Tom Hayden notes Republican obsessions with dredging up Barack Obama’s roots, and says it’s time to take a look at Mitt Romney’s Roots:

In conclusion: A Romney relative, the head of the Mormon temple in Chihuahua, was kidnapped along with another Mormon in probable retaliation for 1970s murders carried out by a son of the founder of Colonia LeBaron, the polygamous enclave that gave rise to George, and now Mitt, Romney.

Speaking of roots, Jason Drexler takes a look at the roots of Romney’s spiritual leader, con-man Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon religion.
