Republicans wondering whether Mitt Romney’s political adversaries will use Mormonism against him got yet another answer to their question Thursday when MSNBC host Martin Bashir read from Mormon scriptures to condemn Romney to damnation for “lying” about Barack Obama’s jobs record.

Bashir was discussing Romney’s oft-stated accusation that the president promised the stimulus would keep unemployment below eight percent.  In fact, top officials of the incoming Obama administration, not Obama himself, made that predication not long before Inauguration Day.  Attributing the position to Obama, Bashir said, is a lie worthy of eternal damnation.
