Here's the original text, which they have since edited, but the original story still remains on other news sites:

Quote:
"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. "But I was not the brunt of any of his pranks."
Classmates recall Romney's pranks — and darker incidents | Seattle Times Newspaper

Except Stu White knew nothing about the alledged hair cutting incident until he was called by the newspaper in 2012.

Quote:
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.
Oops. Will this be like the NBC "edit?" They weren't trying to lie, they just needed a few more words for the story and decided to make up 50 years of angst for someone who never even heard about it?

And the family of the man is very upset. His sister said she had never heard a word about this incident and cried when she read how the newspaper mischaracterized her dead brother:

Quote:
“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.

It's only the beginning of the left demonstrating their despicable characters. And yet, in the end, it will be President Romney in a landslide. And they all know it. We all know it.

The whole thing is yet another Team obama FAIL! This most "loved" president is going to get thrown out of office as one of the most hated presidents in American history. Even the crazed lefties here know it. It's why they're acting..."foolishly".

Here is the super funny part.

Evidently the Obama team had this story and had made the decision to hold it until right before the Republican convention. The intention there was to force republicans to get on this narrative during the convention instead of talking about the economy.

With the WaPo running it now, they have lost this as any real issue. And with the story having factual problems, and with the sister of the alleged victim having issues with the story itself, all this really does is hurt the liberal cause.

Way to go WaPo for getting this out so soon!

Also, everyone now see’s Obama for the dirty trickster he is.

Yes they did because "retractions" and "corrections" are usually buried on page 28 under a Walmart sales add and done in .02 font.
People remember headlines but never seem to read "corrections".

The left strains very hard to keep from discussing anything about the Obama record. We will have to get used to this kind of crap since they have no record to run on and have to pull out what they can.

Really when a man tells the story that he couldn't remember because he wasn't there when it reportedly happened.
