Gee. So the black "Christians" who this reporter interviewed don't like Romney because of something his religion did historically? Where to start?
First, this is just plain bigotry to vote against someone because of their religion.
Second, Obama's political party practiced a Hell of a lot more racial discrimination in the South -- including forming the KKK as the terrorist wing of the Dem Party to murder and terrorize blacks who voted -- than the Mormons ever did.
Third, what isn't said is that these people really want to vote for Obama because he is black, period. But they are troubled by it because his positions are so anti-Christian.
So, they are in a dilemma.
Evangelical voters have been known to just not vote ~ they did it to Pappy Bush ~ of course he also showed disdain for the Republican rank and file anyway.
HE LOST
A few more things the Democrat Party has done for blacks: Slavery. The Confederate States of America. The Ku Klux Klan. Jim Crow and Gun Control. Yup, can’t see any difference, can they?
Where to start indeed.
Historically - so 1978 is so historically - ok.
So then you find it also reprehensible that people may not vote of obama because he is islamic.
mormonism is not Christianity that is what Christians have a problem with, the ignorant public trying to equate them.
And oh the whole “he cried” when the lds god changed his mind about black people, because he did not like the lds god’s policy. Except that even being in the hierarchy of the SLC lds corporation the Romney family did nothing to change it.
Oh I find it interesting you write about the KKK terrorizing black folk and quickly add mormons never did that, you are correct they terrorized everyone.
great post!

i like to believe, that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
a Republican, would not vote for the party that booed God,
just because of the color of their candidates skin.

liberals boo God... and defend Allah.
