Hugh Hewitt had Lawrence O’donnell on his show the other day asking him about his problem with Mormons including his recent attack where he called Mormonism a “racist faith” and Joseph Smith a “lying, fraudulent, criminal”, and whether he would be just as critical about Mohammed and his teachings from the Koran.  The transcript is here, but here’s the juice:

LO’D: I agree.

HH: Lawrence O’Donnell, I appreciate your candor.
