Yet, you can't see the distinction between anti-Mormonism and anti-Mormon. Doesn't speak highly of your reasoning abilities.
I carry the same distinction with Muslims and Islam. I hate Islam as a system of evil. I don't hate the individual Muslims (except certain violent extremists) who are the victims of the evil system. I'd be curious to hear how the Mormons would differ on this view of Muslims and Islam.
Sadly they are well aware of the difference, but to acknowledge such would be a sin against the tremendous investment and effort of the PR Department in SLC...
That is in effect what you saw with the Mitt support here, ignore/overlook his record and when challenged with fact immediately scream Bigot and whip out the victim card.
SOP...
