He's literally coming out in open rebellion against the leadership of the Church, as far as I can tell. That's usually excommunication material.
I'll bet no one has ever heard Harry talk about Muslims like this.
Time for the Mormons to bounce this creep ~ and they do have their ways ~
Ummmm....did Dingy Harry just call Evangelicals “PHONY” Christians?
Harry Reid doesn’t act like a fool.....he IS a fool!
Harry Reid is beyond analyzing. He’s a piece of dirt. Ignore the moron.
As a Southern Baptist, we are taught that Mormonism is a cult.
Now, if he starts saying these things outside the community, that is a horse of a different color.
the communist dialectic at work.
the socialists/communists/progressives are more christian than christians; except when the socialist/communist/progessives gain power. then the killing of christian enemies begins and the heroes of the soviet become more like the devil than the devil.
(how tragic that more than one half of the “american electorate” will willingly vote them into office.)
bttt
Wow....I guess the great Harry Reid just said that Mormons aren’t Christian.
There a numerous supposed ‘evangelical’ voters that are firmly in the Hillry camp, she did get a New York anointing by a famous evangelical.
Do you have any link to what he actually said? I’ve read the transcript of his speech that was published before he delivered it, and I couldn’t find anything attacking mormon leaders, or talking about evangelicals.
I can’t write about it if I can’t link to a source :-)

Harry Reid is as mean spirited as you can get - his egregious take on Christianity, Mormons, or any sect, is just plain uncomfortable for the rest of us. Harry Reid must have a tumor on the brain, something is driving him plain nuts.....except when it comes to land deals………………. Where is the ethics committee on Reid, he should be recused or what ever form you use to get rid of a US Senator who ain’t fitten to represent my country in any form.
Well, since the remark doesn't hurt Reid's political career one bit but just might hurt his fellow Mormon Mitt Romney's attempts to win over evangelical voters, it' s not unreasonable to speculate that's exactly why he made it.
I have not heard him say anything against Muslims. I have heard him go into ecstasy over illegal aliens.

In Harrys’ frustration he revealed the democrat view of Christians and Christianity. All of Hillary and OBamas acting saying the republican don’t own the ‘faith issue’, was a veiled contrivance. This has always been their view of Christianity, despite their protestations to the contrary. These people live a life in the realm of fiction, cabable of confabulating on any subject at the speed of thought. They are liars and always will be liars. There is no truth in any of the democrats.
LORD, GOD, PLEASE, Isn’t it long past time that he left the public stage? Would you please arrange it? Amen.
First, does Reid get any traction from a comment like this?
The answer is "yes." He gets a lot of traction from it.
The second question is, "Why does he get traction?" There are several different answers, a few of which I'll toss in below.
Obviously he will get traction from liberals, but that's a given.
He probably gets some serious traction with it among Mormons, whose religion is often rather sharply denigrated by "evangelicals." That's natural, and "evangelicals" have only themselves to blame for it.
And Reid probably gets traction -- in some cases perhaps quite a bit of it -- among practicing Christians who do not consider themselves "evangelicals," and whose experiences with "evangelicals" (self-described) have been unpleasant.
The problem, of course, is to properly define exactly who are the "evangelicals." It's a very slippery term, and difficult to define precisely.
But Reid isn't relying on a definition -- he's appealing to people's subjective opinion of "evangelicals." We've all met people who describe themselves as "evangelicals," and who exhibit an unpleasant priggishness, shallowness, and judgmentalism that gives one the creeps -- in much the same way a really ardent Greenie does. (We meet people like that all the time, from all walks of life. The difference is that these unpleasant ones strongly and proudly introduce themselves as Christians.)
I'm not saying that all, or even most, "evangelicals" fall into that class: they don't. But everybody knows people like this, whose behavior makes Christianity seem unpleasant.
Harry Reid is playing on that, and he will score points with it.
I thought Harry Reid was raised Catholic. Did he convert?
