What do Repubs consider off-limits when attacking Obama?

22. All of these 'we need to use soft mitts on Mitt' threads make me wonder who 'we' is supposed to be.

Should the President use all manner of attacks? No. Should others, on his behalf? You bet your ass. And listen up. The GOP attacks Obama not only on the basis of his faith-they made a huge issue out of Rev Wright, a man I like. Yep. I like Wright. They made a candidate's pastor an issue. When they ran that tap dry, they stopped damning him with his brand of Christianity and started calling him a Muslim. So how's about we give them one. We won't attack Republicans for holding religions they don't hold, so Romney's Jainism is off the table.
I just don't get how you can look at all of the things they do and start in on making forbidden lists. I'm not 'nearly a Republican' maybe if I was, I'd understand you guys who want kid gloves for entire modalities of attack. If someone takes a crucifix off the church wall and starts to beat you with it, must you allow this out of respect for their faith? Yet if they used a baseball bat, you'd fight back, for it is a secular weapon?
