Cenk asks his Power Panel — Dean Obeidallah (who also happens to be a Muslim) and BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins (who also happens to be a Mormon) — whether Obama adviser David Axelrod is right to say that Mitt Romney’s religion should be off limits for political ads. “Any Mormon who sees Mitt Romney and watches him in action knows that he’s been shaped by his faith,” Coppins says. “Do we see any evidence that Mitt Romney wants to apply Mormon teachings and Mormon principles in the way he governs? I don’t know that we do, but that’s a fair question.” Obeidallah says, “President Obama’s not even a Muslim, yet in two states in the South — Alabama and Mississippi — half the Republicans think he’s a Muslim because they hate Muslims.”
