Well, it looks like those racist, Godless Mormons have accepted Al's apology and welcomed him with open arms... They even said they consider this matter to be closed.
Hmmmm... :scratch:

The Reverend Al Sharpton is in Utah today in an effort to learn more about the LDS Church.
Last night, he had dinner with a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He spent today touring church sites and Temple Square.
The visit comes on the heels of a controversial comment he made earlier this month, a comment referring to presidential candidate Mitt Romney. On May 7, Sharpton said, "As for the one Mormon running for office. Those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that. That's a temporary situation." Romney reacted the next day by saying, "Hearing that statement I have to wonder if bigotry is alive and well in America."
Sharpton called to the Church headquarters and spoke with a couple of members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He said if anyone misunderstood his statements he regretted that.
He has since wanted to visit here to Salt Lake City to learn more about the faith.
There was some time spent last night with Elder M. Russell Ballard, and also this afternoon with Elder Robert C. Oaks who took him around to a couple of places. They visited the Humanitarian Aid Center and Temple Square. He said the purpose of the visit was to learn more about the faith.
Sharpton said, "This visit is not about politics. It's not about controversy. It was about our trying to discuss, as believers in God and Christ, common ground. Things that we should know about each other that we do not know, and areas possibly we can work together for the better of humanity, based on what all of us say that we are, and that is men and women of God."
