Soxblog.com's Dean Barnett comments on a recent speech delivered by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (see Romney profile here) that "triggered a spasm of activity from America's grievance industry," including "the tolerant progressives at the Daily Kos."

Appalled by Romney's insensitivity to those of another faith, Kos diarist "Skralyx" observed, "Actually, Mormonism strikes many as a sort of deviant faith, so maybe Mitt himself should be hooked up to a surveillance device." "Skralyx" was done one better by commenter "Brother Dave" who broke it down into a mathematical proof:

Romney = Mormon
Mormon = Rascist [sic]
Mormon = Fascist
Mormon = Republican
The math was never simpler.
