Willard Romney speaks out courageously against right-wing hate and violence.

Ooops, wait. Excuse me. I'm going to have to etch-a-sketch this thread title. It should have read: Willard Romney remains silent in the wake of right-wing Republican hate and violence.

2. funny

how quick Romney was to voice his opinion on the aurora shooting,And how telling is his silence now.

Another poster put up an article from the onion saying michelle bachmann said she was glad no americans were harmed..that joke article should be about Romney.

3. "It's not the action I would have taken"

4. Has Romney even weighed in on the shootings at all?

[democrat_patriot]

5. It would make a nice video: "Does he have any opinions at all?"

Limbaugh's hate speech "Not something I would have said..."

Birtherism: Crickets.

Any of the number of racist remarks made against the President: White noise.

And on and on and on.....

6. He spoke out this morning: "appears the shooter was "motivated by hate"

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. — Mitt Romney says the shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin is "tragic" and has asked for prayers for those who were killed.

The Republican presidential candidate opened a campaign event near Chicago on Tuesday by asking for a moment of silence. He said it appears the shooter was "motivated by hate" and that Sikhs are peaceful and loving.

Romney said he is praying for the six worshippers who were killed and for those who are mourning the loss of loved ones.

7. Did he say anything about right wing Repubbies needing to cool it?

Like, maybe right-wing Republicans should embrace Christ's teachings on love?

Did he acknowledge his party's cultivation of hate, and then denounce that.

Did he say anything even remotely like that?

Did he show any leadership at all? Did he talk about how America is a land that embraces all races and religions, even including ones like Sikhism and Mormonism that many claiming to be Christians might find strange. Or did he just label the incident as "tragic" and then change the subject?

9. Nope, just stated the obvious.

14. But but but

he had a moment of silence.

Of course he is always silent on these matters because he is afraid to anger his racist base.
