Better duck - if you're a Mormon

I missed the memo that said it's A-OK to make disparaging and often erroneous statements about Mormons.

Apparently, they are fair game.

Sure, these are hypersensitive times, when name-calling or perceived

bias against any group will get you the Don Imus treatment, but you get

a free shot with Mormons. You can say what you want about them with

impunity.

If you denigrate a racial group, you're racist.

If you denigrate women, you're sexist.

If you denigrate Mormons, you're hip.

No one would openly suggest that you shouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton

because a woman can't lead the country, especially an ornery one.

Nobody would dare say that you shouldn't vote for Barack Hussein Obama

because he's black, or of Muslim descent, or because he has a name that

sounds like a terrorist. One Clinton worker even apologized for

alluding to Obama's use of drugs as a youth, so apparently it's wrong

to disparage former drug users, too.

But nobody is shy about saying you shouldn't vote for Romney simply

because he's a Mormon. It doesn't even register on the PC-O-Meter.

Just like that, 6 million Americans have been virtually disqualified

from running for president. They've been rendered second-class

citizens. They're foreigners living in America. They face a glass

How un-American is that?

It would be one thing if most of
