The last acceptable bigotry?

Because they can't bring themselves to say, "Obama's voter registration drives in black churches increased voter turnout among black fundamentalists, who voted for Obama and against gay marriage", it's now all the fault of the Mormons.

"Gay people have every right to regard the Mormon church hierarchy as a mortal enemy. If they knock on my door any time soon, they will get an earful."

Is that "knock on my door" reference any less offensive than any other religious or ethnic stereotype?

And, is this weekend really the time to start a campaign to economically injure any religious community because you disagree with their politics? There was another country, in which they set out to destroy the economic well being of another religious minority, also for supposed political crimes . . .
