Quote from mrbill:
Found the link in the LA Times, go ahead and bash them I guess. It's not so much that he comes off as Racist, it's just that he hasn't come out and gone against the Mormon view of Blacks. So easy to do, just like the good Republicans have come out against Birthers.
What mormon view against blacks? Do you realise that one of the stars of the republican convention is a BLACK FEMALE MORMON from Utah?
That sort of shits all over your false "war on women, war on minorities b.s." So i doubt you heard anything about it from the clowns down at MSNBC.
I say if the standard we are going to hold Romney to is that he must denounce stuff that happened within his church 6 decades ago, then all democrats/liberals should have to come out denouncing their past in the k.k.k. and their hard fought battle against the civil rights act.
Utahâs Mia Love Gets Enthusiastic Reception in Tampa
Enter Mia Love, the 36-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants and a Republican congressional candidate in Utah. Should she win, she would be the first-ever black Republican woman to win a seat in Congress.
In a speech that drew sustained applause at the GOP convention Tuesday night, Ms. Love recounted her parentsâ journey to the U.S., saying they arrived with only $10 in their pockets.
âThe America I grew up knowing was centered in self-reliance and filled with the possibilities of living the American dream,â said Ms. Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah.
She made apparent references to civil-rights icons Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. âOur story has been told over 200 years, with small steps and giant leaps, from a woman on a bus to a man with a dream,â she said.
Ms. Love, a staunch conservative who converted to Mormonism, is challenging Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson, a six-term incumbent. Cook Political Report rates the race a tossup, and Ms. Loveâs exposure on Tuesday night could give her a boost.
