    Sharpton Denies Disputing Romney's Faith
    By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer
    4 hours ago
    BOSTON - The Rev. Al Sharpton, who recently urged that radio host Don Imus be fired for making a racially insensitive remark, said in a debate that "those of us who believe in God" will defeat Republican Mitt Romney for the White House. But Sharpton denied he was questioning the Mormon's own belief in God.
    Rather, the New York Democrat said he was contrasting himself with Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author he was debating at the time.
    "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation," Sharpton said Monday during a debate with Hitchens at the New York Public Library's Beaux-Arts headquarters.
    The comment was first reported Tuesday in a blog on The New York Times's Web site.
    The Romney campaign, which has been wary of campaign trail criticism of Romney's faith, jumped on the Sharpton comment. If elected, Romney would be the first Mormon to serve as president.
    "It is terribly disheartening and disappointing to hear Reverend Sharpton offer such appalling comments about a fellow American's faith," said Romney spokesman Kevin Madden. "America is a nation of many faiths and common values, and bigotry toward anyone because of their beliefs is unacceptable."
    Romney himself said Monday during an appearance on Fox News program "Hannity and Colmes": "I think there are differences between different faiths in this country. And there will be battles between different religions. ... That's a great thing about this country. We don't decide who's going to be in office based on what church they go to."
    In a tape of the debate, Sharpton can be heard defending the role of religion in the civil rights movement and shunning any suggestion that there wasn't a religious underpinning to the efforts of its leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
    Then Sharpton spoke of Romney, although a tape reviewed by The Associated Press does not reveal why.
    In a later interview with the AP, Sharpton denied questioning Romney's belief in God and suggested the Romney camp was trying to stir up a controversy because of their political differences.
    "What I said was that we would defeat him, meaning as a Republican," Sharpton said. "A Mormon, by definition, believes in God. They don't believe in God the way I do, but by definition, they believe in God."
    He said he was contrasting himself and other believers with Hitchens, who is the author of a new book, "God Is Not Great."
    Last month, Sharpton led the calls for Imus' ouster last month after the talk show host referred to members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."

    I have nothing against Mormons, and I might vote for Romney based on his policies
    BUT
    at some point some reporter is going to ask him if he believes that a spaceship is going to take him to rule another planet. Should be interesting.

    Jessie and Al make themselves look bad. They don't have enough power to make a whole race of people look bad. I highly doubt that they speak for the entire African American race or even a large fraction of it. Thats kinda like saying that Al Gore makes all white people look bad. No, he just makes himself look like an ass.
    People are judged individualy. If I judged you by the actions and beliefs of Al and Jessie I would be no better than them.
    Word up
