Mitt Romney bullying story holds up to scrutiny

[freedombecki]

Who gives a flying fuck?

HuffPosies do.

Most damning has been Mitt's lame ass stories. Earlier, I posted a link to Mitt saying he didnt remember and he also said he did know the victim was gay.

Really smells bad that he asked old classmates to lie for him.

It's bad enough that he's a pathologically liar. He can't even do it very well.

He's a jerk.

Dear God, now a murdered gay man's mother is blaming Romeny because he might have cut a classmate's long hair in 1965...............geeze Lakhota, can't you do any better than that???

"murdered"???

Who gives a flying fuck?

Clearly the wingnuts who are trying to kill this story.

Also Matthew Shepard's mother.

“While this may seem like an innocent prank to some, it was an act of torment against a child for being different,” Shepard said. Her son Matthew was kidnapped and brutally murdered in 1998. “We expect the people we elect to be leaders in the charge against bullying so that all students are afforded the right to learn and grow in an environment free of fear. This incident calls into question whether Mitt Romney can be an advocate for the nation’s most vulnerable children.”

Three of the four witnesses that stand by the story are hard leftists and the fourth works on the obama campaign. The fifth witness never heard of it until he heard of it in WaPo.

Seein Bush run for president is like watchin my daddy dragged to death all over again.

Does that sound familiar?

It was part of the democrat playbook when Bush was campaigning.

This Romney story went to hell in a hand basket when they interviewed the guys sister (the guy died in 2004) and she said she knew nothing about this incident growing up (you figure a sister would know if her brother was being bullied in school)...especially the hair cutting part (Im certain a sister would recognize this). According to her this is not true.

She also said her brother wasn't gay. She said he'd be really upset if he were here and heard this story. Funny how they chose a victim who is no longer here and can't give his side. They can say whatever they want with their mysterious witnesses. This is just an attempt to divert attention from Biden's gaffe forcing Obama to come out and make a decison on gay marriage.

Did Romney kill Matthew Shepard?
I thought it was Muslims?

Not a single person has denied the specific facts of the incident are incorrect.

No one claimed he did. Perhaps you ought to reread Shepard's mothers statement again.

The gay bulling story really doesn't matter. The people that are going to be pissed about it were never going to vote for Romney. As sad as it is, it probably raised another couple of million from the Christian Right that so desperately need a reason to vote and raise money for a Mormon. The President coming out in favor of Gay Marriage probably raised 50 Million from the Limbaugh crowd for Romney, so this just piles it on.

And the economy still stinks, people are still out of work and Obummer is pulling the rug out from under extended Unemployment benefits.....................Yea, keep trudging along Dems.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Anybody think Mitt has the balls to stand up for his religion tomorrow at the bible thumper college?

I think this is an important issue. So far, Mitt has weasled away from questions about Mormonism. Will he grow a pair? Or, will he throw his fellow norms under the bus because he'd rather get elected than than have any actual integrity. Will he tacitly agree with the course taught at Liberty that says Mormonism s a cult?

Will Mitt ever act like a man about any issue?

BTW, remember when Obama stood up, straight and tall and talked very openly and honestly about Rev Wright? Even if you're an Obama hater, at least he behaved like a man and faced the country.

When will Mitt do the same?

I have to agree with your assessment.

Sure it matters. In this election - everything matters!

...

The Post has received no specific complaint of inaccuracy from the Lauber family, Merida said. “We stand by the story. It’s a full portrait. It’s the story of Mitt Romney’s years at Cranbrook.”

What the media needs to do is vet Obama's past to the fullest. Everything seems to be turning out as a composite, like his girlfriends.

Like looking for his birth certificate, claiming he was enrolled in a Madrassa, claiming he was a Muslim. Grow the hell up, and show some intellectual honesty. The media went through Obama's past with a fine tooth comb, and came up with some really stupid tin foil theories in the process.

More fantasy NOVELS have been written about Obama's life than were ever published before. Face it, Romney seems boring by comparison.

Why does it matter?

The economy is still shitty. The President owns that now. The housing market collapsed during his last election cycle, so no matter what anyone's opinion is he owns it. I guarantee that Jimmy Carville's wife is in a room somewhere screaming at the entire RNC her husband's famous mantra, "Its the economy stupid." Now the President has pissed in the cheerios of every Pat Robertson nutbag by coming out in support of gay marriage. So everytime a televangelist says the word homosexual it is like a ATM machine for Romney. If Romney were to put Ron Paul on the ticket, he could take this thing in a landslide. The gay thing(the President supporting it and Romney hazing gays in high school) will bring the rabid right out in numbers that no one knew existed. Paul would bring the moderates that love him and shore up that middle ground that gives a shit about gay marriage and wants to end a war and start building at home. Romney/Paul would be dangerous. Won't happen, but it would be fun to watch.

At least two of them sold as alleged autobiographies.
