I'll take Attention Pimps for All The Money On Earth.

From the Seattle Times, no less.

That's good entertainment.

“terrifying” and “vicious” hair-cutting “prank”

Good grief! Get a freaking life!

OH, THE DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch this video from ABC News ....

In the video, Romney claims he did not know the boy was a homosexual.

And yet, the video explicitly states the victim was targeted because "most of them" thought he was "gay".

Are we to assume that Romney, who allegedly held the boy down and cut off the boys hair, had "no idea" that his fellow attackers thought the boy was gay?

Are we to assume that Romney never heard anyone else refer to the boy as "gay" at any point prior to the day of the incident?

Are we to assume nobody was yelling "you gay" or "you homo" at the boy during the hair cutting incident itself?

The fact that Republicans are willing to give Romney the benefit of the doubt on this, just shows that Republicans will believe anything ... even when it means ignoring "common sense".

Take note at the end of the above news report video, that one of the attackers met up with Lauber (the victim) many years later at an airport, and apologized to Lauber. Lauber replied that he was carrying around that event his entire life!

And Romney claims he doesn't even remember it happened?
He either remembers it or he doesn't. If he doesn't, how on earth is he supposed to recall whether the incident was about the kid being gay? He has stated that it probably wasn't, but if he can't remember it then your in depth analysis of the incident and how truthful Mitt is being is completely irrelevant. He has said he doesn't remember it, but apologized anyways. His best guess is that he did do something, that it was bad and that sexual orientation was not a motivating factor for him. But he's guessing, not remembering.

I'm going to watch this thing with amused curiosity. The whole story seems more than a little fishy. Why did these other kids suddenly remember it? Why is this only coming out now? But the biggest question of all: Why is bad behavior from 45 years gone adolescence relevant to a Presidential election?

Where's the MSM breaking news on the sodid details from Obama's youth. He's already admitted this much:

"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof off in high school as my mom reminded me," Obama said. "I went to high school in Hawaii, so there's a lot of opportunity to goof off because the weather is really good all the time …
"You know, I made some bad decisions …. You know, got into drinking and experimenting with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time where I didn't apply myself. It wasn't until I got out of … high school, and went to college that I started realizing, man, I wasted a lot of time.”


Did Mr Obama ever beat up another kid for no good reason? Was he an angry drunk? Angry drug abuser? Why isn't anyone reporting on that?? All we have to go on is the cleaned up version of events by Mr Obama himself. If it's so important to dig up events from High School, why is the MSM dropping the ball on this one??

Any one of the above, for me, would indicate Romney’s not fit presidential material.
It is three. Lying is a requirement in the political sphere.

Based on the freak we have now, I call bull!

If we as a country were worth our salt, we would impeach Uncle Sugar the Welfare King and start over.

And some people care about the ECONOMY and who can improve it when they take office; not what that person did 45 years ago as a teenager.
