Fire him now..Boycott the NYT’s.. Isn’t that what the Libby’s would demand if it was a conservative? Liberals are for censorship: Right, Media Mutters – MSNBC.

You are forgiven.
 
Now go forth and obtain real employment and Tweet no more evil..
 
But first say 3 million Hail Marys.

It’s okay. Romney will just convert all your deceased ancestors to Mormonism.

I want to hear more about this magic underwear! Is it lined with viagra?

Just one more example of the Liberal Elite’s disdain towards religion.  The apology was solid, but does not detract from just one more example of the bias his tweet exposes.  

What’s sad is that the Dems will attack Romney’s religion the same way the far right wing evangelicals are attacking Romney’s religion. The comments I read here and other places from so called conservatives disqualify Romney based on his religion. It’s sad and sick but the far out libs and the far out conservatives are equally bigoted and intolerant. Shameful to say the least. Do you hear me Little Ricky?

Too late, Charlie, you just blow!

I shall be boycotting underwear for the remaining election cycle.

I have to wear special clothing when I bring a bottle of wine back into Utah. These clothes are called “bootleggings.”

Now the conservatives and tgaggers are sensitive?  Get over yourselves.  This will not bring Romney enough sympathy votes to win.  He chooses to practice Mormonism.

As the primary season comes to an end later this year the Mormon issue will be come more prevalent especially if Satantorum sees his chances slipping away!

nice how you turned a bigoted comment from a liberal, into a rant about conservatives

Judging by the voting record, I think the DNC and ACORN has converted all my deceased ancestors to liberals.

I think you make my point.  Nothing in my post is a rant.  Rather an observation.  At least we agree to disagree. 

If my post is a rant, you may be a little too sensitive too! Good luck with that!

yeah, not a rant lol….based on fact lol…..i love how liberals justify their bigotry

Is there magic lingerie – *cough* – sorry, temple lingerie too?

magic underware or magic negro?

Shouldnt he be fired like Pat Buchanan? Oh thats right its a liberal attacking religion so its ok. never mind.

Once again we witness the (D)ouble standard when it comes to hurling insults.  A big time leftie throws out a nasty and angry insult directed a millions of people and all that is required is a simple apology on Twitter.
He doesn’t mean a word of it.
His comment was pure hostility and it revealed that he has no problem with bigotry when directed at certain groups.

Finally, a stand up guy…willing to admint a mistake.  Good job, Blow.

One of Joseph Smith’ wives was Victoria.. it’s a secret!

another black bigot that will get a free ride for mocking  religion, of course too much of a coward, like all other libs to mock islam

Blow should go. Now. NYT can’t even pretend that this clown isn’t a bigot.  At least they should move this cretin to the copy room where the the rest of us won’t have to “smell the stink of his ink.”

really????  You are so filled with hate that you can call Mr. Blow a ‘black bigot’ and blame LIBERALS for mocking Islam.  What a fool you are.  But people like Santorum that call OTHER Christians ‘not Christian enough’ does not have to go.  GET OUT OF YOUR BUBBLE.

your post?  a bigoted rant.  

There is no justification – no matter how much you try.  Now, if you were honest, you’d admit that.

Keep your hate to yourself and don’t attempt to dismiss it as “truth”.  Nothing true about it.  

Really rocky – the comments I read here are from our left wing kind hearted souls.  I have not heard the far our conservatives and you’re attempt to put them all in one pot is disingenuous. 

It’s FAR more serious than “magic” underwear. Mormonism is a faith based on magic golden plates no one has ever seen and a magic “seer stone” no one has ever seen, a special Mormon planet named “Kalob” etc, etc.

The Lame Stream Media it too afraid of this cult to educate people about the truth of the Mormon cult. Might as well vote for a Scientologist!

If you are calling my opinion hate then you are SOL because I have an opinion and love to share with those that have a different opinion.

The article states “Mormon men and women wear ‘temple garments’ beneath their clothes as a
reminder of their religious commitments, a rough equivalent of Jews’
yarmulkes or tzitzit.”

I have known several Mormons and was pleased to learn about this “religion”and their beliefs.  As with all “religions” there are some real head scratchers.  This along with the planet after death (which I understand is actually a universe), the role of women, why dark skinned people were cursed, alcohol,  caffeine and many more.

In any case, I enjoy watching the four losers fight for the right to lose to President Obama in November.

No faithful Latter-day Saint in the history of the Church has ever attributed anything magical to the temple garments worn underneath street clothing. They are simply reminders of promises of devotion to God and service to others. No faithful Mormon in the history of the Church has ever attributed anything magical to the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated.

Oh, and by the way, at least 11 people besides Joseph Smith saw and handled the plates. Their names appear in every printed copy of the Book of Mormon issued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Anyone who is not too lazy to open the Book of Mormon itself will see that.

Every single one of the 11 witnesses to the Book of Mormon plates affirmed his testimony to his dying day. Not one of them denied it, and they all had ample opportunity to do so if they chose.

