Romney Flag gaffe?
by Carl Cameron
The Confederate flag debate may fascinate the liberal media elite outside South Carolina but in the Palmetto state it’s simply not a big deal. What could be is Mitt Romney autographing an AMERICAN FLAG?!?!?!
Romney aides say he signed a shirt with an American Flag pattern…good thing cause
If he had used a sharpie on the Star Spangled Banner he could have had a whole new flag controversy all to himself.

Way to go, Carl… Good deflection from Huckabee’s Confederate Flag Gaffe, making it into a Romney Flag Gaffe!?!?!? The Huckabee Confederate flag gaffe is more than a liberal elite media fascination, his unwillingness to coment on it is disgusting to anyone who is not a bigot. And it may become more of a big deal than you are willing to admit. More of the same Huckabee cheerleading!
Ok, have I got this right…….it’s ok for some low-life elements to burn the American flag but its’ not ok for a contender for the presidency to sign his name on an American flag which is the personal property of a probably honorable American citizen? The same looney left wackos that praised burning the flag as a “free speech” right will come unglued about this innocous event.
Carl Cameron,
You clearly just couldn’t wait to get this “explosive” bit of news up on your site! In fact, you didn’t even wait to get the true story before you posted this article and picture.
All day yesterday, the article left everyone assuming that Romney actually did autograph an American flag. Why not bother to get his explanation before posting the article, like a “fair and balanced” journalist would do?
Obviously, nobody with half a brain would autograph an American flag. Especially someone running for the President of the United States.
This is a non-story Carl, you can take it down now, or just keep hoping it might convince someone not to vote for Romney. Your bias is just becoming ridiculous!
MITT ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Back off Carl. The Media needs to work on reporting the issues so that the voters can make an informed decision. Oh, and talk about bias, your reported on thursday that Bernanke and Pres Clinton were coming up with a economic plan. Bush is the president not Clinton and heaven help us all if we have to re-live the clinton years.
There is no story, here. How about reporting on how many American jobs were lost in construction to illegals in South Carolina? How much has their insurance spiked and income fallen because of them? Why are you hiding the real issues and playing games with this election and our future, Carl?
Please Carl – use a little research first before posting. Bush did this back in ‘03. Huckabee is out there signing Bibles for crying out loud!
I’ll give you a comment. Why don’t you get off your anti-Romney horse? Enough already.
Why don’t you write something about how Romney *and* Ron Paul just took McAmnesty to the woodshed in NV–a state with 20% more delegates than SC.
Did you see the photo of Huckabee signing a Bible?

“liberal media elite”
I forget: are you still pretending to be a journalist, or are you now openly a partisan cheerleader?
[...] No, he didn’t burn it, but Mitt Romney did write his name on it. [...]
if fox news had any b—’s, they would remove Cameron from covering the primaries, just reading the comments from viewers, should give fows news some concerns that they will not be number one if this keeps up, I fore one will give up on fox news
There is a definite anti-Romney bias at Fox News. That has really surprised me. This morning Cameron’s report on Florida’s upcoming primary repeatedly talked about John McCain, Rudy Guiliani, Thompson, a few words on Huckabee and NOTHING on Romney. Fair and balanced?? Pitiful and unbalanced. The true loser in this election cycle may be Fox News, because even CNN has done detailed and credible stories on delegate count, etc. and even MSNBC has discussed delegate counts, an election unlike any other, etc. and given decent levels of coverage to Romney along with the other candidates. SAD!!
Romney’s signing things shoved at him in a crowd of supporters is hardly a story for him endorsing anything. In the demanding environment of campaign rallies, he is not studying or reading anything; Romney is merely accomodating a supporter’s request for her historical souvenir.
I am distressed by Fox News apparently dismissing Mitt Romney—not a proper explanation of the flag issue, and just now Carl Cameron not even mentioning Romney in his assesment of the Florida race. They made such a big deal about McCain winning South Carolina, but none about Romney winning Nevada. Somehow, Nevada was a big deal for the Democrats, but not for the Republicans. Romney has more delegates that all of the other Republicans. Where is the “fair and balanced”? I am a resident of Michigan, and Romney is the first candidate to acknowledge that Michigan is in, and has been, in economic distress for some time. Yes, Romney has money, which you remind the viewers over and over again, but he is spending it on trying to acquire a position where he could help this country immensely with his business accume. I have been a loyal fan of Fox News, and hate to think that bias could exist.
