MITT ROMNEY: TAKE DOWN THE CONFEDERATE FLAG, IT’S ‘A SYMBOL OF RACIAL HATRED’
Breitbart ^ | 20 JUN 2015 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 06/20/2015 11:20:07 AM PDT by South40

On June 20 former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called for South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from their state Capitol grounds in Columbia.

His call comes in the wake of the heinous attack on Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. It follows a photo of the suspected gunman, Dylann Roof, in which Roof is seen leaning against his car with a Confederate flag license plate visible on the front of his vehicle being widely circulated.

Here were Romney’s exact words: “Take down the Confederate Flag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor Charleston victims.”

That’s the scam the Republican party is today. They are going to push Jeb Bush this time.

Burn in hell, bastard. Another example of why I’ve vowed to never ever give another vote to any of these GOP-Establishment scumbags. They cave and cower before every tiny bit of pressure from the PC-fascists and their media handmaidens. Cowardly cretins without convictions, without spines. Putrid, loathesome human scum.

Romney was the first GOP candidate in my voting life who did not get my vote. And hardly a day goes by in which I’m grateful I stood firm and refused to sully my soul by voting for this POS. The same POS who helped facilitate homo-marriage onto this country when he was governor of his state. Damn you to the deepest, darkest corners of hell, Romney. And ditto to all those who thrust you upon the 2012 ticket.

Mitt should realize that many blacks (and leftest) feel the same way about the stars and stripes. Will he be demanding that we take down the USA flag as well? It never ends. Leftest will not be satisfied until old glory is replaced with the UN flag.

Even when he isn’t running for anything the urge to pander is second nature.

SSDD

Romney imposed ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE, gay marriage,
polygamy, abuse of children by the above,
and tanked the Mass. economy.

That does not include his backstabbing of Gov. Palin
to throw the election to Obama.

I'm beginning to think we should change the name of our country to "Pavlovia."

Go away Mitt. You lost and cost the nation four more years of Obozo. Nobody cares what you have to say.

"Here were Romney’s exact words: “Take down the Confederate Flag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred."

It is? I wonder if the Confederate soldiers that fought and died under the CSA battle flag knew this?

The flag suffers from ‘transvexillum’.

Therefore, it can be a symbol of Oppression, or, Southern Patriotism.

Disagree, and you are a vexillum-phobe...
