(Your 4 years late...that applied to '08...'bama's not been back there...)
Besides...AnotherUnixGeek assured us (post #36): "The presidency is a job to which one is elected. Religion is no part of that job...The religion of a president is irrelevant - I want to know if the man can and will do a good job."
Therefore, by anotherUnixGeek's standards, who, btw, represents a LOT of FREEPERs well beyond him/her...Rev. Jeremiah Wright's "stuff" should have been "out of bounds" for discussion in 2008 and its resurrection in 2012.
So...I've seen HUNDREDS of freepers tell us that Mormonism is "out of bounds"...
In four years years, I've only seen one FREEPER -- and it wasn't me -- who said that Obama's Wright connections or alleged closet Muslim ties were out of bounds. (You could say the same when Romney told the Christian Science Monitor in late '07 that he wouldn't have a Muslim on his Cabinet...I guess Romney, by these standards, should NOT have considered the "religion" of a potential Cabinet member)
Talk about religious hypocrisy... If people TRULY felt as strong as they've expressed it in defending Mormonism -- and applied that standard, that worldview, that conviction evenly across the board, they would have mentioned it on the Rev. Wright threads...the thousands of Obama-is-a-Muslim posts...
But...they hold a conviction that's applied quite conveniently in some situations, and quite conveniently withheld in other discussions...
Simply put: It's religious hypocrisy at play.
