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 Charlestons 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 Romneys 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.

Why would you say that?
Does it have to be one or the other?
the welfare state is systemic and promotes racial hatred.
the department of ‘education’ is institutionalized dependence that crosses all races.
off shoring all labor to the cheapest country undermines the ability of ALL Americans to provide for their families.
allowing foreigners to spill over the southern border to take jobs and vote for dems, isn’t helping ANY American citizens
a piece of cloth from 150 years ago isn’t affecting the country NEARLY as bad as these
There was no reason to ping you when you were already in the thread.
I asked you to back up your original allegation by providing the Names of those here who supported Romney in the Primaries.
I don't think even a Romney supporter is stupid enough to expect me or anyone else to keep a list of names as you apparently are expecting me to do. So your bloviating on the subject is moronic at best. At worst, you're making a fool of yourself by exposing your limited intellect in expecting FReepers to actually keep lists of people we disagree with. Wow.
Was my request somehow rude?
No...it was moronic. I have already explained why.
I could be wrong, so based on your allegation, it appears YOU are the one who could clear this up by providing the information.
Again, I do not keep such lists. Do you drink in excess?
I will expect an Apology or the Information I requested.
I get it now, you're a comedian. Am I right?
I am a northerner, yet, I am annoyed at this demand. Seems to me that southerners have united against Roof. What more can anyone ask?
Nice to know you talk a good game but are unable to back it up with Facts. How rude of me to ask you to provide information that you allege to be true. Me bad...
I guess we’re done. Have a nice day.
Mitt Romney for President!
The same can be said of Angel Moroni statue atop LDS cathedrals as the Mormons are documented to be some of the most strident racists by their own teachings
Your standard for correct spelling is getting loser and loser.
Leni
You never did answer my question. Do you drink in excess?
Aren’t you the guy demonstrating wrath?
If you so up on things then how did you miss 6 years of primary hell of dealing with the pro-Romney crowd that resulted in mass zottings and people leaving?
How could you think that FR is the place to start posting dozens of freepers names on a thread that they aren’t even on, just to cause fights and make attacks on them?
One would think he would know that.
You are right from a historical point of view. Oddly, what I have noticed over and over in the area where I live (and for many years) are people, who are big time racists, like to fly the confederate flag. Just saying.
Actually its a symbol of STATES RIGHTS.... One would think he would know that.
He does that’s WHY he despises IT...
He’s a BORG(metaphorically) for the Collective.. the Hive..
The STATES must serve the Federal Givernment..
WHEN: in the Constitution, the Federal gov’t serves THE STATES... the Supreme Court was INVENTED to guarantee that was the case...
The Supreme Court’s purpose today has been altered 180 degrees off true north.. the direct opposite..
Could not have said it any better.
One of my sons has a shirt saying I am offended that you are offended by this flag. He actually gets a lot of compliments, though we are not up north with a bunch of wishy washy , ignorant to the flag liberals.
It is also a symbol of oppressive government.
It is also a symbol of a fight against oppressive government.
The Confederate Flag is a sign of states rights, history, liberty and freedom.
Another idiot jumping on the lefts bandwagon and thinking he is smart. He has no clue about the flag, nor does he know about the stars and stripes flying over slave ships, going out west to kill, rob , and rape Indians. He’s an idiot.
