Lynne Cheney Defends Romney, Blasts Anti-Mormon Bias
Mitt Romney has a new defender against anti-Mormon bias: Lynne Cheney, herself the daughter of disgruntled ex-Mormons.
"I have been really astounded by the ferocity of some of the statements that people I would not expect to make have made about Mormonism," Mrs. Cheney said in an interview with Bill Sammon.
"It surprises me because it wasn't that way when his father ran," she added. "So I think we need to kind of say take a deep breath here. This is a country where people have the right to worship freely."
Interestingly, Cheney cited the liberal Slate online magazine for anti-Mormon writings — but not the actual anti-Mormon reception Mitt has received from some conservatives in South Carolina, a key primary state where he's still stalled in the polls.
WTF? I didn't know Dick Cheney was raised Mormon...

Sorry, I misread, Lynne Cheney was raised a Mormon, not Mary Cheney.

I wonder what Lynne thinks about Dan Bartlett's comments yesterday.

Yes, who could have ever predicted that Republicans would start a smear campaign based on religion?

Lynne Cheney was not raised as a Mormon. Her parents left LDS and sent her to a Presbyterian church.

Why it's as if they are prejudiced!

It isn't at all surprising (or really even "interesting") that she would slam Slate for writing about the issue as opposed to repugs who actually sustain it. 'Kill the messenger', indeed.
Goopers, and especially Lynne Cheney, are ALL about hypocrisy

Well, Ms. Cheney's "rope has slipped her pulley" anyway. . . . .
ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY who thinks Dick Cheney is one of the "warmest, most thoughtful, kindest" people in this country has some serious "evaluation short-circuits"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
