Yep. The Mormon-bashing and Mormon, as you put it "proselytizing" (don't think I'd put it that way), is playing right into the hands of the Dems.
IMHO, it's just part of a sad spectacle right now on FR, where the political debate mainly consists of hit-posts on the other candidates rather than supportive posts of one's own candidate. Howard Dean must be loving this - a President with numbers trending below 30 and a divided Republican Party to boot.

I agree entirely. I’ve seen Giuliani supporters backing McCain, Hunter supporters bashing Giuliani, Thompson supporters bashing everybody else.
I think it’s mostly harmless at this stage, though; it’s the “storming” phase of group dynamics. If it lasts beyond the first primaries, though, then we’re in real trouble.
