Here's a 1967 Flashback: "Gov. Romney Would Quit Church For Social Justice"
By Louise
Here's a 1967 Flashback: ‘Gov. Romney Would Quit Church For Social Justice’. Faux News Mormon Glenn Beck warned his listeners to “run as fast as you can” if their church preached “social justice,” claiming it is a “perversion of the Gospel.” In 1967, Michigan Gov. George Romney — father of Mitt — was the most prominent Mormon politician in the land, seeking the Republican nomination for president. Gov. George Romney, back in 1967, considered social justice a core tenet of his faith. That year, Michigan Gov. George Romney said he would leave his church if it ever tried to prevent him from working for the elimination of social injustices and racial discrimination. Of course that was back in the days of rational Republicans.
In Strange News...Birthers Beware! Hawaii may start ignoring your repeated attempts for proof that President Barack Obama was born here. As the state is overwhelmed by e-mails seeking Obama's birth certificate, the state House Judiciary Committee heard a bill Tuesday permitting government officials to ignore people who won't give up.

And lo Jesus saith verily "the rich and powerful are the chosen few and if you ain't them well f@^% you".

The truly bizarre thing about the whole 'birther' movement: it is an established fact that McCain was born outside the United States.
I don't believe the 'birther' myth about Obama but by their logic Ralph Nader should be President now... Rofl

Exactly, and Thom just lives in his dream world devoid of reality as his minions scurry around to protect him from the truth. Just on Thom’s there is a couple of lies pointed out and of course the usual suspects {rodeo clowns} had to pop out at: http://www.thomhartmann.com/board/./viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4000

Hey Thom, your NLP is quite blatant here as you somehow felt it important to add the adjective of “Mormon”. Well I suggest that if you want to add adjectives to people’s names then add “BLT believer” to Obama as in a counter argument: Barack Obama’s Black Liberation Theology
As far as “Faux news”, you certainly are one to throw rocks, right Thom?
Barack Obama’s Black Liberation Theology
PS: SueN, bored yet??? Why not discuss the issues and not the personalities????

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Thom,
Your report is incomplete, misleading, and, therefore, a lie. Here's what he actually said: "Leave your church" if it "starts to preach social and economic justice, especially through the structure of a giant government." He said "Social justice and economic justice are code words." He was "referring to Jeremiah right's type church, a Black Liberation Theology or Marxism or church that's turned into a political arm." He agreed with the idea "that Christians should not merely give to the poor but also work to correct unjust conditions that keep people poor." He said this is what Jesus taught. And he said "Go find another parish", not another church, and "Go alert your bishop."
You can read his complete remarks at http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/37852/ I marvel at the ability liberals have to be consistently wrong.
