BillO gets the Bronze on Thursday's Worst Person in the World segment on Countdown, for being angry that White House Press Secretaries and President Bush don't get angrier at the "Bush Lied Crowd." The Silver goes to Time Magazine's Joe Klein for calling Bush's lies about the NIE report on Iran "an amazing moment of candor by the United States," and the Gold went to CNN's Glenn Beck.

Beck, who is a Mormon, said "who cares" in reference to Mitt Romney's speech today on his faith -- after asking Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, a Muslim, to assure him that he doesn't work with our enemies, and questioning the impact of Joe Lieberman's Jewish faith were he to be president.

Glenn Beck is a Mormon? I had no idea. He is a recovering alcholic, a fact he mentioned on his radio show several times.

In his over-hyped address Thursday on "Faith in America," GOP White House hopeful Mitt Romney sought to disarm evangelicals' fears about the role of his Mormon faith. But while he likely failed in that task, Romney assuredly succeeded in redefining the U.S. Constitution's ban on religious tests for political office. According to Romney's notion of public service, Muslims and atheists need not apply.

For the details, see:
"Mitt Romney Creates His Own Religious Test."

Glen Beck/Mitt Romney both mormons, both adhere too a religion based on a mythical goldern tablet found in american forest in 1800's, and until recently barred blacks from being in their church due too they considered them marked with the "mark of cain", only when sued in federal court did they relent and change their racism policy, if their underground/secretive poligamy members was not enough too make them strange, but the racism of the mormon church explains Glen Becks racism, makes sense a obvious racist as Glen Beck is, who often jokes at being callled a racist would be a member of a church which practiced racism in their church policies.., Mitt Romney has as much chance of winning in a national election as a snow ball in hades, he is hiding and dodging his faiths doctrine because he knows it is so far outside main stream christianity, it is viewed as a cult, the old saying birds of a feather do flock together so its no surprise Beck defends his buddy and fellow mormon Romney, but one good thing about the situation, people are so sick of republican rhetoric this just ads fuel too the fire..., republicans have no viable candidate too run in 2008, all have baggage, and or flip floppers as with Guiliani, Huckabee, Romney, Thompson, Mcain, the only one with any real sense is made fun of by the ruling elite who run the republican party, Ron Paul, funny he out does Thompson [the great white hope], Mcain in both polls and donations..., so truly Romney will be a gift horse for us democrats, I truly hope he wins the republican nomination, then anyone could get elected as long as they do not have republican attached to their name...

That man is worse than a waste of space. He's figured out how you can sound like a KKK Grand Wizard on national TV by just saying it in an annoyingly quirky voice. Cause anybody who sounds like they're joking that much couldn't really be a bigoted, hypocritical asshat, right?

I went to grad school with a Mormon and I currently work with one. I can't say there are any horror stories. They are actually both very friend and were/are always happy. They both work really hard and excel in most everything they do. They do treat their respective wives rather subserviently, but their wives never appear unhappy and are quite accepting of their role.

Oh come on! Those operational principles can be used to describe nearly ALL large organized religions. Mormonism is picked on now because of how young it is. Why are their myths and stories any less believable then a talking snake, spontaneous conception, walking on water, elephant headed gods with multiple arms, etc?

Sad to say, but I have met many jerks like Beck,O'Reilly, Hannity. No talents who believe they are always correct and anyone different (or different looking) isn't just wrong, they're stupid. These are normally just average guys (at best) who think(regardless how bad they look) the hottest girl wants them, no one else's opinion matter , and we all wish we were them. The truth is these people are so plain and boring that they must say outrageously racy crap or else no one would notice them. I hope this is just a fad.

Oh no, no, no, no...no fair. You need to experience total immersion in their society to truly understand what they're about. You might as well have told us what a great couple Marie and Donny are.

Is being a moron a prerequisite for being a Mormon?

And if Romney's faith is not an issue, Beck owes Keith Ellison an apology for confusing Muslim with Al Queada or the Nation of Islam.

He has zero ratings - who the hell is watching this guy on CNN? Or Tucker, for that matter?

Yes that is what Mormon's believe (in a way), I DID read Under the Banner of Heaven, and no, I am not Mormon. Like I said, how is that kind of a belief any different than the myths of Hinduism (reincarnation, and spiritual realms with multiple gods), Judaism (a man parting the Red Sea), or Christianity (emaculate conception and walking on water)? So basically, you completely avoided answering my question. Hmmm... I guess some troll can't handle admitting when they're wrong.

With Limbaugh that works because he craves being taken seriously, but I kind of feel that being "quasi-satirical" is Beck's fall back. If he says something too outrageous then obviously he was just joking. It's more we should stop laughing with him and get angry when he says these things, but not let him jump on his fallback ever.

ALL religions are essentially cults, based upon fantastic myths. People choose to believe all this stuff because: a) they are indoctrinated as small children and don't learn any better later in life; and b) they live in Fear and cannot be responsible for their own lives. As we have seen throuhg history, though, is always comes down to
"my God's better than your God; our book's better than your book."

The religious bigots bashing Mormons here ought to remember that we bash Republicans for their stance towards Muslims and other races, and you wouldn't want to be accused of being hypocrites now would you? Democrats supposedly have a 'big tent' policy, and one that emphases understanding rather than vitrol. Grow up people.

Agreed. I live in Idaho, which is almost as conservative and Mormom as Utah.
I consider myself liberal and progressive. Most of the liberals/progressives I associate with are actually Mormons. It's just like any other faith ie. Jewish (see Joe Lieberman/Jon Stewart) Catholics (That Donohue Douche/Stephen Colbert) Muslims (Reza Aslan/Mahmoud Ahmadinejad)etc. You have your left thinkers, who see the humanist inspiration in all religions, and right wing fascists, who think that since their religion is right, they're superior and everyone else can and is going to hell. I'd be willing to bet most people bashing Mormons on this thread for the sake of being Mormon (their beliefs as opposed to other religions) are believers in their own religion. Bash on Romney and Beck for what their political beliefs are. Those are what matter anyway. Few of you threw a fit when Harry Reid came to office, because for the most part Harry Reid is pretty progressive. And so is Rocky Anderson, the Mayor of SLC of all places. (Yes, I know Rocky isn't a practicing Mormon. The city voted him in anyway.) You see my point.
