From the New York Times:
So please don't tell me about the Swift Vets, Texans for Truth, MemoGate, or whatever. The Republicans are openly lying -- do you really think that if the Democrats win liberals will ban the bible? -- and counting on a lazy media to ignore the story.
The Republican Party acknowledged yesterday sending mass mailings to residents of two states warning that "liberals" seek to ban the Bible. It said the mailings were part of its effort to mobilize religious voters for President Bush.That's the national party that sent these out. Not some crazy locals. Not a 527 group.
The mailings include images of the Bible labeled "banned" and of a gay marriage proposal labeled "allowed." A mailing to Arkansas residents warns: "This will be Arkansas if you don't vote." A similar mailing was sent to West Virginians.
In an e-mail message, Christine Iverson, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, confirmed that the party had sent the mailings.
So please don't tell me about the Swift Vets, Texans for Truth, MemoGate, or whatever. The Republicans are openly lying -- do you really think that if the Democrats win liberals will ban the bible? -- and counting on a lazy media to ignore the story.
