Debunk away. Start by providing sources that "debunk" the facts in the article.
I doubt your assertion that "His family’s history fighting for Civil rights is more than enough to debunk this"....just how many media outlets do you honestly believe are going to join you in this "debunking" crusade?
I'm sorry that the facts are not to your liking.
George Romney pushed an aggressive civil rights agenda
::snip::ANN ARBOR, Mich. - In 1963, an explosive year in the quest for civil rights, George Romney appeared unannounced in the mostly white suburb of Grosse Pointe and marched to the front of an anti-segregation demonstration to stand beside black leaders. Letters from startled constituents poured into the office of the first-term Michigan governor, whose son Mitt was then 16. Supporters who had helped him win his narrow victory the previous November said his actions made him "a double-crosser" and a "Judas to the people that voted for you." Their diatribes were sprinkled with warnings that they would work against him: "You are a ’dead duck’ for 1964," one detractor typed above a newspaper photograph of a shirt-sleeved Romney walking shoulder to shoulder with civil rights activists. The elder Romney pressed ahead with an aggressive civil rights agenda that ultimately put him at odds with the leaders of his party. He refused to back Barry Goldwater as the 1964 Republican presidential nominee because, he told Goldwater in a letter, he was alarmed by indications that Goldwater’s strategists "proposed to make an all-out push for the Southern white segregationist vote" and "exploit the so-called ’white backlash’ in the North." George Romney began pushing reforms to end discrimination toward minorities in housing soon after taking office in 1963 - work that would lead to his highly controversial effort to integrate the nation’s white suburbs as President Richard Nixon’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He launched his own 1968 presidential run after a 19-day tour of the ghettos of 17 cities, turning a spotlight on the decay and overcrowding that had contributed to riots in Detroit and elsewhere.
you have that backwards don't you? You seem to think the only "facts" that matter are the ones the liberal media will let through their filter.
lots of freepers have mentioned the dems history on the '64 civil rigthts bill, romneys fathers marching for civil rights when al gores father and other dems were opposing them. Theyve also mentioned Jeremiah Wright's sermons, and the hypocrisy of the left trashing mormonism while they stick up for the worlds most hateful religion, islam.
These are the facts that will come out on fox, through conservative poundits and talk radio etc. These facts which you have dismissed over and over, obviously not to YOUR liking
I am going to give you one more little piece of information on why posting these things without due diligence or debunking doesn’t help. When you Google the title of this article, the article you posted just an hour ago, this thread is already #3 in Google rankings.
Right below the original NYT article and the Democrat Underground reprint.
You may not want it, but FR has a powerful responsibility to push for truth versus spread the lies of the left.
In the past, propaganda hit pieces from the NY Slimes would have a ‘Barf Alert’ in the title and be followed by a lot of debunking by the OP. Not, bolding and cheering the propaganda like you did.
