Mitt Romney ASSUALTED fellow student for being gay.

[RandySF]

NOTE: This may be a duplicate, but I want to stress the fact that ROMNEY COMMITTED ASSAULT AND BATTERY on a gay teen in prep school.


What would be the worst possible news for Mitt Romney to have to deal with the day after President Obama announced he supports gay marriage? Romney's already had a gay staffer resign because social conservatives were outraged he'd hire an openly gay person. And having a hypothetical family member come out as gay would probably help him seem more compassionate. But one thing that might project an image Romney really wants to avoid -- heartless outmoded anti-gay conservative -- would be a long profile in The Washington Post about how he bullied a gay kid in high school. At the exact moment Romney doesn't want to talk about gay stuff, the Post's Jason Horowitz reports Romney led a gang of boys who singled out a gay kid, held him down while he cried, and cut off the kid's offensively un-hetero hair. No one ever likes a bully, but it's really a bad time to be an anti-gay bully.

1. No! Mitt would *never* do that!

[quinnox]

2. yup, a bit late

it has been posted numerous times

[RandySF]

5. But I wanted to emphasize a certain point.

He was a teenager when it happened, not some 1st grader. If he did that to my kid, I would have a talk with the police.

8. however, this is the first I've seen it

so I'm thinking it can't be posted too many times

[Scuba]

3. As I posted elsewhere, Mitt doesn't deny, claims he can't remember these incidents...

Apparently the victim was so insignificant to Mitt that he's not worthy of any space in Mitt's memory banks.

Or perhaps his attacking other boys was so commonplace it gets lost in the blur.

Or perhaps he's a lying asshole.

4. OR, he is Willard "Mittens" Rawmoney

Who can bully anyone because Daddy is rich in money AND influence...

6. k and r

7. Or, as Mittens calls it, "hijinks."

Creepy bastard!

9. Mitt is calling it a "prank." It's not a prank when you hold someone down

and do anything to them... it is an assault.

A prank is calling someone on the phone and asking if their refrigerator is running.

Also, he apologized on Faux news by saying "IF anyone was offended...blah, blah, blah."

FYI, Mitt - Apology 101: A real apology should never included "if anyone was offended."
