Romney

[myboynoah]

Maybe he dated the Laurel class President in high school and is pissed because she wouldn't put out.

Or lost his girlfriend to the Priest Quorum First Assistant.

Here it is. One of the most entertaining anti-Mo rants of all time.

Yowza.

[Pelado]

I remember about 2 years ago watching a program where he spoke about Joseph Smith with a vitriol usually reserved for murderers. He has some issues.

Yeah, he's loony.

[creekster]

His intensity is remarkable. Buchanan's response about his great grandfather owning slaves was good.

His intensity is remarkable. Buchanan's response about his great grandfather owning slaves was good.

Note that instead of engaging Buchanan on that point, he instead pivots from accusations against Romney's great grandfather to accusations about Joseph Smith.

Oh, and he's usually very respectful to his guests:

I am surprised none of you have seen that LOD rant before. I can't stand that man. How he is able to keep a show on TV is beyond me.

He replaced Olberman in that time slot. MSNBC reserves it for total assholes.

LOD is worse than Olberman. Hell I'd take Maher over him too.

Romney: Mixed blessing for the Mos

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,5282073.story

By many accounts, the leadership of the Latter-day Saints was taken aback by the amount of anti-Mormon sentiment aired during Romney's unsuccessful 2008 campaign for the Republican nomination. The church was also said to have been shocked by a backlash over its central role in the campaign forProp. 8, the California initiative that halted same-sex marriages in the state.

The two events amounted to "a wake-up call in Salt Lake City that the church has a serious image problem," said David Campbell, a political scientist at the University of Notre Dame and coauthor of "American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us."

Evangelical Protestants, he said, questioned whether Catholics were more loyal to the Vatican or to their country, and even whether they should be called Christians. Mormons have faced similar questions in recent months, with one prominent evangelical pastor, Robert Jeffress of Dallas, calling Mormonism a non-Christian cult.

All that could be stirred up even more in a general election campaign. "I think we've only just begun to see the kind of anti-Mormon rhetoric that will emerge," Mason said.

Also...

The nomination of Romney, a onetime Mormon bishop who remains active in the church, would be "a 1960, JFK moment for Mormons, where the glass ceiling is shattered," said Patrick Q. Mason, a professor of Mormon studies at Claremont Graduate University, referring toJohn F. Kennedy's election as the first Catholic president.

Patrick Mason went to Claremont so who knows if he even had the legitimate SAT scores to go to college.

I think it was smart for Romney supporters to not use the term "Man Mitt" this time around.

Romney for POTUS: The thread that makes the case and gives neutrality the finger

Oops.

[LA Ute]

I've posted this before about Lawrence O'Donnell. Hugh Hewitt interviewed him a few days after the rant:

HH: Would you say the same things about Mohammed as you just said about Joseph Smith?

LO’D: Oh, well, I’m afraid of what the…that’s where I’m really afraid. I would like to criticize Islam much more than I do publicly, but I’m afraid for my life if I do.

HH: Well, that’s candid.

LO’D: Mormons are the nicest people in the world. They’re not going to ever…

HH: So you can be bigoted towards Mormons, because they’ll just send you a strudel.

LO’D: They’ll never take a shot at me. Those other people, I’m not going to say a word about them.

HH: They’ll send you a strudel. The Mormons will bake you a cake and be nice to you.

LO’D: I agree.

HH: Lawrence O’Donnell, I appreciate your candor.

Funny and fascinating, on several levels.

Some times being the nice folks doesn't seem to pay off in the end.
