So We Are To Believe That Romney Did What???

[Why So Serious]

In high school Mitt Romney supposedly held a kid down with the help of four others and cut his hair. Because he was gay?

Mitt was born in 1947, assuming that one graduates high school at 18 that would make this incident take place no later than 1965. Let us assume that it was senior year and it was 1965. Who was gay in 1965. I graduated in 1980 and I can tell you that I never heard of a gay kid in my high school which was in the middle of Chicago. I find it extremely hard to believe that Mitt did what he did in the 1960s for the reason stated.

I will admit that at the park that I hung out at there were the "Greasers" [bear drinkers]and the "Freaks" [pot-heads]and it was not unheard of for a couple of Greasers to grab a Freak and cut his hair. But not because he was gay.

Let's focus more on the here and now. Does the guy that had his hair cut have a job, a house, and a pension?

On the less serious side, I would limit the presidential debates to Obama, Romney, and a pair of scissors.

In 1965 “Gay” still meant mirthful and carefree.

I don’t ever remember anyone being bullied because of being homo or “strange”.

The school toughs always chose weaker kids to bully who were not able or allowed by their parents to fight back.

His family has this to say about the reports of Romney bullying Lauder in the media: ““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.”

Why aren't we talking about Hussein's dismal record? The devaluation of the dollar....unemployment....budget/housing crisis, etc.

The LSN are shills for Hussein ...as someone on Fox said last night....they are *stenographers* for him.

I found the perfect campaign song for Romney

XTC - Scissor Man

Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the
scissor man
Putting end to evil doers games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the
scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names

So be kind and helpful to your mother
Just think twice before you try and steal
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers
You may find the wounds will never heal

All self made bad boys
If you refuse to believe he exist
You won’t be frightened when you find out
You’re on his list
You’re on his list
You’re on his list

So be good and never poison people
Just think twice before the deed is done
When you wake up guilty in the morning
You may find important pieces gone

the funniest correction I have ever received, thanks for the laugh

[RedMDer]

He went on to Congress.

****Certainly many gays have recounted such harassment in school from that era.****

And more people who were NOT GAY were also bullied and harassed.
Reasons: Poor (no money) student, physically weak, new to the school, No family heritage in the area (Your pappy and grandpappy wasn’t born here), beat up jut for the hell of it or to prove the beater is tougher than you.

“Whose tongue is that?”

I think it belongs to Barney Frank

I got bullied in Junior High for being a “Band Fag”. Yeah well a funny thing happens to drummers when they get to High School. They have a Rock Band. And what do Rock bands attract? GIRLS! and Beer!

The first thing that I thought of was that I never heard the term gay in high school during the 60’s.

Until April 9, 1974, when they caved to an intense and vicious organized campaign of deceit and intimidation, the American Psychiatric Association generally considered sexual desires toward members of one’s own gender to be disordered.

So now we have a bogus event/story that Romney apologized for, that will be the next story - why did he apologize for something that didn’t happen.

[Ditter]

OMG! gunner...... please tell me that is not you french kissing that bear!

[dfwgator]

why did he apologize for something that didn’t happen.

Romney ain't exactly to sharpest tool in the shed.

It was 1965 when homosexuality was sometimes called “The love that dare not speak it’s name” as opposed to now when it’s “The love that won’t shut the hell up.”

[therightliveswithus]

That’s okay, we’ll just have a look at Obama’s transcripts

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“You are right. There was a “Q” word used and I thought it meant someone was strange.”

If you mean queer for the “Q” word, we also used it as someone who was strange but nothing sexual...like the word pansy...but then, pansy had the meaning of someone who was non masculine do to no guts.

Romney returned a library book a week late.

All the major media will hunt down the librarian and how she was scarred for life. And (the horrors) the person who wanted to check that book out had to wait. Still in therapy over that.

Next, Romney didn’t put the toilet seat down.

Yeah I do believe it will get this silly.

[Tallguy]

Agreed. There were no openly homosexual kids in my high school either. Years ago, this subject was not talked about. Nowadays, in this “Glee” generation, it’s actually cool among some to say you are gay or “bi-sexual”, but not years ago. So it’s hard to believe that Romney and the guys were expressing “homophobia” and all that.

When I was in public schools there were weaker kids that were the victims of bullying. I suspect that many of today's potential targets for bullying may declare themselves "Gay" because they know the school will take extra pains to protect them. That and the "cool kids" who watch "Glee" might think better of slightly better of them. Protected status. Plus it all goes down easier with the campaign to confuse adolescents about their sexual roles.
