Chris Matthews shows clearly and loudly the hypocrisy of his radical ideology; the matter is very simple, if you do not tow the party line (like a good little communist) then you are either, to him, a threat, clueless or insane…and any of the last three need to be disposed of.

Glenn Please get rid of beckels straps

Chris Bigot Matthews is at it again and drunk to who would have seen that again. The left are nothing but a bunch of bigots. No one gives a damn what this wing nut thinks that is why msnbc sucks.

Thank you I was just going to say the same thing!

And persecutions besides…

Don’t be overly attached to Earth.  The battle is for souls, not who is the meanest, loudest name-caller.

It really galls me when the ultra-liberal left show their bigotry against people
and are never called to task for what they have done.  They have a double-
standard and are the biggest hypocrites ever.
I stopped watching MSNBC a long time ago and never watch shows like
Maher or their ilk.
I thank God for giving me a brain to know the difference in these brain-dead
people and the real American people who don’t hate.
God Bless All

 lol I would have to agree… suspenders just don’t work with Glenn…

If you tell lies often enough, especially through the media, people will believe them as if they were the truth. This is the only reason why the democrats are successful. How many millions of Americans are persuaded by the media? All those who voted Obama in 2008.

Chris is an idiot!!

Chris Matthews and his buddy in the Oval Office have a problem with the 1st Amendment’s call for freedom of religion.  The word “freedom,’ they believe, is to be enjoyed by Democrats, not Republicans.  The word “religion,” drives them nuts.  It means that a citizen’s belief in their religion holds a higher place than belief in the government or state.  This is intolerable to the man whose election would see the retreat of the seas and his MSNBC mouthpiece. 

The Bible of Mormans and Catholics and Christians says, “There shall be no gods before Me.”
Sorry, Obama.  Though you believe otherwise, you are dust and to dust you will return. 

People like Chris Matthews are inexcusable.  However, I will say that there is no way I will pull the lever for Romney–and it has zero to do with him being a Mormon.  It has everything to do with my opinion that the man is a complete fraud.  He has time and again demonstrated that he leads based on expediency, not truth or honesty.  He’ll choose what’s pragmatic over what’s right.  In other words, he has no firm principles.  I don’t care how many businesses you may show me he’s “rescued”.  He made horrible decisions as a governor and he can’t make up his mind what he stands for.  He is a fraud.  This nation is clearly NOT ready to turn over a new leaf if this is the kind of man they will vote for.  I’ll be leaving the slot for president blank this time around.  It sickens me, but I will not vote FOR someone just to vote AGAINST another.  The alcoholic known as “America” has not hit rock bottom, yet, apparently.

 Well I will support ABO.   This country will not have its principles changed overnight with Romney clearly.  But if Obama is re elected this country is done.  It may be done with Mitt but I know that I can have my conscience at ease knowing I help prevent Obama in another 4 years.

What is sad more than Chris brainless Matthews..  I was watching the 5 the other day and Beckels replacement was a woman who said something about big love on HBO is about the Mormons… and the other 4 said absolutely nothing about that not being true!  and the producers didn’t even correct it!!  So the stupid folks don’t all belong to PMSNBC, Fox has got some as well.  As for being Mormon myself I don’t remember my father or grandfather having more than one wife.  There are groups out there who call themselves fundamentalists Mormons but that is like entering a wild burro in the Kentucky derby and calling him Secretariat and expecting him to win.

Chris M.  just pukes out nonsense 100 miles an hour and believes himself hilarious.  what a total ass.  

 maybe he has lost so much weight he needs them to hold up his big boy pants

So, Chris Matthews is saying his own religion is a cult? His Catholic bishop needs to call him in for a private conversation.

Chris Matthews is a Catholic so him calling his own church a cult would make no sense. I think he may be referring to how a large portion of evangelicals see both the LDS and Catholic churches as cults so he’s speaking from that perspective and didn’t do a good job that he’s not giving his own view.

Matthews would be the first to express outrage if anyone called Obama’s religion a cult. Leftists in glass houses just can’t resist throwing stones, but they squeal the loudest when anyone throws stones back at them. 

C’mon, Glenn. You’re dressed for a Ben-and-Jerry’s ad.

Should we expect anything less than what Chris Matthews (can) deliver?  He’s a mindless jellyfish.  Remember when Michelle Bachmann turned his words on him about getting a ”tingly feeling up his leg” all he could do was call her a moron.  No one of great importance watches, let alone listens to, him.  All those Liberals just sit around, having pow wows, and patting each other’s back.  They have to get their strokes from somewhere because they aren’t getting it from their ratings.   

Meg  If Romney wins the nomination, and you don’t vote for him, you will be voting for Obama. I can tell you with honesty, you have Mitt classified wrong. He is not that bad of a person. He is honest, has integrity, good husband and father, and will do what’s right for our country. He can beat Obama, and I don’t believe either of the others can. Check out his record from a true source, and you will find it not bad as you are thinking. I am sorry you have that impression of him.

I dare Chris to say this about muslims and allah.  

 I am not sure how Romney cutting taxes 19 times and going from a huge state deficit to a surplus is a bad decision unless you are a liberal. Santorum voted to raise the federal deficit 5 times and he is called a fiscal conservative. I don’t understand that kind of thinking.

Will never happen.  Matthews, like his sugar daddy in the Oval Office, has a slobbering love affair with Muslims and Allah. 

This nation IS clearly ready to turn over a new leaf…….. and yes, ANYONE is better than what we have now !!

Euna Rugg- You are right. Our country is in such a mess, it will take a while for anyone to get us back on track. It did not get this way overnight, so if we can get Obama out, and get, I feel Romney in, it will be a huge step. Romney is not a fake,as some think. He does have what it will take, to get us on the up and up.

I think more telling is one of the last comments by the
“rev”. “A white denomination” I don’t know what religion he
is talking about but I belong to a Christian church. We don’t have white or
black or Hispanic denominations. Where do you even begin with comments like this?
I have to say though I believe Al’s true “colors” are peaking through”.

 Surprise!  A blank ballot is a vote for Obumma….and that doesn’t count all the dead people and double voters and military votes that won’t quite get counted.  Good grief.

leaving the president slot blank is just like voting for Obama….anybody is better than Obama even if it is Romney (not my choice either) but Obama lite is better than full strength

He, Glen, is trying to talk about real problems, so what is your beef with the way he dresses? Maybe you should listen to the Billy Joel song from the 70s or 80s saying, “what’s a matter with the clothes I’m wearin’, can’t ya’ tell that your tie’s too wide?” Don’t tell me you disagree with identifying a true bigot in Chris Matthews just because Glen is wearing suspenders?

So Robert, If it came down to Romney or Obama, you would vote “present”? How does that help America? Even if you consider it voting for the least of two evils, at least it puts someone in office who will follow the lead of conservatives in Congress rather than fight against them every step of the way. Can you not see the difference?

I’m curious, if Romney’s religion is really a zero factor in your decision, what specifically has Romney done to make you so utterly against him? Was it giving the people of Massachusetts the healthcare system they wanted? Do you prefer leaders, like Obama, who go against the will of the people to force their ideas on the people? That’s called tyranny whether it comes from the left or the right.

When Ronald Reagan was governor of CA, he raised taxes higher than any preceding governor and signed more pro-choice laws than any governor before him. But he turned out OK as president after he flip-flopped on those issues, didn’t he? 

 so he made horrible decisions as Governer of Massachusetts? so why did he win that state with 72 per cent of the vote March 6th ?

The sad thing is all that Glen is saying doesn’t seem to matter to 50% of the population. Most people have no idea about history or care. hey listen to celebrities or sports hereos. Well if this sports guy likes Obama I’ll vote for him, or he is wearing a certain jersey WOW  or some celebrity.  People are so involved in themselves and what the next 1 hit wonder is that day or what the women on the view says.  You can lie right to 50% of the population WHY because there not listening or do they care.  Obama got into office because 50% have no idea what he is or what he stands for.  He’s black, first black president must be a good guy.  Celebrities love him, MTV love him, look at all the sports guys love him. He must be the right guy.
  Wake up America fast.

Mathews once worked for a Mormon, Frank Moss, Dem. Senator from Utah. He should be ashamed to speak about Mormons in such a distasteful and false manner.

A family member of mine worked for the Miss America pageant two years ago when Mathews was a judge. I was told that he was the rudest and most arrogant person that they have ever had as a judge-nobody could stand him. Rush was the most liked, even by the liberals who liked him.

Thank you for electing Obama.

He’s a Catholic. Do you think he called his own church cultists (when he referred to Romney, Santorum, Gingrich) or is it more likely he was referring to how some evangelicals who consider LDS and Catholic to be cults are willing to overlook that and vote for them?

This is the most illogical, biased and bigoted analysis I have ever seen.

Chris Matthews is not worth even mentioning….he is a total crapper…..I guess he is still liking the tingling running up his legs with Obama….he needs to get out more and look elsewhere to get his rocks off.  He is a loud mouth who never allows anyone to talk, finish a statement….he is constantly interrupting them….he is just someone who is totally blind to anything other than what he believes and you simply cannot fix stupid….and this is what they guy is….an insulting, imbecilic moron who is just plain ole stupid.

Mormonism is a cult though. It’s false and so easily proven false, but Mormons ignore it…….Brigham Young’s great-great granddaughter was once a Mormon, but she’s able to explain, in very good and accurate detail, why the Mormon religion is false…….Joseph Smith is in hell.

RACIST

As an ex-mormon myself, I can absolutely say with experience in and out of the church that the LDS church is not a cult. There’s a difference between being wrong and being a cult.

This is a good article that found, “Why evangelicals must stand up to anti-mormon bigotry”. 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-faith/post/why-evangelicals-must-stand-up-to-anti-mormon-bigotry/2011/10/10/gIQA06PqZL_blog.html

I have not watched Matthews in months. His mind is one of a deviate and as an intelligent person I won”t  waste my time in listening to his drivel. One word comes to mind for Matthews
and I am thinking of a five letter word, IDIOT.

Where’s it proven?

The Mormon religion is so easily proven false, but Mormons ignore the facts…..the proof that it is.

Brigham Young’s great-great granddaughter is no longer a Mormon and she can easily prove why the Mormon religion is in no way Christian…….Joseph Smith is in hell.

Mormons and friends should boycott his sponsors.

 Thou shall have no other Gods but me. You will find that commandment in the Old Testament, long before the “new”

Where’s this proof you speak of?

In the thousands of changes to the Book of Mormon and the whole religion…..Also the The Pearl Of Great Price says different things than the Book of Mormon.

It is a false religion then…….It is, I assure you of that.

 I would take into consideration the opinion the overall 15 million member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) church than I would the opinion of one person.
“The word cult has many meanings, including a technical religious one.
The Mormon Church is not “standard” historic Christianity as Mormons
point out in their witness. They think they have something new and
valuable to say religiously.
Most of the public does not think
doctrine, but danger when they hear the term cult. He imagines scary
folk living in compounds drinking Kool-aid, not Harry Reid or Mitt
Romney.
In that popular sense, Mormonism is not a cult and should
scare no American. Mormons have been faithful citizens, dying in our
wars for republican values. Does Rick Perry’s pastor friend acknowledge
this truth? Can a Mormon die for the Republic in battle, but still not
serve as commander in the White House?” http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-faith/post/why-evangelicals-must-stand-up-to-anti-mormon-bigotry/2011/10/10/gIQA06PqZL_blog.html

Isn’t Harry Reid a Mormon?

I’m sure Chris Matthews would then say “yeah well, he’s one of the good ones”.

Almost every liberal I’ve met, is most the hateful, bigoted, intolerant person you’d ever want to meet.