Still waiting for Fatbaugh to apologize for .. well, anything. RW Media get a freaking pass.  Name one right wing media person who’s ever been suspended or apologized for ugly racist behavior. Don’t bother looking .. not a f’ing one.

 If you walk around wearing this to remind you of your commitment  you are opening the door for a lot of scrutiny.

Well, aren’t we the tolerant one. Grow up. Whatever happened to your First Amendment allegiance — only works for YOUR religion? That’s might Christian of you.

…gotta keep up with all those wives somehow.

How’s that first amendment working for you, you racist pig? I guess freedom of religion only pertains to your religion? And when has any right winger EVER apologized for mocking islam or being patently disrespectful to our President and his family.   You all are such hypocrites!

And conservatives are for the breathtakingly stupid notion that liberal criticism and boycotting of services that disseminate viewpoints they disagree with is censorship, while simultaneously claiming that the free market is the panacea to all our ills. I would be violently nauseous on a daily basis if I had to hold two such contradictory ideas in my head at the same time.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson called for the annihilation of a foreign country the other day, with the implication that millions of people would be slaughtered, yet he still has a job. Oh right, his caveat that it wouldn’t really be a good idea because the price of gas would go up.  I guess that makes wishing millions of people could be killed is OK.

Everyone except your of course, some are just not worthy!

He is nothing but a loser racist and a sensitive one at that!

i bet you make fun of the women in burkas and jewish people with the caps

“Libby’s” (BTW, no apostrophe when it’s plural … wondering if you have a HS degree).  When has Fatbaugh EVER, or even Billo or Sean Hannity, EVER apologized for anything? Let me help you out, NEVER! They consistently make homophobic, anti Muslim, racist or racially tinged comments, and you good little Repugs never say a word.   Hell, Franklin Graham hasn’t apologized for his ugly comments either.  Seriously, when has ONE conservative journalist EVER apologized! I’m betting you can’t name ONE!  

My head’s spinning. When has one conservative commentator EVER apologized for ANYTHING! And I wonder if these dopes, including Snaptie, have ever considered that more people in the US agree with you and me, which is why boycotts have worked!!! The ignorance is mind boggling.

That is where you are incorrect, not only will Mitt Romney will the Republican nomination but he will also go on to become the next POTUS. 

ClearThinker, now that is a misnomer if I’ve ever seen one..

cjdohio2 said: “i bet you make fun of the women in burkas and jewish people with the caps”

You got me all wrong but if it makes you feel better. Keep that thought.

So he says it was inappropriate and he regrets it.  Regrets what, that he made an inappropriate remark?  Why inappropriate?  Because it does not reflect his attitude towards Mormons, or because he got caught revealing his true beliefs towards people of other faiths?  I certainly saw nothing that could be construed as an apology to Mr. Romney or Mormons.

 Typical of the right to attack the poster and bring no valid argument.

1.  Romney will never connect with the middle and lower income voters.
2.  He has flipped on so many issues even the conservative Republicans and moderates are not sold on this used car salesman.
3.  The party is already split and when Satantorum or Paul make their 3rd party run it will split the party even more.
4.  Earned or not, President Obama is more electable than any of the so called republicans.

Why do you thing Romney will win?  He is not leading the latest polls for the GOP, how could you possibly think he or any of the candidates and win the general election?

That head-spinning feeling is something like what the cognitive dissonance required to be a typical conservative in the United States must make them go through constantly. No wonder they’re so angry all the time.

 What mistake though?  For making an inappropriate remark?  He clearly revealed his attitude towards Mormons.  He is not apologizing for that.  He only “regrets” making the remark.  He has not apologized to Mormons or Mr. Romney.

OMG I JUST REALIZED I’VE BEEN CENSORING POOR WITTLE kinghusseinodumbo! SORRY DUDE I CAN’T HELP IT I’M A LIBRUL LOL!

Fight the Power, Puter!

Your confidence is misplaced. One of my ancestors, Levi Hancock, claimed that his garments stopped a bullet that would have killed him. In his journal he claims that the bullet bounced off and he picked it up and held it high, thanking God for sparing him.

It’s not a question of whether my ancestor’s account is true, but it is the very thing that you just denied ever having happened. And as one of Joseph Smith’s confidants, Levi Hancock would have been considered a “faithful” Mormon, and he still is.

I see what you did there.

Apropos of nothing, Charles Blow has a very punchable face.

It was inappropriate because it was potentially needlessly hurtful to some readers, so he’s contrite. Who the hell ever apologizes for their true beliefs? That makes no sense. I am sure that’s the way he feels, but he wishes he hadn’t said so on a public forum.

Apparently Adolf Hitler was worthy, so the standards must not be too high.

 First of all, when someone gets fired from a private company for saying/doing something, that is not censorship.  Censorship is when a government official controls speech.  Get your dictionary/thesaurus out before you want to come to the adult’s table.

Secondly, no, not sure when liberals have demanded someone be fired for making a single snarky tweet about someone’s religion.  Not even a glorified cult, with ridiculous ideas like the LDS (which hate to break it to you all, yes, makes people wear special undergarments).

