The question here is what the current activism against Mormon's seeks to accomplish. As stated, Mormons only make up approximately 3% of the population (and not all could vote, and of those who did, not all voted yes) as such, their contribution to the movement, as you note, was in volunteer work. So, if Mormons are electorally insignificant but decisive in a paticipatory sense, such activism can be interpreted as a message that they must not actively participate in electoral politics without fear of reprisals.

Now, I understand that this is an unfortunate reality of the times. That said, if we find such behavior repugnant when it is utilized by the likes of Michelle Malkin, or the Freepers we must at the very least admit that our utilization of such tactics is equally repugnant. You may find it necessary, and I accept your right to use it, and the reasoning behind at as being sound. What I don't accept is that such activity suddenly becomes moral and laudable when utilized for the "right ends." If you see this as necessary, then it is necessary, if it gets you the rights you are fighting for, then fine.
