Can you clarify your concern? Are you suggesting that CNN is violating someone’s first ammendment rights to freedom of religion by posting an interview with a book’s author?

This person seems to be saying that anyone who is a mormon should not have the right to practice their religious beliefs and serve their country at the same time. I personally know people who said the same thing about JFKennedy, that he should never be allowed to run for president because he was catholic. That seems to be anti-constitutional to me. CNN is happy to air views that bash any religious group that won’t lop their heads off and if it makes Christians look hateful and intolerant, well that just tickles them silly.
This author is entitled to her opinion and has the same constitutional right to freedom of expression as everyone else. And, no I don’t consider freedom of religion to trump freedom of speech, but as I said declaring that someone should not be allowed to run for president or serve as president because of their religious views is pretty messed up.
I don’t much like Romney, but that is a political thing. Democrats and Progressives annoy me.
