Walmart's problem is that if there is something negative he looks to the messenger instead of the incident. The missionaries getting the s*** kicked out of them was an incident that actually happened. the press didn't initiate the attack, THE MISSIONARIES DID!

Walmart's attitude is typical among those with a persecution complex. the church and the dictatorship the paper was reporting on is not the issue. WTF why me?

why me wrote:Yes siree... AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL THE LAND OF THE FREE........and to think that American papers printed such hatred. Now I can understand the plight of the early Mormons as they were persecuted by mobs of intolerant people worked up by such papers as presented here. Thanks for the headsup...I learned a lot about the bravery of the early frontier saints. And I can also understand Joseph Smith destroying that newspaper for printing similiar vileness.


So tell us, why me: Which parts of that article were factually incorrect?
