This doesn't sound like an off the cuff comment to me. I have a hunch that Schweitzer's comment was planned, either by the Obama campaign or the DNC. They're using him as a surrogate to bring up the topic. Obama can denounce it and steer clear of any backlash while the issue still circulates and brings it into a national conversation.

I am sure you all would b singing a different tune if some one brought up Obama's association with Ayers or Rev Wright...accusing of racism and bigotry. I am surprised that you all find it ok to attack a man's faith...

Well, to be fair, that already happened...four years ago. And who said that every democrat approves of it? It looks like a lot of us don't. But the fact of the matter is that this kind of campaigning exists in every cycle. Democrats have usually been at the other end of it (i.e. Dukakis, Kerry, Obama). It was particularly nasty for Dukakis- being asked whether he would support the death penalty if his wife were raped and murdered, very sleazy stuff. Or the ridiculous rumor that Dukakis didn't support the pledge of allegiance. It looks like Mittens might be the one having to fight off brazen attacks this time.

I can't say I approve of it, but I can't help but say to myself, "what goes around comes around..."
