(23,295 posts)First Joe floated the idea at a Hollywood party, 3 weeks ago.

Next, the Obama campaign crew (likely) contacted Jason Horwitz at the Washington Times to let him know there was a good date to release his story, and set up the Meet The Press show for Biden to appear to make his "gaffe."
Then Joe went on Meet the Press and "gaffed."
Next, Obama stalled until Tuesday to make his announcement about gay marriage to make it look like he was doing some soul-searching and consulting with his staff and family. The country rejoiced. Well at least our people did.
Next, the hair-cutting story appeared, including a quote (as recalled by the school principal) from the victim who Romney had sheared by force... Lauber paused, then responded, It was horrible.

Next, Mittens issued his non-apology apology to, essentially, a gay man who was already dead for 8 years from liver cancer, which often happens after cirrhosis, which is associated with excessive drinking, which is also associated with bullying. He used the "I don't remember the incident" defense. The only problem is, in the original article, everyone remembers the incident, with horror.
This article resulted:

Also, this article was published:

Which shows that he's still unconcerned with gay bullying. And that he doesn't want his name associated with gay causes in any way, shape or form.
So, what do we have? Mittens bullied a gay boy by forcibly cutting his hair, then apologized 8 years after he died, calling it a prank, but claimed he didn't remember doing it, and added that he didn't know the guy was gay, even though his classmates at the time said that the boy was known to be gay, and Mittens also bullied another gay boy by yelling out Atta girl! when the boy attempted to speak out in class. When he grew up and became Governor, he effectively killed his own office's project to help protect LGBT kids from bullying. And meanwhile, Obama has "changed" his stance on gay marriage and is now "embracing" it, and has taken firm positions on bullying and gay rights, especially in the military.
This was very carefully orchestrated. Right down to the apology by Biden. It's all cover, and Mittens is in a very very bad place with the youth vote right now. He's a known bully who is apparently a homophobe. What would Jesus do? Apparently when you're Mormon, Jesus does things differently, we've now learned from Romney.
