As for Hillary’s recent MLK comments, it was a careless choice of words, at best.

For those who have not yet heard this song on the radio, I’ll share it with you here.
If you need a song to put you in the right spirit for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, may I suggest this one?

A Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.

They conclude:

“FACT: In The Summer Of 1963, Governor Romney Participated In Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Freedom Marches” In Grosse Pointe, Michigan.”
“In 1963, George Romney Gave The Keynote Address At The Conference That Sparked The Martin Luther King ‘Freedom Marches’”

and:

FACT: As Governor Of Michigan, George Romney Fought For Civil Rights And Marched In Support Of Martin Luther King Jr.
In 1967, George Romney Was Praised At A National Civil Rights Rally For His Leadership. “Michigan Gov. George Romney walked into a Negro Civil Rights rally in the heart of Atlanta to the chants of ‘We Want Romney’”

This tempest provides Mitt Romney with an inoculation and the blow back will provide a sympathetic response.

I stand corrected–thanks.

I was thinking more in terms of a presidential Candidate…do you think anyone would ask Mitt now as he aims for the POTUS?

Did Gov. Romney explain why he didn’t/couldn’t march while he was the Gov?

What was the specific reason(s) or purpose of the marching during the Gov’s term?

Were there any special issues tha Gov stood against that related to the Marching Mass.?

Thanks again.

But just in case, here are some living eyewitness accounts:

By the way, Romney is a public figure so a libel suit like someone suggested would be next to impossible to win.

TIME FOR A RETRACTION FROM THE PHOENIX! Harper’s Magazine 1967 article by William V. Shannon. pg 60. http://www.harpers.org/media/pages/1967/02/pdf/HarpersMagazine-1967-02-0015313.pdf “When the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King marched in Detroit three years ago, Romney marched with him. He is proud that he helped write a state constitution that has the most comprehensive civil-rights guarantees in the nation, including open occupancy in housing.” Clearly, Mitt may be remembering what his father told him: unless you think this is a family conspiracy.

Your assertion: “the Phoenix can find no evidence that the senior Romney actually marched with King, nor anything in the public record suggesting that he ever claimed to do so. ” is PROVEN wrong- based on the Harper’s Article.

You wrote, “If Mitt wanted to march with Black Americans and their leadership and asked to…they’d likely deny him. However, there are those in the African American communities that would love to march and stand hand-in-hand with Mitt Romney today.”

Has was asked to numerous times in Massachusetts he refused. He was asked to come to Baltimore with PBS and Tavis Smiley he refused. Let’s not go there unless you are willing to back it up.

So did you nitpick over what “the definition of ‘is’ is” when Clinton was on trial? Or is it only nitpicking when it is against your guy?

So you brilliant defense there, would it hold up anywhere?

“Well your honor, when I said under oath that I ’saw’ that man rape that woman, I was telling the truth… I ‘visualized’ him doing it”

“Officer, when I said I had my driver’s license ‘with’ me, I merely meant I carried it spiritually. It was definitely on my mind as I was driving”

Our current President has boldly taken a stance to reverse the misguided decision of the 1960s to allow people of color to freely participate in elections. In Flordia and Ohio, the Rove Justice Department looked away as the state officials disenfranchised tens of thousands of Negros. We must thank the Lord that Karl Rove and George W. Bush have taken steps to rectify the errors of the past.

God Bless George W. Bush.

Please don’t patronize us. I want facts, not “figurative” facts.

You did not do 1/3 the research these two publications did.

If the campaign wants to say he was speaking figuratively, why are they still trying to prove it literally true?

Losing cause, all around.

Not that I wasn’t expecting this to happen. I believe that after Mitt wins the primaries that it will ramp up to a whole new level from the left. Hang on folks, it’s gonna be a wild and fun ride.
