Fischer: A Mormon President Threatens the "Spiritual Health" of the Nation

Ever since Mitt Romney called out(link is external) Bryan Fischer for his relentless bigotry at the Values Voter Summit, Fischer has been on a mission to ensure that Romney does not win(link is external) the Republican nomination and has been increasingly willing to attack(link is external) Romney's(link is external) Mormon(link is external) faith(link is external) as part of this effort.

Yesterday, Fischer ramped it up a notch, declaring on his radio program(link is external) that having a believer in a false religion in Mormonism inhabiting the White House would be a threat to the spiritual health of this nation(link is external):

[Mormonism] is not a Christian faith. It is, as Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas says, a false religion. So it's kind of a striking things and I know it concerns a number of spiritual leaders, and I count myself among them, is what this would mean for the spiritual health of the United States of America is a worshiper of a false god occupied the White House. You know, what that would mean for the spiritual future of America and what it might reveal about the spiritual weakness of America if the American people, particularly the so-called conservatives, the people of faith in America, would promote someone to the highest office in the land who is a follower of a counterfeit faith, a false religion.
