"Animal House" character, Douglas Neidermeyer, based on Mitt Romney's Prep School Days

[mikekohr]

Remember the character Doug Neidermeyer from "Animal House?" Turns out it was based on Mitt Romney. But unlike the character in the movie who went to Vietnam, Romney got a deferment and palled around France with cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Hit on link below to read the article, "Mitt, the prep school sadist." http://www.salon.com/2012/05/10/mitt_the_prep_school_sadist/


Remember as appalling was his behavior was then, the fact he is lying about it now is even more pathetic. Character counts.

1. Romney did not meet the same sad end as Niedermeyer, who was killed in Vietnam

by his own troops!!!

2. Willard went to France instead.

13. And palled around with cheese eating surrender monkeys.

But seriously, didn't you all know this was coming.

Willard had to round up a "posse" to beat up and humiliate someone that didn't look right. And when called on it does not have the character to admit he's was/is a rich, entitled, homophobic, bully. Forgiveness comes after admission and contrition. All we get out of Willard is calculation.

3. Shocking

(not really...)

4. A PLEDGE PIN? ON YOUR UNIFORM?

Now drop and give me 20!

20. It's all about showing up for morning drills on a horse

I almost went into ROTC for the sole purpose of wanting to pull off that stunt once...

5. Did Romney feed his horse a carrott from his own mouth?

6. Nah, Doug at least went to war

I am thinking of some of his buddies though, especially the ones that ambushed Otter. Maybe Chip?

7. According to the Salon article, Rawmoney's campaign is asking classmates to come forward

and support him in light of these accusations...No one is coming forward!

10. "This one time, at yacht camp..."

8. Nah, Greg Marmalard.

Though he's a sneaky little shit like Neidermeyer...

Romney

Marmalard

15. I amused myself driving home from work tonight...

by coming up with Mittens/Marmalard bumper stickers (yeah, rough day...). I ruled out Neidermeyer cuz Rmoney is a chickenhawk, but is indeed a sneaky little shit. He's even got some Kevin Bacon (Diller?) going on with the Christian missionary gig. I imagine it's just a matter of time before videos hit YouTube and merchandise is offered on CafePress.

Oh, Omegas...

[zappaman]

9. Where does it say Neidemeyer was based on him?

I didn't catch it in the article...

[mikekohr]

12. Sarchasm

[sofa king]

17. Are we sure about that?

The Washington Post has furiously edited that article for 24 hours now, and 3/5 of it is behind a login wall that I don't care to check.

But the version that was current yesterday mentioned that one of Romney's schoolmates contacted for the article became a Hollywood scriptwriter and/or producer, I don't recall which.

11. Never mind, I usually know better than to post before I've read the thread..

[pinboy3niner]

19. You batard! None of us have ever done that!

[Blue_In_AK]

14. That's funny. My husband and I were just making that comparison today.

Either him or those frat boys in Revenge of the Nerds.

16. "Whatever you do unto the least of these you do unto me." -Jesus-

By this standard Romney would theoretically formed a posse of moneychangers to throw Jesus to the floor, cut off his hair, and then lie about it to his Dad.

"Isn't that special?"

?

18. Willard also demonstrated FOR the war and the draft.
