Brian Schweitzer continues to be awesome

[tpfkaw]

Who attacked anyone's faith? He merely explained why his father being born in Mexico probably won't be used by the Romney campaign to gain support among Hispanics.

Actually, he did go into a little rant after that about how "polygamy" is far less accepted than "Mormonism" by the swing voter.
And of course, you'll find polygamy in the family history of many Mormons and all the Mormon gentry.

He's just analyzing the election.

Besides, weren't some of Obama's Kenyan ancestors polygamists?

His father was a polygamist.

And honestly, whatever my fellow liberals/moderates/etc say about my faith can never be as vicious as the religious right, since not only do the religious right say the same thing, but their theological ancestors (i.e, the fundamentalist preachers in the mid 1800s) are the ones who drove Mormons out to Utah in the first place. So it's not that offensive to me, as a Mormon progressive.

Uh, no, it's the Brian Schweitzers of the world whose actual biological ancestors did that, and Methodists and Baptists are not the same thing.
