The Post Register in Idaho Falls carries two headlines:
“Romney building a lead”
“Brownback aide’s e-mail questions LDS faith”
Here is an excerpt from the second article:
Emma Nemecek, the southeastern Iowa field director for Brownback’s presidential campaign and a former state representative candidate, violated campaign policy when she forwarded the June 6 e-mail from an interest group raising the questions, the Brownback campaign said Sunday.
The e-mail requested help in fact checking a series of statements about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Among the statements: “Theologically, the only things Christianity and the LDS church has in common is the name of Jesus Christ, and the LDS Jesus is not the same Jesus of the Christian faith,” and, “The LDS church has never been accepted by the Christian Council of Churches.”
“Sen. Brownback completely disavows himself on this and any personal attacks on religion,” said Brian Hart, a spokesman for the Kansas senator. Hart said the campaign apologized to Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, once it learned of the e-mail”
Interesting.