The regular Mormon LDS is not the Warren Jeffs branch of the LDS. 

I’m basing my opinion on God’s Word……God said He is the only god and there is none like Him………..Mormons believe otherwise.

 You will find that commandment in the “Old Testament”, as you call the bible. It was there, as written by God, long before the many different Gospels.

“He also made a reference to the “three cultists” — who, for Matthews, are those running — two Catholics and a Mormon.”

Chris Matthews is Catholic. It appears to me that his context was referring to them as a sizable portion of evangelicals do, seeing the LDS and Catholic churches as both cults. So he’s saying that evangelicals who consider them cultists are willing to overlook it as long as Obama is defeated in the fall, and isn’t necessarily giving his view on the matter. A clarifying statement would be nice from him though if that’s what he was doing.

Well that’s not a hard bet to make, at least all but one, if not all religions are false to some extent.

In God’s Word.

Mormons don’t worship any other gods thus they aren’t violating the first commandment about not having any other gods before him.

I never said they worshiped other gods……I said they believe they can become gods and that there are other gods, but God said there is no other god but Him.

While it is important to get the most conservative GOP candidate possible through primaries, the general election will pose an entirely different question. I agree that Romney has shown a pragmatic side that is troubling since our goal is to turn the ship around and head back to sanity. But to call him a fraud is a extreme. I think he could at least turn the ship in the right direction.

We can feel very good about Romney as president. But, I believe any of the top 3 GOP candidates will make a great president, not just be better than Obama.

If you want to see an interesting story about Romney away from the spotlight check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNJZrJVDpbY
He was helping my brother’s friend after the San Diego fires 4 years ago.

It is not about his religon but his failed policy, his weaking of the military and placing our nation in large Debt to pay for those who choose to be lazy. Yet those who need help because they are married and with kids are told they can’t get help. Teaching low morals are rewarded is wrong.

Wait,  Obama himself said he was a Muslim and then he said he is a Christian.  

 I believe that Newt can defeat Obama and show us the strength of America.

JUST LIKE NIXON

 Hey! Chris-Islam is a cult religion!!!!

Obama’s not Muslim and Islam isn’t a cult.

The liberal/socialist/communist left wing dumbocrats  have always been religious bigots and these bozos just prove it  again ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It sounds like your part of the bigotry problem. Yes, they are Christian as they believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the World. Are you going to believe one persons thoughts or the thoughts of a 15 million strong church (guess we already know the answer to that)? Your attempting to make conclusions about a religion when your sources of knowledge are not authoritative.

Glenn,
There was a video posted on Utube where Obama was giving a speech and he said “My  Muslim Faith”. What about this video. Operative word is “my”.  I’m not questioning this I only go by his own words in this Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCAffMSWSzY&feature=related

I would imagine that none of those three morons ever saw the video where Obama admitted he was a Muslim.

They believe in a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible. They believe Jesus was not born of a virgin.

Am I going to believe one persons thoughts?…..Yes, because that person is God. They say they believe in Him, but they believe in a false god.

You mean the video where the context clearly suggests he’s saying “my (alleged) Muslim faith”? There are a lot of valid criticisms of Obama. Making up stupidity about him supposedly being Muslim isn’t one of them.

Mormons, like most other Christians, are just trying to be the best people they can be and contributing to society. These mean, evil people who spew junk like that, what is your contribution? Have YOU done any good in the world today?

Go Glenn!  I fail to understand how in this country Mormons are still being called a cult.  If they are cult then so are Evangalists, Catholics, Baptists, Jews, Budhist, etc.  Don’t slander something that you obviously know nothing about and are too yellow to learn about.  This guy is a real Bigot and Coward.

The only changes that have been made to the Book Of Mormon are grammatical which are the ones you are counting. The Pearl of Great Price is in harmony with the Book of Mormon as I have read both.

Are we not children of God? Do not parents want their children to become like them and inherit all that they have? 

“He also made a reference to the “three cultists” — who, for Matthews, are those running — two Catholics and a Mormon.”

Matthews himself is Catholic. He doesn’t think his own church is a cult, that’d just be silly. He’s talking about how some evangelicals see things where THEY are the ones who consider both churches to be cults. So he’s saying those evangelicals who consider them to be members of cults are overlooking religion since they consider beating Obama to be more important.

I think some of the advertising in the general ought to use these clips that say Catholics and Mormans are “cults”.  Does this man, Chris Matthews, have any sanity left?  He seems to have lost touch with reality; at least when he was working for Bill Clinton, that President kept him in the real world.  The Obama Presidency encourages fantasy and has Matthews believing that all you have to do is say it and the “people” will believe.  Duh!!  Isn’t that what “cult” religions do; Chris Matthews who is really grounded in cultism, you or the men running for the nomination in the Republican primaries?

………………………….

If these two aren’t the “gruesome twosome” I don’t know who would be. These two ae so disgusting that I cannot imagine anyone except some idiot “Sheeple” watching either of their
shows. Chris Matthews (He who gets a thrill up his leg when Obamaspeaks)  What????? is an out & out “bigot”.  Schultz is just an ignorant blowhard and just says asty things about anyone and anything. Why are they stillon the air?????

The Jesus they worship is the Jesus of the Bible. There is no other Jesus. Yes, they DO believe that Jesus was born of a virgin (Mary). I’m not sure where your getting your information from but it is incorrect. I would suggest getting it from their official site http://www.mormon.org or http://www.lds.org

Matthews is Catholic. Do you really think he’s saying his church is a cult? Or is it more likely he’s saying that certain evangelicals consider Mormons/Catholics to be cults?

I think it is wonderfull that the liberals/progressives/leftist/democrats/morons are starting to attack peoples religions, looks, sex, mustaches, etc., etc. etc., it  means they have run out of rational arguments and the world has finally caught on to their game. Desperation is the last bastion of failure.

 KEEP ON KEEPING!! THATS THE WAY TO GO GLEN!!!  TAKE IT TOO THEM. LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED. FIRE BACK ON ANYTHING & ALL THINGS, THEY SAY!! REMEMBER TILL YOU CAME ON, BY THE FIRE OF GOD IN YOUR HEART.

I bet ya Ed Schultz gives old Tingles a thrill up the sphincter!

The Latter-Day Saints (or Mormons) do not have their own Bible.  They use the King James version Bible along with the Book of Mormon together.  The Book of Mormon is also a testament of Jesus Christ and the records kept within the book were to try and help prove the Bible to be true and also to support the teachings of Jesus.  

Ther term is “Chistophobic”

Chris mathew s should change his name…It sounds too Biblical to fit a devil like him…Chris almost spells Christ and of course Matthew is in the Goispel..

It is so obvious that we are in a war with good and evil……And it is also easy to see who the evil ones are and a funny thing the evil ones are all with Obama…

Matthews apparently missed my memo on the same topic last week. 

I’m not a Romney voter – but if your reason for objecting to Romney is his religion – you’re a bigot.  Plain and simple.

Matthews is a bigot.  And that’s the nicest thing I’ve had to say about him in quite a while.

….

I am not shocked by Matthews, but I continue to be surprized by the continuing ignorance of the public toward members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints – the “Mormons”. It has the 4th largest membership of all churches in the U.S. and is hardly a cult. The center of the religion is belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior just as its name states and - the same as all Christian denominations. Mormons do not pray to, through, or worship anyone or anything other than Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ.
Mormons believe in being “born again” through baptism in water, just the same as Jesus Christ was baptized. In these ways, Mormons are exactly the same as any other Christian. In other doctrine, there may be differences, but so are there doctrinal differences between any and all other Christian denominations – including Catholicism.
One of the most highly regarded doctrines that Mormons revere is to allow all persons to worship however they choose, without reservation. Period. I believe that is similar to other Christian denominations. And if for some reason other denominations are not giving the same respect and tolerance of others, they need to re-read the Bible – the cornerstone of the Mormon religion just as it is of amy other Christian denominations.
If, after having read this, one still chooses to believe that a Mormon is not a Christian, just like any other Christian, then this a personal choice – Just like Chris Matthews. And who, I want to ask, wants to be like him??

About a month ago just for the heck of it I put on MSNBC (I would rather set my hair on fire and put it out with a hammer)- they said something so nasty and outrageous I just had to comment. Spent a ton of time filling in all of the required fields- wrote my comment- no profanity or nasty words- it kind of stalled for a moment (as if someone had read it?) and it wouldn’t accept it and told me I had to fill in all of the required fields (which I already had done). What it proved to me was that they didn’t give a darn about my or anyones opinion. I should have known that from the start. They are nothing but hating freaks. Also with nonexistant ratings.

hmmm…so if Chris points out that the loonies down south who think the President is Muslim probably also think Mormons are a cult is somehow attacking Mormons? Poor Glen Beck, all that drinking left him left with only the irrational, anti-reason cells left. pity pity given him some more millions so he can keep taking those cool JCPenny ad pix that are pasted all over this website of him who cannot reason…

Yep, there are those who, with the election Obama, saw the machine put in motion to absolutely, fundamentally change America.  They have a vested interest in the destruction of capitalism, so they’re turning up the heat—throwing anything they can get their hands on to stoke the fire of  distrust——–descention.  Take a deep breath, this is going to be a rought ride-ch.  Well, you know what I am trying to say.  Peace and calm@ 

nobody cares about the suspender!!! Chris Matthews should be reprimanded or better yet fired. of course liberal media gets a pass again.

“3 cultists” ??  mathews you racist loser prick,…  get a life. 

The American people will wake up to this absolute undeniable bias media and they will lose in the end. Not until the church of Jesus Christ  wakes up and humbles itself before the Lord and prays for foegiveness of a lost country and turns from their sinfull ways, not until then will God heal their land. The church has remained silent and has comprimised with the world that morality can not be legislated while the country has passed immorale legislation one after another. The church has allowed beginning in the 60′s that God be legislated out of America while remaining silent. The church has comprimised with the world comprimising its most fundemental and basic teachings of Christ. We can elect conservatives but until the repents God will not heal this terminally Ill country. To be a nation under God we must strive to be individuals under God. It is as simple as that. America decided God was no longer needed. Look around at how well that has worked out for America.

these christian haters will one be cast into a burning hell and they will be there forever,so i say to them,enjoy the heat there,you,ve earned your reward..

I am really sick and tired of these left wing people putting down everything our fore fathers faught to have freedom.  It shouldn’t matter what religion the candidate is as long as they don’t push it on America.  The issues should be how to defeat  the President.  I’m also engraged that people are standing by and letting the President DICTATE what we Americans can and can not do like choose our own health insurance, telling states that what they voted on doesn’t matter you have to do what the government says (President).  We need to start standing up as Americans and start taking our country back before it’s to late. 

maybe those polled who claim bho’s a muslim were democrats voting to skew the vote.  so these people are from the left and he’s complaining about his own party’s strategy.

CHRIS MATTHEWS,
I just listened to a video of you.  I believe that you are a bigot.  You were demeaning Mormons,  Catholics, and the voters of the South. You referred to all of them as “CULTS.”  Your intent, I believe, was to attack MITT ROMNEY and support Obama who is a MUSLIM.  I dislike Obama, not because he is a Muslim, but because his policies are destroying our nation.   Obama has committed many ACTS OF TREASON against the United States, and he will be charged and convicted for these Acts.  I believe he is a peon of George Soros, and their goal is to establish a New World Order, and they are collapsing the economy of the United States deliberately.  George Soros will also be convicted for his crimes.  Chris, stop attacking Mormons, who are outstanding people.  MITT ROMNEY can and WILL defeat Obama.  This is your reason for attacking Mormons.  Obama and Soros are shaking in their boots at the thought of  ROMNEY becoming the Republican Presidential Candidate.   There was a poll that disclosed that if the election were held yesterday, Romney would defeat Obama 48 to 41.
Delores Smith
Delores109@cox.net

i think if you get a thrill up your leg for your president and you constantly campaign for the man to the extent that you say untruths and make crazy comments while calling yourself a journalist — you’re a cult.

