Mitt Romney: Obama Campaign Promises As Good As Kardashian Wedding Vows

[Bucky]

27. The LDS that Romney's a part of rejects polygamy and any Mormons who practice it.

Let's stick to the realm of facts and avoid error-based sweeping generalization. The tiny denomination calling itself "Fundamentalist Mormons" do practice polygamy. They are not part of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. These are two religions who are radically divided on the very same issue that you and Warren S. are attacking them on.

It's identical to accusing any regular mainstream Muslim, like Muhammed Ali or Fareed Zakaria, of being a Wahabist because there are Muslims. The two religions (fundy Mormons and the LDS) may have roots in the same scripture, but they are anything BUT the same group.

The LDS will excommunicate anyone who practices polygamy. So for all your TV watching, you apparently missed the main point--the family shown on Sister Wives are not LDSers. You are happily joining Warren in religious bigotry. With all the stupid shit Romney believes in and openly professes, I don't know why you have to go and attack him on an entirely fabricated issue.

And for your final point--yes it most certainly IS bigoted "to point out that some Mormon men still keep multiple wives" because you're deliberately conflating two different denominations for the purpose of smearing the LDSers with the illegal behaviors of the Fundamentalist Mormons.

And yet if anyone said that same "they all seem the same to me" approach when it came to Hispanics or Jews or Blacks, what would you're response be? You'd rightly call that race or religious-based hatred. It's hate speech. Calling out Mormons for polygamy--when it's Mormon DAs in Utah and Idaho who vigorously pursue polygamists--is also hate speech.

If you can't stop keeping stuck in these prejudices, please at least have the honesty to quit calling yourself a liberal. Liberals judge people by the content of their character, not based on who their grandparents used to be.
