I was reading an article today on Mitt Romney and the obsticles that he has to overcome with his presidetial campaign. The reporter included this paragraph:
MORMONS DO NOT PRAY TO JOSEPH SMITH!!!!!
Don't believe everything you read. Rebecca Fater is obviouly an ignorant journalist who doesn't check her facts. Anyone who wants to point out her ignorance can email her at [email protected]. I already sent one off.
She also said that "Mormonism states that aborting a fetus at any time is wrong." This is also false. Mormonism states that in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger that she can make the decision for herself.

Is the Lowell Sun a Newspaper or a Tabloid?
What the hell?!? In an article where she's trying to demonstrate how people are ignorant of Mormonism, she makes the most ignorant mistake I have ever seen a journalist make."I think it's the biggest stumbling block of his candidacy," said Matt Barron, a political analyst. "(Southern, right-wing Christians) freak out at Mormonism. It conjures up so many horrible and evil things to them, fairly or unfairly."
Those "horrible" things include the fact that Mormons pray to their founder, Joseph Smith -- a human -- rather than the spiritual Jesus that Catholics and Protestants hold at the center of their worship. There's also the unusual strictness with which Mormons abstain from drinks containing caffeine or alcohol, and the fact that Mormons wear garments under their clothes as a continuous reminder of faith.
