..take a look at this frightening video from the McLaughlin group. Lawrence O’Donnell describes himself as a “practical European socialist.” He plays a character on “Big Love.” He completely lost it when describing Mormonism, saying it is a “racist religion” and claiming incorrectly that Joseph Smith was “pro-slavery.” The bile and hatred coming from this character has to be seen to be believed. He made Pat Buchanan (an embarrassment to conservatism) seem sane in comparison. Not everybody on the left hates us as much as this guy: Eleanor Clift made encouraging comments, and there is a long line of liberals who have commented favorably about the Church in the last week.
