  • Slates Bigotry blindness...

    ''Republican voters, faced with a choice between a say-anything robo-pol and a genuine, slightly nutty Southern boy, chose the guy without any money. Romney was so noxious that Republicans actually chose the less viable candidate—not what Republicans are supposed to do'' Slate, how about stating the obvious! Romney lost the south because of ...

  • Peddling religious sensationalism

    There's an interesting article on this topic, situating Romney in the context of a variety of fraudulent claims currently being made about a number of religious and scientific issues, here: http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/jesus-judas-and-dead-sea-scrolls-peddling-religious-sensationalism-america

  • It's not so much his Mormonism

    Look, no matter what God Romney prays to his fatal liability is his chameleon record. He the poster child of the I'll-say-or-do-anything-to-be-the-president pack -and there are a few - this election. Who knows what 'epiphany' he might experience as commander in chief of the world's greatest military? Yeah, he's good-looking and charming and ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • Hitchens' Hate Speech

    Frankly, Hitchens remarks are every bit as offensive as those which got the likes of Don Imus and Jimmy the Greek fired. Hitchens equates membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (which, by the way is not the ''so-called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,'' even Hitchens must know that) with membership in the Ku Klux ...

  • 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 ...

  • Re: Mitt Romney

    More like: If it walks like a duck, smells like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like Mitt, it's a muck. But my real concern is that Mitt's never invited me to a Sunday service in Boston's local Tabernacle. And I figure that any organization that gets a religion tax subsidy/exemption from the public shouldn't bar the door to the public, ...
