We’ve finally found Madalyn Murray O’Hair!

Ap does smear, many posts have him smearing people and their beliefs…believe me, I will never submit another ani-iPhone post, he’s ruthless.

Nobody likes the Associated Press r2b.

Allahpundit occaisionally does some lighthearted trolling on his own topics, but aside from posting Christian v. Athest flamebait, err, “theological discussion topics” on a fairly regular basis there’s nothing that isn’t cool about AP (the blogger, not the Al-jazeera in America.)

Bingo.

Beyond our wildest dreams, next to Rockefeller he will be by several factors the wealthiest American to set foot in the Whitehouse if he gets elected

SO WHAT??? Let me tell you something Eric. If Harvard decided to make a one time exception to its grad school admission requirements and lowered them to the bare bottom so that poor, underprivileged you could get in, AND if they gave you a full scholarship plus room and board, you wouldn’t make it through the first week- even if you had a full time tutor (also paid for by Harvard) helping you out.

Just some of the Current Romneys

SO WHAT? Are they qualified for their positions, or are they ignorant boors and dumb as a rock like you?

Indeed, do we even know that they are all related, or do you just assume that anyone with the last name of “Romney” are family members who get special help from the Mormons?

And you try to smear me like this again and I’ll haul your ass out of here. Got it?

Heh. Did you smirk and take a sip from your cup of coffee when you typed that?

Just kidding!

Here’s the link. More interesting info there.

Which interest group would want to know voters’ reactions to Mitt’s Mormonism for non-political reasons?

Quakers for a cleaner moon?

I’d love to see how that Muslim number has changed in the last 8 years.

Hard to believe the “Gay” number, though. Seems way too low. But maybe I’m just projecting. Y’think?

With the Mormon number, the obvious question is how many of those are Dems, how many Repubs?

On the contrary, I’ve defended him in various comment threads for the simple reason that my non-faith is even more despised by the public than his faith is.

Didn’t think that was true, but…

A 1999 Gallup poll conducted to determine Americans’ willingness to tolerate a Jewish president (Joseph Lieberman was the Democratic candidate for Vice President at the time). Here are the percentages of people saying they would refuse to vote for “a generally well-qualified person for president” on the basis of some characteristic; in parenthesis are the figures for earlier years:

Catholic: 4% (1937: 30%)
Black: 5% (1958: 63%, 1987: 21%)
Jewish: 6% (1937: 47%)
Baptist: 6%
Woman: 8%
Mormon: 17%
Muslim: 38%
Gay: 37% (1978: 74%)
Atheist: 48%

wait – now they say they are still confirming

no he just answered an ad in the paper :)

and Hillary just invested 1,000…………….

don’t mention he was rich……….

As for NRO’s article . . . Gawd, what bilgewater. This is politics, so nothing is impossible, but this article is all circumstantial evidence aimed toward the conclusion mentioned in the title of the article. They reluctantly admit (late in the article) that all this stuff may mean nothing, “but . . .”.

In contrast to Allah, NRO has made up their mind about Romney, and are trying to smear him.

Nice obfuscation. The only people I’ve seen hurl the bigot epithet are tommylotto and csdeven.

I don’t think Mitt did this. McCain, either. I COULD see Rudy, but not likely (this is political poison to any Republican campaign that did this). Possibly Paul? My guess is either some unknown preacher that cannot stand the idea of a Mormon getting any votes, or some Dem campaign.

Allah- welcome to the club. Question the Romney campaign, get personaly attacked.

One other thought- I think the word ‘bigot’ is gettin’ WAY overused in our culture these days. It seems like the ‘thought police’ are right there to jump on anyone who doesn’t agree with ANY GROUP for ANY REASON. That’s Un-American.

This is the first I’ve seen of highhopes, and Fraud!heads have zero room to talk because questioning the might of Fraud! Thompson is an invitation to have all sorts of insults and innuendo thrown at you.

I can’t remember how many times people have thrown crap at tommylotto for being a lawyer because he happens not to buy Fraud!’s shtick. tommylotto doesn’t even have Romney as his first choice, he prefers Rudy, IIRC.

Moreover, most attacks on Romney are unfounded nonsense, such as r2b and EricPWJohnson’s endless tirades about how Romney got everything handed to him because his parents are super-wealthy.