I’m not disagreeing with the whole of the thoughts here, but I am VERY disappointed about something:
The story above claims Chris called Mormons a cult, when IN FACT what he said is it “is a cult as THEY see it”. He was clearly referring to what he thinks the beliefs are of the “evangelical” VOTERS in the states they were talking about, not his own opinion.
This story lays out a false accusation of what Chris said, and we detest when they do that to us!
I absolutely do not appreciate most anything Chris has to say, and sure, he has proven himself to be biased on many ocassions, but will not stand for watching Glenn stoop to spewing such a false accusation. This calls for a retraction!
Watch the video for yourself…

Glenn, I can’t figure out why you are so against Mitt. You KNOW what he stands for as a person. You know how his faith will not dictate to him in the office of President, but you also know that his faith will also make him an honest, hard working, caring, compassionate, great leader, and a hundred other Christ like qualities as our President. When has this country ever needed a person with his qualifications as our leader?  You know he will be asking for help continuously from the Lord to quide  him. How can you ever want someone else to be the President in these dangerous times?  I just can’t understand you on this!! Please explain why you would no support him??????

MSNBC is still on the air for only one reason as I see it. They have the ultra-deep pockets of Bill Gates at their disposal. That, and they are a cable station, so the ZERO viewership doesn’t matter. Needless to say, this tells us a great deal about where Bill Gates is coming from politically. However, if there ever was a capitalist, couldn’t we safely say that Bill Gates IS that capitalist?!? MSNBC is probably the premier obama boot-licker on cable TV. Yet isn’t obama the most anti-capitalist “president” in recent memory? Doesn’t matter, right? Gates has purchased himself a “president” who has aspirations of being a dictator, and isn’t that almost exactly what Gates is when it comes to his near-monopoly regarding what operating system is pre-loaded on literally every new computer except those found in an Apple Store?!? So Gates/obama seems like a match made in Heaven as far as they’re concerned (Hades as far as I’m concerned). Both have totalitarian aspirations, but I am hopeful obama is nothing more than a has-been come January 2013. I confess that I am scared to death of what he will do between November 7 and January 20 if he discovers that he won’t be enjoying a 2nd term. That is a lot of time to play the presidential pardon game. I worry that he’ll will make Bill Clinton’s presidential pardon list look tiny by comparison.Chris Matthews — what can you say about the guy that hasn’t already been said?!? This most recent tirade of his against Romney only serves to further expose what the liberals have made no secret of from the beginning — the ONLY GOP candidate that they are afraid of is ROMNEY! WHY?!? Because they know that he is the ONLY GOP candidate who can beat obama! Otherwise, why would they spend all their time lambasting Romney, and courting Santorum?!? They want Santorum to run against obama because they know, and I know, that obama can defeat Santorum. Yet the GOP keeps shooting itself in the foot with their infighting and internal, infernal mudslinging. If the GOP isn’t savvy enough to recognize what the so-called democrats already know, than we deserve to lose! I have been a Romney supporting for ONE overriding reason……to make obama a ONE TERM “president”! Shouldn’t that be the wish of all conservatives?? We need to show that we are smart enough and like-minded enough that we can put our support behind ONE candidate NOW, rather than waiting until we are forced to do so, by which time our candidate will either be the wrong one, or the right one who has been marginalized and weakened by his own party and fellow candidates. If ever there was a time for all of the conservatives in this country to band together behind the one candidate that obama and his party fear above all others — IT IS NOW!! Romney is NOT my favorite candidate, but I have supported him because I can see the handwriting on the wall. I’m not extra smart or clever or anything! I’ve just been paying attention! And that means paying attention to the liberals just as much as the conservatives, if not more! The libs would give anything to keep obama from having to run against Romney. We must recognize that, and put aside personal preferences as I did long ago, and support the man who gives obama nightmares! Even though I think Romney would make a very good president, I’m of the school of thought that says ANYONE WOULD BE BETTER THAN obama! Romney keeps coming out on top no matter how I look at it. I pray that conservatives in all the various candidate camps will come to recognize the obvious before it is too late. We want the strongest Romney possible, and that means supporting him now and not waiting until you are forced to months down the road. ROMNEY 2012!

i spent 12 and a half years in a religious cult, and then did some studying about them in general.  morman’s and those called jehovah’s witnesses and catholic’s; (i think they are the biggest ‘cults’ in America) are easily proven to be cults by simply looking at their foundational statements.  They are both based on stuff made up by humans that are based on lies, and not based on the Bible.  (Many catholic’s claim their religion is ‘from the Bible’, but the vast majority of catholic teachings have nothing to do with the Bible at all.)  Galatians 1:8 and 9 is so plain and simple that i am dumb-founded when i see Believers who are not acquainted with it.  i do not think of myself as a ‘bigot’ at all. i do not find any animosity toward cult members within myself at all.  i do feel sorry for them, but i do not dislike them, not do i wish for bad things to happen to them.   Calling a “lie” a “lie”, as i am doing right now, is not ‘bigoted’, it is simple honesty.   i am deeply anti-obama, i hate abortion and liberal thinking in general; but when i see  the statement “The Truth lives here” i always wonder…  “How did they think that up?”

Why not spend the time calling the media guys? Call the Lame Stream Media outlets and networks while you are on the air and see what they have to say about it. That could be fun. 

Chris Matthews makes me ill. I’ve tried to watch him a few times but decided my health was worth more than being curious as to what in the world makes liberals tick. Besides, I’ve figured it out…EVIL is what makes liberals tick…Don’t even waste your time listening to them. It’s not worth it. Watching paint dry is more productive.

Here in Australia we have a socialist problem but at least as Australians they work to the advancement of the country as a whole. I can stand as an agnostic and not have to defend my view point nor do I attack those that practice a peaceful religion but in the U.S. your socialists seem to be the nastiest people short of the radical Muslims that I have ever seen. They lie, cheat, defame and go out of their way to try to destroy the U.S. or at least make the rest of the country look as if it was the most racist, warmongering haters on the planet. With respect, I’m glad to be an Aussie.  

Until all Christians no matter what church they attend can come together as one body against the evil that is killing our country today, we will never succeed against obummer and his demon minions.

 Have You ever looked at Galatians 1:8&9?  Ever read any of the ‘real’ historical stuff still on file about ‘joseph smith’?  “Real” Christianity, is ‘primitive’ Christianity; the way God’s Disciples started it back at the beginning of the Church era.  i do not try to claim everybody who does not think exactly like them is not ‘saved’, but we are all a very long ways from what we were when the Church got started.

So wait – Al Sharpton just taught us that there are “white denominations” and “black denominations?” Did I hear that right?

He is one of the most blatant racists EVER. Proof after proof after proof after …

Bigot, bigot, bigot—-thank God nobody listens to him.

Chris Matthews will one day in the next life look up from the bowels of HELL and realize
that the Crurch of Jesus Christ ( Mormons ) is the only true and living church on the face
of this earth that is true. Yes we do indeed have the fullnrss of the gospel of Jesus Christ
in our lives, and the book of Mormon is the most correct book on the earth. It was written
by prophets of Jesus Christ starting 600 years before Christ came to the earth. The Book
of Mormon is only another testament of Jesus Christ just like the Bible is, as long as it is
written correctly! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true and living
church on the face of this earth with ALL authority to act in God’s name!

Good job Glenn.  MSNBC with more egregious cluttered talk.  Just loved the smirk Rev. Sharpton had on his face (He tried to hide it) when Mathews started mocking Romney.  Bigotry at ist’ very best displayed…!

Obama’s religion is Marxism via Progressivism. Islam’s stated goal is to rule the world. They belive that is the only way there can be “justice” in the world. The Progressives think they can help Islam dominate all others and when the religious wars are over take out Islam so the only institution left to worship is the state.

Once you understand the Progressives agenda everything Obama does falls right into place and even becomes predictable.

The above link shows FDR’s Progressive plan. If you look at the history of the named characters you will find the same type of people throughout Obama’s administration. FDR did not have several generations of voters indoctrinated by the Department of Education but Obama does. He may well pull it off.

Go back to media matters where you belong. Everyone here knows what youre trying to do

Where is Santorum’s response…. crickets… and YOU support him???

 YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

I think it’s time Matthews, Schultz and their kind get upside their heads the way they come after everyone on the right. MSNBC is a cult, big time. It’s just more of the same ol’ same. When will Holder or anyone else on the left demand that the FBI stop their surveillance of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, and the Catholic Church? I wont hold my breath. I don’t look good in that shade of blue.

Mr. Beck on behalf of all Catholics I thank you for standing up to defend my Faith from the attacks and insults from the left. You sir are truly exemplary of your Faith. 

Peace and Many Blessings.

Leftists= soulless liars.

Mathews made some rather nasty remarks about Netanyahu about a week or so ago, saying [to Netanyahu] “don’t interfere in our elections.”  He said it twice, and it was with a very, very nasty tone.

There’s no evidence that Netanyahu was here involving himself in internal American politics. I think he would be stupid to do that.

Of course, American administrations, including Obama’s, have allegedly involved themselves in internal Israel politics, such as trying to favor Kadima over Likud.

I am an Atheist/Free Thinker and view people based on their character, personal standards, and goodness (not on their dogma- unless they are Islamic or outright insane evil-doers).  I respect and love many Christians, and other beliefs.  I have a real issue with this Liberalism in America, it is destroying any fabric of both emotional and intellectual honesty.  Facts doesn’t mesh well with Liberals, it is an obvious backdoor infiltration of anti-American ideology that is being promoted by these brainwashed people.  They make no sense because they haven’t learned to have an original thought without a lingering agenda behind it.  I am proud of people standing up for what they believe and calling lies as lies.  While I am on this subject..Atheism is not “anti-God” it is a statement of “no-God”.  Many things religions teach, especially about Love and Compassion and Truthfulness are things I think any person with a ounce of moral and social fiber would wholeheartedly agree with.  Isn’t it about time Americans should join hands and all agree to stop this internal bickering and dedicate ourselves to restoring this Nation back to the special place of Freedom, Justice, and Integrity?  Our children will judge us all for what we do, and for what we don’t do.  If you have a Higher Power then you shall be judged in that manner too, perhaps.  AlI I know is that if we don’t change for the better the worst is most assuredly going to happen, leaving many smiles on Liberals that wish to ruin this Nation and turn it into a Globalist Culture with pandering towards insane and inhumane doctrines.

I take it that Chris did NOT get a thrill up his leg when he was talking about Mitt!

I really do not think he was saying that evangelicals consider Mormons/Catholics to be cults. I really do think he has let himself be compromised in his ethics and journalistic values. At one time, I admired Chris Matthews. I have watched him gradually deteriorate in his reporting. I think he got on a slippery slope and submerged his internal rightness and wrongness so that he does not know what he really believes now. If one were able to play his clips from his first years as a commentator until now, I think you would be surprised at the downward spiral. I feel this because, each time he said something outrageous, I noted it because I did admire him. It was shocking to actually see. I just pity him now. The reason I think they should play the clips is to help defeat Obama. Just to make it clear, I am not obsesses with trying to defeat Obama because he is Democratic (as the left keeps trying to play that phrase, “defeat Obama”). I want to defeat Obama because I truly believe that he is destroying our country. I have never felt that about a President, even if I didn’t vote for him or belonged to the opposite party. This election is so serious that all Americans should ask themselves if they can really RISK OUR COUNTRY’S FUTURE just to re-elect him on some preverted idea of political correctness. This time in world history is a nexus point, which means the decision can change major movements in the world’s directionl.

