Cher is refusing to back down from a Twitter comment she posted on Friday that is considered a slur against members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The pop singer and passionate Democrat sent out the tweet urging President Barack Obama and his aides to get organized or risk losing November's election to Republican Romney, who is a Mormon.
Cher's tweet said: "I Feel if he (Obama) doesn't get all his DUCKS IN A ROW we'll b forced 2 listen 2Uncaring Richy Rich! The whitest man in MAGIC UNDERWEAR in the WH (White House)."
Some news agencies reported that LDS leaders were upset over the reference to the garment won by faithful adult members of the church to remind them of sacred temple ordinances.
ABC 4 called a representative for the Church who said no LDS leaders ever issued a response to the tweet, nor would they be expected to.
Several people claiming to be Mormons were upset with Cher for making the remark, and responded directly to Cher via Twitter. One person called her an "anti-Mormon bigot."

Referring to the garment as "magic" is considered a derogatory slur by many faithful members of the church.
Cher is not the first prominent figure to catch heat over a tweet about the garments.
In February during a GOP primary debate, New York Times columnist Charles Blow tweeted: "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."
Blow later apologized, saying, "Btw, the comment I made about Mormonism during Wed.'s debate was inappropriate, and I regret it. I'm willing to admit that with no caveats."
A Buzzfeed.com article described Mormon garments as "...a rough equivalent of Jews' yarmulkes or tzitzit."
Buzzfeed's article also noted:
"It's difficult to imagine a Times writer making a similar joke about a Jewish politician."

Hollywood says Mitts a liar.
“So what?
There are a few (only a handful, thank God) of Freepers here (more than likely, bitter, “Paul Bots”) who ALMOST DAILY (due to their IRRATIONAL hatred of Mormons, though NOT ONE can verbalize their reasons therefore, other than some massacre which happened 155 years ago) demonize, insult, disrespect and otherwise, attack Mormonism.”
With my use of the information here on FR, the Mormon was reduced to ranting and raving (in text form) saying, since I did not have a Theology degree, that I have no background for interpreting Joseph Smith’s and Brigham Young’s claims of Mormons living on the sun and the moon, and other various retard/fraudulent claims that Mormonism makes.
Mormonism is an anti-Christian cult which damns those who follow it and sucks them into a culture and an environment that suppresses freedom of thought, and encourages ignorance and deception on the part of its members.
These are good reasons to hate MormonISM for a Christian, whose chief concern is the Truth (Jesus being THE Truth) and the refutation of Demonic lies. Of course, maybe you aren’t actually a Christian.
What - who - when - where - sometimes why. Dementia or passe newsroom rules.
Creepy hag.
“Hollywood says Mitts a liar.”
You share Hollywood’s philopshy more than twice day.
Which GOP Nominee have you ever supported?
” though NOT ONE can verbalize their reasons therefore”
I have a clear reason to tell the truth about Mormonism - it leads people to hell. I don’t want them to go there.
Her resurgence in fame came in the 1980s and again in the 1990s when she used a digital device that became standard practice in the pop-gay-dance-disco world.
She'd be another 60s one-name hasbeen along with Melanie if it wasn't for Oscar films like Moonstruck and Mask in the 1980s. Do EITHER of those Oscar winners make top 100 films lists?
Snore. Has been. Skank.
Hey, if YOU had been married to Cher and fathered “Chaz”, running into a tree at high speed might have been thought of as a good way out of the nightmare. . .
high school graduates... is there anything they don't know???
Obama’s faith is an anti-Christian DEATH cult. Oh sure he joined ex-muslim Jeremiah Wright’s church of Goddamn Amerikka. If you somehow see THAT as Christian.
Two evils. Pick one.

eye roll
Wh-..Wha-...Who said that?

That doesn’t make any logical sense.
Good one Mols.
I say that Cheesey Cher is the most hateful bitch in Botox and a bustier.
And her fake "son" is the ugliest fat prevert tranny in designer jeans.
