In an apparent fit of rage against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, liberal New York Times columnist Charles Blow took to Twitter to tell him to "stick that in your magic underwear" for supporting the idea that society ought to concern itself with the large numbers of children born outside of wedlock.
That sentiment apparently set off Blow who tweeted the following at 8:56pm ET on the 22nd: "Let me just tell you this Mitt 'Muddle Mouth': I'm a single parent and my kids are *amazing*! Stick that in your magic underwear."
Judging from a tweet Blow sent earlier in the evening, it seems as if he believed Romney (who was actually echoing remarks made previously by fellow candidate Rick Santorum) was trying to condemn single parents who are racial minorities. That wasn't what Romney was saying at all, of course. Instead, he was saying that when speaking of the life arrangements of children, it is undeniable that those who come from married parent households fare much better than those who come from single parent households and perhaps in light of this fact, society ought to reconsider ways in which it has unwittingly worsened the circumstances of children of single parents.

What kind of underwear do Christians wear?
What is special about Mormon underwear?
Have you checked them all ? You may be a bit surprised.
Aww, what’s the matter mags? Is your search function on FR broke?
Why not come on to one of the many threads where the folks you’re slandering are posting?
Grow a pair and come out to play mags.
Like I know what a scapular is, LOL.
Wearing a scapular, unlike wearing special Mormon underwear, does not get one into heaven.
Mine says Friday.
You attack Mormons precisely because you don’t know what a scapular is.
FUNEEEE!!! I, for one, needed the laugh! Thanks.
“hard to say anything when you are stoned or beheaded for premarital sex”
What’s the difference between a hippie chick and a muslim chick?
Hippie chicks get stoned before they have sex
Good point. I was running a bit slow this morning.
Of course they do; weak people are easier to rule.
I said: Christians don't wear special underwear.
That doesn't sound like an attack to me.
Yawn. I still post occasionally on the black helicopter, tinfoil hat, there comes a White Horse!, Illumati-fearing, Romney’s gonna make us all wear Magic Underpants anti-Mormon threads, but they’ve actually become a bit of bore. Too much cut-n-paste propaganda and same smug, self-righteous twerps.
Hey, didja hear that Rubio is a secret Mormon as well? Pretty exciting stuff, isn’t it Charles?
Naw, it’s more like you lack the courage to engage those you take childish little snipes at.
You also sit on the sidelines and mock like a peurile, petulant and dysfunctional eunuch.
You got nothing but your little Alinsky handbook to go by.
He’d be proud of you.
Ok. I get it now. Thanks for clarifying.
MESSAGE TO THE NEW YORK TIMES: KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY UNDERWEAR!
Signed,
A MORMON!
Seriously, imagine if the insult was “Stick that in your Yamaka!” or “Shove that in your turbin”.
In all reality, I don’s understand the perverted obsession with underwear. I mean, really?
Correct. “Christians” don’t wear their faith privately, they wear it outwardly in the form of a cross, or a collar etc. The Mormon garments are nothing different. They are simply kept private.
I consider my fellow Christians to have every right to wear such things without ridicule or disdain, just as my fellow Mormon Mitt has the right to wear his garments without ridicule or disdain. I stand with all religious organizations outraged, for example, by the Obama administration rules on contraception provisions by religious groups, and I fully expect other religious groups to stand up for Mormons in this case!

PowderMonkey,
Do you agree with the insulting comment by the NY Times? I don’t care what you consider sacred or irrelevant, you will not see me condone nor mock what is valued by you.
Unless you want to be next on the hitlist of the NY Times, you should STAND UP AND BE INSULTED that they would insult any religious person because of what they hold sacred or as a representation of what is sacred.
Or, are you anti-Mormon? Are you a despicable, depraved, ignorant, intollerant, disrespecful bigot? If not, stop dishing on the Mormon undies and acting like your version of “different” is normal, and condemn the hideous nature of the entire issue.
WHAT IS WITH THE OBSESSION WITH MY UNDERWEAR?
Christians don’t wear secret underwear - true statement.
Mormons wear them because they can’t get inside the Temple without them - not a Christian belief.
Are you talking to me or PowderMonkey?
