Mitt Romney, high school bully?

[Communists For McCain]

Stick a fork in Romney. He's done.

I hope you're not serious.

I don't know man, this is the 2012 Board.

Romney is DOA.  He is the Republican version of Michael Dukakis.

[Insula Dei]

You know, cruelty isn't a 'non-issue'. The fact that Mitt Romney was capable of doing a thing like that (-and it's a pretty extreme thing to do by high school standards-) says way more about him than whatever neat little policy on abortion or gay marriage he happens to espouse right now.

Uh, no. He's virtually Bob Dole.

Except Dukakis was good.

One, it's a woman. Two, it wasn't at a school, it was private lessons. Three, she also put a bow in my hair. Four, we are still good friends to this day.

All I'm saying is, sometimes people need to grow a pair.

lolwut

Your story is bizarre and your teacher is a pedophile if true.

Ephebophile at most, wormy, as hagrid is not a little child - more like a teen lummox.

Barack Obama was snorting cocaine as an adult yet Mitt Romney is being attacked for something that may or may not have happened? And if this John Lauber was really a homosexual, he'd probably be dead by now given what happened to most homosexuals his age in the '80s and '90s (e.g., Freddie Mercury, Liberace, Rock Hudson, etc.)

[Politico]

"The Washington Post can’t be bothered to worry about Barack Obama’s college years, college transcripts, communist friends, cocaine use, or cop-killing plotters in whose living room he first launched his major political career, but they can get in the really way back machine to 1965 and Mitt Romney’s high school years.

Mitt Romney cut a hippy’s hair at his preparatory high school. A day after Barack Obama caved on gay marriage, the Washington Post “coincidentally” says Mitt Romney cut the hair of a boy who “was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality.”

Let’s leave out the fact that the kid who got his haircut was subsequently thrown out of school for smoking one cigarette, but we’re to believe that the assailants of his hair, witnessed by many, were ignored. Oh, and the guy who got is hair cut never, ever, ever mentioned it, including to family, and died in 2004 so it can’t be verified. But a handful of students who now probably support Barack Obama have a crystal clear memory of events from 50 years ago. The people who were adults at the time of the incident and still alive have no memory of it, but remember Romney and said he was never a disciplinary problem."

what a joke of a story

Bingo.

Perhaps it's time for somebody to start recalling the time that Barack Obama smoked crack?

If they want ugly, they'll get uglier than they can dish out.

Ummm.....what?

[Insula Dei]

That's politico for you.

edit: and politico, you adorable little muffin, mr. Lauber actually is dead. Died in 2004. Whether it was from horrible Gay AIDS I don't know.

[Politico]

BTW, anybody remember the fake Bush AWOL letter?

Ummm.....what?

Almost every gay person I know who were born during the Baby Boom (i.e., 1946-1964) died of AIDS in the '80s or '90s. The only exception is one who was born in the early '60s.

[wormyguy]

Says in the article it was liver cancer (which is commonly caused by Hepatitis B but that's irrelevant).  Politico has a bizarre obsession with AIDS.

I am fairly anti-homosexual but I think you should be banned for this.

We're supposed to ignore history, and ban people who bring it up? OK...

...

You are assuming this story is fabricated, because you find it highly unlikely that a gay guy would have lived to 60?  Do you have statistical evidence for this or do you think creating a list of 4 dead gay dudes is sufficient?

You'll be happy to know, I guess, that he died at 56 of liver cancer.

edit: a little late on the draw there.

[memphis]

Michael Stipe, Elton John, and Barney Frank can't possibly be gay. They would have died of AIDS by now

Of course I am not happy to know that he is dead. I presumed he was the source of this story, and would be giving interviews, much like the allegations from the guy who supposedly wrote that fake AWOL letter regarding Bush. Now I am hearing this guy never even brought it up to a soul, which is odd. It is the sort of thing everybody would share with their friends and family.

This whole thing reeks just like the fake Bush AWOL letter did. The political timing cannot be ignored.

AIDS destroyed a whole generation of gay men. Are people, especially informed people on here, really not aware of this? It is common knowledge, I thought, even amongst young people today.

[Meeker]

This thread is so bizarre on so many different levels.

[Sibboleth]

Did I drink more than I thought I did earlier?

Ever hear of a qualifier? As in, "this is probably the case"? I did not make any absolute statements. And I did jump the gun because I thought this guy was alive, well, and the key source of the story.
