Appearing on CNN’s “State Of The Union,” Obama adviser David Axelrod said that attacks on Gov. Mitt Romney’s faith, Mormonism are “not fair game.”

“Does the re-elect committee repudiate the idea that Mormonism should be on the table?” CNN’s Candy Crowley asked.

“Absolutely and we have right along,” Axelorod said. “We’ve said that’s not fair game. And we wish that Governor Romney would stand up as strongly and as resolutely consistently to – to – to refute these kinds of things on his side. Instead he’s amplified them in the past. And he’s put logs on that fire. And that’s not leadership.”

1. He speaks for President Obama...

Of course, Obama is going to take the high road.

But as for the rest of us? Well, I don't work for President Obama, so I consider Mormonism fair game!

2. Please, Repigs, please bring up Rev Wright, so we can legitimately go after

Romney's kooky religious beliefs.

4. Amen to that.

5. I think his racist religion is fair game

He wants to be President of all Americans after being a leader in a religion that had a racist platform up until 1978. Why can't he be called out on that?
