Now, I wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney for dog-catcher, but I think what's happened to him in New Hampshire and Iowa is disgraceful and deeply un-American. In case you haven't followed this, Romney was the target of push polling targeting his Mormonism. The other Republican campaigns have decried the tactic, but it's likely one of them is behind it. Creating doubts about a candidate's religion is clearly out of bounds. The New Hampshire Attorney General has launched an investigation; it's illegal there. For once, here's a statement from the Romney campaign I cannot disagree with in any way:
"Whichever campaign is engaging in this type of awful religious bigotry as a line of political attack, it is repulsive and, to put it bluntly, un-American. There is no excuse for these attacks."
And then there are the scurrilous insinuations in the mainstream conservative media of anti-Semitism against insurgent Republican Ron Paul...