 We Mormon’s use the King James Bible when English is the language of the readers. In Germany, we use German Bibles, mostly those translated by Martin Luther. Some have a wide collection of different Bible translations as well as Concordances and Commentaries. The Bible is cherished as a sacred text in all LDS homes that I am aware of.

I warned you all to don’t blink he pass’es a new law when you do in secret again here’s a new on from last thursday….making freedom of speech a felony, tea party should watch this too!

The leg tingler is as irrelevant as he ever has been! I try too hear and listen to what they say just to get a different perspective on what others may think or feel just to try and get understanding.The problem is they do not have anything that builds,only tears down and destroys. I barely can get through 2 minutes and i am ready to puke.
America is great! But it isn’t because of them it is inspite of them.

Thank you! Mitt saved my husbands hard earned career in Massachusetts. He is a remarkable man. absolutely nothing phony about him. He works extremely hard and has a heart of gold. He has the gift of discernment and problem solving. No doubt that God has blessed him with everything needed to beat Obama,  Strengthen America , and Lead this nation. It makes me sad when people judge him wrongly. My husband was falsely accused and slandered in the liberal media, and it is horrifying to be on the receiving end of that. Mitt is handling all of the attacks against him with dignity and quiet strength. I 100% support such a man as this to become the next President of the United States. 
God bless you Mitt Romney. 

There is a little known and heretofore unstudied mutant subspecies of the human race.  These less than human mutants can be observed on MSNBC, HBO, and similar extremist left-wing networks.  They do not have human hearts.  Each of these as yet unstudied strange life forms has a squeaky, rusty, cast iron sump pump in the middle of the chest cavity which courses pure liquified hate through their veins.   When these mutants becomes ill, they only need call any nearby mechanic or appliance repair man.  If it were possible to turn off the emotion of hate by flipping a light switch, and if someone were to flip that switch, the entire democrat party would immediately lapse into a coma.  Those that do not become comatose are an even lower life form; addlebrained left wing moon-bats that have been sleeping upside down too long.

why hasn’t the Catholic Church excommunicated Matthews, Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, and all that support abortion and contraception by Catholic Cannon Law 1398?

It is all about power tripping politics, plain and simple.

 Refer to “Eyecancu” post.

What is MSNBC? Who is Chris Matthews?  I know I have heard something about them somewhere? Oh, now I remember. Are they still around?
Man where have I been? Their lips move but I can’t hear what they’re saying.

I’m not so sure that is what he meant.  He’s a bigot but I think you’re a little off as to whom he is bigoted against.  He is not saying that he thinks Mormonism is a cult.  He’s saying that Evangelicals think Mormonism is a cult.  His slam is on the Evangelicals and southern Christians who he (Mathews) accuses of being bigoted against Mormons.  I agree that he’s bigoted but his slanderous claim shows his bigotry against Evangelicals.  I would bet that he would say that he (Mathews) doesn’t think Mormonism is a cult.  His slam against Mormons would be much more indirect and sophisticated. I have no doubt that he is bigoted against Mormons, too, but we will have to wait for him to direct his venom in that direction for another time.

Chris who?

 PapaLouie has it right.  Robert, you are cutting off your nose to spite your face if you go thru with what u said in your post.  Furthermore, it strikes me as a very close-minded view.  There are greater things at stake here than your own ill informed views.

GLEN – I really truly do Love you and appreciate all you do for our nation and standing with Israel. Please don’t take this as a personal attack – Again, I really do Love and appreciate you, but I want to know why you will not “Practice what you preach?” — “Question EVERYthing…even the very existence of God…” But you will NOT question why and how you will blindly hang on to your faith in Mormonism, even when all fields of science, from archeology, to paleontology, to history, to metallurgy, even DNA - EVERY field has PROVEN beyond a single shadow of a doubt that the Book of Mormon is a complete fairytale and fraud foisted upon these people by a crystal-ball-reading young criminal – Joseph Smith.  I’m listening to your audio right now and you’re saying you would rationally defend and have a conversation with anyone about your religion. Just take 30 minutes and watch the evidence: http://www.sourceflix.com   If you say you love someone and dare not tell them the Truth about their false blind faith because you don’t want to hurt their feelings, you do NOT really love them. 

 I’m not a Mormon, but I’m 100% certain of this: Come judgement day, one heck of a lot of them will get waived right on through the old Pearly Gates

I don’t like matthews. I do like Beck.  But in this very rare case, matthews is right, mormons are a cult and not true Christians as defined in the Holy Bible.  They don’t believe God of the Bible is the only Deity, and that we have the ability to become gods ourselves. They don’t believe our salvation comes though Faith in Christ, but in works.  They believe in 3 other books besides the Bible as devinely inspired.  An angle named moroni left golded tablets in New York. Really? Don’t jump down my throat, do your research into their core beliefs. The Bible is clear that nothing is to be added…by anybody, even Mr. Smith. They have had to keep changing thier doctrines over the many decades to move it closer to the mainstream (as some of their original doctrines are really out there). Sorry Glenn, love ya, but you need to get grounded in truth and leave that cult.   They Bottom line is, matthews and their buddies on the left hate Christians of all faiths, Jews, and any religion besides islam. They like islam, simply because islam hates all Christians and Jews also, so they can really relate to them.  It’s not their place to discuss the faith of the candidates in this way, and their two-faces are showing again. Oh….and this will really make me some friends…Catholics are cult members too. That is one messed up religious structure. Mark 7:13 talks about the traditions of men that make the Word of God of no effect. This is a classic example of this truth.  They are no different in their made up rituals and structures than the Pharisees during Christ’s earthly ministry. It’s sad, and we pray for all religions that are almost there, but have fallen off the narrow path that leads to Life. They accept Christ as God, but then they go off into their own little made up world. We pray they come back to God, without their own inventions that only serve as a brick wall that separates them from Him.

Conservative Evangelicals have called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints a Cult for a very long time, and when Matthews repeats the evangelical hate, he’s the bigot? 
Conservative Evangelicals make a big point of pressing their view that Mormons aren’t Christians … and now Glenn Beck calls Matthews a bigot when he repeats it? I don’t like Matthews comments, but let’s put blame where the blame ought to go … and it ain’t Chris Mathews. He’s just repeating the vitriol the Baptist Convention and the Pentacostal Union preach from their hundreds of pulpits every Sunday. Just for the record … I’m a Mormon. I’m ashamed to say it, but … so is Glenn Beck.

Further, for the record … The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly referred to as Mormons, are as their name implies, Christians.  Their religion hinges on the saving and redeeming power of Jesus Christ.  Here is what they are not:  They are not Catholics.  They are not Protestants.  They are not Evangelicals.  Why?  Because they reject the doctrines of the Creeds embraced by those three branches of Christianity.  The LDS Church is another branch of Christianity.  I would assert that there are four major branches of Christianity in the United States:  Catholicism, Protestantism, Evangelicalism, and Mormonism.  I further assert that there are other branches of Christianity that do not fit within those four major branches. Worldwide, there are more than four major branches.

Evangelicals seem to have appointed themselves the King Makers of who is defined as Christians and who aren’t.  They come right out by saying that Mormons aren’t Christian and they rise questions about whether Catholics are.  Protestants and themselves of course are safe.

Rick Santorum on the other hand recently stated in a speech (to a Catholic audience) that the only true Christians are the Catholics, because during the reformation those that parted ways with the Catholic Church to form Protestantism were excommunicated and lost all religious authority and were cut off from Christianity.It seems to me that about the only people that recognize the Christian nature of all four of the major branches of Christianity are the Mormons.

Do you have any Mormom friends? Why not ask them what they believe or better yet, go and see for youself what they are about and dare I say, go to church with them. It’s ridiculous that people will just assume all the lies that the media, internet, etc, sprew forth instead of doing your own homework. Adding or taking away from, as you mention, was specific to the Book of Revelation; the Bible had not yet even been put together. Many books were left out or changed at the discretion of those who gathered at the Council of Nicea and changes have been made since. What about the missing Books from the Bible? Where did they go and why were they left out? Here’s a link for ya. http://www.icwseminary.org/lostbooks.htm

PS The official name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and he is the cornerstone of the religion.

I think your name should be changed to “I’mAnIdiot’.

And these are the same people that say everything was created from nothing (imagine a blank piece of paper) and suddenly there was a Big Bang. Matter came into being from nothing, and millions upon billions of years later life formed. Yeah, I really trust those scientists to get the narrative right. Just like man-made global warming is a proven fact; right. The reason why they have to disprove scientifically not just Mormon claims, but religion as a whole, is because of power. They know if people go on thinking that we evolved from an ameoba and that they know best, it keeps people chained in their ignorance.

 When Mormons are cutting people’s heads off, I’ll worry about them……….oh, and you’re an idiot.

Anyone who is against real bigotry like the kind Matthews displays should boycott his sponsors.

Uhm, you did listen when Chris Mathews flat out stated Mormons are a cult, didn’t you, idiot?  There was NOTHING irrational or anti-reason about Beck’s statements.  However, there was plenty of hypocritical anti-reason coming from Chris Mathews, as usual.

The left said a long time ago that character doesn’t matter when B. Clinton was elected despite

all the running around he did in his past (and there were the women to back up the stories.)

For those who run as Dems., character doesn’t matter.  But you better be clean and decent if

you intend to run as a Rep.—and be sure to keep your religion under wraps too.

You can blame Chris Mathews and his group of bigots there, FineTapesty.  It is, after all, their hateful analysis and outright attack on religion.

Oh, you gotta love the hypocrisy of the left, right, bjv.  I mean, their double standards and lack of morals, and all.  That’s the left for you.

I have heard the “works” accusation more times than I can count and it is a completely FALSE accusation and misunderstanding of our doctrine.  Salvation is only possible because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and love for us — His grace.  Mormons emphatically believe that the first step anyone has to take to return to God is to have faith in Jesus Christ.  Mormons believe doing good works are important because Jesus commanded us to serve and love others and follow the commandments because by doing as He asked, our faith in Him grows stronger. 

Well, atl, that is certainly another way to look at the story.  If Matthews gets enough

flack for his remarks, perhaps he will explain his comments tomorrow?

Oh, E.O.T.C.,  you know how that would go.  They would put Glenn on hold and never

return to the phone!

I personally don’t know Matthews, but his comments and stories don’t point towards him being a bigot…
Which is ironic since…
The little bitch accusing Matthews of bigotry is…
glenn beck!!! The little boy whose own bigotry cost him his job!!!!
Sorry little glenn, but Americans don’t put a lot of weight behind the “wisdom” of known religious bigots!!!

md, you speak more truth than spit tobacco.   (I’m not accusing you of tobacco spitting

—just ”making a saying.”) : )

I think the left is in for a major surprise. I think this country will come together to rid it of this evil that has permeated oit of the Whote House. I still believe in the good of the people and the power we will carry. We will fight a honest fight, but we won’t back down this time from the fraud and intimidation.
We have to start now and let them know we are putting United back into the United States and to stand back. We can no longer talk trash about any of the candidates, any one is better than what we have now, we are in this together, for to sit back will be death and destruction for the country we hold dear.

