Did Romney walk a blind teacher into a wall?

I'm paraphrasing, but I heard this on MSNBC. Apparently, it was another prank. Mistreating and torturing a disabled person is really hilarious, isn't it?

Although the other story about bullying a fellow students deserves all the attention it has gotten, I wouldn't want this to be swept under the rug, if true.

when he had a choice to do the opposite. The best picture of a person's character comes when that person has a choice on doing right or doing wrong. Romney consistently chose wrong when he had a choice. With the glare of bright lights on Romney, he no longer has a choice, he will be defined.

Show up at his rallies wearing blonde hair over our eyes. Let's not let him forget what he did. Bringing a dog would be optional. And yell "Atta Girl" when he speaks.

he opened one door for him ( a severely vision impaired teacher, not quite blind) , then faked to open the next door so the man walked right into it.
Real funny, Willard you asshole. I 'spose pushing a wheelchair down the steps would be next.
