It just doesn’t get more absurd than this. Here is MSNBC’s Martin Bashir calling out Mitt Romney for ‘lies’ that he supposedly told, and using his Mormon faith to repudiate him. Bashir read a few verses that talk about liars deserving hell or something and said Romney can risk that or start telling the truth. But wait until you hear these awful, repulsive lies that Romney told.

The first was something ado about ‘who called who first’, with respect to Romney and Ted Nugent. Apparently Romney is a big fat liar in saying that Nugent contacted him, and must be going to hell because of that.

Then Romney reportedly said that there’s a vast left-wing conspiracy against him in the media, trying to undermine his campaign. Oh yeah, in the media’s eyes, he’s definitely going to hell for calling them out.

And finally, the most egregiously egregious lie of them all was that Romney had the audacity to say that Obama promised that his stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent. Woah, now wait a minute. Have we all been so misguided that in fact he never made this promise? Well, here’s where I have to credit Mediaite’s Noah Rothman, because they did the research on this one and found the truth:

In fact, a search for “8 percent unemployment stimulus” in Google reveals the first three results are from 2012 (WaPo and Politifact respectively) which take Romney to task for claiming Obama said that the stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent.

Somehow, the entire nation and the press was cleverly duped into believing that the Obama administration predicted that the 2009 stimulus funds would keep unemployment at or below 8 percent after the funds were fully spent. True genius.

This from the Washington Post:

Before passage of the stimulus bill, the Obama administration had predicted that unemployment would peak at 8 percent before beginning to abate this fall. But unemployment has already reached 9.4 percent, the highest level in a quarter-century, and the situation is not projected to start improving until long after the White House had predicted.

And the AP:

Just 10 days before taking office, Obama’s top economic advisers released a report predicting unemployment would remain at 8 percent or below through this year if an economic stimulus plan won congressional approval.

There’s more, including a nifty graph published by none other than Christina Romer, the former White House chief Economist, that shows unemployment peaking at, you guessed it, 8 percent. So go read the rest of their analysis.

So Bashir is essentially condemning Romney to Hell via his Mormon faith over the fact that Obama’s lips never publicly muttered that specific promise even though his administration did release the figures.

See, this is why people don’t take jackholes like Martin Bashir seriously, because they themselves are the most egregious of liars and are simply trying to cover for Obama’s bankrupting policies. And as Rothman points out, there is a concerted effort to do exactly what Bashir does here in covering for the president. But no, there is no left-wing conspiracy against him in the media.

Romney isn't Mormon enough

If Doug is a Mormon, evidently, he handles Mitt's support of gay marriage in his actions as governor in MA by denial.

Support of gay "rights" does not translate into support of gay "marriage". I believe that couples, whether they be homo- or hetero-, should be able to visit their partner in hospitals, receive death benefits, etc. But that does not mean they should have a right to marry. Romney does not support gay marriage in any form or fashion.

Bashir was raised in Pakistan by Muslim parents, who immigrated to Britain, and if he now claims to be christian he would be executed for apostasy. He treats all westerners as Dhimmi who live in a conquered land to be ruled by sharia law.

If you doubt what I've written, google him, wiki him and get a feel of his hatred of the west and all christian values. In his faith is is ok to lie to infidels, and he has a national venue to spread his lies to us. Dhimmitude.

Mormonism is a pseudo-Christian cult, it is not Christian, Ray. Joseph Smith heard from an angel fallen from heaven and wrote down what he heard. Galatians 1:8

Bashir does not seem to realize he, like all people (this includes me), is just as worthy of hell as Romney. Romans 3:23, 6:23

The way that leads to life is narrow and few find it: Jesus is the Way and no man comes to the Father but by Him. There is no other Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Matthew 7:14, Acts 4:12, John 14:6

OK - I finally listened to the video and I don't see anything wrong with it.

Bashir is trained in British schools which are strong in logic. He has the US equivalent of a Masters in History and English.

He is calling Romney on his lies, quoting the book of Mormon doctrines, which states the punishment for lying is death in the lake of fire.

Martin Bashir is just telling it as it is according to Mormon beliefs.

Bashir is only pointing out that Romney is not a very good Mormon, nor is he a man of integrity.

Regretfully, Bashir is absolutely correct.

Here is another guy saying Romney is not a good enough Mormon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyolbpbeAMI

Fact is, while Mormons were fighting hard for traditional marriage in California (equally liberal as Massachusetts), Mitt Romney was installing gay marriage *by executive order*, violating the Massachusetts constitution in doing so (another Romney model for Obama's audacity).

Romney's actions are against both Mormon and Biblical Christian doctrine.

Both Romney's and Obama's are counter to the practices, teachings and doctrines of Biblical Christianity and Judaism for thousands of years.

Trust1TG

While Romney's brazen lies on stage, in speeches, interviews and campaign ads are uncountable and a serious matter; his radical social liberalism in his governorship unacceptable and identical to Obama administration policy are unacceptable; it is his corruption in business and his flagrant and prodigious use of billions of taxpayer dollars and his disregard for the income and pension funds of the employees of the businesses he took over that are the most disturbing and intolerable.

Here are two looks at Romney's version of 'capitalism'

A Look at Bain: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-14/politics/30515127_1_mitt-romney-ddi-corp-bain-capital

Rush and Mark Levin are wrong to castigate Newt and Rick Perry for calling Romney's business dealings into question.

