Nothing surprising to this story. Liberals ARE today's biggest bigots.
Of all the religious people I've ever met, I have the greatest respect for the Mormons. I don't know how the church manages to have such a high percentage of wonderful people and awesome families, but it does.
Years ago, I visited the Mormon tabernacle/temple in Salt Lake City. The Mormons there were giving out books on building strong families. I made a point of picking one up - not for the spiritual guidance, but for the insight it gave on what made Mormons such awesome people. I've still got it tucked away, somewhere.
So to find that liberals are prejudiced against Mormons surprises me not in the least. After all, liberals despise MOST things that good, decent, respectable, traditional, successful, hard-working, kind, family-oriented, honest ... and American.
IMVHO, of course! (Though, in this case, it's a fact.)

Study: Liberal Anti-Mormonism On The Rise
buzzfeed.com
The left have turned against the faith since 2008, according to a new study, spurred by Romney and same-sex marriage.
Americans' aversion to voting for Mormons has spiked since Mitt Romney's first presidential bid in 2007 — and that the people most wary of Mormon candidates are not Evangelicals, but rather political liberals and non-religious voters, according to new research from a leading scholar of anti-Mormon attitudes.
The overall increase in anti-Mormon attitudes among liberals may be an unanticipated consequence of the "the continuing candidacy of Mitt Romney and Mormon activism against same-sex marriage," the study suggests. And its findings may be alarming to the Romney campaign because among the study's other findings is that voters' perceptions of Mormonism are closely tied to whether they'll vote for him.
According to American National Election Studies, nearly 35 percent of national respondents said in February they were "less likely" to vote for a Mormon. That's up nine points from 2007, when Pew found 26 percent of voters expressing concern about pulling the lever for a Latter-day Saint.
