My Point Exactly

See post below for context.

I wake up this morning and find a gem of an article by Thomas Burr of the Salt Lake Tribune.

An excerpt is below:

CLINTON, Iowa - Another anti-Mormon mailer, this one alleging Mitt Romney is part of an LDS Church conspiracy to topple the government, has hit voters' mailboxes in Florida, continuing a string of attacks on the presidential candidate's faith just days before the first primary contest.

The rambling letter, from an organization calling itself the Freedom Defense Advocates, alleges Romney is running for president at the bidding of church leaders and that Mormons are a violent people who want to overthrow the U.S. Constitution.

"Help me sound the alarm that one day the Mormon Church plans to replace the Constitution with a Mormon theocracy," reads the letter, signed by John Boyd.

"Mitt Romney's political success indicates this may be sooner than most have thought. Do you really want a president who believes he will someday become a god? Is that who you want occupying the most powerful position in the world . . . the United States presidency?"

It was unclear Monday how many voters received the mailer, though the group said it was "widespread." The Romney camp said it had only heard of one recipient.

Boyd says he runs a political action committee, though no group by that name has registered with the Federal Elections Commission or the Internal Revenue Service.

The letter - which is also posted on the group's Web site and makes a plea for donations - is one of a string of attacks on Romney's Mormon faith in the past few months in the states with the earliest presidential primary balloting. South Carolina voters received a Christmas card raising the specter of plural marriage, and phone calls critical of the Mormon faith were reported in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Romney traveling press secretary Eric Fehrnstrom said the letter was a ''contemptible piece of literature and whoever is behind it ought to be ashamed of themselves.''
