“It originated on the left and has more to do with demographics than ideology.”
Uh, no. While leftists may oppose Mormons on secular grounds, the ideological problems are legion and have been known about since Joseph Smith first got run out of town.
If I remember correctly, there were women’s groups campaigning against the “three barbarisms” before the WBTS.
They were alcohol, slavery and Mormon polygamy.
You mis-understood me. I didn’t say that the only problems were non-ideological. I said or at least meant to say that the recent media campaign against Mormons, the one that started before Romney entered the campaign, has more to do with demographics than ideology. Utah has the highest reproductive rate in the country, one of the top in the world. Those are all potential conservative voters.
