1. I doubt this damages him, though I would like to think so......

The repugs are dismissing this as child's play and won't change the minds
of the GOTP's hate for the President. Maybe some Independent voters won't like it,
but the repugs have heavily registered as Indys once Obama became president, just
to fuck up the polls. IMHO

2. His response sets a terrible example for kids today.

Which is why I, a teacher, did this:

3. it's his response that was insulting

being someone who was bullied and bullied harshly. I won't give him many favors. Least of all trying to blow smoke as this is the past. No you just made it be the present by blowing it off. So anyone who's been bullied harshly will remember only one thing. he's a ringleader of the bad guys. so by blowing it off he proved he's still a bully. Current, present. Same guy nothings changed. Not a role model.

4. I Find It Really Hard To Believe That Rmoney Doesn't Remember This Incident From His High School....

days. As I look back on my life the things that I remember the most from my childhood and young adulthood (teen years) are the things that I did that were bad or things that got me in trouble. They stand out to me because I knew they were wrong when I did them but did them anyway. Fortunately I didn't do anything as bad as taunting or bullying anyone and tackle them and cut their hair off - but I did do some things back then that I regret or am embarrassed for now. I'm 63 y/o - and if I can remember these things - and I think if you ask most people - they would remember these bad, wrong or embarrassing episodes in their past - that Rmoney is lying that he doesn't remember.

I also remember how I was picked on back when I was a kid. There were a lot of bullies around back in those days and as a small, frail, momma's boy - I had to deal with my fair share of taunting and being bullied.

5. Hmmm

Perhaps he bullied so many kids that he is unable to recall that specific incident?
