Anti-Mormon Comment Trolls

Mitt Romney is a Mormon bishop.He is ordained as a bishop. Right now he is not responsible for any parish.

According to the Mormon cult, a bishop is responsible for a parish (in other words, he is more like the equivalent of a Christian priest), but remains a bishop forever, unless he is excommunicated or apostate. Therefore, Romney is now a bishop.

Incredibly, incredibly, not one single reporter/journalist in a nation of 300,000,000 people has thought to ask the Republican Party’s front runner in the presidential race if he is in fact still a Mormon bishop, and if he will be a bishop if he becomes president.

It buggers belief!

Organizationally, the Mormon equivalent to a Christian bishop (with a diocese) would be a Stake President. Romney was also a State President. That position is not an ordination.

Also incredibly, Romney does not include his two years as a missionary or his bishopric (including seven years of daily service) or his stake presidency in his resume or biographical details on any websites associated with him.

One thing that Mormons try to say is that he is “not really” a bishop because he wasn’t paid. Amazing sophistry. In fact, it’s irrelevant whether he was/is paid, since it’s his vocation. But if they want to make a point of that, obviously it’s something he’s dedicated to since he serves without pay.

What sort of a country is the US where a bishop can run for president, lead in one party’s race, be in the news every single day, and hardly a single citizen is even aware of it, and the MSM and the “conservative” windbag punditocracy have not the slightest interest!?

What is wrong with you people?

It is just plain old bigotry, not political argument. I recognize you can legitmately say Mitt might have a harder time as a Mormon than say as a mainstream Protestant. Fair enough. I think even Mitt would admit that. While the LDS Church is wide spread it is definitely a minority religion. Wider voter identification helps.But when you start mocking Mitt Romney’s faith, it is objectionable and hurtful. It is unjustified and just not right. It really does not make a helpful argument, it just alienates.

There is bigotry against the LDS Church, which is no different than open bigotry practiced against Catholics and Jews not too long ago. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.

Joe,You are offensive, and a fool.

You are offensive to tell people what to say and what not to say.

You are no better than the offensive fools here who mock you for posting so many comments on Romney’s record.

You are a fool because you spend ages trying to convince eople that Bishop Romney is untrustworthy, when one of the most obvious proofs of that is in his dissembling about religious matters (“Who me? Oh I doon’t know much abut all that confusing dogma….”) If a Catholic Bishop or a Rabbi spoke like that they’d be laughed off the political stage.

I guess you are a useful idiot for Romney’s campaign. Congratulations!

I repeat, what sort of a country is the US where a bishop can run for president, lead in one party’s race, be in the news every single day, and hardly a single citizen is even aware of it, and the MSM and the “conservative” windbag punditocracy have not the slightest interest!?

TR-RACERYou are a moron and a bigot

Re: http://brianakira.wordpress.com/

– Thanks

Re: “ee claims to be Catholic and spends lots of time on Canadian issues (seems like he might actually be Canadian”

– You’re a moron. There are millions of Americans outside the USA

“He also admits to being evited from a meeting at the University of Manitoba due to his threatening behavior in a post on his site from 4 days ago.”

– You really are an idiot. That was a so-called Human Rights group that was offended that somebody wanted to defend Ezra Levant’s freedom of speech. They were too busy supporting al-Qaeda and arguing about Starbucks. I take it then that you also support al-Qaeda and get apoplectic over Starbucks?

“Brian, if your Canadian why are you commenting/bothering us on a US election?”

– Asked and answered. Besides, if I were, so what? I know for a fact that you are Bulgarian. And a worm.

I went to a meeting of the “University of Manitoba’s Rights and Democracy Network” to see if anyone might be interested in “raising awareness” (as they like to say) of Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn’s cases.They were already busy trying to sell indigenous people’s jewelry, and fair trade tea, and informed me they didn’t get involved in “partisan issues” or “politics” or “controversial cases.”

I quoted their manifesto, which contradicted everything they had just told me.

The president said she felt she was being attacked and judged, and that she felt threatened, and that I had hurt her feelings.

Then they evicted me.

You can figure out how things went by reading between the lines in the email I sent their president:

Re: “He also admits to being evited from a meeting at the University of Manitoba due to his threatening behavior”Wrong, you illiterate ignoramus.

I said, “I quoted their manifesto, which contradicted everything they had just told me. The president said she felt she was being attacked and judged, and that she FELT threatened, and that I had hurt her feelings.”

Learn to read, you idiot.

“BK the Canuck from Winnipeg — Pray tell BK what did I say that was bigoted?”– You’re a bigot (and a dummy) for assuming that a person must be a citizen of the country wherein they reside and for assuming that anyone living outside the US must be a foreigner.

“Did I defend al-Qaeda or Starbucks? Nope, I didn’t even mention them. I merely repeated what you said. You were threatening in action and deed”

– Wrong again. You implied that I threatened somebody, when I stated clearly that some silly pinko enemy of free speech who claimed to represent a “human rights” group “felt” threatened that I would dare quote their very own manifesto to point out how hypocritical they are to campaign against starbucks and defend al-Qaeda while condemning a Canadian publisher who is being persecuted for offending a Saudi Wahabbi bigot.

And you mean “Norman”, BTW.

IdiotShe “felt” judged and threatened because I quoted their manifesto.

You are a real ignoramus.

And I guess it makes you feel good to think that someone you’re distantly related to lives in a castle. However Redwood is dull dull dull.

I’d rather go to Carrickfergus anyday.

And Redwood has only been occupied since 1972

Hardly the oldest occupied castle in Ireland.

You’re too funny to get upset with.

“Your” castle was a ruin from 1650-1972; just a broken exterior wall.

Kind of like you.
