The guy's gotta be some ex-mo sock-puppet. Although i can't imagine someone carrying on the charade for as long as he has.
There's just no other explanation though.

I don't know...while the remark is on the nutjob end of the spectrum, I wonder if there isn't a contingent of contemporary Mormons who do actually think like this. The myth of persecuted innocence is certainly alive and well and there are many ways the 'we're like the jews' notion is encouraged and reinforced...

Listening to how the LDS were persecuted for how many years before this, having things like Haun's mill in recent memory and Boggs extermination order put forth, (not knowing how it would feel to be a modern day Jew in Germany) what kind of state of mind were they in?
Knowing that the Government was sending a malitia to our state? I
I am a jew of the 21st century. Decades have been spent in building up hostility towards my people and my religion. What is next on the agenda? Just ready your history books.

LOL, what a dumbass! A modern day Jew in Germany is just either a German citizen, a German national, or non-German citizen. I am of Jewish heritage, not to mention black, and I lived in Germany for two years. I STILL wanna go back, that was one of the most beautiful times of my life.
Hammer is just that...hammered. Take it from Whitney, crack is whack.

We have had it prophesied that we would be going back to Missouri under the same conditions as we left. There is probably going to be a war with the Mormon's again.
I think of Irland when I see our future. Christians vs The Mormons.

This is an even more extreme Hammer than I recall seeing previously.
I've heard that snorting things you find under your kitchen sink will do that to you.

What's amusing about this is that, If I recall correctly, DCP commented on part 2 that there is a concern with Mormons being TOO well liked, TOO mainstream, not "other" enough.
Yet some kooks insist Mormons are one sneeze away from death camps.

We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Those who have never known persecution (and I include myself in this description) can throw the word around without knowing what they are talking about.

I used to go to school each day with people throwing trash at me on the bus. I caught hell growing up, but I don't think that I could call myself a neo-holocaust victim.
Seriously, they should post on FAIR a warning about sniffing the contents of what's under your kitchen sink, the results are really devastating and sad to see.

On my Mission I had people throw rocks at me and pull guns on me and was beaten up once (while my companion ran away).
I know this was nothing compared to what my ancestors went through in Missouri (I've read their journals) and there are other groups who have experienced much more. While persecution can spike up at an incredible rate (i.e. Jews in Germany in the 30's) and I can see Mormons becoming pariahs in the space of a few years under the right circumstances I don't see it happening now.
