“Hulk SMASH!!!” or go home

Posted on May 16, 2007 by B Psycho

Andrew Sullivan, re: Al Sharpton’s crack on Mitt Romney’s religion: I agree that Sharpton’s tone and remarks were bigoted; I certainly defend the right of Mormons to run for any public office without their faith being used against them. But … Continue reading →
