So I guess fact checking a religious question will soon be outlawed.

Who said anything about laws? Looks like Amnesty Sam just has one of those dang overenthusiastic staffers that bedevil all politicians.

Fact checking is all right if you are actually looking for facts from those who would know the facts. It was sent to Republican leaders. Why would they be in the position to confirm or deny religious rulings? This appears to me to be the type of communication intended to put out rumors or allegations while still maintaining plausible deniability (”I was only asking”). So since it was not sent to religious spokespersons who could give true information on those “facts”, I’d say it was inappropriate.

It must really bother you that Senator Brownback doesn’t want to buy the the anti-mormon garbage your crowd is peddling.

The article states: “Sen. Brownback completely disavows himself of this and any personal attacks on religion,” said Brian Hart, a spokesman for the Kansas senator. Hart said the campaign apologized to Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, once they learned of the e-mail.

LOL. It must be time for the Flying Inman Posse to issue a fatah against Brownback.

It is quite obvious what the Brownback campaign was up to. Dishonest too.
