  • I agree- but...

    I agree with the position taken by the author that Mitt needs to talk more about his religion. Religion is one of those things that helps form the core of many people. Therefore understanding Mitt's religion can help us understand who he is and what he will stand for if elected. That being said, however, I fundamentally disagree with the manner ...

  • Romney, the cringe-factor

    Slate, Slate, Slate.... my source as a (gasp) Liberal, New England educated Latter-day Saint for some light-hearted Romney bashing and entertaining campaign videos.... What were you thinking? The ''Boxers Briefs or MORMON UNDERWEAR'' headline was cute (they're called Garments, by the way). The article, and our dear Hitch's lack of respect ...

  • Proud to be Mormon

    Wow! This article really hurt my feelings. Politics is one thing and it seems that mudslinging within campaigning is tolerated, however some of the comments made in this article went beyond mudslinging at a cadidate and were more directed at the religion itself. I don't know what exactly qualifies Mr. Christopher Hitchens as an expert of my ...

  • Mitt Romney Campaign

    It is ridiculous that Romney's faith should play such a huge role in this campaign. The Mormon way of life is commendable, and should be researched (using non-biased sources) thoroughly before any rash judgments are made about it. Why is Obama not being attacked for being Black? (Of course not, that would be discriminatory) Why isn't Clinton ...

  • Mitt the Mormon

    When you say Joseph Smith was a convicted fraud. What do you know of that? Did you know he was murdered before he was even convicted. And that at both trials he was at, they had no real proof that what he said was wrong. All they said was that it was sacrilege, and blasphemy. Have you Christopher Hitchens really studied, and researched that Mormon ...

  • What Mormons Believe!

    There is a great way to know exactly what the Mormons believe. Instead of asking all of their neighbors and enemies what the Mormons believe, why don't we take a look at it in their own words. I have looked at www.mormon.org and www.lds.org and by so doing have come to better understand that Mormons are true Christians with strong Moral and Family ...

  • blatant prejudice

    Perhaps, if one is going to write a piece on an individual with a specific religious affiliation, one should not be ''anti'' that religion. Making such petty attacks upon the LDS church only decreases the author's credibility, which was shaky enough due to factual errors about this faith. The autho states that Mormons believe that a ''skin of ...

  • Re: No way Romney

    Its a hundred(s)-year-battle that we're dealing with here, as Mormons, and in all honesty, what a great opportunity it is to answer the ''tough'' questions. To a large degree, Romney may avoid these questions because he is not the one from whom the media needs to seek answers. Why not go directly to the church leadership and those who are in ...

  • Fighting Words: Mitt The Mormon

    Christopher Hitchens and Slate's unabashed and shameless contempt for all things Mormon has been showing for months. So, today's supporting material –Mitt The Mormon -- for Hitchens nomination as ''Bigot of the Year,'' while disappointing -- as a rule, I happen to admire Hitchens writing -- was no particular surprise. Hitchens was right about ...

  • Romney & Mormonism Part 2

    I apologize for starting a new thread on this, but I received a number of responses from my friends at KF yesterday, after closing down my computer for the day, and felt it was important to address them. For those who may be reading this for the first time, please see my blog on Daily Kos: ...
