One more point.
If Mitt Romney were a Branch Davidian, who beleived that the leaders of his chuch should practice polygamy with teenage girls because God said so, you would not call people who thought that was stupid, "bigots". You'd agree with them.
If Mitt Romney were a member of the Christian Identity Movement, which held non-whites were accursed by God, you wouldn't call for a respect for those beliefs, either.
Of course, Mormons have both the polygamy and the racism in their history. They have it locked away in a closet like a crazy uncle, but it's in their history and beliefs...
So, um, sorry, man, just because you hide your crazy beliefs, it isn't bigotry for me to point them out.
