Repub­li­cans Admit Mail­ing Cam­paign Lit­er­a­ture Say­ing Lib­er­als Will Ban the Bible

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.

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.
