Remember how a Mormon Bishop is only like a Pastor?

The idea that Mitt Romney was a high official in the Mormon church was squelched with the observation that a bishop in the LDS church is only equivalent to a christian pastor.

The Mormon equivalent of a Catholic Bishop is a "Stake President."

Okay, fine.

Except in this video Mitt starts out saying that he is an expert on the Mormon religion, having been both a Bishop and a Stake President!

And the last thing I want history recording is that one of the reasons Romney was defeated was because of religious bigotry.

Remember, bigotry is big and heavy and dangerous like a high-powered forklift in a crowded warehouse. Don't play with it, even if you think it isn't bigotry if we hate and harp on someone because of their leave demographics. No, just leave bigotry to the experts. Unless you're a Republican, shut the fuck up about Romney's Mormonism and instead focus your hatred on his economics or his lying or his women-hating policies. You simply lack the skills to handle that dangerous machine.

Besides, one day the Democratic Party may end up nominating a Udall... and then you'll end up looking like an asshole--sort of like the way Dems of today look back on Bull Connors.
