How can someone hold up a book they claim to be the inspired word of God, and at the same time refer to details in that book as a “canard”???

Are they admitting that Joseph Smith was writing from his own opinion or speculation???

They cannot have it both ways.

This is why we cannot afford to have someone like Mitt Romney as president. They are simply unable to deal with common sense reality.

Compartmentalization can be costly. TOO costly given that much power.

Actually, from JS's "book" and later talks and writings, even he disagreed with what he had said earlier,....errrrr what God had told him to say differed from what God had told him to say - before.

Are you talking about the Book of Mormon? Nothing in there says anything about becoming a God. Joseph Smith hadn't thought it up yet when he thought up the BOM.
