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

31. Yes, many of them are bigots. That does not permit you to engage in hate speech.

Good heavens, think through the morality of what you're saying. Your argument comes down to this: "SOME Mormons are bigots against gays, therefor we are justified in spreading lies and engaging in hate speech against ALL of them as a group."

That's not morality--that's tribalism. The whole point of being liberal is that you profess liberty for all people and reject prejudices based on tribe, race, religion, & other factors. People should be judged on what they do & say, not on what they happen to be. This is thte essense of liberalism and of being an enlightened human being in general.

Hell, I'm certain Romney's among those who are bigoted against gays--that doesn't excuse you or me from engaging in hate speech about him. You won't defeat hatred with lies; you only feed it.
