I'm Offended Anyway (But Nobody Cares If I'M Offended)

Sill more fun with The Washington Post, this time over a recently released video of Romney discussing his cult's beliefs. (I've posted a longer version of it, but this new one's just the meat.) One thing that's missing from the Post's article - and which shows how lame reporters are at covering "spiritual" concerns - is any mention of Mitt's again citing that "brilliant man" The National Review called an "all-around nutjob," W. Cleon Skousen. (Mitt mentions him at the 1:30 mark.) Don't forget who Cleon Skousen is:

A historian accused of racist revisionism, and a right-wing conspiracy theorist. He contended that the Founding Fathers were direct descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, claimed that a global cabal of bankers controlled the world from behind the scenes, and wrote a book that referred to the "blessings of slavery."

How nice. He gets my vote! And let's also not forget that - as Mitt argues, since he's a Mormon Bishop, he understands his "faith" better than anyone else - he's already denied the revelations his church is based on are true. (See above.) So - following Mitt's logic - the whole Mormon deal's a fraud. Or a scam - your pick - since he's so aware of what he's doing and does it anyway. (Notice when he says he doesn't take any of it seriously - even to the face of someone who does? Some Bishop.) And there's one more thing - do you notice how, even when faced with someone who agrees with Mormonism, Romney claims the questioner is attempting to "go after my church"? It reminds me of Brandon Flowers' reaction when faced with Richard Dawkins:
 

"I'm offended." In true NewAge fashion, Mormons are always offended - especially by facts and those who hold to them. A trait which conservatives find disgusting - in liberals - but are lining up to endorse in their choice of presidential candidate. Serious question:

Considering the level of hypocrisy and lies flying around, can I be offended now, too?

ADDED: I see Glenn Beck has been answering questions for evangelicals, explaining "the 'magic underwear' was compared to a skullcap" and whatnot. I just have one question - not for Beck but for those evangelicals:

You ever heard a Jew claim his skullcap can stop bullets?
