Sharron Angle pastor: As a Mormon, Harry Reid is cult member
Source: Las Vegas Sun

Sharron Angle’s pastor made incendiary statements about Sen. Harry Reid’s Mormon faith, accusing Reid’s religion of being a cult with “kooky” practices and having “hit squads” that “kill Mormons that go against them,” according to an article in a Reno weekly newspaper published today.

Pastor John Reed of Sonrise Church in Reno, which Angle stated was her church in her official legislative bio, told the Reno News and Review’s Dennis Myers that as Senate majority leader Reid answers to Salt Lake City, where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is headquartered.

Angle spokesman Jarrod Agen issued a statement today saying the Republican candidate has not been a member of Reed's church "for over six years."

"She strongly disavows any disparaging remarks against Mormons. As a Christian, Sharron shares the same values with other active Christians, including those of the Latter Day Saints community," Agen wrote in the statement. "Her former pastor in no way speaks for Sharron."

8. That incendiary remark could tip a few wavering LDS to Reid
Hey, in a close race, we can use more help from folks like the good reverend!

4. Sweet, a quote we can use when Mitt Romney runs for President again
"Even his fellow Republicans acknowledge Mr. Romney's cult status. Is America really ready for a cult member as President?"

6. Not to mention what that implies about Glen Beck
That's the problem when you engage in RW identity politics... there are too many ways to fall into an "other" group.

7. I certainly consider it a cult.
Then again I consider all religions to be dangerous cults. ;)

9. LOL, same here.
Though for some reason I do find myself picking on the newer cults more often. Who knows? Maybe I'm just a fan of tradition or something.

BTW, glad I took the extra 2 seconds to read the fine print on the logo in your signature.

So true.

Obama gets demonized for the actions of people he's associated with by many of the same people that would defend her.

11. That bit about the hit squads is out of date. Way out of date.
Avenging Angels haven't been doing their thing for a long time.

12. LDS is a denomination, which can also properly be called a sect
The Church of Scientology and Alcoholics Anonymous are cults.
