Harry? Dude? Seriously? You are MORMON, and you're going to turn around and pull this shit? I KNOW you've read church history - Mormons were chased out of New York, Ohio, MASSACRED (literally) in Missouri, had state laws enacted that made it LEGAL to MURDER them and take their property, had their leader cut down, and were eventually chased OUT OF THE COUNTRY, all for their fucking religion, and now YOU are going to open your big stupid mouth and say this stupid shit? Not to mention - YOU'RE FROM NEVADA. Why the fuck are you talking about this ANYWAY? That's like when Jason Chaffetz bitched about gay marriage in DC, and he's from fucking UTAH. It makes you look like an ass.

"The First Amendment protects freedom of religion," said Jim Manley, a Reid spokesman. "Senator Reid respects that, but thinks that the mosque should be built some place else."That kind of sounds like ... "Your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you," sound familiar? Oh yeah, that's right, that's what the PRESIDENT told a Mormon delegation who came ( ... )

I'm telling you - he's running scared from that Angle ladyfriend. She had a big point lead over him until recently when she started opening her mouth and saying stupid things when her handlers weren't paying attention.

I think he's hoping that by saying stuff like this it won't detract from his slight lead. Which sucks.

I'm trying to figure out how the hell he's scared, since every time she talks the only thing that comes out is CrayCray.

He's a moron if he thinks this is going to do anything for him, IMO.

Oh I agree that he's a moron if he thinks that by condemning this it will give him voters. But I think he's thinking that this will prevent Angle from one of those commercials where his face fades into black and then large text saying:

HARRY REID SUPPORTS TERRORISTS BUILDING TERRORIST HOME ON TOP OF GRAVEYARD OF BRAVE AMERICANS FROM 9/11

slowly comes into focus while they play the theme music to The Exorcist.

Great now I have "Tubular Bells" in my head.

Damn YOU MIKE OLDFIElD!

I didn't know Harry Reid was a Mormon

mindrtist August 16 2010, 21:43:27 UTC

I would like to know if he was a Mormon when he was head of the Gaming Commission and reached across the table to strangle a member of the mafioso that was trying to shake him down :)

That made me like him more when I read that.

Seconded. Wtf. This may explain a lot, though, unfortunately.

schonste August 17 2010, 04:38:02 UTC

Me either!!! THis is hilarious news. Whenever someone is Mormon I just laugh.
