‘and aying that people here are bigots is ridiculous.’
I didn’t say all posters here at FR are ‘bigots’.
Lets be crystal clear, so as to avoid any irrational accusations, which you come very close to with this statement related to me.
I’ve seen some bigoted comments in this forum related to Romney and his religious point of view. I’ve seen more than one thread specifically about that alone.
I’ve seen posters make one comment on a Romney thread - ‘I won’t vote for a Mormon’.
Thats bigotry, by definition.
Thats not how all freepers feel, thats not even a significant percentage of freepers.
But it will be used at some time in the future to paint FR as a bigoted forum by those that simply detest this website.
Remember the hit piece O’Reilly did just a few weeks back?
Same thing can, and I believe WILL be done between now and next November, if Romney ends up the nominee. Watch and see.
It doesn’t help FR, it doesn’t help anyone running against Romney, it doesn’t help the GOP.
It does help those that would love to see this site disappear, however.
Amen to your post. Agree 100%.
Well said.
I wasn’t referring to you, but I think it’s one thing to be bigoted (that is, an irrational hatred of some group) and another thing to have serious reservations about something that somebody claims to be his motivating creed.
I have serious reservations about Mormonism, which is not an orthodox Christian religion, but yet which Mormons seem to consider beyond discussion. Mormons somehow seem to think it’s unfair that they explain themselves, although every other religion - except Islam - has a developed theology and is perfectly willing to explain itself.
Mormons immediately rush forward and declare that anyone who questions them or wants clarification is a “bigot.”
