Romney once assaulted a classmate at school for being 'different'(read: gay looking)

[Phokus]

YES!

Here, check out the white-African:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/05/10/Obama-High-School-Drugs

What the hell does that link about Obama have anything to do with the Post supposedly lying about 5 people they interviewed. Not even your original Breitbart article said that.

Well, since I'm liberal, and per my original statement I'm not concerned about this, your statement that this is "more important to the libs" is clearly non-factual; since I'm damned sure you haven't met every lib in the country or gotten their opinion or statement concerning this topic. But thanks for playing.

Interesting.

Just out of curiosity, what do you support that makes you a Liberal?

Thanks.

As a candidate, having the media on your side is very powerfull. There has been virtually no vetting of Obama whatsoever but the media can dig up stories from the middle of the last century on someone running against him?

Let's see that same media come up with Obama's college transcripts for just one example. Never gonna happen.

One thing is certain, if they need to dig this deep to try and besmirch Romney, they're worried. I also get great joy watching the simple minds that lap this stuff up and regurgitate it on command. It's like watching fourth graders argue. You find it hard to believe that your own thought processes were once that minimal.

Nothing, but this thread is not about the Post lying, now is it?

this ^^^^^

This Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle, and his sycophants in the MSM will do anything to get the focus off the failures of this white-African that occupies the White House.


Please stop referring to President Obama as "this white-African." Consider this your one warning.

I look forward to seeing how upset you get when this country re-elects "This Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle."

Is arbitrary capitalization something people of your generation practiced? I find it just bizarre.

The capitalization is correct.

What would I do if this Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle, is re-elected? Good question. Hopefully I will not have to make a decision on that.

p.s., The main "witness" of the Post story admits he was not even there and witnessed nothing. LOL!

I want to know what this Administration plans to do to bring jobs and the economy back.

The guy that said he witnessed Romney assaulting the other "gay" kid wasn't even going to that school...and the sister of the "victim" said her brother had never mentioned anything like this ever having happened to him...

Thanks for the clarification and I agree....it is all falling apart.

Most social issues I lean liberal; as in I support change for the betterment of society and people.

Financially I'm fairly conservative; although living in a country whose economy is ~64% based on consumer spending, being too financially conservative has it's drawbacks.

In both cases I think governments/legislators should strive to create laws/regulations that do the most amount of good without overburdening the system with ill effects. Effects of laws and regulations can be foreseen to a certain extent; which needs to be considered when creating them. As well, there's nothing wrong with revisiting a law/regulation after it's implementation within a given time frame and examining any ill effects it might have produced and tweaking it for better effect.

When/if this story is researched by non-partisan newspapers or media, let us know. After the ACORN and Sherrod fiasco's; anything reported by breitbart.com is suspect. And the fact that WP corrected it's own story does not make the entire story false.

Victims often repress memories of situations that were unpleasant, not too surprising that in the late 60s a brother would not tell his sister of this situation.

Thank you.

I have a disagreement with your idea that government is there to take care of us, but.........

I loved this:

...there's nothing wrong with revisiting a law/regulation after it's implementation within a given time frame and examining any ill effects it might have produced and tweaking it for better effect.

What a great idea! I support that initiative being added to all legislation. Make a review of legislation at say a five year point and a ten year point, mandatory and part of the law.

I don't care if this story is true or not. Why? It tells me nothing of why I'm concerned about this election.

Besides that there are no unbiased new outlets. Not one. They all have an agenda. The Post has an agenda. That of getting Obama re-elected. That's quite obvious.

The Washington Post originally reported that Stu White (Romney's high school friend) as having “long been bothered” by the haircutting incident. White told ABC News yesterday that he not present for the prank and was not aware of it until this year when he was contacted by the Washington Post.

John Lauber's older sister (Betsy) said she has no knowledge of any bullying incident involving her brother and Romney. Betsy says “The family of John Lauber is releasing a statement saying the portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda. There will be no more comments from the family”

The plot thickens.

I worry that obama's camp is going going to blow all their wads too soon. Come election time there will be nothing left to discuss other than stuff like the economy, jobs, deficits, etc.

 

[PokerGuy]

I notice how you inserted the word "embellished" in there without the slightest reason to back it up. Nice touch.

I light of recent developments, I had to pull this earlier post back as a reminder to show wolfe why I put that in there. This being an election year, I fully expect the main stream media to be in full obama adoration mode and smear Romney mode. Anything from the msm is to be treated as suspect.

The turd in time becomes fertilizer. By next year all folk with defective brains will know that if you haven't been a sociopath in your youth, you shouldn't be President. Socio-pathology is good. It builds character. It's what you need to stand up to communists and criminals and other social evils.

At least now I know that Romney apologized for something that never happened, because, well because I guess, that even though he couldn't remember, he assumes it might have happened. He is, after all, a wild and funny guy.

The work of brilliant conservatives is to thicken up any plot so that those with weaker minds and true believers won't lose faith. If somebody doesn't come along and throw shit on the obvious, folks are liable, in time, to see they believe in lies. It's the same thing with intelligent design. Just knowing it's intelligent is all that fools need.

I talked to Karl Rove about this and he told me that what really happened is that when Romney saw the blond hair and the effeminate nature he felt lust for the guy and came while he did the haircut. Fits the conservative homophobia thingi but hard to believe if Karl Rove hadn't vouched for it.

Not me. I worry that Romney is such an asshole that people will believe anything anybody says about him and not notice that he's gay.

My point wasn't whether or not the incident happened (it may have)...it's to point out a major credibility issue with the WaPo "researcher" who wrote the article. What other 'facts' did she get wrong? But hey, it was a pretty damn weak hit piece to begin with...even if the embellished "facts" were true.

 

[boomerang]

More bullshit from the lamestream media and more defensive posturing by their faithful followers.

Important issues are still in play if and when the juveniles that are on the left decide to quit pursuing dogs and bogus anti-gay bullshit.

I really hate to see so many get dragged down to the same intellectual level as those that take everything their media says as gospel. The dumbing down of the nation is rolling along at a frantic pace.

What recent development? That Breitbart.com says that one of five witnesses to the incident didn't actually witness it? What was Romney apologizing about then? If this incident has been embellished as you claim, why isn't he setting the record straight?

That Breitbart piece is absurd BTW. The Post article never said White witnessed the incident. It said he had "long been bothered by it." They corrected it to say he had only been bothered by it for a few weeks since he found out about it. In fact, the article identified the witnesses and did not claim White as a witness.

Also, Breitbart.com claims that the Post article implies that Lauber's life was ruined by the incident. However, the article says no such thing. It says only that Lauber told someone in the 1980's that he had never forgotten the incident.

Gotta love the right-wing echo chamber. Yeah sure, Romney apologized for something that never happened.
