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.

Apparently in some parallel universe we're supposed to keep lists. I never got that memo.
No South, I don’t drink in excess. In fact, I barely drink at all. Do you get a thrill accusing people of being Alcoholics?
My Father is an Alcoholic who quit drinking 12 Years ago. He is now 92 and still getting along. It was such a pleasure growing up in a Household with an Alcoholic Father.
You and I obviously are looking at the same thing in two different ways. I simply replied to YOUR Post saying I had never seen ANYONE here who supported Romney in the 2008 Primaries and asked you to clarify your allegation with factual proof and suddenly I am an Alcoholic and a Comedian?
An utterly amazing leap. Then you high five Ansel in a follow up Post ridiculing me for asking you to provide documentation of your original allegation.
Then to add insult to injury, I get Ansel attacking me on another Post for daring to ask a question of you. WTH, are you two Tag Teaming me now? How ridiculous can this get?
Look, I don’t know you from Adam. I just read something that you Posted that I never saw on FR and wanted to know who you were talking about. I’ll never make that mistake again my FRiend.
Again, you obviously have a problem with me asking you clarify a Comment YOU made and according to Ansel, I have no business Posting anything about Romney because I’ve only been an FR Member for Eleven Years.
I give up. You two Hug it out. Again, have a nice day.
The Romney threads lasted for many years, and many of the names are easy to come up with and post and ping, but that isn’t the way things are done here.
Besides, when a guy missed out on the white hot battles, and bannings, and final posts, for so many years, he isn’t worth bothering with.
Kickass Conservative could easily find those threads, if he wasn’t playing a game.
Besides, common sense alone would tell him that a Mitt Romney, the 800 pound gorilla in 2008, and the actual GOP nominee in 2012, would have had many supporters here.
I am aware of at least one list that has my name on it. Initially I was miffed but now I consider it a small point of pride to be in such good company ;’)
I agree. Its a shame the flag was hijacked and there in lies the problem.
It does not help when the schools today do not teach the correct history over the war.
The south should standup and take that flag back and denounce anyone who is like you mentioned. It’s a battle flag where up to 60 men would run with it and if the man fell carrying it then the next man would drop his weapon and pick it up.
The stars and stripes flew over the slave ships and it flew out west to the Indians and yet the media won’t mention those facts. Sort of like the KKK were Democrats , hell most Dems don’t even know that and it was the KKK which flew the stars and stripes.
You just made up a total lie, and didn't ping me to it. You really are playing some weird game here.
They are pushing Jebsie, and for the next presidential election I will vote a write-in because I am firmly convinced that America loses again if the Democrat or the RINO wins.
Ansel, I didn’t make the original allegation that some FReepers supported Romney in the 2008, so what does this have to do with me?
I just asked South to clarify his allegation.
Look, I am over this ridiculous nonsense. I will never ask another Freeper to back up anything they Post. The sky is Orange, so be it.
It appears that many here have lost sight of our true Enemy.
Have a nice day.
Sorry Ansel, that is what your Post appeared to imply to me.
I’m just a babe in the woods. If I misunderstood what you Posted, my Apologies. I took it as such.
I’m moving on, this has been such a waste of time. I guess it’s what I get for staying home from Work sick.
Hey I spell “kat” with a K....
I am a multi head injury Pt. & my spelling leaves a lot to be desired...
Actually, you said "I dont think Romney had ANY Supporters in the Primaries at Free Republic. I dont recall seeing a one."
It turns out that you were a Romney primary support yourself, which makes your weird posts, even weirder.
As you said "I am one of many FReepers who supported Romney in the Primary to rid our Nation of the Marxist Usurper."
You then followed that with stating that you MIGHT vote republican if your man lost the nomination "I would have probably Voted for most any Republican in the General."
You yourself were an FR, Primary Romney supporter.
"I am one of many FReepers who supported Romney in the Primary"
You're confused. I never mentioned any year. I certainly never mentioned 2008. I said "primaries". As for me asking you if you drink in excess, that was a question. I did not accuse you of being an alcoholic. But your words make absolutely no sense. ZERO. No one here would expect anyone to keep a list. That's just a completely unreasonable request. I was looking for some logical explanation as to why you would ask such a thing, that was why I ASKED if you drank.
Look, I dont know you from Adam. I just read something that you Posted that I never saw on FR and wanted to know who you were talking about. Ill never make that mistake again my FRiend.
And when you saw Ansel chime in and say he, too, saw what I had seen, instead of accepting that perhaps it did indeed happen and you again asked for names. What makes you think we keep lists or retain names? I don't get that. Can you please explain that to me? Realizing now that you were speaking of the 2008 election cycle, you are expecting me to have a list from 8 years ago and you are expecting Ansel to remember names from then also. Do you really not see how unreasonable that is and how we would naturally react negatively to someone making such an inane request?
Again, you obviously have a problem with me asking you clarify a Comment YOU made
I have no problem at all with you asking me to clarify a thing. My problem lies with you making completely asinine requests like asking me for a list of names from threads that we now know you thought were 8 years old. Again, who would make then keep such a list? Do you?
You say you "give up". I give up trying to figure out why you make such a request. Please tell me why you would expect anyone to keep such a thing. I don't get it.
Actually no. I meant the General. Total Brain Fart if I typed Primary instead of General.
Sorry for the confusion.
Never supported Romney in the Primary, I was a Newt guy.
Oh what could have been.
Have a nice day.
I never found a need for lists. I have argued with the same Romney devotees so many times it got burned into memory. I can pretty much predict the conversation because they drag out the same lesser evil/no matter what excuses, ‘You support Obama/hate America” accusations and reinvent history and civics the same way every time.
I think it’s great that so many adults buck convention and are willing to play make believe/pretend, but there are plenty of parentless kids that would love a ‘big brother’ or sister to play those games with. It isn’t so beneficial when discussing politics at an adult level.
This is getting completely ludicrous.
I never “expected” you to have some sort a list. I just asked who you were referring to that backed Romney in the Primary. That’s it.
As far as the Year, since Romney only became the Republican Candidate in 2012, what other Year would we be discussing?
Well, my mistake of I didn’t realize you were discussing Romney before he actually was the Nominee. As I originally stated, I never read anything from any FReepers supporting Romney in the Primaries, that’s it.
I think this Horse is officially dead.
He damn sure was better then Obama. He just made himself a joke.
Let Mitt move to South Carolina and be a citizen there and participate.
None of his business.
South Carolina can make its own choices on that issue.
Mitt Romney... the ULTIMATE “OUT of TOUCH” politician of our time.
On which state’s capital grounds does the black panther flag fly?
