With Nodlers support and Baby Boy Blunt on the bandwagon, this man Romney is sure to get elected to something. I hope he picks BB Blunt as a vice candidate. He would make Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar. Can't you see the questions flying at BB Blunt and no one there to save him in a VP Debate. Talk about a walk in the park.
Romney is scary. Does any real person endorse him or is it just the deep-pocketed politicos with fake hair. Scientific fact: the more gel in your hair the more you support Romney.
Randy Randy, Its time for you ta take your Prozac. Your obsessive-compulsive disorder is showing your Nodler fixation is back.
Oh, come on. It's a funny headline and just about everybody except you knows it.
So you wrote a "funny" headline-great piece of journalism for someone who claims to be a perfect reporter/editor.
But, note to Gary, welcome aboard.
I have studied this race and about two weeks ago made my choice for Romney. Now let's get to work and get him the nomination! If we can pull it off, our funny headline writer will have plenty of fodder for his pea-shooting cannon.
It is a "funny" headline from a "funny" (as in Weird or creepy) headline writer. Randy we aren't laughing with you, we are laughing at you!
I can't sanely vote for a Mormon. Read the book, Under the Banner of Heaven for how ridiculous this religion is and ask yourself, "do I want a person to believes this as my president." The answer should be no!!!
To the last comment, it is surprising and disappointing that religious bigotry rears its ugly head in the 21st Century.
Some people would say the same thing about Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics and Jews. Those words would be a form of hate speech if applied to any religion and should be repudiated by any true American.
I think the headline is funny. I think the photo ops may be funnier. Can you see the wheelchair-bound citizens (some Iraqi vets) chained together to prevent the entry of Noder and Blunt to a Romney event. Even FOX would have a hard time ignoring that to cover another Paris/Lindsey/Britany scandal...wait, I underestimate FOX.
If you want a perfect example of religious bigotry, just look at what is going on in the middle east.
Reading the anonymous comment about "Under the Banner of Heaven" and using the book to understand today's Mormons helps me better comprehend why the KKK originated in Southwest Missouri. It's like reading The Da Vinci Code to understand the true nature of Catholicism.
Where did you get the idea that the KKK originated in southwest Missouri. Please provide your sources for your statement.
The KKK had its start in Pulaski, Tenn. I didn't have to look that up. It's kind of common knowledge to anyone remotely interested in history.
And the KKK of the 1860s is NOT the KKK of the 1920s, 1960s and today.
The difference between the Mormons and the Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Protestants, ect. Is that the those religions are so old, even if they are false and based upon the inane ramblings of a charismatic, yet illiterate leader, it would be impossible to prove. But close investigation of the LDS church reveals so many holes, it is too improbable for an educated and sensible person to believe. I also don't believe it's bigotry not to want to vote for someone who's religious views are out of whack with yours. Isn't that exactly what George Bush wanted people to think of the Democratic Party in the last couple elections, that they were on a different page religiously. So why shouldn't that work the other way around? Bigotry is really the behavior you show to this person, I would never be mean or hateful, or not hire them for a job if they had the qualifications, (my late grandparents were very active in the LDS church) I just wouldn't want one as my president, because, let's face it, religion does play a role in politics now, more so than when Kennedy the "Catholic" ran in 1960.
It wasn't George Bush that painted the Democrats as hostile to religious expression in the last election, but the Democrats being hostile to religion. Also the anti-Mormon comments sound like they come from a Democrat that doesn’t understand the Constitutional principal that we place no religious test in our election practice and the 14th amendment prohibits discrimination against anyone based on religion. This anti-Mormon diatribe is really an anti-religion diatribe and pretty typical of a bigoted Democrats.
I love this "I would never be mean or hateful, or not hire them for a job if they had the qualifications". This same person has said they wouldn't vote for a President, meaning hire them for that job, even if they are the best qualified just because of their religious affiliation. Most bigots don’t realize they are bigots.
