Mormon Mitt has had religious problems with blacks (someone direct me to where Mitt responds to Mormons only recognizing blacks in the 1970s, please), and so does Holy Huckabee:
In the end, as Gov. Huckabee may or may not recall, the 101st Airborne Division, most of them "outsiders" not from Arkansas, had to be sent by a Republican president to integrate the schools of Little Rock. That was a lot of trouble and expense that the big-mouth rednecks put us all to, but it was worth it.
Mormon Mitt and Holy Huckabee might make a good President/V.P. combo. And I've never had fried squirrel.

I haven't the faintest what the Mormons did or did not do in the 1970's -- but, whatever they did, does it mean that a Mormon in 2008 is ipso facto a second class citizen? I don't follow that logic. I for one judge each man individually, I don't go for guilt by association.
And, by the way, if we are to pick on Huckabee's and Romney's real or imaginary sins when it comes to religion, how 'bout the man the press swoons all over, Obama. His minister, right now (not some 30-40 years ago), shills for Louis Farakkhan. Somehow, I haven't heard much of a hue and a cry and about that.
In regards to Holy Huckabee, it was my understanding that "fish" was both singular and plural? Then again, grammatical rules might be different in Arkansas than the rest of the English-speaking world, yes?
As for Mormon Mitt: it was the late-1970s, AI, 1978 to be exact, when the Mormons finally recognized blacks, and allowed them to enroll in their church.
Here's the religious racism, front and center. Read it and comment if you'd like.
At least say this was a long, overdue policy change on the part of the Church of J.C. of Latter Day Saints. Note that women are still not allowed an equal position as men in that Church (has Coulter remarked on this? I don't follow her Nazism close enough to know). A person can say this and still support Mitt. Wiggling is for the Limbaughs and Michael Moores of the world.
You're right: Obama would be wise to denounce Farakkhan's support to the same tune that any responsible candidate should denounce David Duke's support.
Now back to Mormon Mitt.
As I said, it's a rather weird religion -- guy named Smith is their apostle, or something? And it looks like they had some kind of self-imposed theological problem that prohibited them from ordaining blacks (though they would admit them into their church) -- something to do with Cain. Not good, and they got over it in 1978 -- good. Why put the mark of Cain now on Mitt's head? C'mon, let's be fair, shall we? There's enough to criticize him about (I'm not at all a rah-rah supporter of his, just trying to give him a fair shake around here), without pinning his tail for this.
Okay. Finally got you to put something down about it. I'm just going for intellectual honesty, AI, something that has been increasingly lacking in the Capital (New York City or D.C.) since the founding of our Republic. That's all.
What's all this stuff about Cain? Are Mormons a non-Abelian group?
