Eric EricKson of RedState just sent this e-mail to his subscribers of which I am one:
"Some times the news cannot wait for tomorrow morning. There is a big story out there right now and it needs your immediate attention. The Washington Post can’t be bothered to worry about Barack Obama’s college years, college transcripts, communist friends, cocaine use, or cop-killing plotters in whose living room he first launched his major political career, but they can get in the really way back machine to 1965 and Mitt Romney’s high school years."
Mitt Romney cut a hippy’s hair at his preparatory high school. A day after Barack Obama caved on gay marriage, the Washington Post “coincidentally” says Mitt Romney cut the hair of a boy who “was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality.” Let’s leave out the fact that the kid who got his haircut was subsequently thrown out of school for smoking one cigarette, but we’re to believe that the assailants of his hair, witnessed by many, were ignored. Oh, and the guy who got his hair cut never, ever, ever mentioned it, including to family, and died in 2004 so it can’t be verified. But a handful of students who now probably support Barack Obama have a crystal clear memory of events from 50 years ago. The people who were adults at the time of the incident and still alive have no memory of it, but remember Romney and said he was never a disciplinary problem."
your past is your past you still have to admit to it and be done with it.
romney should just apologize and be done with it.
he can justify it if he wants but that type of bullying cannot really be justified.
I see many Romney supporters are well known bullies when in high school.
well maybe you can justify yourself as well as fellow bullies in high school as well.
US Ron Paul supporters seem to be more of the intellectual type rather than wasting time bullying others we go and try to learn a skill instead.
sorry Romney supporters that back him on this thread which were former bullies well maybe they still are ahem working on wall street?
well rich bullies anyway thinking they can get away with robbing the world.
The Post, citing five people who attended the elite Cranbrook School in Michigan with Romney, said he had led a "posse" of fellow students against another student named John Lauber, who the newspaper said "was perpetually teased for his noncomformity and presumed homosexuality." The group reportedly pinned Lauber down while Romney forcibly cut his hair.
"It was a hack job," Phillip Maxwell, a childhood friend of Romney who was in the dorm room when the incident occurred and is now a lawyer, told the Post. "It was vicious."
Did you ever do anything like this?
Wow the Dems and the Post are scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one. I guess Obama's days in a madrassa are fair game now too, eh? Or his backpacking trips to Pakistan while there was a State Dept. warning to do otherwise?
As a 14 yr old at elite "Cranbrooke School", Romney was known for his "practical jokes" , such as the time he led a posse of his fellow little brown shirts, as they tackled a kid whose haircut Willard didn't like, and pinned the crying child down so Romney could cut his hair with scissors.
Or, there was the time Willard escorted a blind teacher right into a closed door.
... What a surprise! Scratch these privileged little buttoned-down mama's boys, and you'll ALWAYS a bully lurking underneath.
These could be seen as wayward incidents from a youth spent seeking a path in life. Except psychologists tell us our basic nature is set by age five ( Any of us who have raised kids can attest to the truth of that).
These stories will resonate, because they illustrate a central truth about Romney's nature that only get exposed accidentally in bits and pieces when he lets his guard down- that he's got a bossy, sadistic, passive-aggressive streak a mile wide, and he takes it out on people who can't defend themselves, who he thinks are "below his station" in life.
No wonder Romney doesn't "relate" to normal people. He isn't one.
The people that support him will see no problem with this. The kid with the haircut was weaker and should have comformed to what mittens wanted because if God intended for that not to be case he would have made the kid stronger is how they think. Yet half of this Country wants this bully to be in charge. You know what else since this is known as we all know he done much worse that may never come out. Some of those kids now adults are probably still afraid of him.
Picking on a blind teacher is real classy. No wonder he and his supporters hate PC so much. PC does not allow you to torture the blind.
Well I will condemn that comment personally, and I'm very sorry that your son is going through what he is. Bullying is a very serious issue. However there is a difference between practical jokesters and true bullies who only like to tear others down. Unfortunately, it's not different to the victims in many cases. And for that, Romney should apologize for what he's done (and he has). The key difference, however, remains that Romney is not the type of person who bullied for the sake of tearing anyone down 0 he never meant to be a bully. If you look at most of what he did (including his personality to this day as Ann has been telling us all along) most of it was just a bunch of harmless pranks. Some of them crossed the line, and he has apologized. But he was not the type who bullied just to hurt others. And I think we can all look back to high school and regretfully recall sometime when we were just trying to have fun or impress our friends but ended up hurting someone else in the process. That doesn't mean we're bad people, we just need to apologize for our mistakes and move forward as the human beings we are today.

We're starting to see evidence of Mittens' inner sociopath.
you never did anything wrong while growning up? I certainly do not even want to think about some of the stuff I pulled or even my sweet little sissy husband did in elementary and Jr High. Oh and there was the time our son really did put a dead frog down a little girls dress in about the third grade..I could go on and on. Whether these stories you report are true or not I don't know, but kids will be kids...
Nita
Holding down someone and cutting their hair is not a prank. It is an attack. I bet the kids parents were filled with joy to know about it huh?
And Obama was a toking Muslim Communist...now what.
You think Obama did these things - but did Obama ever sadistically assault another student with the complicity of yet others?
We know Romney did.
