So why hasn't FOX uncovered anything? I'm tired of BS comments about the MSM--there's plenty of conservative media out there as well, and where's the dirt? This is the kind of stuff you say when you can't defend your position except by making excuses.

Please don't let that cruel comment get you down. I wish I could be free on here to give comments like that what they deserve

Fox is more concerned with real stories than this type of nonsense. I personally never cared about Obama's days in HS and college or his transcripts or the fact that very few people have been found that remember him from those days. I was more concerned with real issues. But frankly, with all this crap about Romney, now I demand fairness and expect the WaPo to run a story about what Obama was like in high school

No one cares about youthful drinking or drug use. So GWB and PO both did cocaine? Big deal. Most of us at least drank during college and a lot of us smoked pot. I only knew one person who did cocaine (that I knew of), but I am sure lots of young people experiment. It's not significant if they want to run for President 30 years later.

Nowadays if Romney did what he did back then, and his father wasn't rich enough to make it go away, he'd probably be at least expelled and possibly arrested for assault.

Someone said he apologized for what he did? Source please. It would make me feel better if there is proof of that. Audio or video please.

No, YOU don't care about youthful substance abuse. Neither do I, but I also don't pick and choose which law-breaking aspects of a candidates childhood bother me. I'm more concerned witht he eprson they are today
I'll try to find the audio, I'm not sure if it was a recorded interview or not though

It was a half-assed apology that didn't acknowledge any of the incidents.

Romney allegedly acted like the villain in one of those Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello movies.

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."

Sounds like that extremist from red state is already initiating a cover up. I'm sure that was a very pleasant memory all those years for the "HIPPIE". That label was thrown in to indicate that he deserved this attack.
The hate filled rwnj like this guy from red state must be stopped or bullying,discrimination and misogynist practices will rule this Country once again.

Because he, as well as most other people that have been contacted about it, don't remember it happening. Only a handful of people do, and it was something that happened 50 years ago.
