WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney on Thursday countered the notion that he bullied high school classmates and insisted he didn't know some were gay.

The Republican presidential candidate apologized to anyone he may have offended by what he said were "hijinks and pranks during high school." His comments in a hastily arranged radio interview followed a Washington Post report Thursday that he had held down classmate John Lauber and cut off his bleached blond hair when they were classmates at a prestigious boarding school in the wealthy Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Actually “Coretta” is a montage of a bunch of girls Obama bullied.

Does anyone know anything about what Obama did in high school?

Wouldn't be surprised if he did some (illicit) drugs. I'd be shocked if even the WaPo will accuse Romney of that.

What a coincidence that this would come out the same day as Obama endorses gay marriage. What are the odds?

Notion?

Is that what they're calling made-up news now?

Not charge, accusation, but notion?

Mitt didn’t know he was gay, he just thought he was poor. LOL

Romney had better stop trying to address his past, especially his youth. Keep talking about the issues not the personnel things attributed to him by Axelrod and gang and the MSM.

Right, Romney cut off some guys blah, blah, blah, who cares. What is that unemployment rate again? What is that price of gas?

Exactly....for one moment I was thinking Romney maybe turning the corner, and then he had to bring me back to reality.

They actually state that Romney shouted ‘Ata Girl’ to a classmate that came out of the closet years after he graduated high school.
‘Atta Girl’ is Hate Speech!

Wow! they are really reaching now.

I went to a prep school, day school/ parochial school, and we where always doing all kinds of goofy stuff.

As a matter of fact, if your hair was too long, the Dean of Men had boys hold you down while HE cut your hair. With clippers. ZIf they had a problem with it, their parents could take their kids to another school.

The Dean of Men also had a paddle with holes in it. You could always choose detention or a swat from the paddle.

Are they serious?

Obama comes out foursquare for changing the word marriage and the next day the Washington Post does an expose of Mitt Romney as 16 year old gay basher/bully extroadinaire.

Anybody still buying the bs that Biden forced Obama’s hand?

Won’t be long now before we find out how many kids Barack turned on to cocaine and pot which resulted in lifelong addictions, right Washington Post?

LOL. What male over 30 years old didn’t play smear the queer?

The dog was not gay. It is rumored that he was transsexual. It is believed that he was castrated in a botched sex change operation.

Unlike Mitt, Neidermeyer actually served in the military.