Funniest thing about it is he actually supported Obama, and wrote a piece about it, for saying the same things, back in 2008. Yet he lashes out at Mitt, makes a bigoted remark, and ignores all the facts and statistics in the process. 

http://t.co/nNX8tupN

This seems like a much more purposefully offensive tweet than what Martin tweeted…

blow is a racist period

Yes, this is an example of elitist/liberal attitudes towards religion, but I vividly recall Mike Gallagher, the conservative radio host and Fox News commentator, making an identical comment on his local show in Dallas about four years ago. He apologized the next day, but that’s when I stopped listening.

 a follower like you most likely will start dippin ya pull-ups in holy water now……after all, things you holier than thou conservatives used to think was a little weird has managed to widdle out a little space in your heart

This is no surprise as Charles Blow is an admitted racist and anti-semite.

 well alright…….let the Mormon bashing begin………..then again wingnuts believe the 1st amendment only applys to christian white men

 can you show me where he admitted this?

 Or left office.

More bigotry in this post and the one that follows.  Why do liberals think that Mormons are fair game?

 Fox & Friends: Romney ‘Obviously Not Being A Christian’ Helps Perry Run
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-friends-romney-obviously-not-being-a-christian-helps-perry-run/

Influential evangelical defends Romney, but says Mormonism’s not Christian

Most evangelical Republicans in Florida believe that
Mormons are not Christian, but they also find Mitt Romney an acceptable
nominee for the Republican Party.

Bigot is pretty strong. He just thinks Mormons are silly, from what I can tell. The magic underwear is pretty ridiculous. So are jewish hats o’ humility or muslim veils of shame. It’s all just a bunch of woo woo BS, and mocking it is pretty frivolous. Nevertheless, given his position he shouldn’t have said it.

Because their beliefs are even sillier and transparently based on the woolly imaginings of a con-man than your average Christian sect. They’re almost as funny as Scientologists, but the Xenu story really puts them over the top.

The NYT should take away Charles Blow’s Job.
:-)

I was raised LDS. You’re lying. The garments were specifically referred to as “spiritual armor” by my teachers in the church, along with some remarkable suggestions that, if the faith of the wearer were truly resolute, they might even protect a Saint from physical harm.

The NYT doesn’t have the ethics morals values or character to fire the guy. He’ll probably get a pay raise.

‘The Magic Negro’ was a compliment to Barack Obama; whereas, the ‘magic underwear’, comment was probably stupid

Elitist/liberal attitudes towards religion? Do fundamentalist evangelical ministers like Franklin Graham fall into that category, since he thinks Mormons aren’t real Christians. Or Robert Jeffress. While they’re both elitists, they certainly aren’t liberals.

I do not get it. It is not like he was making fun of Islam.

Numerous studies have shown that liberals are the most bigoted, intolerant, narrow, racist, uncharitable, mean spirited and hateful people.  Thus it is no surprise that a bigoted, intolerant, narrow, racist, uncharitable, mean spirited and hatful person such as Blow would write such a comment.

Still talking about ACORN? Still?!?!

 Bigotry? I make fun of every religion equally.

FYI – He never apologized.  He said it was a mistake, but didn’t say why.  Mistake because it was morally wrong and ugly, or mistake because he got caught?

So I take it you two goofs wanted Lutz head yesterday right?

Still pushing the nonexistent voter fraud claims?

There was nothing morally wrong about his comment.

No, there are no “studies” showing any such thing.

I don’t see anything at all wrong with that tweet.

Speaking the truth is now a putdown- righties are full of shit. Mormonism is crazier than all other religions combined and Catholicism is pretty damn weird.

Hey man, making fun of someone’s religion is A-OKAY! It’s not like he said he had a chink in his armor…….

TerryDoe said “That is where you are incorrect, not only will Mitt Romney will the
Republican nomination but he will also go on to become the next POTUS.”

It would be nice to see one of you Tgagger follow up such a statement with “BECAUSE….” and explain why you think so.

I don’t blame you because I can’t think of one reason why anyone would think that Romney can win the nomination much less the general election.

Tough spot to be in?

Unlike you…

1.  I think free speech covers the tweet.
2.  Any cognitive dissonance arises from the fact that–were this a white reporter tweeting about Islam, Kwanzaa, Whitney Huston, or any sector of the black population–he or she would be looking for another job.

I concur, sir.

Why should he apologize, it’s true they do wear magic, aka, weird & ugly underwear, so no apology needed. 

Love the comments from the mormon underwear defender “jesus lives 33″ here.  Couldn’t get much fouler if he tried.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/556321/

And so he should get a pay raise. He was telling the truth.

 In Oscar spirit   “You can’t handle the truth”..

Here’s the deal. Imagine if Romney were Jewish, wore a yarmulke, and Blow had tweeted, “Let me just tell you this Mitt “Muddle Mouth”: I’m a single parent and
my kids are *amazing*! Stick that up under your magic beanie cap!”

Something tells me the NYT would not accept a simple, “BTW, my tweet of the other day about Jews was inappropriate…”
