I can understand that.
There have been a lot of comparisons between Romney/LDS and JFK/Catholic. I don't remember that JFK had to battle the "cult" angle when his religion was brought up. (Though, I think cult joined the general lexicon after the Manson murders.) He did have to battle the "He'll be taking his orders from the Vatican" talk.
