I was so busy being indignant about Romney's religious bigotry in my previous post, I forgot to express indignance at his racist hypocrisy.
This morning Romney stood at a podium and said, “Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom.â€
FACT: The Mormon church did not allow black people into Mormon temples for services until 1978.
Mitt Romney was 31 years old in 1978.
Before he offers voters any more lectures about the relationship between religion and freedom, he needs to explain why he spent 13 years of his adult life as a member of a racist organization.
