various reasons but I have no issue with the man being a Mormon. It disturbs me immensely that a reporter will mock someone being Mormon when we have no idea of the religion of the POTUS. (We have strong feelings what he is but no one has ever said he is X and X only). Once again, a double standard.

A Daoist President could turn us around in a heartbeat. But he would require a Daoist Congress. And line-item veto power. ;)

If Romney acted like a Mormon instead of just another slimy politician, he would actually be more attractive of a candidate.

To start Romney is a stink’n liberal, ok that’s really all there is - he is a stink’n liberal.

Funny that Dingy Harry Reid's faith is never ridiculed, derided, mocked, or spoofed.

I dislike Romneys politics. I don’t like RINOS. His religion should have nothing to do with running for president. Mormons love the Lord also and that’s good enough for me.

The liberal hypocrisy is getting tiresome. Some day they will pay for their blindness and ignorance.

Much worse gets said about Christians by the media, they usually are soft or even protective of the anti-Christian cults, like many of the atheists here at FR.

The question asked at 3:20 is not mocking it is an actual belief of mormonISM. This entire video was not mocking mormons is was mocking mormonISM.

No doubt Harry's faith is more fervent than Mit's.

Interesting how a mere "newsie" was able to sense that. Didn't Heinlein call that "groking"? Or was that just a laying on of the hands like Benny Henn.

Could you tell me which part was mocking Mitt Romney or Mormonism?

I just watched all six minutes and six seconds of it, and must have missed it entirely.
