As the article says, George Romney was governor of Michigan at the time Mitt took part in this rally; within a year or two, George had a change of heart and spoke out against the war. He excused his previous position by using (metaphorically, one can presume) the term “brainwashed.” This was widely ridiculed and caused him to fall from the ranks of GOP favorites for the 1968 nomination.
I think it may also help explain why Mitt is being so damn careful in what he says during this campaign. He has some experience with the press, indeed.
