I agree. I really don't see any basis for comparison at all. Perhaps if he called Romney a honky white cracker or something. Otherwise, Romney is a Mormon and Sharpton is not. The religions are not two offshoots of the same doctrine in the way of, for example, Baptists and Methodists...Mormonism has its own religious text and distinct beliefs. And in the context of a discussion about religion with a Christian I think it's totally in line with the expected.
