Huckabee’s Shadow Campaign – Incite the Anti-Mormon/Romney Vote from America’s Pulpits

Mostly transcribed from Politico’s Post – see actual pdf here.
This you just have to see for yourself. This is a correspondence to all the “Jim Jones” folks promoting Huckabee from everything from the pulpit to the parking lot. I think Michigan needs to send out the IRS Swat Team to every evangelical church in Michigan and see a whole bunch of churches lose their tax-exempt status.
(My comments are like this.)

How to Win Michigan for Huckabee!
Our highest priorities for the next ten days.
“We were stunned when we saw the poll numbers in Michigan in which we were first or second. …Michigan is turning out to be a very key state for us.” Gov. Mike Huckabee, Detroit News, Jan 3, 2007
“In the past, Christian conservatives have made up anywhere from a quarter to a third fo the Republican electorate in Michigan. In a Detroit News-WXYZ Action News poll last month, 40 percent of likely Republican primary voters in Michiga described themselves as evangelical or fundamentalist Christians.” Detroit News, Jan 4, 2007
Dear Huckabee supporter,
The e-mail I sent earlier is the single most effective way to turn out only identified Huckabee supporters on primary election day, Jan 15th.
For those who do not have the time or manpower to make all those voter I.D. phone calls, here is the second most important campaign objective in the eight days remaining, and it focuses particularly on this coming Sunday, Jan 13th.
What portion of the voting public is most strongly in favor of Gov. Huckabee?
The answer: Evangelical Churches
Members of evangelical churches vote for Huckabee by a 6-to-1 margin over Mitt Romney, meaning that if we turned out every evangelical Christian on election day, Gov. Huckabee would get six times as many votes as Romney!
So how do we target evangelical churches and effectively turn out members of those churches?
Read below, and please do as much as you possibly can between now and Jan 15th.
Gary
And don't you forget it!
Regrettable Mormon Church Decision to Back ‘Gay Rights’
Ha! Keep trying, Resty.
But first you’ll have to explain how targeting certain demographic groups for Get Out the Vote activity is even remotely related to your false accusation that I’ve posted messages “maligning LDS.”
If you find young people support your candidate, you do GOTV on college campuses. That doesn’t mean you’re “maligning” senior citizens.
Similarly, when you find people of a certain faith are supporting your candidate, you target GOTV efforts to turn out as many of them as you can. And you try to avoid reminding others who don’t support your candidate that there’s even an election going on. Again, that’s not “maligning” anybody.
There are plenty of folks, Resty, who have posted messages obviously attacking the LDS Church in total, including on this thread.
My posts have been limited to (1) criticizing a presidential candidate totally unrelated to his faith affiliation, except to note how out of step his record was with the values of his own church, and now (2) criticizing the Church’s grossly uninformed endorsement of homosexual and cross-dressing “rights” laws (which I continue to hope was based on simple ignorance and may be modified or reversed), while praising the Church for its support of constitutionally protecting one-man, one-woman marriage.
C’mon. You can do better than that.
Well, actually you can’t. Which is the point.
Rather than waste your time trying to find posts that “malign LDS,” it’ll be a lot quicker if you’ll just admit that you’re guilty of bearing false witness and apologize.
