Today, a Ron Paul supporter confronted known dog abuser Willard Mitt Romney with a question that, basically, paraphrased, said “Do you agree with your religion’s insanely racist beliefs.”

Romney said he wasn’t about to get into a discussion about his religion and then, when the man rephrased the question without the reference to the Mormon religion and just said “Do you think it’s a sin for inter-racial couples to have children?” That actually gave Romney his easy out, he just said “No” and moved on to the next question, despite the fact that Mormon writings are full of stuff about Africans being cursed with a skin of blackness – it’s why blacks weren’t allowed to be priests in the Mormon religion until some time in the late 1970s. Mitt was already an adult by then, had done his Mormon missionary bit in France, walking around with a white shirt and a name tag that said “Elder Romney” and harassing poor wine loving, Gaulois smoking, chain fucking French sinners about the joys of a virtuous life (without a great deal of success, I should imagine).
But, aside from a little bit of light mockery here and there for an obviously absurd belief system (Jesus rose from the dead and came to America?? Really, now… how and why?), I think we should give Willard a break on his religion, for two reasons.
One, it won’t do us a bit of good. The only people who fear a Mormon president, the crazy evangelicals, are already all over it. Nobody else is interested in an attack on somebody’s religion – no matter how wacky. It may be a minority religion, but it has millions of adherents, which means pretty much everybody in America knows somebody who is a Mormon – their neighbor, their brother-in-law, their colleague. And, most people get along fine with them, as long as nobody’s talking religion. Very few people really get bothered that somebody else doesn’t drink, or smoke, or drink coffee, or have sex outside of marriage. None of our business.
The other reason is that we’ve got so much real stuff to throw at Romney that religious attacks are completely unnecessary. The dog on the roof, the erasing of the hard drives, his contempt for the poor, his love of firing people and his belief in corporations, his Cayman Islands bank accounts, his Swiss bank accounts and his record at Bain Capitol, for starters.
