Okay, as a 16 year-old, Mitt remembers his father marching for civil rights in support of MLK.

Even if George Romney and MLK never linked arms together to march, Mitt’s memory is correct in its essentials. His father did take an active public stand for civil rights.

Those claiming that his recalled memory is some egregious lie have gone too far.

Actually, when Mitt made the comment in question, I thought he meant it figuratively, because of his father's involvement in the civil rights movement.

At any rate, the people who are playing "gotcha" in this situation, are really being petty.

It must be tough when you finally come to the realization your candidate isn't going to win the nomination.

I agree with you completely, that’s why I say they are being unmerciful, but hey, it’s great training for the day when he has to deal with the manipulative witch named Hillary. She is extreamly treacherous so this is good training.

They are, in fact, liars.
