I actually like Mitt Romney very much. I admire his record. He is an impressive man.
But his appearance this morning on the Today show was pathetic. He tried to play vicitm of religious discrimination:

“But I think attacking someone’s religion is really going too far. It’s just not the American way, and I think people will reject that,” Romney told NBC’s “Today” show.

I’m sorry but I am really confused about all of this. Since when is asking a question about someone’s religion attacking it?? This is bizarre.
There are a thousand ways to attack someone’s religion – but asking questions about it is not one of them. If it were then every single person who asks questions about Christianity would be a religious bigot. Romney seems to have forgotten a speech he gave last week lauding American’s religious pluralism… maybe he needs to be reminded that that pluralism doesn’t just apply to him.
