Romney: I Marched With MLK

People across the blogosphere have been documenting the bizarre excuses Romney has been throwing out there to explain his statement that his dad marched together with Martin Luther King.

First, he says he didn't literally "see" it. Second, he says they weren't literally "together." But somewhere and sometime, there was a march. Somewhere and sometime, there was Martin Luther King. And somewhere and sometime, there was his father.

But now, it appears, he also claimed quite a while back to have actually marched with King personally. From the Boston Globe:

Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: "My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit."

Yesterday, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom acknowledged that was not true. "Mitt Romney did not march with Martin Luther King," he said in an e-mail statement to the Globe.

There's a man from Texas calling in to Air America radio right now, telling Sam Seder that because of Howard Dean's 50-state strategy, their district has four people working for the elections to defeat Republicans that they would not otherwise have had.

Thank you, Howard!

That's nice, Shelley ! I am sure Howard will be pleased.

btw, Dems, I am digging out a pair of my husband's size 12 flip flops, and going to mail them to the Romney campaign !!! I don't think there is one thing that comes out of this man's mouth that is not an outright lie, or a flip flop on issues !

That's nothing. Huckabee will probably claim he's personally walked with Jesus. And the fundies will challenge us to prove he's wrong just like creationism.

Actually, his father did march with MLK. Multiple eyewitness accounts have come forth to verify that is did occur in the past several days.

Google it.
