[from site] Cher has upset Mormons by using a derogatory term in a Twitter attack on presidential hopeful Mitt Romney

The pop superstar, who is a fervent Democrat, sent out a tweet on Friday, urging President Obama and his aides to get organized or risk losing November's election to Republican Romney, who is a Mormon


Cher wrote, "I Feel if he (Obama) doesn't get all his DUCKS IN A ROW we'll b forced 2 listen 2Uncaring Richy Rich! The whitest man in MAGIC UNDERWEAR in the WH (White House)."


Her remarks have upset prominent members of the Mormon church, who wear formal garments known as "celestial underwear." The term "magic underwear" is considered offensive


Mormons took to Twitter in droves to take aim at Cher, with one calling her an "anti-Mormon bigot", and another stating, "I guess she is another example of a celebrity who surrounds themselves with people who always tell them what they want to hear so that they don't have to think before they speak or tweet in this case."


[now just replace the word celebrity with mormon]

I don't think I've ever heard them called Celestial Underwear...And the statement "formal garments" sounds kinda funny, too. I still like magic underpants....always makes me laugh

I thought they were called "magic jammies"

Or Jesus Jammies.

"Angel chaps"

Cher, is making fun of rich people who wear strange things?

That's hilarious. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
How many rich white guys has she been married to? Dated? slept with? She must not hate them too much.

+ 1000

Mormons do it because it is required to become a GOD.

Mia - totally agree with you in principle but am perfectly happy to have the term magic underwear become part of the American landscape so I'm going to have to give her a pass on this one. At least we can't say she knows nothing about her subject (rich people in weird clothes, I mean.)

cher is now my hero!!!!

I love this and I am not a democrat. She can call his undies anything she wants. Who knew that Cher may start the factual aspects of being Mormon??? And Mia the rich guys she has been with did not wear special "undies" due to their religion for heaven's sake. Who in that world does anything that is required? Money talks. Mitt has the money but his religion requires this idiotic lifestyle.

Yeah, the rich guys she dated were likely not republican nor wearing magic underwear - perhaps no underwear at all, but definitely not magical.

Cher dated Gene Simmons and he has stated that he is a Republican.

I thought they were officially called Angel Chaps.

"cher's tweet"

Did anyone else have a naughty thought?

Twenty years ago, maybe.

Even now, yes!

Mind you, when I was 28 (before I met Mrs Matt) I had a brief, but loving affair with a woman who was 58. I thought she was beautiful and the age difference did not matter to me.

I met her 20 years later, by chance. To my surprise, the old feelings came back, I still felt the same way about her, a bit giddy and my palms started to sweat, a little. ;o))

We chatted a little, and went our separate ways.

I'd date Barbie.

which is exceedingly rare, as I try not to think too much theses days. Anyway, my thought is that maybe Judge Judy isn't too old for you, after all.

I know that it's entirely academic, as you are very happy with Mrs. Matt, and Judge Judy probably makes lousy curry if she makes it at all.

First thing I thought.

Mormons wear magic underwear so they can't get their panties in a twist but Cher just gave them skid marks.

Funny!

" . . . surrounds themselves with people who always tell them what they want to hear so that they don't have to think before they speak . . . "

And that coming from a Mormon. That's why you're nicknamed "sheeple", you idgit.

I thought mormons were commanded not to take offence

then they best stop attributing magical powers to it.

like stopping bullets and fires and stabbings and drive-bys.

seriously, us nevermo's would have never have guessed their underwear was magical, unless we heard all the faith promoting crap about their magical powers.

I was content to just think them stupid. Like their wearers.

Good for Cher!!! Another reason to like her!!

I never heard them called "celestial underwear"...but that sounds almost as odd as magical underwear. I only heard "temple garments". I called them unprintable names, for they are miserable and HOT in the Texas summers. And very very stupid too.

It's GREAT that this sort of thing is coming out for the non-cult public to hear!

It's funny that Mormons can't stand a black man in the white house, but a rich guy who wears Kolob B'Gosh whities is acceptable.

Kolob B'Gosh - ha! I love that, good one, Don! :D

lol Don

Mormons feel perfectly entitled to comment on everyone else's underwear--immodest, slutty, walking pornography--or inappropriately do the is-she-or-isn't-she (or is-he-or-isn't-he) garment feel-up on inactives/ex-mo's, but they get their magic knickers in a twist when people comment on their underwear.

Makes perfect sense in the we're-so-special-no-one-can-comment-on-our-uber-delightsome-specialness world of the poor, persecuted sheep. It makes the church TRUE, after all.

I always found Cher a bit obnoxious and attention-seeking, but since her tweets about the ludicrously effeminate homophobe Marcus Bachmann, I have more respect for her. I'm not on Twitter and Facebook and the like, but her tweets were discussed on a gay forum and widely approved. As one person wrote after seeing Dr Marcus flitting around: "OMG he's more effeminate than me and I'm writing this wearing a red damask caftan and smoking Virginia Slims in a cigarette holder!"

I so hope her latest tweet starts a wide discussion on the specifics of Uncle Mitt's Magic Underwear!

I am never surprised that old geezers and the crazy morg folks (some are wonderful...they just happen to be in a cult!) can ask me if I am morally clean (nosey bastards) and can ask about my finances (bite me). They drop in at anytime they wish at THEIR convenience not yours.

One old perv peeked in my window (hands cupped against the glass -- no kidding-- when I was in my night clothes-I hope he goes blind!). These people have no problem asking why I wasn't in church or other questions as if I'm a 6 year old in stead of a grow woman...so, they can dish it out well enough but when someone uses their free speech to express their opinion, they get O F F E N D E D!

My last bishop, who was often guilty of 'FELONY-STUPID', would say (and it applies to Cher's Tweet), "She is using her free agency!"

They need to get over it!!

Mormons calling Cher "a bigot"?

Wow, that's like Nixon calling someone a liar or a cheater.

*rolling my eyes all the way to the back of my head and getting a headache from it.*
