Beck Acts as a Bridge Between Romney and Evangelical Christians

Mostly Mr. Beck has helped Mr. Romney by directly addressing his devout Mormon faith, something the candidate himself rarely does. “I believe Mr. Romney prays on his knees every day,” Mr. Beck said recently on his radio program. “I believe he is being guided.” He has also said that a Romney victory would be “a sign from God.”

They both are lying sacks of crap, they both have a whole different view of what it takes to be a christian, and they both are crazy as hell, although Beck if probably a lot crazier than Romeny!

What is so ironic is that the majority or those who listen to Beck would never let a Mormon in their house to try and convert them, yet they listen Beck, a very very radical Mormon, and accept everything he tells them. Now if that isn't the most insane thinking process, I don't know what is! Just goes to show how stupid the right wing base really is.

 The reluctance to embrace Mormonism was reflected in a Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life survey, released Jan. 12, that found that about a third of adults in the United States said Mormonism was not a Christian faith and 17 percent said they did not know. Until last month, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s Web site listed Mormonism as a “cult” along with Scientology and Jehovah’s Witnesses. That characterization was taken off the Web site last month around the time that Mr. Graham endorsed Mr. Romney. The Rev. Franklin Graham, chief executive of his father’s association, said the characterization had been added by a staff member and should never have been on the site.

article lists, it doesn't "quote" Graham, and doesn't link to the "quote", I wonder if he ever called it a mistake and "said the characterization had been added by a staff member and should never have been on the site".

I don't think that he did that.
