Bully story a black eye for Mitt Romney
"Straight-laced and squeaky clean Mitt Romney
must show he’s not the teen bully critics now say he was,
if he hopes to limit the damage from a published report
on his prep school days that paints him
as a cruel and possibly homophobic prankster
who once pinned a vulnerable schoolmate down
and cut his bleached-blond locks
....
Republican consultant John Feehery called
the Washington Post report “troubling”
for Romney’s presidential bid....
“For independents, it’s a troubling story.
... They don’t like bullies, and anti-bullying has
become a issue on the national stage,”
“In the context of a close election,
little things like this can matter,”
Romney, in a hastily arranged radio interview yesterday,
..... said he did not remember the alleged Lauber incident.
“I participated in a lot of hijinks and pranks
during high school and some may have gone too far...."
Romney told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade.
....
Some of Romney’s prep-school pals
said they were stunned by the Post report."

Kinda late to the party aren’t cha?
Being the WAPO is already retracting.
Even without notice.
Now, about that Obama bullying ‘fat nerdy black girl’ story
, just didn’t see your post on that one?
So Backstabber Romney APOLOGIZED for an alleged
incident which, you claim, "did not happen".
Romney is clearly delusional.
Weaving tales of horesh1t from the azzes of unicorns.
Whoopty-dam-do.
At least people knew him when he was a kid, here in the states, unlike, unlike the halfrican in the white house that no one knows anything about.
From the Palin children to every GOP conservative,
Romney has left a trail of assaulted bodies in his wake.
And the Kenyan snorted cocaine in high school and very likely dealt some. Lets compare.
too late....unless you can change things at the convention...
....How about zer0bummer EATING DOGS!
Pretty obvious that Biden's over-the-skis blurtation on Sunday led to Zero's premature evolution on Wednesday. That in turn meant that the trigger got pulled on the Romney bullying-homophobe WaPo story before it could be vetted at all - even by MSM standards.
Of course it's all fake but accurate. The Romney folks need to counter now before the bully meme gets set.
Exactly. I am constantly surprise at the number of people I talk with who believe that Sara actually said she could see Russia from here front porch. Unless countered forcefully it has a way of becoming fixed in the public memory.
Good point.
However, even though the Undocumented Imam has
probably had his team murder anyone getting
in the way of exposing his fake documents
(including witnesses and Coroner, recently),
the MSM will never cover it in our lifetime.
The MSM WILL COVER the bully meme re: Romney.
Amazing, isn't it? The Washington Post has to go back to high school to find dirt on Romney (he bullied a gay kid. Boo hoo...) but they can't bother even to look for a former girlfriend of Obama's so they make up a "composite" one. LOL!
And in other news...Romney kicked his mother while still in the womb! What a bully.
It appears the family of the “victim” are offended by the story and don’t stand by it. Interesting that the family was never contacted as a source .
Reagan could NOT even beat Ford in 1976!
Obama hit a girl in High School.
The “bullies” in America are the leftists running the Democrat Party and the media supporting them.
True story...
