Teenage Romney assaulted a kid he thought was gay

[james&olya 1,121]

I have seen this sort of behavior. I had the unfortunate privilege to attend a boarding high school run by an upper middle class protestant church. I witnessed some of the most un-christian, mean, sadistic cruelty to many of my freshmen classmates, some of it with sexual overtones! When I informed the boys dorm 'dean', he didn't seem to think any of it was a problem. Witnessing those incidents was one of the major factors leading to my personal rejection of that religion as well as the politics espoused by 99% of its members!

Mitt is such a brute.

We'll never know what Obama did as a teenager because, well, we don't know where he was as a teenager.

Funny that the media is pushing this story of Romney on us yet they don't have the slightest clue about Obama's upbringing.

Nah, just a plain old a$$hole!

His biography is well established for all except the 'birther' loonies!

Yes, such a mystery...

Finally, Mitt is speaking out about this:

My School Days

By Mitt Romney

NEW YORK – Today, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney released the following open letter to the American people:

Dear Friends:

This week, The Washington Post reported an incident from my high school days in which I bullied a gay classmate by pinning him to the ground and cutting his hair off. This story revealed a side of Mitt Romney that may have been surprising to many of you: the Mitt Romney with an irrepressible and hilarious sense of humor.

Some of you may say, “Hold on, Mitt – isn’t holding a kid down and cutting off his hair going a little far?” Well, the merry prankster in me tells me you can never go too far when it comes to giving the greatest gift of all: the gift of laughter. And I certainly remember many of us laughing long and hard about what I did to that Nancy-boy. Was it cruel? Perhaps, but it’s not like I tied him to the roof of a car or anything.

The Democrats have already tried to seize on this incident as evidence that I don’t like gays. That is a lie. I have nothing against gays. Except for the poor ones, of course. And as any of my high school chums can tell you, I did not go out of my way to pick on gay kids. I was also a total douche to many heterosexuals.

The fact is, boys will be boys. Who among us hasn’t shoved a crippled kid down a flight of stairs? That’s something else I did in those mischievous days, but the mainstream media isn’t reporting it because they want to turn this into an anti-gay thing. The fact is, when I was in high school I played pranks on everyone – blind kids, deaf kids, dwarves and Jews. Although come to think of it, I don’t think our school accepted Jews.

Now that I’ve put my actions into better context, I hope you’ll see this incident with the gay kid for what it was: innocent good fun. And I hope when you vote in November, you won’t judge me as the teenager who bullied one gay boy, but rather as the adult who fired thousands of people.

Vote for me,

Mitt Romney

Some kid got a free hair cut and people are trying to make Mitt out to be the anti christ.

Free haircut? Following that train of thought, folks that are waterboarded are just getting a free drink. Excellent!

Is the glass half empty or half full?

Full of what?

[Dan and Judy 614]

So Obama didn't have to change his position on gay marriage to lock up the gay vote?

[Dan and Judy 614]

This does demonstrate that Mitt is a leader and a Man of action. both good qualities in a president.

I hope he's changed, but doubt it.

Still leading the same bunch and in the same direction!
