Has the predicted play of the Mormon Card against Romney begun?
American Thinker ^ | August 24, 2012 | Lee Cary

A recent AT article predicted that the Obama campaign would play the Mormon Church card after Labor Day. It's begun early.

On June 25, 2012, an American Thinker article entitled "Obama Campaign's Hole Card: Romney's Church" predicted that, through its loyal supporters in the liberal media, the Obama campaign would play Romney's affiliation with the Mormon Church against him.

In part, the article read:

And, as November nears, does anyone think that the two Davids -- Plouffe and Axelrod -- will hesitate to play it [the Mormon Church card] after Labor Day?

Of course, they won't play it face-up, overtly. It'll flip over on the political game table via a circuitous, but transparent, route -- through their allies in the legacy media.

One of the "C" media outlets (CBS, NBC, CNN, or ABC) will produce a special expose on Religion in American Politics - 2012. The correspondents will review the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's role in the '08 election, emphasizing how Candidate Obama distanced himself from his embarrassing, crazy-uncle pastor.

Black Theology Card is easily trumped by the Mormon card any day of the week.

The FIRST comment Jimmy Fallon made on his show last night was that "CNN will be airing a 90 minute special about Mitt Romney". Did the White House call Fallon and tell him to promote it? Probably.

CNN is busy promoting this special, "The life, FAITH, and family" of Mitt Romney. Did they vett 0bama, delving into his RELIGION prior the 2008 election??? NO.

Does anyone out there have the appropriate number to call CNN's programming dept where an answering machine isn't involved? We need to go after the networks and the media for their 'in your face' campaign to sabotage Romney.

It’s Black Liberation Theology (Marxism). The church is more political than theological.

Newsmax says Romney plans to play that card himself during the convention.

The GOP-E must be ecstatic.

I think most average people have had the same experience I’ve had. Mormons you work with or live near are 99.9% of the time quality people.

And Muslims you work with or live near are insular, suspicious, and distant.

I’m really not worried about Baraq, Axlegrease,and Plouffy.
The media touts them as geniuses, but they’re like a champion boxer who never fought a guy with a winning record.

How about Obama’s father, Obama Sr., who was actually married when he married Stanley Ann? Obama’s family is filled with polygamists.

oops sorry about that, I thought I should have added Liberation to it but hesitated before clicking post. Thanks for the correction.

well we know that was coming!
Look for a running on TV of the movie on the Mountain Meadow massacre. I can't remember the name of it.

So, in Nov most people will get a chance to vote for a man who wants to be a god and against a man who thinks he is god.

Two national ‘news’ networks have announced specials on Mormonism. I’d say, yes, it has begun.

In 2005 Mitt asked for permission from his Holy Prophet to run for president, the answer was yes.

With the multimillion dollar ad campaign, and the ad agency hire, the Mormons are fully ready to capitalize on Mitt’s successes.