Make that all the Faithful, of all Faiths come together. That’s one of the oldest ricks the left as well as hell has, divide to Faithful. Keep them fighting among themselves so none of them notice the evil in their midst.

whats new?…. liberals/progressives/socialists/communists will always be the ones who wants to control people like bullies in the park… only they are grown ups now and still act like the kids in the parks… They dont believe in GOD because of the fear of accountablility…

 So, Robert,  you’re willing to gamble that a blank vote for president will not aid in the

reelection of B.O.?   Unfortunately, there are many who feel the way you do if ”their”

man is not on the ballot.  Which is better?  To vote for someone you don’t particularly

care for or leave it blank, thereby, casting a ”vote” for B.O.?   You really hate another

candidate that much that you are willing to put this nation through 4 more years of B.O?

They kind of remind me of firemen’s suspenders. It’s a look. Not saying it’s a good look, just a look. Glenn just needs his wife’s advice on what to wear outside of the house, just like every other guy.

I could not have said it any better! But I will take it a step further to include the entire NBC organization I avoid all of it and encourage outhers to do the same. I would love to start writing to Matthew’s endorsements and tell them that we will start a boycott campaign against their product if they don’t stop advertising on his show.

Anything but naked Glen anything you wear if fine with me..anything but naked!! Lol

Gosh guy, should we do an intervention with you? I know you were riveted to the TV screen. But glad to hear you survived, and hopefully you will have no residual dreams/nightmares.

Progressive game plan, Divide and Conquer. Think about it. I can reduce a united front with four simple views Race, Religion, Politics and Money. You can use them in any order or amount to cause unrest and strife. It is easier to sweep up and control little groups, then one big united group.

Amazing!!! I would rather have a Mormon in the Presidency than a muslim (lower m). What do you prefer? Mormons are Patriots (capital P). They will give their last drop of blood for their country. This “Mormon” president will turn around the country as to economy, jobs, outsourcing with wisdom.  HE WILL ASK GOD FOR DIRECTION to safe our country.  Now, you choose.

I agree… Mathews and Co. are just bigots.  But let’s not lose ourselves in the fog while trying to defend religious freedom.  Most people know that the Mormons are nothing if not secretive.  What Mormonism hides away inside it’s Temples IS shockingly non-Christian.  Main-stream, Words-of-Christ-Christian, I mean.  Especially pre-1990′s before they changed the ceremonies. Now, don’t make me have to give details to reply to knee-jerk defensiveness, dear Mormons; because if you’ve BEEN through the Temple, you KNOW don’t want me telling people all of that stuff at once.  

Then there are the special libraries of hidden embarrassing history that the Mormons are famous for.  I mean, the whole Mark Hofmann episode was about Gordon Hinckley and others trying to buy up damning documents so they could hide them away.

My point is that Mormons should think twice before simply reacting with feigned shock and charges of bigotry when the left uses the word “cult”.  There is no doubt that if Romney is the nominee, and he starts looking strong against Odumbass, they are going to trot out ALL of the evidence in support of it being a crazy cult, and much, much worse.  It’s one thing to be running a major religion and marketing it with lovely pictures of squeaky-clean families, with no mention of the strangeness inside the Temple.  It is one thing to keep an embarrassing history hidden from new potential converts.   But, Mormonism hasn’t had to take on the ferocious intensity of a powerful, resourceful, liberal media, taking orders from a White House falling in the polls.  Once they decide to risk appearing to be “intolerant” in order to win, (a line they didn’t have to cross last election) we already know, there will be no depths they won’t sink to.  

With the amount of fodder that lies hidden in Mormonism, once that dam cracks and breaks, it could get really, really, ugly.

Wow. I cannot begin to describe how much this enrages me. As a southern, non-denominational Christian, I am so tired to hear that I am a sexist racist who hates all other religions who wants women to breed children for rapists or die at the hands of back alley abortionists. And, as for Al Sharpton, it was not Rev. Wright’s denomination that was offensive, it was his words. Does he forget that people were upset with Pflager–A WHITE CATHOLIC PRIEST–also??? These people have lost their flippin’ minds!!!

Flagged

The bigot defends a bigger bigot.

 Buckley once said: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

I rejoice when people that have no knowledge and understanding of God offend us, because they do not really offend me, but my Lord and He can handle it, He already did and came out with victory, now we can glorify Him with power we have within, all the fruit from the Spirit and mostly the knowledge how it will all end. Our God has it all in His hand. And every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is The ruler of universe.
So bless the ones that hate you and pray for the ones that offend you and keep the values that The and only God gave you.

 All people who have values had better stand together against this worship Obama as the next coming crowd.  If Obama gets another 4 years be afraid, be very afraid

 I would include any people of faith in that statement.  And we can have differences in how we worship but we all believe that there is a God and his first name is not Barack

Let’s see – Mormon or Marxist; let me think about this - Mormon or Marxist; I think I’ll choose the Mormon.  

 Barry, you nailed it!  Continuing with your theme:  “Misery loves company”.  These liberals/progressives/socialists/communists, (add bolsheviks) know full well, deep in the depths of their sick minds that there will ultimately be a day of accountability.  They find a perverse comfort in dragging as many hapless souls as possible into hell with them.  Hence the phrase, misery loves company.

In all reality, Chris was pointing out the bigotry of the Evangelical right, who see others who do not share their interpretation of biblical theology as cults.  Chris, in what I got out of it, was trying to share the mindset of the Evangelicals and that they would ‘outsource’ to a Mormon if he could beat Obama, being that they believe Mormons are members of a cult.  I do not see this as being nearly as crazy as people are making it out to be.  The truth is many Evangelicals would not vote for a Mitt simply because he is a Mormon.  Remove the word Mormon and insert Black, Jewish, etc. and the nation would be up in arms.  Yet it puzzles me that few call out these Evangelicals for what they demonstrate as blatant bigotry.  So Chris Matthews may be slightly bigoted, but the people he describes are much more so.

The Mormons that came to my home admitted that the Book of Mormon, the current Prophet and the Temple trump the King James Bible’s authority.  One of the tests for a true “cult” is if they place another authority, written or otherwise, on the same level or above the Bible.  Glenn is miffed about some false accusations by this liberal, but the Mormon church does have some strange and non-traditional [Christian] teachings in their religion which he should challenge and disavow instead of acting like they don’t exist in their written creed.

 Blake, your liberal indoctrination looks complete, right where the democrats want you.

Actually the quote is “I the Lord thy god am a jealous god and thou shalt have no other gods before me”.

Just to be clear, those of us who are of the LDS faith don’t claim to be “traditional” Christians.  We know we believe some
strange teachings that go against the norm.  If we didn’t we wouldn’t
be Mormon, we’d be prodestant.  What we do is worship Jesus Christ as
our Savior and Redeemer.  The full name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  That is why we consider ourselves Christian. You could call us non-creedal Christians or ancient Christians if that makes more sense to you, but it really doesn’t matter in the long run.  We don’t have to agree with theology entirely, but I’d bet we have most of our values in common.  That is what we should focus on, values and character, like Beck says.  Especially in a President, because that is what matters most. 

 Well said, I agree.

He’s referring to what southern evangelicals think of Mormons.  Get a kleenex and mop up.

Hello! Nuts!

The reason why the left doesn’t care: Mormonism is a religion, not a race. It’s so funny to hear white people talk about how they are persecuted. Really? Now that I think about it I am so glad I don’t have religious friends.

“I couldn’t get a taxi today because I’m a Mormon.”
“52% of my Evangelical brothers make up the prison population and we make up only 12% of the U.S. population.
“You know how it is being Protestant and growing up in the ghetto”

Bigots? Grow up, because the left doesn’t give a hoot about white people problems.

Yeah, ok little one.  Now go back to your padded cell, and take your Prozac.

I think the real issue – for the non-mormon electorate – is this: When a presidential candidate of the LDS faith, who is known to have sworn an oath of loyalty and allegiance, consecrating all that he has (his time, talent and resources) to the Mormon church – and has done so as a covenant made with God in the holiest of places, the temple – should this person’s worldview merit further scrutiny?
Likewise, in the case of a presidential candidate or Supreme Court nominee of the Islamic faith – a faith that for some reason, which I admittedly do not understand, is allowed the leeway for its adherents to implement Sharia Law in the land of America (although it will certainly be constitutionally challenged) – what are we to imagine if there is no further scrutiny of the candidate’s worldview in that instance?
While Mormons are exemplary in living their christian values, and are patriotic americans – the same patrioticness can be said of other faiths in the land – it doesn’t appear that Romney has assuaged the fears and concerns over this whole issue with his church.
Unlike JFK, whose church was based in a far country, Romney’s church in based right here in the U.S.
While he seems like a good man of moral character, not unlike the other candidates, there are some deep questions he has yet to address.

All of the above mentioned religious groups, plus the Jewish religion, had better band together.  We worship the same God.  Has anyone not noticed the war on religion in this country?

Jesus instructs us to love one another…that’s simple to understand.   Hate the infidel isn’t the battle cry of any Christian, be it Mormon or not.

 Have you been to church lately? Seems like a cult to me.

 Interesting viewpoint.  So I think what you want to know is, will the mormon prophet be running the country through Romney?  Is that essentially what you are asking or am I reading your post wrong?

 BTW Juansantiago I don’t believe the Missionaries told you the Book of Mormon trumps the Bible. We feel they testify of each other and our Savior, we quote and read out of both weekly. You say we should disavow or try to change the teachings of our church…really, WHY, because you and others have determined what one should believe to be considered a Christian. Why don’t we all leave the judging up to the supreme Judge, our Savior. Knowing we all have differences and just get along.

If you investigate the LDS Church you will find, it is set up like the church at the time of the Savior. With Apostles and Prophets etc, which would make you think who really is the non-traditional church.

Glenn Beck over his career has attacked the muslim and jewish religion. so before he say that some else shouldn’t do it he has to also say it to him self.

 Blake, I believe you are very accurate in your assessment…

You are all wrong.  It has nothing to do with religion at all.     This has been an on going battle since the existence of the Democrat pary.   It has everything to do with anyone who is a Republican Conservative.   As long as a person is a liberal, anything goes.

Why would Democrats skip over their own history from 1848 to 1900? Perhaps because it’s not the kind of civil rights history they want to talk about….perhaps because it’s not the kind of civil rights history they want on their website. The Democrat’s website is accurate when it says that the Democratic efforts for civil rights “began” with Truman in 1946, for there certainly is much about civil rights that they would rather not talk about before that time.

Instead of perverting the black vote, they are now focused on the Christian vote.  But it has nothing to do with Christianity per say, but the fact that most Christians are Conservative Republicans.   

Mr. Sharpton,  why would Americans think Obama is a Muslim?     Could it be we heard him say he is Muslim and then was corrected by George stephanoupolous in an interview?

 Hey Raincheck your a moron, I’ve been going to the LDS Temple since 1973 and the ceremonies haven’t change to any great degree. I love the bigoted anti-Mormon bull crap  by those who think they got it figured out. What goes on in the Temples are not secret they are sacred…really is that so hard to understand. Call me anytime RAINCHECK and I will set you straight on what our church really believes. Then you can actually discuss it with some cred. 801-613-7214 

Actually, I am deeply conservative, and a practicing Christian.  What I cannot stand for is how Evangelical Christians tout their biblical interpretations as superior, and have the hubris to claim the litmus test for who is and who is not a Christian.  I am in no way a fan of Chris Matthews, or the liberal left.  I was simply pointing out that his explanation was made as is he were an Evangelical in the South having to pick, or ‘outsource’ as he put it, an election to someone not of their faith, and how that is a struggle for many of them.  My point is that it is a struggle based off of theological differences, and not political ones.  I have heard many self proclaimed Evangelicals swear they would never vote for a Mormon, no matter what the case.  That is the bigotry I see, and must point out.  No liberal indoctrination here Eyecancu (clever moniker btw).

