"The Mormons Are Coming" Ad Scheme Hits East Coast

WaPo version 

With the battle moving east, some advocates are shouting that fact in the streets, calculating that on an issue that eventually comes down to comfort levels, more people harbor apprehensions about Mormons than about homosexuality."The Mormons are coming! The Mormons are coming!" warned ads placed on newspaper Web sites in three Eastern states last month. The ad was rejected by sites in three other states, including Maine, where the Kennebec Journal informed Californians Against Hate that the copy "borders on insulting and denigrating a whole set of people based on their religion."

"I'm not intending it to harm the religion. I think they do wonderful things. Nicest people," said Fred Karger, a former Republican campaign consultant who established Californians Against Hate. "My single goal is to get them out of the same-sex marriage business and back to helping hurricane victims."

This may be a Mormon stereotype (straight-looking young man in suit who goes door to door) but it's the first thing you get when you Google Images for "The Mormons are Coming."

Hammer the Mormons.

Also hammer the Catholics, and any megachurch that speaks a Third World language.
