What's to be made of Romney's attack on student thought to be gay?

[Trojan_Ripper]

A conservative taking feminist positions? By golly.

Pushing a girl, as bad as it is, isn't nearly as bad as bullying someone for their homosexuality. That's just downright discrimination.

Waaaaa. You’re “labeling” me now, bullying me by calling me names like “conservative”. That’s downright discimination Dan.

For a moment there I thought I was reading the Onion.

Yes, the true sign of a "man with walnuts" is a high school student that bands together with his buddies to taunt and torment a fellow student then assaults him because?.... kids will be kids.

Assault? Hmmmm…. jumping to conclusions here aren’t we? Okay then, why did Obama “assault little girls”?

Then we have John Laubers family speaking out:

“The family of John Lauber is releasing a statement saying the portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda,” she said. “There will be no more comments from the family.”

Aside from stating that the portrayal of her brother is inaccurate, she said the family is frustrated that the story is being used to push a political agenda.

Christine Lauber, the older sister of Romney’s classmate, John Lauber, claims she has no knowledge of the bullying incident involving her brother, who passed away from liver cancer in 2004. When ABC News showed Christine the story, she became agitated and somewhat emotional.

“Even if it did happen, John probably wouldn’t have said anything,” she said. “If he were still alive today, he would be furious [about the story].”

Aside from stating that the portrayal of her brother is inaccurate, she said the family is frustrated that the story is being used to push a political agenda.

Speaking of the Onion, this is getting comical. What will it be next? Maybe Romney had a sex change operation, or, if he gets elected he will secretly hypnotize the world.

The right wing know that President Obama is the Devil, as is demonstrated by the colour of his skin, though (sh!) we must never say that, because calling racists racist is 'playing the racist card', whereas pretending they are not racists is okay. All right-wing politicians are bullies, or they wouldn't be right-wing politicians, surely?

Who are these right wing you speak off? I didn’t realize Obama was right wing. He may be racist, but he is not right wing…. but I guess people should be appalled by him calling that poor little girl “Dark and plump”.

Let's be honest and admit that everything written or said about either Obama or Romney from now until the election will be pushing a "political agenda".

What Romney did in as an 18 year old is a clear reflection of the values of his family, and his upbringing prior to the event. It's unlikely that he's changed his views, although he may have, for political reasons, a little more self-control.

This is a man who supported equality for gays when it served his purposes, and opposes it now when it doesn't. Romney is an opportunist of the worst kind. If it served his interests to politically bully and harshly oppress an identifiable group of people like gays, his history as an 18 year old, a governor, and now a presidential candidate suggests he would.

Romney was clearly raised by his family and community to be a bully and a bigot, and to lead others in his oppression of others. He's shown he learned his early lessons well.

Oh, so now the conservatives cry foul when somebody digs up a "prank" from 50 years ago. Meanwhile, Obama's citizenship is questioned, his family relationships scrutinized, and his every word and deed committed from birthdate onward "exposed."

Welcome to Thunderdome, Mittens. Get used to it.

Well, your President is of course very right-wing indeed, but I was referring to the Republicans whose mad rantings have been monopolising the news for so long.

As far as I'm concerned, government is mostly the conspiracy to
commit crimes in the name of law and order. If you look at it this way, their mad rantings and mad policies make a lot more sense. Unfortunately, some feel they have absolutely no choice but to go along.

Wait….are you talking about Obama or Romney?

Pushing a girl in elementary school to save face because she has coodies is not as bad as leading a gang of bigots to physically assault a person in high school and forcibly cutting off their hair. The latter is worse because of the age difference and the difference in the severity of the act make the latter worse when trying to judge present character.

However, I don't doubt there are plenty of nice people around who used to be asses. Is Romney one of them? His policies shit on the poor, young, and old, so I don't see it.

Those damn poor conservatives….being picked on by liberals who have nothing better to do then yelling from the basement for mom to bring them a pork sandwich. Damn it….those idiots wanting answers from their president who lied to them....they shouldn’t ask him to prove anything.
Ohh, and while we’re at it, he can assualt little girls if he want’s... cause hees the commander in cheese.

So like you said Decieder only wordered a bit diffrently....Welcome to Hellworld, Pinheads, where your fantasies are a disturbing reality that effects everyone and they don’t want it. Get used to it!

Ohhh, you didn’t say Republicans before, but said “right wing”….so that explains it. So anyways my question still stands and goes un-answered so I’ll just replace “right wing” with Republicans to make it easier for you.

Who are these (Republicans) you speak off? I didn’t realize Obama was (Republican). He may be racist, but he is not (Republican)…. but I guess people should be appalled by him calling that poor little girl “Dark and plump”.

It seems Obama is a Racist.
