That should be the title of this article, but instead it’s “Restaurant patron criticizes Romney over Mormon faith.”
DOVER, New Hampshire (AP)—Mitt Romney’s visit to New Hampshire started on a sour note Tuesday when a restaurant patron declared he would not vote for the Republican presidential contender because of his faith.
“I’m one person who will not vote for a Mormon,” Al Michaud of Dover shouted at Romney when the former Massachusetts governor approached him inside Harvey’s Bakery. Romney was kicking off the second of two day’s worth of campaign visits in the lead primary state.
One wonders what would happen if this guy had screamed out “I’m one person who will not vote for a Jew” instead.
Anyway, Romney tried to be the nice guy…
Romney kept smiling as he asked, “Can I shake your hand anyway?”
...and the dude threw it right back in his face:
Michaud replied, “No.”
What an ass. But it gets better. Questioned afterward by the press, the twit wanted the world to know that he’s a Hillary Clinton supporter, not one of those hateful right-wingers:
Michaud later told reporters he was not “a right-winger,” alluding to some evangelical Christians who have compared Romney’s faith to a cult. Instead, Michaud stated he was “a liberal.”
He said he planned to vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., should she win the Democratic presidential nomination.
You gotta love those oh-so-tolerant liberals. And the media that covers up for them by calling their bigotry “criticism” instead of, well, bigotry.