All capitalism is not good. Hence Corzine, Madoff, and many other schemers and scammers...who play the system just under the legal radar...and amass huge fortunes on the backs of taxpayers and everyday middle income families.

The businessmen, power-mongers like Soros and politicians who play games with and prey upon the American people, US economic health, security, and stability should be punished by law.

They are committing high treason using US dollars against US citizens.

Mormonism is a valid issue - but not the biggest issue by a long shot.

Romney's lies are many and serious. (He has not repented.)

Romney's unethical campaign tactics are another big issue and were called into question in the 2008 campaign. (He has not repented.)

Romney's radical liberal governorship policies, programs, judicial appointments and actions, including usurpation of power, is identical to Obama's administration are more serious. (He has not repented, but defended them.)

Romney's unethical business dealings and plundering of tax dollars are a bigger issue still. (He has not repented.)

The RNC and DC establishing selecting and promoting such a candidate is the biggest issue before us. They are promoting Romney because they are like him. He plays the game on their terms.

If they will not give us a conservative candidate, political and fiscal accountability, political and government reform...

For the sake of this great nation, we will have to start a new Constitutional Conservative Party and...

Black Liberation theology is not a religion - it's an ideology.

"Barack Obama’s suddenly radioactive pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has defended himself against charges of anti-Americanism and racism by referring to his foundational philosophy, the “black liberation theology” of scholars such as James Cone, who regard Jesus Christ as a “black messiah” and blacks as “the chosen people” who will only accept a god who assists their aim of destroying the “white enemy.”

Unrealistic??? Au contraire, Ms.Contrary.

I didn't write the article, only cited it as a source, one of many that describes "Black Liberation Theology" this way. Anyone can call themselves Reverend - you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. In other words, Wright is a radical that is no more a "reverend" than my dog is. Any so-called "religion" that "will only accept a God who assists their aim of destroying the “white enemy.” is no religion in my books or the books of any Christian; it is an Ideology, one that preaches hate and divisiveness.

So according to you Black Liberation Theology is an ideology. Why then is it not called Black Liberation IDEOLOGY? Why do they call the place where Rev. Jeremiah Wright speaks A CHURCH? Why does "Barak Obama's suddenly radioactive PASTOR" Rev. Jeremiah Wright use the theological title REVEREND? All these theological terms, yet you call it a philosophy and an ideology instead of a religion. Unrealistic of you.

The biblical truth is that every human is hell-bound and nobody is saved from that destination unless the biblical Christ saves him. The Mormon Christ cannot save because he is a false Christ. All men lie, so - if Romney lied in this instance - Romney is simply acting in character. IS Romney hell-bound? He is if his faith is in the demonic devil his religion calls Jesus.

I could only watch about 30 seconds of it. To the part when he talked about Mitt calling Ted first.

Martin....you're an idiot. Have you ever lied? What does your faith say about lying? Do you even have a faith? As one of the chaplins at the church I attend routinely points out

"I'm about 9 for 10 on breaking the 10 commandments. I say 9 because I'm not sure I know how to make a graven image."

Martin, don't try to call people out on their faith when you don't understand how it works. We are all sinners. Sinners by nature. We can't help it. Thats why God sent Jesus as the final sacrifice to atone for all mankinds sins. All you have to do is believe and accept Christ into your life and he will forgive you of your sins when you ask for forgiveness. And you have to continually ask for forgiveness because we continue to sin. You are an idiot Martin. The devil tried to use the bible against Jesus in the desert too.

You are telling me that you have never broken any commandment?? You have NEVER used the Lords name in vain?

If you think you have never broken any of the commandments you need to re-look yourself and probably the commandments you are looking at. Perhaps you are the one who needs to switch churches.

We sin, we all do. We can't help it. Of course when those are broken we sin, but there is atonement through Christ.

When the media makes a big stink like this (Remember the War on Women/Sandra Fluke/Rush Limbaugh deal?) do not let them manipulate your emotions and mind and distract you from the real issues.

The media is a propaganda machine that is paid to plant false ideas through high-resolution sensationalism.

Whenever you see this happening, Stop, Think, Ask yourself - What (ideas, impulses, products, ideas) are the media (Soros) selling, planting in my mind? What are they trying to get us to think or do? Then decide to look up the facts and think for yourself.

Now, about Mormonism, look at the facts:

The most slide-rule careful and thorough examiners of theology and doctrine are the Presbyterians.

Here are their examination of both Mormonism and Mohammedanism:

Presbyterian Statement on Mormonism: http://www.truthandgrace.com/Presbyterianonmormon.htm

Mormon History - http://www.truthandgrace.com/mormonhistory.htm

Examination of Islam - http://www.truthandgrace.com/ISLAM.htm

One of the clearest voices in theology and doctrinal matters is the brilliant theologian, Dr. Albert Mohler. He has published numerous explications linked here: http://www.albertmohler.com/category/topics/mormonism-topics/

Turns out, the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith and his friend, Sydney Rigdon, a de-frocked Baptist minister were also were trying to sell something, a new religion they had made up for profit. Smith was run out of several states and towns, arrested numerous times and finally killed for his fraudulent business and religious scams.

They use Alinsky's rules to call you names if you don't go along with their group-think, their candidate or seek the truth: Hater, bigots, phobe, racist.

Then they go to words for body parts, bodily functions and waste.
