Anti-Obama super PAC plans Jeremiah Wright smackdown; Left responds with anti-Mormon attacks

Waaaaahhhhh. Nobody ever let’s Soros monkey Eric Boehlert attack Mormons. It’s so unfaaaaair!
The New York Times reports that the founder of TD Ameritrade, Joe Ricketts, is considering a $10 million plan to “do exactly what John McCain would not let us do” in 2008: slam Obama for palling around with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Even though conservatives appear divided on the strategy, Obama supporters are terrified the super PAC’s narrative might gain traction.
And so, the bigoted Left is testing out a new threat this morning: if Republicans try to hit Barack Obama for his ties to a radical, anti-American pastor, they’ll rip Romney to shreds for his Mormon faith. Oh, but we’re sure they’ll do it with tolerance in their hearts.
(Bishop) @mittromney; please bring up Rev. Wright & Pres.Obama's religion. A debate about what 'crazy' pastors say? Please. #magicunderwear

If GOP goes after Wright, they're "putting how African Americans were treated by the Mormon religion" on the table: http://t.co/cteR9xCF

Does Mittens really want to discuss Rev Wright and religion? Big mistake.

Seriously? The GOP wants to resurrect the Rev. Wright BS again? Want to talk about a religion influencing someone, talk to an ex-Mormon. .

Super Pac going to revive Rev Wright issue. Does that mean we can examine the #Mormon issue? #connecttheleft

Did Mitt Romney and his family sit in a church pew for 20 years listening to a “blame America firster” ask God to “damn America”? No? That story sounds so familiar. Hmm.
But go ahead and rip Romney for his Mormonism, lefties. Two words: bring it.
Let’s see how quickly the Left’s chickens come home to roost when they launch a full scale assault, not on the politics of a pastor, but on an entire religious faith.
