Romney bullies gay kid while in high school

You know Obama planned this with his recent support of gay marriage. I wonder what the polls will look like the next few days.



Here's the article from the Washington Post. For the record I think both Romney's actions and the Post publishing this are pretty despicable.

Obama has his own bullying stories, which he recounts in his own books.



And of course Paul is a racist who published anti-black comments in his newsletter.

Still on that huh hawkwing? As I've said before while Romney was beating up gays Paul was delivering free health care to blacks and latinos in Houston.

This story on Romney is WAY over blown and much ado about nothing. It's based on grown men's, who oppose Romney's White House bid, recollections of events 50 years ago.

Of the three instances of "bullying" the only one not confirmed by the individuals one writing is the Romney one.

I agree but there are 4 witnesses to the event and as hawkwing points out, whether a person is guilty or not is irrelevant - all that matters is perception.

Here's my perception: The Obama campaign is trying to incorrectly change the perception that Mitt is somehow a very mean-spirited individual who is full of hate and animosity to all non-rich, Republican businessmen.



This is a cheap story based on decades old hearsay.

the Washington Post wrote the following about Stu White, a high school friend and classmate of Mitt Romney's, in reference to an alleged 1965 bullying incident involving of a fellow classmate:



“I always enjoyed his pranks,” said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney’s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and has long been bothered by the Lauber incident.



Today, however, in an interview with ABC News, the same Stu White completely contradicts the Washington Post story:



While the Post reports White as having “long been bothered” by the haircutting incident,” he told ABC News he was not present for the prank, in which Romney is said to have forcefully cut a student’s long hair and was not aware of it until this year when he was contacted by the Washington Post.Because Mr. White had not been aware of the incident until this year, it was inaccurate and misleading for the Washington Post to report he had "long been bothered" by the incident.

Nice journalism WaPo.

"What Ron Paul did 16 years ago as a 60 year old man is irrelevant--he's 'evolved'. I want to talk about what Romney did as a teen 50 years ago."



Sure buddy. Sure.

And what about the President finishing high school "in a daze", spending a lot of drinking and doing drugS?



But heaven forbid Mitt does some stupid pranks that he now regrets?

....according to questionable sources, including one who donates frequently to pro-gay marriage groups.....

Agreed. Dumb story.



Romney, I'm sure, is a great person. I just don't connect with him when it comes to what the government should and should not be doing.
