Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt: Holy Bigots Batman! Al Sharpton Knocks Mormons?!

Yesterday Al Sharpton said: “As for the one Jew running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyway, so don’t worry, that’s a temporary situation.”

Are you kidding me! Oh, wait... I got that quote wrong.... here's the actual quote:

“As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyway, so don’t worry, that’s a temporary situation.”

Does that sound any better? As Hugh Hewitt points out... if Al said:

If Al had declared that a Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim or candidate would be defeated by those "who really believe in God," how great would the outcry be?

I'm speechless?!

For all his banter and vile against Imus (some of it justified) -- how does he justify these comments? Any ideas on how to counter this? I'll have more later.

	12 Comments: No no please do not dignify this malicious nutcase by putting his picture on your website! He causes me complete revulsion because of his total, Godless, lack of morality. I don't want to hear another word about this poser. By Anonymous, at May 8, 2007 at 9:29 AM Truthfully in my humble opinion this man doesn't deserve the light of day in terms of press. I think he's a non-issue, most of America knows his true colors. As for Imus, I hope he goes on Sirius or XM radio and makes a killing. htt By Anonymous, at May 8, 2007 at 9:50 AM Where is my megaphone? I DEMAND he apologize for his offensive and bigoted remarks. Who do I shake down for ten million dollars for this insult? By Anonymous, at May 8, 2007 at 10:18 AM We should approach this as honorable Latter Day Saints. I suggest we flood his show with calls. I just called and the producer I spoke to insists that it's not a topic they are discussing right now. He told me to call back on Friday. I think if we all start calling we will get some play. If I have the opportunity to speak to Rev Sharpton, I will address this issue calmly and ask him to apologize to the millions of LDS people he discriminated against by making this remark. 1-877-532-5797 Heather By moms4mitt, at May 8, 2007 at 12:42 PM Of course, he should resign or be fired for from any positions in any organizations he has. By Anonymous, at May 8, 2007 at 7:28 PM He has a show?!? By Anonymous, at May 8, 2007 at 8:10 PM I still believe that he isn't worth even talking about. The more we talk about it and try and "go after him" the more legitimate he's going to sound. I say just let it go! By Anonymous, at May 8, 2007 at 8:25 PM Anyone know where we can send a letter/email/fax to Sharpton? I see that Heather posted the phone number for his show but I would like to send a letter if possible. Why is it that this is the only place where I have seen this piece of news?(No need to answer...) By The Fear Fam, at May 8, 2007 at 9:33 PM I found an email on his website info@sharptontalk.net . I am sure that would get to him if you sent it there. Worth a shot, anyway! By Anonymous, at May 9, 2007 at 9:28 PM My first thoughts are anger and annoyance; but, my LDS upbringing has taught me better. The very UN-reverend Sharpton is nothing more than a bigot who will do or say anything to get attention and we all know that includes blantant falsehoods. He's not worthy of any additional effort on behalf of the public. Let Mr. Romney handle him. His words will be sufficient...at least for me. By Anonymous, at May 9, 2007 at 9:40 PM What about the laughs you hear after his comment about Mormons not believing in God?! Really...what is so funny? By Holly, at May 9, 2007 at 10:03 PM It's all over the news--the Washington Post, the Guardian, the LA Times.