 He never said was a Muslim. If he were, who cares? Isn’t that a little bigoted, Rufree?

Corey…I’ve never heard Glenn say anything negative about the Jewish people or religion.
Maybe you could give us some examples…

What exactly is it that ties all that are Christians in your view?    I know the answer, just wondering if you do.

Chris Matthews saying anything,  doesn’t make it so.

Yes. However, it may be a bit more complicated than that. When Romney gave his religion speech several years ago, there were things I wasn’t aware of regarding the Mormon church.

I realize now the LDS doctrine emphatically embraces
the U.S. Constitution, as it sees the Constitution as divinely inspired. For
any patriotic American, there probably won’t be much argument over that
assertion. The issue here is that the LDS Church (the religion) has
indoctrinated its members into the notion of a divine document (the state) that
comes from their God for their blessing. A blessing which came from the
Providential hand on the history of America, with the advent of the
Constitution, for the sole purpose of bringing about the “restoration” of the
gospel – through the prophet Joseph Smith – and establishing the true church in
order to prepare the earth for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Thus, the LDS
doctrine purposely combines church and state. Therefore, at the very least, the
line of separation between church and state amongst devout Mormons tends to be
blurred.

And all this through the reverence toward a so-called prophet with a very dubious history and character.

Yet, no doubt, Mormons – like my friends who are Jehovah Witnesses – are exemplary of moral character. The same can be said for my friends who are devout in their Muslim faith.

However, when it comes to running for the office of President, I have no issue with the Jehovah Witnesses. And, according to their doctrine, it never will be an issue.

It seems to me (and I’m not the only one) there should be more scrutiny of Romney’s worldview.

You mention deep questions, yet admit that Mormons are exemplary in living christian values and are patriotic Americans.  Seems to me that that should be a clear sign that they would be no less desirable a candidate than any other patriotic american.  It is the people that insist there must be some deep dark influence on the candidate from their church that continue to foment the distrust you mention.  If you look at their beliefs, they also swear to honor, obey and sustain the law of the land they live in.  So the question is, does the pledge of consecration you mention trump their honor for law?  I have never seen a court case where a Mormon claims they broke the law to uphold that pledge you mention.  I HAVE seen other religious people in court, however, use their religion as a basis for denying medical care, and other things, but never a Mormon.  So your argument is a red herring, plain and simple.

Bigoted????   Wouldn’t that be a little disingenuous, UD?   You like being lied to, UD?   In view of Islamic radicalism, shouldn’t someone have been vetted before being nominated, UD?   Would the Fort Hood shooter gotten away with the murders of I believe 13 people, if he had been scrutinized better, UD?

Did you miss Obama saying he is a Muslim and then corrected by the interviewer?
youtube, George Stephanopoulus Sept, 2008.   Watch and learn.
You seem to be OK with being lied to, yes UD?

I now am even further perplexed, as you have no problems with Jehovah’s Witnesses, yet they, like Mormons, reject classical trinitarianism (one of the main arguments Evangelicals have against Mormons – and they also classify Witnesses as a cult btw).  They, according to a quick wiki search, refuse to honor the American flag, see secular society as corrupt, and limit their interaction with non-Witnesses, so not celebrate common Christian holidays, and only a select few will stand in heaven with God and Jesus Christ.  Seems to me that their religion would merit a ‘deeper look’ as how it influences their worldview as well.  Another fallacious argument Lamanite.

There’s no point in arguing. You Glenn Beck conspiracy theorists know how to take anything out of context. He said, “My Muslim faith,” as point of debate where blogs were saying he was a Muslim. He used this to open up an argument. He in-fact cleared up the matter instantly and said he was deeply offended. You cannot just watch clips of interviews, rather watch the interview

I have Muslim friends. Not like “go out to the bar” type friends (they don’t drink), but they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They are the only religious people that won’t get into religious debates with an atheist. It’s this Muslim fear that bothers me.

Fort Hood? What about our own rogue soldier kill afghans? They are people too.

Do me a favor please

fast forward to 2:40

Of course he instantly cleared that up.  My Christian faith, oops, I mean my Buddhist faith wouldn’t allow me to lie like that.    Thanks for clearing that up. I too have Muslim friends who are of normal thinking and peaceful warriors.

Just look up the  Anti-Semitic statement he said about Soros. and the many statement he has made against Muslims

Judas was also a Jew-does that make him Anti-Semitic?    Glenn is no more that, than I am.   Soros is a bad, bad  person, whom was born Jewish to the consternation of his family.

Their belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior ties them together, as much as some of them deny that tie.  Any single group of the Christian faith can argue their inherent superiority over any other group (most do), and all to the detriment of what we need to achieve this election cycle, that of restoring our nation to its conservative roots. 

I thought so!

Rufree, you’ve been roofied

I remember that word “jealous”. It bewildered and intrigued me when I read it. Since we tend to view jealousy as a negative attribute, I wondered if it was a weak translation of a Hebrew word. But in these days and times, I’m beginning to see the meaning of it. We were once one nation “under God”. I’m not sure we are anymore. If we don’t remember Him, we may find out what His jealousy means for us.

Sorry I was out and missed your post.  Jesus Christ would have nothing to do with slashing your throat, or having you disemboweled if you give up secret handshakes.

Now, you can believe what you want, but my point was only that I believe the liberals will trot this stuff out if Romney looks to beat Obama, and I think it should be considered seriously.

Perhaps because I’m a recovering liberal, I have to say I that I agreed with Chris’s synopsis. I’m a Mormon and was shocked that Romney did as well as he did in the south. I expected his numbers to be much lower there.

Sounds to me like Matthews is admitting the Mitt Romney can solve the problem (that’s a good thing), but he doesn’t care if Romney can fix it (the economy), because he’s not the right TYPE to be fixing it…. not the right religion, color, nationality, party, etc.   If that’s not “Bigotry”… I don’t know what is!   That’s the DEFINITION of a biggot (when he admits that Romney can do it but he doesn’t care because he’s the wrong color, religion, party, or whatever biggoted rational he is using for rejecting him regardless of his own belief that Romney may have the answers.

When I find somebody who can solve my problem (be it a health problem, computer problem, car problem, or the economy)… I don’t reject a mechanic who can fix my car because he’s the wrong color!   I don’t reject a doctor who can fix my heart because he’s the wrong race!   I don’t reject a computer tech because he’s the wrong nationality!   I don’t reject a guy who can fix the economy because HE’S THE WRONG RELIGION!!!

If he can fix it… I LET HIM FIX IT.   I don’t reject him because I know he can fix it but I’m a biggot!  

That’s a ridiculous position to take, and Matthews SHOULD be ridiculed for taking it.

Says glen but he has never showed that what he said was fact. Here is the double standard because if Obama would have made that statement you have jumped all over him. but because Glenn says it not only is it ok but it has to be true.

I saw Larry King. But now that you mention it…..
We love you Glenn, no matter what you wear. Just sayin’…….

Mattews is right in what he says alot of republican are pulling for Romney. Not because of his policies or idea, but because they feel he has the best chance to be Obama.

And some Republicans think that replacing Obama with somebody who embraces Free Market Economics… is a critical part of the solution IF we are to get America, our Debt, and our Economy back on track.

I would have NO PROBLEM with Matthews if he rejected Romney because he thought he couldn’t solve the problem.   But rejecting him DISPITE your belief that he can solve the problem JUST BECAUSE HE’S THE WRONG RELIGION… is wrong-headed logic.

It may be so in some cases but he could not have word it in such a way that does sound condescending. Now as for your other point our views on God are different but your right we can stand together in common goals and most of the time we do. We should not worry about are differences but what binds us together as a nation. By the way I am a recovering left winger myself small world isn’t it.

Not only has Obama said worse stuff, but actually has done also.

He is saying that the Evangelical Right are saying Romney is not the right TYPE.  If you watch the entire clip, you will see it is prefaced by statistics showing Evangelicals as a large part of the voting block in those states.  They then go on to talk about the struggle the Evangelical White voters have in accepting Romney BECAUSE of his faith and that to them, it would be like ‘outsourcing’.  It all makes sense if you listen to the entire clip.  I am not, by any means, a fan of Chris Matthews, but in this case, his argument is valid.  It is the Evangelical White voters who cant look past the end of their own nose, and would rather cut it off than see a Mormon in the White house.  Look at what happened with Romney in 2008 and how Huckabee continued to attack Romney well after McCain was the front runner.  The bigotry is not so much in Chris Matthews as it is in the bulk of the White Evangelical voters.

Not all Republicans think that.  That’s what’s funny about liberals….you are all so easily deceived.

 Not really. The majority of liberals have read more than one book.

Chris Matthews is one scotch away from being Ron Burgundy.

examples?

The Evangelicals don’t believe Romney to be conservative at all-it has nothing to do with he being Mormon.   Romney is left of center, but not quite a liberal.
But Blake, why am trying to change your mind?    I’m not;  so let me answer my own question.
You have an agenda here and I want to make certain that some here know your views, and they are just your views, are somewhat disingenuous and eschewed at best;  people should understand that so as not to view it as fact.

may I ask of you the same question?

Yes, but are they understood?

i didn’t say all republican, I said alot of replu

That may very well be, but.
r u free?

Sorry RUFREE, but i personally know many Evangelicals and they DO espouse the belief that since Romney is a Mormon, voting for him is like voting for Satan himself.  Reference a website from the 2008 election cycle called Pastors for Huckabee ( here is the link  
http://pastors4huckabeeblog.com/the-biblical-case-against-voting-for-a-mormon-for-president-why-christians-who-support-romney-actualy-violate-scripture/
They actually correlate Mormonism and Romney with the Anti-Christ for heavens sake!  I have had several Evangelicals direct me to this website to back up their arguments against Romney.  I have no agenda here other than pointing out that the narrow mindedness of the Evangelical Right will possibly doom us to another 4 years of Obama.  Nothing more.

Who told you that?    You answered so many other questiond first before answering this one.  Interesting.    And so articulate at that!

Their belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior ties them together, as much as some of them deny that tie.   Hmmmmm…THEIR….interesting.

 Me thinks MY Christian belief is different than yours.

 I don’t know which question to respond to. The books of many will contain more understanding than the books of one. Simple. And yes I AM FREE. I don’t own a car. I don’t believe in ghosts, and I’ve done something most Republican Christians haven’t – I have traveled outside of my own country.

 It is different, Roger Chillingsworth. Jesus was black anyway, maybe more brown than black but totally not white. So your religion is bogus to begin with.

Killing the bald eagle for religious reasons?    Do these people ever give up?     Is being religious really require that a treasured bird be killed?    How many of you out there believe this lie?   The LSM is desperate;  a caged animal is a dangerous creature…we are all in peril.

You can read up on Darwinism, but if you are a true Christian as you say, travel doesn’t answer the why people believe in it or why, as your name implies, understand it.

Right Malcom…what color am I?

Proof that THEY come in pairs;  don’t have all the answers, facts or truths.  They do get back to us though, after asking their handlers.   How rich and entertaining!

What? I’m an atheist. What part of, “don’t believe in ghosts,” don’t you understand?

God told them to do it.

Malcom? Read his biography. You may find blacks and Muslims aren’t all that bad.

I think in this case, Stu and Pat are right.  Matthews is talking about how he believes the people in the South, namely the Evangelicals, look at Mormons and Catholics.  I have read enough blogs and heard enough interviews to know that there is plenty of anti-Mormon sentiment on the far right.  The organization Evangelicals for Mitt Romney proves they don’t all feel that way, but there are plenty who do.  Matthews many very well be masking some of his own bigotry, but to pretend it doesn’t exist on the right is to turn a blind eye to reality.

