http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/axelrod-mormonism-not-fair-game?ref=fpb<snip>
Appearing on CNNs State Of The Union, Obama adviser David Axelrod said that attacks on Gov. Mitt Romneys faith, Mormonism are not fair game.
Does the re-elect committee repudiate the idea that Mormonism should be on the table? CNNs Candy Crowley asked.
Absolutely and we have right along, Axelorod said. Weve said thats not fair game. And we wish that Governor Romney would stand up as strongly and as resolutely consistently to to to refute these kinds of things on his side. Instead hes amplified them in the past. And hes put logs on that fire. And thats not leadership.

Of course, Obama is going to take the high road.
But as for the rest of us? Well, I don't work for President Obama, so I consider Mormonism fair game!

He wants to be President of all Americans after being a leader in a religion that had a racist platform up until 1978. Why can't he be called out on that?
