“If I see Harry Reid in the temple, I’m going to hit him.”

A very interesting guest post for LDS blogger Millenial Star reports an incident involving Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a believing Mormon, and  members of an LDS  Stake (collection of congregations) in Nevada.  The dust-up has apparently provoked some of the Church’s liberal minority into speaking up about fellow-believers who put politics over fellowship:

“As soon as word got out that Senator Reid (or might I remind my fellow Latter-day “Saints”, Brother Reid) was speaking in our stake, the e-mails and phone calls began pouring in. Furious complaints about the “political” nature of this presentation. Righteous indignation over the Senator’s politics. Messages, threats, that if he were permitted to speak, members of my church would heckle him from the audience. Would load signs into their pickups with the words “Mormons Against Harry Reid” painted on them, and park the trucks outside the chapel.”
