Mitt Romney bullying story holds up to scrutiny

LOL

This is only the beginning of Dog Eating Obama most Negative Campaign in American history

A perfect example of the moral bankruptcy of wingnut Republicans: decrying the illumination of an incident from Bishop Romney's childhood, while attacking an incident from Obama's childhood.

The difference? Obama wasn't responsible for the food he was given when he was a child, while Bishop Romney was the organizing leader of the wilding gang that attacked this fellow student.
 
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.

You're a liar.

Mitt Romney’s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents - The Washington Post

The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another. Four of them — Friedemann, now a dentist; Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer; Thomas Buford, a retired prosecutor; and David Seed, a retired principal — spoke on the record. Another former student who witnessed the incident asked not to be identified. The men have differing political affiliations, although they mostly lean Democratic. Buford volunteered for Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008. Seed, a registered independent, has served as a Republican county chairman in Michigan. All of them said that politics in no way colored their recollections.

White wasn't used as a source for the particulars of the incident.
 
...

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.[/QUOTE]

What is it you hope to find that hasn't been found? He's been president for three years. What's left?
 
I guess the Obama folks are trying to even the playing field. Americans already KNOW that Obama is a bully.

Speaking of which, can't wait to see what private investigators find out on Obama donors.
 
The truth is, Republicans feel gays should be attacked. They feel the gays deserve it. Because they're gay. They withhold job protections from gays. They want them out of the military. They don't want gays to have a family or get married. They just want the gays gone or dead.

Speaking of donors, I saw on the news that the majority of the 15 million that Obama got from Clooney's bash came from a lottery of "little people" like me who bought raffle tickets. A few were picked to go to the event and sit with the stars.

Look at the Koch brothers and others of that ilk giving millions. Romney isn't getting money from the Republican base. They don't have any. Many of them are on food stamps.

Mitt Romney&rsquo;s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents - The Washington Post

He came out as gay to his family and close friends and led a vagabond life, taking dressage lessons in England and touring with the Royal Lipizzaner Stallion riders. After an extreme fit of temper in front of his mother and sister at home in South Bend, he checked into the Menninger Clinic psychiatric hospital in Topeka, Kan. Later he received his embalmer’s license, worked as a chef aboard big freighters and fishing trawlers, and cooked for civilian contractors during the war in Bosnia and then, a decade later, in Iraq. His hair thinned as he aged, and in the winter of 2004 he returned to Seattle, the closest thing he had to a base. He died there of liver cancer that December.

He kept his hair blond until he died, said his sister Chris. “He never stopped bleaching it.”

Oh really? The boy came out of the closet and that is why Mitt and his friends cut some hippie's hair? :doubt:


Mitt said being GAY was the farthest thing from his mind at the time... You all keep lying and claiming they chased him and cut his hair BECAUSE he was gay yet he came out of the closet to his family WHEN exactly...? The family who recalls absolutely nothing of the event which is undocumented by the school... :eusa_whistle:



Now this is just silly. The Washington Post can’t be bothered to worry about Barack Obama’s college years, college transcripts, communist friends, cocaine use, or cop-killing plotters in whose living room he first launched his major political career, but they can get in the really way back machine to 1965 and Mitt Romney’s high school years.

Mitt Romney cut a hippy’s hair at his preparatory high school. A day after Barack Obama caved on gay marriage, the Washington Post “coincidentally” says Mitt Romney cut the hair of a boy who “was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality

Let’s leave out the fact that the kid who got his haircut was subsequently thrown out of school for smoking one cigarette, but we’re to believe that the assailants of his hair, witnessed by many, were ignored. Oh, and the guy who got is hair cut never, ever, ever mentioned it, including to family, and died in 2004 so it can’t be verified. But a handful of students who now probably support Barack Obama have a crystal clear memory of events from 50 years ago. The people who were adults at the time of the incident and still alive have no memory of it, but remember Romney and said he was never a disciplinary problem.

Gotta give Deanie credit, though it took D.T. to give the proof.

I have to give something "proof" that's all over the news and on the Internet? Sweetie, you need to do a little more reading than message boards. Ever notice how few right wingers post links, yet they always want "proof". Except when it comes to their loony notions.

If Romney made fun of other students and led a visually impaired teacher into a door so he could laugh at the teacher, you can bet the hair cut wasn't "spur of the moment". I'm sure Romney tortured this kid daily. That's what bullies do.

Then you have six big guys, remember, these were 17 and 18 year old young men. They grab this scrawny kid and hold him down. I suspect "not gently" and then, the leaders comes after him with a pair of scissors and cuts his hair off. You know he wasn't "gentle". The kid was screaming for help. I suspect he was "terrified". Probably even worse than Mitt's dog.

Conservatives don't have empathy. They think that if this small scrawny kid can't fight off six big guys, then he MUST be weak.

Wow. You sound like a pretty awful person.
 
I am not one to question Obama's birth certificate or even his college/post grad grades. Hell, I don't even wonder why he was made head of the law review, despite never publishing. He didn't while at U of C either, really weird, but not asking.

Now you all wish to rehash 'bullying,' which Obama already wrote about himself? The victim is dead, his family said that he'd oppose this being used politically. You all know better.

Careful what you wish for...

I didn't make that claim, nor did the Post. You made a false claim that he wasn't gay. Here's how Mitt's friends recall their motive:

Mitt Romney&rsquo;s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents - The Washington Post

Mitt Romney returned from a three-week spring break in 1965 to resume his studies as a high school senior at the prestigious Cranbrook School. Back on the handsome campus, studded with Tudor brick buildings and manicured fields, he spotted something he thought did not belong at a school where the boys wore ties and carried briefcases. John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now he was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t having it.

“He can’t look like that. That’s wrong. Just look at him!” an incensed Romney told Matthew Friedemann, his close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm, according to Friedemann’s recollection. Mitt, the teenage son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber’s look, Friedemann recalled.

A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school’s collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber’s hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.

That Red State article is also bullshit. Those moron's make it sound like it was the only story in the paper yesterday. BTW, they spiked it for a day before putting it in the print edition to check out some of the facts. That was good, since it gave White a chance to clarify his earlier statement.
