Am I missing something? Are Mormons often called baby
killers? If not, it is not too much of a logical leap
to think that the women was talking about the
candidate's position on abortion. With that context,
I think the comparison you made above is ridiculous,
unless baby killer is an insult often hurled at
Mormons. I think the "baby killer" remark, as
offensive as it is, has nothing to do with Romney's
religion because it is a reference to a political
position held by the individual. And a position that
I believe is inconsistent with the position of most
Mormons.
Would you bleap someone who called Romney that Morman
tax cutter? Or someone that just called him a baby
killer without reference to his religion?
