WaPo Attacks Romney for 'Mormon Militia' Action 150 Years Ago

11:00 AM, May 21, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER

Reporting from Carrollton, Arkansas, the Washington Post finds some locals still upset with actions of a "Mormon militia" over 150 years ago. The Post reports:
 
Quote
On Sept. 11, 1857, a wagon train from this part of Arkansas met with a gruesome fate in Utah, where most of the travelers were slaughtered by a Mormon militia in an episode known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Hundreds of the victims’ descendants still populate these hills and commemorate the killings, which they have come to call “the first 9/11.”
 
Many of the locals grew up hearing denunciations of Mormonism from the pulpit on Sundays, and tales of the massacre from older relatives who considered Mormons “evil.”

But the main concern of the paper is ... will this hurt Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney?
 
The article, headlined "Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith tangles with a quirk of Arkansas history," attacks Romney for being a Mormon, because, according to the paper, his coreligionists and ancestors were responsible for "the first 9/11."

AYFKM?  150 YEARS AGO.  Some people, namely the WaPo editorial board, really need to get ****ing lives.

So far, I haven't seen the muslims relenting on their attempts to attack the USA.

Obama was raised a Muslim and Muslims are still killing decent civilized people.  We should hold it against him, right?

Obama's friends set off bombs in the 70s and they're still alive today.

I find it funny that they have to go back 150 YEARS to find something to attack him on. Wow, that is both pathetic and sad. But hey, if that is going to be the case. All blacks should do that same with the Democrats. When was the civil war? 160 years ago?

For a time, it was legal to kill Mormons in MO. 

I guess that means Romney is toast, come November in MO!

The Civil War was 150 years ago.

That would make for an awesome commercial (one of you can screenplay it, I'm not that creative):
"The Democrats would have you believe that Romney is unfit to be President because of a 'massacre' committed by Mormons 150 years ago. 150 years ago, the Democrats went to war against Republican President Abraham Lincoln in order to maintain slavery."
