No need to be sour and silly. Life is too short.

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."

Communists, Cop-Killers, and Cocaine: Why the Washington Post Focuses on Romney Instead | RedState
If these were such minor incidents, why so much "defense" from the supporters?
And, why does Mr. Romney feel the need to apologize now that the details are out?

Morons are amongst us and unfortunately, the breed and vote.

The reason so many of them are evident and posting is because none of them have jobs. Uncle Sugar is treating them well.
He was a little kid in a foreign country and was fed it. Your "idol" was a callous, clueless grown man.

This bullying and violent behavior occurred when he was a teenager and knew better. It gives us a glimpse of what's inside the man. What his behavior pattern might be. Disqualifying? Probably not. But something to be concerned about. And to be concerned about he handles it in his responses this week. You can tell a lot about someone's character by how they handle the tough issues/scandals.

Sounds like he wasn't a prankster but a bully. It was very cruel of what he did to the blind teacher (if it's true) though.

Oh no...the guy that supplied the story to the WaPo was not even there.

Romney Friend Stu White Says Campaign Wants Him to Counter Prank Accusations - ABC News

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.

Default Mittens was a Gay Bashing Bully in School.

Apparently, Mittens not only picked on gays in his school days, he actually physically assaulted at least one.

John Lauber, a soft-spoken new studentone year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now hewas walkingaroundthe all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t havingit.

Mitt Romney’s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents - The Washington Post

... 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.
He sounds like he was a pretty normal kid and a bit awnry and a brat. I like the idea of having somebody who isn't so unrealisitically "perfect" it's suspect. Are you jealous and envious that he had a childhood and fun growing up? You think you're so smart and wise - you do realize people grow up and mature? What's your real problem? Maybe if somebody put your head in a toilet you'd lighten up.
