Allow me to echo Hugh’s sentiments on that shameful New York Times hit-piece on Mormonism. The sentence that really jumped out at me was “A good Mormon is a busy Mormon.”
If the Times were working with any other minority, there would be literally no way to finish that formulation in an inoffensive manner. Go ahead. Give it a try.
“A good Jew is a _______________ Jew."
“A good African-American is a ____________ African American.”
“A good Latino is a _____________________ Latino.”
“A good woman is a ______________________ woman.”
It’s true that the formulation perhaps presents some politically incorrect comic possibilities, but I don’t think that’s what Times contributor (and Newsweek contributing editor) Kenneth Woodward had in mind. How low can the MSM go? Wait a while – the campaign is still young.
