"The Spartanburg Herald-Journal reported that some unsigned literature
attacking Mormonism was being mailed to some households in the state. The
literature was described as “an eight-page diatribe,” with the title “Mormons in
Contemporary American Society: A Politically Dangerous Religion?” It did not
mention Romney, who is Mormon, but was seen by politically active South
Carolinians as a direct attack on his candidacy, the paper said."
There are some ugly battles that are going to be waged in this election, most of all in the primary cycle. The reason being that attacks like this that are blind, it is difficult to pin on a source. When there is only one candidate that is running for the party - like when the president is running for re-election, attacks are easy to tag. Any attack on the candidate in such a case, more often than not is from the other party. However in this case, with so many people going for the gold, in the chaos knowing who is doing the attacking - or rather not knowing, gives freedom.
