By Scott Keyes on May 22, 2013 at 12:01 pm
Birtherism is passe these days, save for a few Onoda-esque holdouts. The new conspiracy, if E.W. Jackson gets his way: Harry Reid is faking his faith.
-snip-
After Beck said he couldnt understand how he and Reid can share the same religion yet have such different policy views, Jackson reasoned that the Senate Majority Leader must not actually believe his faith. I think some of the people who claim to be Mormon or claim to be this or claim to be that, thats all theyre doing. Theyre just claiming, Jackson said. They dont believe it or feel it in their hearts.
BECK: How do you get people who are religious, who are decent people, just completely to divorce themselves of those principles in the voting booth? Its like Harry Reid. Im a Mormon, hes a Mormon. I dont understand, Im sure he doesnt understand me. I dont understand how he can be for the things he is and do some of the things that he does and still say that hes in good standing with the scripture, because it doesnt work.
JACKSON: Theres a saying Ive heard among ministers: some are called and some were sent and some just got up and went. I think some of the people who claim to be Mormon or claim to be this or claim to be that, thats all theyre doing. Theyre just claiming. Its a head thing. Its something they inherited. But they dont believe it or feel it in their hearts.