If we all came together on the things we agree on socially and not worry about doctrinal variances what a difference we could make in this country. 

Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church said, “If it has been demonstrated that I have been willing to die for a Mormon, I am bold to declare before Heaven that I am just as ready to die in defending the rights of a Presbyterian, a Baptist, or a good man of any other denomination; for the same principle which would trample upon the rights of the Latter-day Saints would trample upon the rights of the Roman Catholic or of any other denomination who may be unpopular and too weak to defend themselves.” (Documentary History of the Church Vol.5, p. 498.)   

We can either stand together, or fall divided.  The forces that hate religion are uniting and becoming more and more vocal.  As conservatives who believe freedom of religion is for ALL we must be come together.

It seems to me, that these loud mouths, touting the obama speeches and talking points, must have been either bullied in school, or even maybe the bullies themselves…they think by repeating the same old garbage everyone is just going to buy into their agenda, but if you really look at what they are doing, its buying votes, and those who vote for them are going to be without for another four years, then they will promise more, and keep none, to get them voted in for another four.  Its just repeat repeat repeat, and no poor get richer, and medicaid keeping dropping programs, but keeps giving to illegals…americans can do without, but illegals, don’t even have to answer questions..they don’t pay federal taxes, but collect from us to pay…crap, all crap, time to remove the idiots that decided americans needed to turn the other cheek and keep the check book open.  Those in the offices, suppose to be working on visas, making sure expired ones don’t go unchecked, aren’t doing  their jobs, all need to be fired, and those who care about the laws of this country put in to work.  Time to get this country back on track, and stop letting others push us around.

I think it’s anywhere USA,  Christians in general.   It is easiler to seperate one specific group though-how ridiculous!

The left needs to be put back in the box and lid shut tight.

Shouldn’t you statement read. “God told us to do it?”

I’m sure there are people of all sorts believe that about Mormans, but to group Evangelicals into one little package is false.

Oh gee, I don’t know….perhaps it was your  statement:

“And yes I AM FREE. I don’t own a car. I don’t believe in ghosts, and I’ve done something most Republican Christians haven’t – I have traveled outside of my own country. ”
You assumed way too much.  Your words indicated perhaps you were a Christian, but one who travels unlike most.
An atheist…..that explains everything.

It seems like Blake Perkins and UnderstandDarwinism is one in the same, yes?

I think they are more interested in eskewing the Evangelicals and using the Moron religion to do it.

same here.

Facts, only facts here.  What Conservative Evangelicals called Mormons a cult?  Name names please.

http://misfitpolitics.co/2012/01/we-get-it-youre-an-atheist/

Where, in any of my posts do I besmirch Muslims or blacks?   How can you tell what color I am?   

 I sort of see what you are saying, but don’t most Christians believe the Constitution was divinely inspired?  How does that effect the government now?  And did you know Harry Reid is also a practicing Mormon?  He holds a high government position and his views are quite different from Romney.  Seems like the Church stays pretty clear of politics/government to me.

I too am a recovering lefty and wonder how one can be a true Christian and still remain a liberal?

Unfortunately, one of the problems with fighting the left is that as godless heathens they have no ethical underpinnings (Judeo/Christian ideals) to hamper, restrict, or cause brain cramps in their consciousness. They have no problem bringing a machine gun whether to a dog fight or a picnic. Therefore we must do as my hero Glenn always implores, TELL THE TRUTH, THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE!  We conservatives must hammer with truthful ideas and truth in our actions and have faith that this most powerful of tools will prevail eventually, that is before November 2012!

Let’s put aside our religious beliefs and concentrate on the political aspect of the proplem:

Ask yourself how is it that in less than 250 years a single population of under 300 million people so dominated the planet for good. There are populations, countries, civilizations that have been around thousands of years. Our DNA is no different than theirs. We are not inherently smarter; we are not a special species; there is nothing that is differentiates us…..other than where we live.
Look at the advancement in the world’s standard of living in the 19th and 20th centuries alone because of the United States. What makes it possible? Freedom. And the founding principles right in our Declaration:
“We are all endowed by our Creator”….ergo, there is a GOD….with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Which ideological movement today advances the concept of life? Which ideology advances the concept of liberty? Not liberalism….in other words, not the Democrat Party. And which movement is advancing the whole notion of the pursuit of happiness? If you guessed liberalism, you would be wrong. They are never happy; have you ever seen them smile?

Corey, who is instructing you?

What’s really outrageous is Chris “tingle up his leg” Matthews. Calling others bigots or a cult as you show your own bigotry. This idiot really should learn what the word hypocrisy means.

Yes, as they collect their free shyt that has been taken from others.

I am not ‘grouping then into one little package’.  The whole Chris Matthews interview is about the influence of White Evangelicals in the current political contest.  Ergo, my comments were specifically related to Chris’s comments and the thoughts that informed them.  There may be other people who feel antagonistically towards Mormons, but they are not the topic of the interview, or this thread.

Well said Jack!

No, I have nothing against Mormans.  What I do take exception to is Matthews putting Evangelists in one group as those that besmirch Mormans for their beliefs.  Where does he get that info?   MSNBC polls?   My fear is that there are people out there that give this idiot credence.

You should know;  you live in CA.    I had no idea you were a liberal.  Only a liberal would say what you just said.   Liberals take no pleasure in our great country.   Liberals aren’t happy unless they badmouth their own country.  

 You remind me of Woody Allen;  the authur of, “I wouldn’t belong to a country club that would accept me as a member.”

Yes, I would agree most Christians believe the Constitution was divinely inspired. I suppose that is why we would historically see America as a Christian nation. I personally hold to that view. However, living in a pluralistic society – encompassing many faiths, beliefs and non-belief – I guess that is what makes the constitution so powerful. It is a document that accomadates all the above. In theory, even a devout Muslim could advance through the political heirarchy to become President.

Could you, and others, embrace a person of that faith as your President, knowing they might hold very fundamental beliefs about a woman’s role – along with other strong doctrinal beliefs spelled out in the Koran – without a further vetting of their worldview.

The LDS Church has a very good political neutrality policy. However, the issue isn’t about the general membership per say, but about the potential influence between the church leadership and a potential mormon president – the most powerful position in the land, which position is the face and representation of all the country’s citizenship. This would be new territory… just as in JFK’s time – however, with major differences.

It is these differences that many are suspicious of, and want more answers to assuage their fears.

As for good ol’ Harry, well… when your representing the land of Las Vegas, it is a no brainer that a politician would have to be a democrat. And, knowing that, outside Utah, the Las Vegas area has the most mormons per capita, it is a no brainer he couldn’t lose as a politician.

In fact, having Harry in the membership, is a nice feather in the LDS’ cap – to prove the church is politically diverse. Granted, there are a diversity of political persuasions in the LDS church, but the Democratic Party platform, as presently constituted, is not consistent with the mormon values. Thus, Utah is a very red state.

I would imagine most mormons, outside the leadership, find Harry rather embarrasing (just my opinion).

I think most skeptical non-mormons will need more than the religion speech Romney gave back in 2007.

Raincheck, I’m glad there are at least a couple more folks here who speak the Truth in Love.  I, too, love Glen and his Mormon “friends”, but you can tell they just refuse to hear or see or even think about ANYthing that doesn’t agree with their “talking points”.  I guess when you are brainwashed by your parents into believing in these make-believe Laminites and other Hebrews who sailed to South America, the millions who according to Smith’s holy Book of Mormon fought and died with metal weapons and animals which all have been scientifically proven to be a fraud since not one single artifact supporting Joseph’s fairytale has been dug up in all of the archeological digs.  DNA studies prove there never was a single Israelite who came over there and started these peoples who became the South, Central, or North American INDIANS.  They just will NOT look at the proof, but it’s all there – The TRUTH.  take a peak:  http://www.sourceflix.com

Thanks for the great discussion, I appreciate being able to have a civil conversation. In the interest of full disclosure, I am Mormon myself and fully active in the LDS church. While I’m not sure if I’ll be voting for Romney yet, it is important to me to understand why some people might be skeptical of a mormon president, other than just disagreeing with mormon theology. I am trying to find a way to explain why I believe the Prophet would be completely uninterested in running the country and completely against influencing the President.  Let me know if these arguements hold any weight for you, I am just brainstorming here.

1. The President of the Church (and other general church authorities) is simply way too busy.  I know that seems simplistic, but Thomas S. Monson is extremely busy with travel, preaching, and the organization and ministry of a worldwide church 14 million+ strong.

2. The main thing the LDS Church leaders are concerned with is saving souls.  Bringing people to Christ. I know they bend over backwards to follow the laws, rules, and regulations here in the US and in other countries so as to be allowed to practice and to send missionaries out to preach.  In my opinion, illegally or unethically influencing any government leader directly would be disasterous to the growth of the church and is completely against everything we believe.

3.  Consider these 2 of the “12 articles of faith” or basic LDS tenents, written by Joseph Smith.

“11 We claim the privilage of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. 
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying honoring, and sustaining the law.”

I think those two articles speak for themselvs.
I am hoping these reasons are helpful.  I’m sure I could think of more given time.  I guess the trick now would be how to make examples like these widely known.  I don’t think Romney should focus on religious topics unless absolutely essential to his campaign, as they are very distracting, but perhaps they are essential now.  I don’t know if there is any way to know how many voters are really concerned about the LDS religion over political matters involving Romney as a candidate.
Again, thank you for your insightful comments.

I questioned a rumor that preachers were directing their parishioners to vote for Santorum and against Romney last weekend since I knew that an evangelical coalition had previously been formed to back Santorum.  On Monday a pastor in Florida who is backing Santorum called for Romney to denounce his “racist religion”, stating that no black, Indian, Latino or Jew would ever vote for Romney.  I didn’t want to believe that people of faith would be so evil.  However, I have received several replies to my query from evangelicals who verified these reports.  Sad commentary!  I could never attend a church where my minister would use his position as my spiritual leader to tell me for whom to vote.   

taric7, I’m talking about REAL science, that you can observe, test, and duplicate.  I’m a Bible-believing Christian who KNOWS that evolution and the Big Bang and millions and billions of years and Life from non-life and all of that is a fairytale, too. I don’t take anything just by totally blind faith; Jesus said “Come, let us reason together.”  I just can’t seem to get any of these wonderful Mormon American Patriots whom I truly do Love with all of my heart, especially Glen Beck, to even look at any real scientific evidence.  All of the real evidence – and there are piles of it – prove that the Book of Mormon is totally made up…none of it is the truth.  It is all scientifically proven to be a Fraud & fairytale.  I have no other motive to share this but that Glen says he stands for Truth – mostly I believe he does, but not when it comes to that fraud put out by that criminal, Joseph Smith…God calls him “FALSE prophet”.  Just check it out – Please.

There is almost as much bigotry in the US as in my country (Norway) these days. Want details? http://junipersec.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/the-path-not-taken/

DENSE atl134, watch the complete clip.  He clearly and naturally, without a hesitation or even a pause afterward says “…hasn’t said anything about my Muslim religion.” And then the interviewer corrects him, not Obama!  he says “You mean your Christian religion.”THEN he corrects himself.  He would not have paused or had a 2nd thought about it if he wasn’t interupted and corrected. It’s clear to any perceptive man with any wisdom at all, Obama was BUSTED!  He is the biggest LIAR and anti-Christian anti-American president we have ever had. 

I appreciate your thoughtfulness in taking into account the observations and arguments I have been making. I only wish more LDS members would think like you. It is a pleasure to converse with an open-minded person. You are to be commended.

