Did I say censorship?
No, but you know full well that Romney’s family has a history of fighting for Civil Rights. That was the environment he was raised in.

This NYT article falsely paints Romney into a blanket group damnation based on a belief of his Church almost 40 years ago.

It is dishonest at best.

And you expected this election to be softball?

Even that statement has nothing to do with the article, still prove sources to what we fully know.

Please...provide some source links providing this information. I have never seen it.

I HAVE seen this before though.

*************************************

While running for Senate in 1994, Romney said during debate against Sen. Edward Kennedy that he believes "abortion should be safe and legal in this country."

"I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US Senate candidate," Romney said. During his 2002 campaign for Massachusetts governor, Romney cited his mother again as the inspiration for supporting a women's right to chose, a stance no longer holds.

"She had very strong personal beliefs about what decision she would make for herself and her family, but she also made it clear that a woman should have the right to chose," Romney said in a debate during his gubernatorial run. "I have held that view consistently."

While Lenore Romney did not express full-fledged support for legalizing abortion, which was a felony offense during her 1970 Senate run, she pushed for "more liberal abortion rights" and ''greatly expanded programs of providing adequate family planning services."

Thirty four years isn’t almost 40, and Romney was a 31 year old priest and business executive, son of a Bishop and presidential candidate, when God changed his mind on blacks.

What we don’t know is how many black Mormon draftees died in Vietnam?

The Mormon church could issue it’s own draft deferments to white elites of power and privilege, as it did to Mitt Romney, son of a wealthy Governor, BUT NOT ONE SINGLE BLACK MORMON RECEIVED A MORMON DRAFT DEFERMENT.

How many black Mormons were drafted and died in Vietnam, while white Mormons were protected?
