Mormon-basher Andrew Sullivan: ‘Romney belonged to white supremacist church’

@sullydish It must be terrifying for you to be in such a desperate place with your candidate.—
John Richardson (@JohnRichardson) October 23, 2012

@sullydish So it’s final: your living is based exclusively on stating hyperbolic nonsense—

Trig Truther and perpetual panicker Andrew Sullivan has been suffering from “profound demoralization” as of late, but today, he took his vile bigotry to another level. Unable to face the prospect of a Romney victory in November, Sullivan joined the ranks of Cher and Adam Levine and desperately lashed out at Romney for his membership in the Mormon Church. Be sure to read the whole sickening tirade.

Twitterers were furious at Sullivan’s pathetic attempt to link Romney and his faith to radical racists and rightly tore into him:

This is so demagogic. Do Catholics belong to a "pedophile church"? Faith much more complex than @sullydish pretends: twitter.com/sullydish/stat…

Hey @SullyDish – Can you please stick to actual attacks of #Romney's platform, not his religion? Thanks, America.—

@sullydish The bigotry continues from unhinged lunatic Andrew Sullivan. Sad. He got me into reading blogs, before he went insane.—

@sullydish Pathetic little man gets even more pathetic.—

@EWErickson @sullydish it's right out of the left's playbook: when all else fails, assassinate your opponent's character—

@sullydish are you seriously playing this card? You're a disgrace.—
Jeremy Avery (@therealjavery) October 23, 2012

@sullydish don't stoop to the Chicago style tactics—
JR Goodie (@theg00dJR) October 23, 2012

Hey @sullydish, I guess liberal disdain for "generalizations" only applies to criminals or arabs. Mormons are fair game? #Hypocrite

Sully in full asshole mode. RT @sullydish: Mitt Romney belonged to a white supremacist church for 31 years of his life: thebea.st/TRHB2d

@sullydish So in desperation, we're now going to start attacking Romney's faith. #childish
Shari Krueger (@sharikrueger) October 23, 2012

The same church that beat most COUNTRIES in aid to Haiti/Katrina. RT @sullydish: Romney belonged to a white supremacist church for 31 years.—
matt whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) October 23, 2012

@sullydish Of course, you could have discussed this at any time about Harry Reid, but this is timed for electoral effect. Cheap stuff.—
craig matteson (@csmatteson) October 23, 2012

@sullydish And Harry Reid for much longer than that. But I am sure your hate-mongering doesn't require consistent principles.—
The_Hurt_Mocker (@57thStateTweetr) October 23, 2012

Losing the race, losing his mind. Pathetic. MT: “@sullydish: Mitt Romney belonged to a white supremacist church for 31 years of his life…"—
Kate Lusty (@kateofkatehall1) October 23, 2012

So in disgustingly pathetic desperation @sullydish is playing the Mormon card. Thought you were better than that, Andrew.—

@sullydish you're a real disgrace—

In his editorial, Sullivan also trivialized Barack Obama’s membership in Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s black supremacist church, writing it off as nothing more than a youthful indiscretion:

Imagine further that backing this racist church was not a youthful folly on Obama’s part, but a profound commitment – that he went on a mission abroad to convert Christians to a new religion based on black racial supremacy, and has often said that the most important thing in his entire life to this day is a church whose sacred scripture declares white people to be cursed by God for their past sins – and the sign of this curse is their white skin.

A simple question: Do you think this issue would not come up in a general election or a primary? If Obama was subjected to news cycle after news cycle of clips of Obama’s actual former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, can you imagine the outrage if Obama had actually been a part of a black supremacist church – that denied whites equal access to the sacraments – for over a decade in his adult life?

What’s to imagine? Obama willingly listened to Wright damn America for 20 years.

Conservatives weren’t having any of Sullivan’s Wright apologism:

.@sullydish Good grief. As if Obama's similar time at Jeremiah Wright's church was a lesson in racial tolerance? PLEASE!—
? Ron Wallace ? (@Vote4Wallace) October 23, 2012

@EWErickson @sullydish I think Obama has him beat in the crazy church department.—
Bob Hammers (@darkiguana77) October 23, 2012

@LilMissRightie @sullydish Did anyone hear the Rev Wright video? Anti-white Anti-American chat from the alter?—
AMERY (@AMRestani) October 23, 2012

@TPCarney @sullydish And what of Obama and Reverend Wright's church. Read the tenets.—
Pat Lohr-Williams (@tishiejean) October 23, 2012

@sullydish Andrew, did it ever bother you that Obama belonged to a black supremacist church for 25 years?—
  (@vbspurs) October 23, 2012

@sullydish And Obama didn't sit in a black supremacist church for 20 years?? See how easy it is to show you up for what you are Andrew?—
Lime Lite (@limelite001) October 23, 2012

.@sullydish Fair enough, Obama belonged to a racist black church for 20 + years, and he chose it as an adut.—
Slim Pickens (@Mattie96) October 23, 2012

The hypocrisy … it burns.

@sullydish man you are polarizing and hate-filled—
GregR (@GregR61648933) October 23, 2012

@sullydish You are pretty much a horrible person. You have fallen so, so far. Examine your life.—
  (@RDPortland) October 23, 2012

@sullydish You are one vile and disgusting human being.—
  (@TxSker) October 23, 2012

Indeed. If Sullivan is still capable of feeling any shame, he should be wallowing in it. What an absolute disgrace.

When was the last time he visited Temple Square? I saw mormon girls of just about every ethnicity giving tours there....in any case, the LDS is far more diverse than PC-USA or the Episcopal Church.

As always, Sullivan is desperate to keep Obama in the White House so he can finally get US citizenship. He’s Brit-born, HIV-positive, has an arrest on a marijuana charge and was caught having public sex in Provincetown (not sure if he was arrested for that).

So, in an attempt to prove he’s a real American, the brilliant Andy loses his English accent, grows a beard that looks like a hundred thousand bees landed on his face, and tries to destroy the reputation of a Down Syndrome baby. What a guy!

Well I certainly feel he’s worth totally poking fun of. Honestly, that’s the point. Irrational, rabid, leftists deserved to have their own words scorned, and I do it as I please. Because I hope they do their usual stalking to come and see it. If they don’t bother with stalking, then, frankly, making mockery of leftist rants is energizing to the right and center.

Possibly similar to what Iranians or some Israelis appear today, would be my estimate.

Public sex, well someone has issues. Don’t know why he couldn’t just go do it in private.

Gay sex in parks. Very common, unfortunately.

Heh, heh, my question was purely rhetorical.

Sullivan and his fellow barking moonbats are unintentional entertainment. Their rants should be encouraged.
