politics and politicians Title: Mitt Romney Demands Removal of Confederate Flag in SC, "a symbol of racial hatred" Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney has called for an immediate removal of the confederate flag at the South Carolina Capitol in the wake of the church massacre.
"Take down the #ConfederateFlag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor #Charleston victims," Romney tweeted at 8:09AM this morning. Romney's tweet has garnered 7,384 rewteets and 6,427 Favorites.
Take down the #ConfederateFlag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor #Charleston victims.— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) June 20, 2015 Heaven weeps again today, this time for God's children killed in His Charleston house of prayer.— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) June 18, 2015
Last year, a black man flying a confederate flag was arrested for living in a national forest, proving multiple politically correct stereotypes about the flag and its' history incorrect.
Romney's tweet was re-tweeted by Mia Farrow, the left-wing actress whi also echoed sentiments to 'take down that flag' and ban 'assault weapons.' (Perhaps Romney has finally found his niche, and a constituency that will vote for him next time?)

To: Deckard, GrandIsland (#0) Why are Republicans defending the Confederate flag? The Republican party made its bones killing Confederates waving that flag and sang songs about doing so. Are you all admitting you are former Dixie-crats that became Republicans as part of Nixon's southern strategy to steal away segregationist White Democrats in the south?
"The Union forever! Hurrah boys hurrah! Down with the traitor, up with the star, And we're marching for the flag, boys, We will rally once again Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!"
#6. To: Pericles (#5) Why are Republicans defending the Confederate flag? The same reason we defend the American flag. It is the flag or our people and culture. The South wasn't wrong about everything. Slavery was instituted under the United States of America's flag.
#7. To: A K A Stone (#6) (Edited) he same reason we defend the American flag. It is the flag or our people and culture. No. You are wrong. The Confederate flag is the flag of treason and of traitors who killed more Americans than Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini and Bin Laden combined. Defeating that flag is the raison d'être for the party of Lincoln. Are you all admitting you are former Dixie-crats that became Republicans as part of Nixon's southern strategy to steal away segregationist White Democrats in the south? Is that what composes the main elements of the post Nixon GOP?
#8. To: Pericles (#7) The Confederate flag is the flag of treason and of traitors who killed more Americans than Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini and Bin Laden combined. Can you tell me what the treason was? Was the Declaration of Independence also treason? Did I hear you correctly that Lincolns Army killed more Americans the Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini and Bin Laden combined? Oh that isn't what you said but it is true. Since we're picking virtue by who killed the most/least. Who killed more Americans the North or the South?
#9. To: A K A Stone (#8) Can you tell me what the treason was? Are you saying this as a Republican? See, you are missing the point. I don't care if you think this but you can't think this and be a Republican. The GOP is the anti-Confederate party. You can't be pro Republican and pro-Southern Confederate.
Replies to Comment # 9. pro Republican and pro-Southern Confederate. I think both sides were comprised of good and bad people. I don't hate Lincoln. I don't know enough about him. I never will. I don't hate the Southerners either. I notice today when go to the South. They are generally a whole lot more polite and friendly then my northern neighbors. I love the people of the South.
