Why Did Mitt Romney Choose the Henry Ford Museum to Announce his Candidacy?

Seeing Mitt Romney campaigning in Michigan today reminded me of his strange decision to announce his candidacy at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

To be fair, people of Romney’s age were brought up believing that Henry Ford was one of America’s greatest citizens. Since then however, the real truth of Henry Ford has been revealed. Henry-Ford.org is a good place to start to find out who the auto pioneer really was. There are plenty of books on the subject if you’re sceptical of internet information.

There is a reason Henry Ford bought the Dearborn Independent newspaper to spread the lies of the Protocols of Zion. There is a reason that Henry Ford is the only American mentioned in Mein Kampf. There is a reason he received Germany’s highest honor, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle on his 75th birthday. There is a reason Hitler had a life-size portrait of Ford behind his desk. Henry Ford was one of the world’s great anti-Semites and wanted to see every last Jew exterminated.

This must be known by someone as well-versed as Romney. There can be no excuse for using the Henry Ford museum as a backdrop to his candidacy, except perhaps that Romney is seriously uneducated, willfully ignorant, or extremely tolerant of racists like Henry Ford and the legacy they’ve left.
