Sorry, I'm far from a Romney fan, but . . . exactly how is this different from the way they will treat any candidate the Republican Party puts up who is an avowed, unashamed, Christian? Haters are gonna hate and they will use any weapon they can find against those they target--including painting any Mormon, or Christian as "extremist," out of the mainstream, "dangerous," and/or wanting to establish a theocracy.

I'm sorry, but these people are going to bash anyone they oppose with any number of illegitimate, twisted and distorted representations of what they support and believe.

I oppose Romney (with good reason) because he is a left-of-center moderate who is not to be trusted, not because of how he or his Mormonism might be portrayed by the MSM and the other Democrat propagandists.

Does anyone really believe that Romney's being a Mormon has anything to do with these attacks? Really? He's a threat to Obama's re-election, pure and simple.

If Cain is nominated, it will be "he wants to electrocute illegal aliens, tax the poor, has turned his back on his past and his own people, etc. etc.

If Perry is the nominee, he will be labeled "stupid," dangerous, an extremist Christian, want's to destroy the federal government, etc. etc.

Worrying about how some candidate will be treated by the press is the silliest argument there is.

You are right on. If a candidate is a conservative, they will be ridiculed as an idiot by the press. IMHO, this is because they are usually MORE intelligent and informed, and it’s part of the leftist playbook to attack and thus negate conservative areas of strength.

For instance, do we ever hear Bachmann is a tax attorney? Palin is an energy expert who DID have a hostile power on her doorstep as governer of Alaska? That Cain IS a “rocket scientist”?

Mormonism has huge problems, stemming from their belief God is flesh and blood. Huge problems come from small heresies. But the Mormons I know try to live exemplary lives, and value their family above all. That is not part of what disqualifies Romney. But expect huge shows on all the weird aspects of mormonism with charts and “experts” all over the alphabet networks if Romney wins the primary.

You nailed it. I don’t like Romney because he’s a liberal, not because he’s a Mormon.

It’s ironic and sad that freepers are aligning themselves with the violently anti-Christian New York Slimes on this.

#1: For some on the attack, it'll be just a matter of degree. Maher lambasts all religions -- or at least Catholicism, Christianity, Mormonism, etc.

Even for him, “By any standard, Mormonism is more ridiculous than any other religion”...

#2: Look @ Prop 8. Evangelicals & Mormons & minorities & Roman Catholics especially teamed up to pass that in CA. Who did the libs go after for the most part? Minorities? (Nope; not at all). Evangelicals & Catholics? (Some) Mormons? (Yup)

That's the same "formula" that would carry over

I'm sorry, but these people are going to bash anyone they oppose with any number of illegitimate, twisted and distorted representations of what they support and believe.

Obviously, the MSM distorts & twists all it touches. The thing about Mormonism is that it's so bizarre it won't have to. (And nor does it in this article)

I can’t vote for Romney because Jesus comes first in my life, Romney’s religion is false and they pervert my savior

This song says it much better than I can
