Well, this post on The American Thinker ought to produce some fun here. (Seattle, come out, come out, wherever you are!)
The opening paragraph:
The author then goes on to detail a number of anti-mormon activities. I thought the post was quite interesting; I wasn't aware of all the anti-Mormon activity that is planned. I suppose Seattle and a few others here will view all of this with a sort of grim satisfaction (along with a bit of glee), and others will try to be objective but say the Church has this coming and should have known that it would get lots of flak for its pro-Prop 8 activities. A few brave souls will express outrage.
I'll just pose my favorite question: What if the Orthodox Jewish community had gotten behind Prop 8 in a big way, raised lots of money, and were prominent in grass-roots organizing. Subsitute "Orthodox Jewish" for "Mormon" in the activities and statements chronicled on the American Thinker post. Would you find that acceptable?
Whattaya think?
The opening paragraph:
Supporters of gay marriage have reacted with anger at the passage of California Proposition 8, which amended the California state constitution to provide that only marriages that fit the traditional definition (one man, one woman) will be recognized. The resulting protest movement has devolved into anti-Mormon bigotry which has been met with silence by liberal civil rights groups. The anti-Mormon fervor has become so nasty, and is growing at such a pace, that it is time to speak out against the "Mormon boycott."