As to your brainstorming thoughts, my feedback is as follows -
Your #1 point: Not sure that carries much weight in that the leadership is structured through hierarchical delegation. Obviously, the LDS President isn’t going to inappropriately associate with a U.S. President. He’ll delegate through others. The point here is the difference between JFK’s situation and Romney’s: the Catholic Church leadership is not based in the U.S., and the Catholic Church doctrine is not geared toward an eventual theocracy based from America (my observation of the suspicions from non-Mormons).

Your #2 point: I whole heartedly agree. However, Muslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses think the same way, let alone most Evangelicals. When it comes to politics, we don’t have any concerns with the Witnesses. Yet, I’m fairly certain there are many non-Muslims who would be most concerned with the worldview of a devout Muslim candidate for President. The point here would be – if it is true that a devout Mormon has taken a sacred oath to build up the LDS Church, how do you remove the natural suspicions that even in an indirect way, there is no influencing between church and state positions. I do know the one way is to allow it to happen (let the chips fall where they may, so to speak) and let’s see what actually happens over time. I’m actually open-minded enough to try the experiment. However, that still does not address the initial suspicions adequately enough.

Your #3 point: These are good. I think most honorable citizens of the country would agree with these statements. The only part I would take issue with is the first part of article #12 – “We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates…” As a red-blooded American patriot, I don’t believe in being subject to anybody. I think Joseph should have kept it at “We believe in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. Personally, as a result of our Founding Father’s convictions, and the documents they created, I think it is our duty to always challenge our government leaders in order to keep them honest to their proper role in government. Besides, We The People, are the government.

Please keep in mind, I am not trying to bash or be hostile to your religion. I am only trying to bring up, what I believe, are natural, but serious, fears and suspicions by those outside the Mormon faith – which happen to be a significant amount of voters concerned over the issue of the separation of church and state.

Being a mayor, governor, or even a member of congress, as a devout member of the LDS faith is not the issue – as those are elected officials representing relatively small constituencies within a district or region. Think Mormon elected officials from predominantly Mormon communities, or Muslim officials from areas with a predominant Muslim population. Yet,running for President really takes it up an exponential notch. The complexities of our pluralistic society demands that certain questions be addressed.

While I don’t profess to know all the answers in addressing these concerns, I am encouraged by your thoughtful inquiries.

People keep attacking Chris Mathews and accusing him of being biased or
prejudiced. This is totally false. Look at Mr. Mathews statements
about “Cults” and Catholics and his response to Glenn Beck.

Mr. Beck, Mr. Mathews’ opinions are not based on bigotry and prejudice.

They are based on naivete and incredible stupidity.

Mr. Mathews still thinks it is a half century ago and JFK is running
for president. He is unaware that there are MILLIONS of Catholic
Southerners. So enough of the remarks about bigotry. They are
completely wrong.

The question, the Real Question, is about Mr. Mathews ignorance, stupidity and naivete.

His every remark is alienating Millions of Southern Catholics and other
voters who might otherwise vote Democratic. Mr. Mathews is actually the
GREATEST ally that the Republicans could hope for and he proves 5
nights a week on television.

Not only is Matthews a bigot, he’s an asshole.

Now, I don’t agree with Chris and Ed attacking Mitt because of his religion.  However, I do have a problem with that religion calling itself Christian.  It contradicts the main beliefs.  I would challenge Glenn to look into the religion that he has in common with Mitt.  Delve into its claims with the same fervor.  He doesn’t need to broadcast his findings.  This is just a personal challenge.   

As for Chris and Ed, they show their bigotry with a great diligence. They are godless and mock anyone that isn’t.   

Mr. Beck,
My name is Monte Matheson.  Like you I am LDS.  Like you I’m a Republican.  I voted for Rick Santorum, because I liked what he had to say. Now you’re competing with me for the position of president of the “Mormons for Santorum” club.  We’ll have to meet with all three of us to vote on it.

However, that’s not why I’m writing.  I can’t stand MSNBC, but I used to watch Matthews back during the impeachment days when it wasn’t just Manhatteners watching CNBC and MSNBC, and I saw his response to you on the above clip, and I do think you attacked him unfairly on being AntiMormon.  Doubtless that pucilanimous shouter Lawrence O’Donnel is, but Matthews has  never disparaged Mormonism itself.  In all the years I watched him, he always treated Senator Hatch, Bay Buchannen and most other LDS people with dignity and respect, and had kind things to say about the church and its people.  His response to your statements about Mormons and his statement of good LDS people he knew that led him to where he was was not just smoke and mirrors.  He has always had respect for our faith.  He’s said a lot of other things that scare the crap out of me and should concern all Americans equally, but none of that was specific to LDS people.

You may have a point on the south.  He is a  Catholic, and as such he may harbor, it appears, some resentment towards the protestant south.  I once shared this prejudice against the south because my ancestors had to flee Georgia once they converted to Mormonism, in the late 19th century. I was not cured of this prejudice by someone calling me a bigot, though it may have been true.  I was cured of it when I was a 1LT in the Army Guard attending the Captains Career Course in FT Benning, GA and had the opportunity to get to know some good southern people in Columbus, GA and Auburn, AL.  There I learned that much of the south had changed with America, and my old prejudices were wiped away with a warm southern smile. 

I mention that, because I think in this clip you adopted the lefts means of fingerpointing on bigotry, when it’s not lobbing names, but love that wins hearts.  I know my insults towards O’Donnel may be the antithesis of that, but I’m not perfect either.  I would say the Tuskeegee Airmen putting themselves at greater risk than any fighter escort group before them, on behalf of the bomber crews they accompanied and protected, probably did just as much to win people to the Civil Rights Cause as Rosa Parks’s refusal to move.   

As a man who shares your faith and your values, I would ask you to apologize to Chris Matthews at the least on the Mormon comment, becuase it is not true.  Restate your case in defense of the decent southerners and ask him to treat them fairly as you will have treated hi by your retraction of the anti-Mormon bigot comment.  Of course I’m a nobody, and you don’t have to pay me any mind, but I hope your conscience will tell it to you in a way that is more becoming than my words.  God Speed.  

Since the administration is making the Catholic Church appear to be against women (though opposition the HHS mandate has nothing to do with that at all) Axelrod is trying to make the Mormons appear “anti-woman” as well.  That is supposed to turn women against any possible R nominees and tries to put us into religious factions.

  I did not have an opportunity to see, or hear this until now. I am not a “BIG” supporter of Either Rick Santorum, or  Mitt Romney, and I do not say, nor will I ever say anything bad about his religion. No Catholic has ever forced me to do anything against my beliefs. NONE whatsoever.  This “BOY” had better watch his-self.  I am not a hateful man, but BOYS from the South know how to take care of things, and we will, and can take care of his ugly but real easily.

Ok, jiust because we don’t belive in god doesnt mean that we don’t have morals.

What most people fail to recognize is that many of the most bigoted, mindless, moronic dimwits out there are liberals. Why? Because no matter how stupid you are, no matter how baseless your claims, no matter how ludicrous your reasoning, no matter how heinous or outrageous your behavior, if you are a liberal, you will NEVER hear a word of criticism. There is literally no limit whatsoever in the world of the liberal.  It is literally considered a crime in the liberal world to criticize a Muslim, but openly referring to Catholicism and Mormonism as a cult is A-Okay.  If you are a liberal, it is literally impossible to be a bigot, a “hater”, a hypocrite.  When you fervently believe that the end justifies the means (literally the mantra of the liberals), there is no such thing as hypocrisy because whatever you do, up to and including murder and riots, is acceptable. They are so accustomed to this type of behavior, that when they DO finally step over the line (think Keith Olbermann accusing Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin on live television of having collaborated with an as yet, unknown, assailant who murdered 6 people and wounded 18, including Gabriel Gifford), and held accountable for their own actions and lies, they take on the air of having been wrongfully accused and, typically, they pick up a new job that pays more than their last job.  That is reality.  Ed Schultz calls women vile names on his show and he is a hero (at least in his own mind).  When Rush Limbaugh does something stupid, but infinitely less offensive, Ed Schultz completely loses his mind criticizing his much richer and much more wealthy nemesis for weeks, practically frothing at the mouth with indignation and hatred, never mind that Rush Limbaugh has never used the kind of language that Ed Schultz spews on a nearly daily basis.  Oh, no. What he does is NECESSARY because of the “danger” of the conservative ideology.  Chris Matthews is always the first in line to accuse conservative competitors of horrific crimes, yet there is absolutely nothing for which he will accept accountability.  Who needs accountability when you are a liberal?  Why bother? How many people were arrested for defecating in public at the Tea Party rallies? How many people were arrested for rape or murder at the Tea Party rallies?  How many Occupy protestors committed crimes? Yet, according to the liberals, it is exactly the opposite.  Here’s the really pathetic part…these morons believe that they have a RIGHT to express these sentiments against conservatives, yet will boldfacedly declare that conservatives do NOT.  I have literally taken the words of liberal bigots, and without informing them what I am going to do, have entered public debates in which I quote them verbatim, excepting the names.  Instead of word for word the way that they originally stated it, I substitute liberal names for those that they attacked in the first place. Try it sometime.  It is hilarious to publicly humiliate someone who has wrongly chosen to believe that they should have some special dispensation because of their beliefs and that they can say it however they wish without consequence.  They absolutely lose their minds in public, screaming “racism” or some other stupid accusation.  What is really hilarious is what happens when the audience hears you quote their original statement and you point out that THEY were the ones who said it, not you.  Every time…every SINGLE time, the stammering begins and finally, they can’t help themselves.  They all end up claiming that it is bigoted when a conservative says it, but completely okay when a liberal says it.  That’s usually when the booing begins.  Folks, there are no facts to support liberalism.  When their lies and hypocrisy are exposed to the light of day, they simply cannot defend themselves.  They can stammer and harrumph all they want, but they simply sound STUPID.  Want to see how offensive Chris Matthew’s words really are? Substitute ANY liberal god or ideal for those terms and watch the screaming, the venom, the hatred begin in earnest.  I no longer try to reason with these people because they will accept ANYTHING from someone on their side.  Conservatives do not afford their own heroes this luxury and they shouldn’t.  Too bad that not even the slightest modicum of restraint or decorum exists on the other side.  Absolutely ANY behavior on their side is okay because even lies or outrageous behaviors make them heroes to their side because they are supporting the cause.  Why do they take this road?  My contention is that it is based on laziness and avarice.  Being a liberal is simply WAY easier. 

So if anyone has anything negative to say about the LDS church (Mormons) we are bigots. Its amazing how some “Christians” are afraid to defend the Word of God because the Mormons are holding up a shield of political correctness. It is the LDS church and its founder that are the bigots beginning with their founder and his words against Christian churches.
Joseph Smith claimed that he had seen both God the Father and Jesus Christ and asked these personages which church he should join. He claimed he was told to join none of them, “for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight” (Joseph Smith History 1:19).When asked “Will all be damned but Mormons?” Smith replied, “Yes, and a great portion of them unless they repent and work righteousness” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg. 119).

If you are a true Christian you should not be either left or Right. Your vote should be for Jesus Christ. Gods Kingdom is the only answer for all of us. The Lords Prayer mentions that  Gods will

Actually a true Christian should neither be left or right.  The UNITED STATES IS ANYTHING BUT UNITED.  The politics of this country and this world has divided and conquered.  If Romney was truly a follower of Christ he would not be running for President. Religion and Politics will never mix sucessfully. The only promises you can count on are from Jesus.

I used to like Chris Matthews a decade ago. He has slipped so far beyond reality and each day he slips further.
