ABC News: Mormons baptized Obama's deceased mother in June of 2008

[RandySF]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints confirmed Tuesday afternoon that someone improperly, posthumously baptized the late mother of President Obama into the Mormon faith.

Last June 4 — the day after then-Sen. Obama secured enough delegates to win the Democratic presidential nominee — someone had the president’s mother Stanley Ann Dunham, who died in 1995 of cancer, baptized.

On June 11, she received the endowment.

The White House had no comment.

They were thinking that far ahead -- after all, how would it look for him to diss Romney's when it paid such props to his moms?

8. It's bad enough they waste our time knocking on doors, we can't even get away from their bullshit

when we fucking die.

9. I read today that Mitt and Ann participated in baptizing Ann's father

posthumously. He had been an "avowed atheist."

10. Mormons are so weird

and apparently they're ghouls, as well...

pretty pointless posting it now.

15. No. Not it's NOT irrelevant. It's extremely relevant tonight.

Really.. what exactly is your problem with this? They're touting ROmney's mormonism tonight and I think this completely valid to show what type of disgusting shit they do. And apparently the other people on this thread didn't know it, either.

12. Weirdos!

Probably because no one alive wants to hear them proselytize!

13. That's so evil. ABC News? good on ya for mentioning this!!!

NO WONDER President Obama dislikes Romney so much.

14. WTF?? That is too fucking sick for words

[Heywood J]

16. Sadly, I don't expect much other than this from people who wear magical underwear

and believe that they'll become a god with many wives on planet Kolob. Not surprised at all.

I'm also not surprised that the LDS didn't strike this baptism and others as "improper".

17. Has anyone bothered to tell the Evangelical/Fundie/Christian Taliban about this yet?

I do believe it's time to dust off this story, don't you?

18. This is so disgusting

They tried this with Anne Frank, too. Who do they think they are??
