Mormons did not steal your rights

From my friend Jason on the anti-Christian bigotry, especially anti-Mormon: Mormons did not steal your rights.com

Jason:
If you have been reading the news you have no doubt heard the stories about members of the LDS faith being targeted for speaking out on issue that is important to them and their families. This targeting has involved blacklisting, public demonstrations in hopes to shut down LDS places of worship, boycotts and public intimidation of small players and contributers to prop 8, death threats and more.

You may not agree with Prop 8 or LDS theology, but surely we can agree that the initmidating and the supressing of free speech does nothing to enhance our nation and our democracy. And surely you can recognize that the targeting of one religous group in a broad coalition of people amounts to the same intolerance, bigotry and hate that "No on Prop 8" protesters supposedly despise so much and are "rallying" against.
