Not all LDS love Hannity

Sean Hannity, ultra right-wing talk show host, will be master of ceremonies at Provo's Freedom Festival on July 3 in LaVell Edwards Stadium on the campus of Brigham Young University.

BYU is owned and controlled by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hannity speaks for 20 hours each week on LDS-owned and controlled KSL radio.

Hannity is a "star" in Utah, and it is obvious that LDS leaders believe that Hannity's words and his manner are appropriate. How can one not conclude that the church endorses this man and his opinions?

Those of us who disagree strongly with Hannity's views and manner and intend to vote Democrat and for Kerry are also patriotic! Many such persons are members of the church, and they are sad and confused regarding the signals their leaders are giving them. I strongly disagree with Hannity's mean-spirited, excessively partisan words and opinions. He is not fair, and he is not balanced.
