In a bizarre hit piece, the Salt Lake City Tribune http://sltrib.com, a supposed Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints "prophecy" says that a Mormon will ride on a white horse and save the United States constitution.
WOW! I did not know that. I mean, I know a minimal amount about the Mormon faith so I am not an expert. But the fact that the Tribune hit piece did not have any Mormon of seriousness backing this "prophecy." In fact, all went out of their way to question it because that it was "revealed" 10 years after the death of Joseph Smith, the church founder. Yes, Mr. Smith ran for president in 1844, but was lynched shortly thereafter. So, why wait 10 years to prophesy about it?
Most serious churchmen and scholars doubt the validity of the so-called prophecy and thus it is not something talked about.
Also, it should be noted that Salt Lake City is a rarity in today's media world. It is a two newspaper town and the Tribune is the liberal newspaper. The Deseret Morning News is owned the the LDS. Clearly, one can only come to the conclusion that the Tribune is looking to come up with an all but dismissed myth of Mormonism to discredit GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
It is a lousy "story" and meant to make a candidate running for president, Mr. Romney, have to defend his religion. Why do we not see the same stories on Roman Catholic candidates, Rudy Giuliani comes to mind? How about John "F--- You" McCain and the Episcopal Church?
I bring it to you attention to show that the DDBMDM is gunning for Mr. Romney because he is seen as the conservative of the three GOP front runners and they will do all they can to derail that candidacy. So far, they are doing a very bad job and showing their outright bias.
