Republicans finally came clean last week and admitted they
were responsible for a mass mailing campaign in West
Virginia and Arkansas which warned that Democrats want to
ban the Bible
(http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/24/po...n/24bible.html)
.. The pamphlets -- featuring a photo of a bible with a big
red "BANNED" stamped across the front -- warned that
"liberal" support for legal rights for same-sex couples
"could lead to hate-crimes laws that could be applied
against sermons of Bible passages criticizing
homosexuality." The ugly tactic was part of the GOP effort
"to mobilize religious voters for President Bush."
