Will Frank Rich challenge Ted Kennedy to renounce the Catholic Church’s “sexist” stance against ordaining women as priests? Hypocrite!

Looks like the NY Times is starting to fear Romney.

Romney's "crime" isn't that he's a member of a "racist" faith. It's that he isn't a liberal Democrat, like Harry Reid. If he were, if he supported gay marriage and abortion on demand, you would hear nothing but praise from Rich and O'Donnell.

World class hypocrites.

There is no church on the face of the planet with a better record of treating Blacks equally and with dignity than the LDS Church. How many Blacks were lynched or bombed--as recently as the 1960s--by good Southern Baptists?

How many Blacks have been bombed or lynched by Mormons?

You folks are pathetic. Cozying up with Frank Rich to attack an honest and decent man you cannot find substantive fault with in his personal, family, or professional life.

According to the newest Corporate Equality Index of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, The New York Times has the industry’s most gay-friendly newsroom. The New York Times Co. scored a perfect 100 in the survey. Cox Communications came in a close second, scoring 95 points. Gannett Co. earned 65 points, and Dow Jones earned a meager 30. The ratings are based on criteria including diversity training ad domestic-partner benefits.

"Latter-Day Republicans vs. the Church of Oprah"

That sums up the kinds of choices offered by our econo-political leadership. They are looking forward to a big no-vote with a nonpolitical attitude!

Pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on “Faith in America,” Mr. O’Donnell branded the speech “the worst” of his lifetime. Then he went on a rampage about Mr. Romney’s Mormon religion, shouting (among other things) that until 1978 it was “an officially racist faith.”

John Gibson played a number of O'Donnell clips on his radio show last week. Suffice it to say that O'Donnell was unprofessionally frothing at the mouth.

The answer is simple. Mr. Romney didn’t fight his church’s institutionalized apartheid, whatever his private misgivings, because that’s his character.

Wrong. He didn't publicly criticize his Church's official position because to do so would have meant that he would lose his Temple Recommend and would no longer be considered "worthy" to enter the temple.

Either that or he agreed with the Church's official position.

Harry Reid is a Mormon. I wonder when Frank Rich is going to go after him for not being a leader?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1978 wasn’t racist - the United States of America was racist. This church was the first major non-all-black-denomination church to have blacks in positions of authority in the church. The church made this radical move to let Blacks have positions of authority in opposition to many commonly held racial beliefs in America at that time. Why is there a finger being pointed at the church for this instead of praise? If this church hadn’t set the standard, would the other churches have followed suit so quickly?

This had nothing to do with a perceived racial church but instead has to do with the sad dark racism heritage of America.

And why is Mitt Romney being attacked for believing in a church a few don’t understand? This isn’t a Mormon political race. Are Mitt Romney contenders so desperate to find something to pin on this pristine candidate that they’re sinking to this new low?

If I have disagreements with a religion, should I petition against having members of that religion hold a public office? Should I pick up picket signs and march against those religions? I prefer more constructive approaches.

Mitt Romney is the best candidate I’ve seen in years and I’m excited about this race. As candidates have risen and fallen in the polls, Mitt’s numbers have stayed strong.
