Sharon Angle's Pastor Lashes out on Mormons--could this help Reid gain conservative Mormons?

Harry Reid and Sharron Angle had their first and only public debate this week.  When asked to chose one word to describe their competition each chose words they felt would improve their chances of winning office. Angle called Reid an "elite" and Reid chose the word "extreme" to describe Angle.

More recently Angle's Pastor has lashed out on Mormons calling them a cult and saying their leadership hires "assassins" to get rid of unwanted leaders or people around the world.

This poses a sticky issues for Conservative Mormons--do they support the conservative who has ties to an anti-Mormon pastor or a good standing Mormon who has different political views.

Michael Otterson Voices Church's Response to HRC's Petition

Michael Otterson delivers Church's response to the Human Rights Corp activists group.  The HRC group gathered over 150,000 signatures and condemned the Church of prejudice etc.  I was very impressed with the Church's response.  It was very thoughtful, and very professional.  The Church condemns any actions to belittle or judge others that are different from most Church members.  The Church encourages its members to obey Christ's second great commandment to love one another.  It's not a sin to have feelings, only to yield to temptation.  Their struggle is our struggle.  Happiness in this life can be found by all.

The Huffington Post--exagerrates Beck commentary

It's almost like The Huffington Post wants to create their own conspiracy theory of Glenn Beck and Mormons while criticising Beck and his theories at the same time.

This article show cases the White House Prophesy.  Joseph Smith has been credited with making a prosphecy that the Constitution will hang by a thread and the Elders of Israel will come to rescue and save the nation.
