Crooks and Liars:
Romney: …And I’m not going to distance myself in any way from my faith. But you can see what I believed and what my family believed by looking at, at our lives. My dad marched with Martin Luther King.
Mitt Romney has defended his position on civil rights, in multiple high-profile settings, by insisting that his father marched with Martin Luther King during his tenure as governor of Michigan in the 1960s. Pressed for specifics, the Romney campaign pointed to an event that occurred in Grosse Point, Mich.
The claim appears to be false — Romney’s father did not march with King. Unfortunately, the campaign has come up with an unpersuasive defense.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said he watched his father, the late Michigan Gov. George Romney, in a 1960s civil rights march in Michigan with Martin Luther King Jr.
On Wednesday, Romney’s campaign said his recollections of watching his father, an ardent civil rights supporter, march with King were meant to be figurative.
“He was speaking figuratively, not literally,” Eric Fehrnstrom, spokesman for the Romney campaign, said of the candidate.
Next Mitt will say that his father was with Malcolm X in Mecca.

And the lies just keep on coming. First Rev. Huck uses the cross and now Mitt's make up story about MLK. Where the Republican Christian Base fooled again by Rev. Huck's message from God. Where African Americans fooled by Mitt's lie about his Dad walking with Dr. King. My grandmother always said it takes a good liar to remember the lie. It is sad that these candidates have to go so low as to lie on God and Dr. King to try and trick people for votes.
Now this is for Mr. Kitty and TGCN take a long look at how much Senator Obama hasn't help his State. I know he's got the hope and the right words but his voting record and attention for the problems of his State was been missing.
