Yes, they will have to read Grimm's fairy tales and put Mitt Romney as a character from several of those little stories as the villain before it's over. They are desperate.

Great way to be remembered by a classmate...btw. His weak and feeble apology is further evidence of his failure to show integrity...he has none!

Yes, Obama said he smoked pot and tried cocaine...what of it? It is a non issue. Who was he hurting anyway?

Keep defending the right wings only prospect for a shot at the Presidency...you've no choice...he's all ya got...tsk tsk.


Do you know how idiotic this sounds? You are comparing a kid pulling a high school prank to a someone who admits he used drugs regularly at the the same time in his developmental stage of life. Who was the more well adjusted? The kid that got great grades, was well liked, a regular church going Christian, and an athlete or the drifting stoner who was admittedly headed for trouble and full of anger? That came out of his own book in his own words so please don't try to refute it.

Now, with that said, I don't care what Obama did as a teen. We all go through things and stages in life and he obvously overcame. However, to try and make Mitt Romney a bad person over a high school prank...as told by someone who wasn't even actually there is assinine at best.

It isnt' going to work folks...because nobody cares about this. It makes the Democrats and the Obama campaign look foolish...because it is.

I can start to see where Reagan Democrats come from. Atta girl!
Right wingers are known for a general lack of reading ability and comprehension. I responded to one of your assertions, and you produce this? Must be those Arkansas public schools.....

Arkansas public schools produced Bill Clinton, left-wing hero.

Interesting. A "church going Christian" now excuses sadistic behavior.
Very telling.

I think people are questioning the truthfulness of the story, not excusing sadistic behavior.

Consider the source of the story, the timing, etc.

Do you really consider assaulting another kid because he was "different" just a "prank?"

Do you think causing a blind teacher to walk into a door just a "prank?"

Every time I think that I couldn't be surprised by anything I read here, well, I find out otherwise.

Quote:
According to Getsinger, Romney opened a first set of doors for Wonnberger, but then at the next set, with other students around, he swept his hand forward, bidding the teacher into a closed door. Wonnberger walked right into it and Getsinger said Romney giggled hysterically as the teacher shrugged it off as another of life’s indignities.
Wow. What a guy.
