I was going to post in before the trashing of mitt/mormon hater in general - but I see I am late.

Ah, the old canard of being a hater of Mormons if you dislike Mitt because of his myriad of left-wing positions on the issues over the years and his changing his posistions whenever his political career deems it is necessary.

Just another slimy, disengenuous, and decietful statement by a small minority of Mormon posters who reside at FreeRepublic.

Hardly - I’m no fan of his politics, I AM offended when the trashing of mitt always seem to come with some slam at his religion.

I tend to look at what a person does, not their words. I get flamed all the rime for pointing out all the non-stuff sara palin has (not) done, for example.

So, if you don’t mind, keep your ducks to yourself.

Was the article about Mitt or the Mormon Church? Seems the anti-Mitt crowd saw fit to jump in real fast on this one.

I couldn't vote for Romney in the Republican primaries because of "RomneyCare". Unfortunately, now we get something worse - ObamaCare. ObamaCare Jokes Obama Jokes

That is not necessarily typical, but it is the type of post that you can find on threads regarding the Mormon faith here at FR. And it has nothing to do with Mitt Romney, it is a simple statement about the Mormon faith and conservatism.

Those of us who are not Mormon aren't likely to notice the Mormon bashing, because we don't take it personally. It is generally the case that people don't notice attacks on other groups, only attacks on their own groups.

Try replacing the word "Mormon" with "Catholic", or "Baptist", or whatever your religion is, and read through a typical thread like this, and see if your perception changes.

As a political matter, I don't think it wise to attack political allies over their religious beliefs. It's not like conservatives have so many allies that they can afford to throw most of them off the bus.
