DES MOINES, Iowa - Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee personally apologized to rival Mitt Romney previously about a disparaging remark Huckabee made about Romney's Mormon religion. But Huckabee's Web site continues to host comments posted by supporters blasting the Mormon faith.

Some blog posts were littered with rhetoric about Mormonism. "As evangelicals, we cannot stand for this Mormon garbage to get into office," wrote Chase Colasurdo. "They even believe Jesus and Satan were brothers. My vote is God's vote, Huckabee 08."

Huckabee himself raised the question of whether Mormons believed that Jesus and Satan were brothers in an interview with the New York Times magazine, but later apologized for using those words. "I said, I would never try, ever to try to somehow pick out some point of your faith and make it an issue, and I wouldn't," Huckabee said at the time.

On Dec. 12, in response to such questions, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement: "Like other Christians, we believe Jesus is the divine Son of God. Satan is a fallen angel. As the Apostle Paul wrote, God is the Father of all. That means that all beings were created by God and are His spirit children. Christ, however, was the only begotten in the flesh, and we worship Him as the Son of God and the Savior of mankind."
