A Desperate Mitt Romney Claims Obama Planted Gay Bullying Story

27. I can believe it. He was accused of planting a story early on against Huntsman for speaking Chinese.

I wouldn't put anything below a man who has done the things he has done in the business world, knowing and reveling in harming others. This would mean nothing to him, there is no shame for this. It works for the Freepers and their ilk who refused to support him.

I've read Reichwingers defenses about such things, typically prefaced with anecdotes about how 'I was treated that way growing up and it didn't hurt me, they just need to suck it up like I did.'

In other words, the victims are wussies if they don't 'get over it.' Some become perpetrators and continue the cycle because they can't face the fact they were once victims.

Some people are not capable for a number of factors, temperament, lack of social, family or medical support to just 'get over' assaults. They die by their own hands, become perpetrators out of a sense of paranoia or wanting to win by seeing someone suffer as they did, or die slowly knowing they are not valued as human beings.

The resulting backlash from Obama's announcement was predictable, and that's why I think he was acting by stealth, not making public statements but letting the different agencies make quiet change.

But with Amendment One passing, I am thinking, just my notion, that he saw that his talking against it did no good, or did more harm than good. The people that listened to Billy Graham, who I thought of as milder than his kids, and the rest of the Tea Party in N.C. were not going to listen to him.

Now that he has forced the issue on the entire nation, look to see Rush's crusade intensify and all the Reichwing hacks come out from the cracks and crevices that Kochroaches hide under. There will be a coordinated campaign such as what Sanctorum started, unfortunately by the Catholic and rightwing pulpits across this nation. And those people always vote, always.

This is a little bit of why I get a bit testy with those who seem to want to depress the vote here at DU and elsewhere. Because regressives never fail to vote, so why hand our future over to them?
