Read the LDS 1997 Anti-Gay Attack Memo
Backstory: 1) Oh, Mormons! Yoo Hoo! Tell Me Again How the LDS Church Wasn’t Involved in Campaign H8!; 2) Video: Mormon Memo re Anti-Gay Marriage Political Strategy
The memo is in PDF, but you’ve got to read it for yourself.
Just one name that litters the entire memo — and jumped off the screen at me: Elder Richard B. Wirthlin.
The name Wirthlin should sound familiar to you (try to hold down the rise of bile as you watch):
So, any relation to Richard B. Wirthlin, a.k.a. Richard Bitner (”Dick”) Wirthlin?
I think Chino can answer that.
