Mitt the twit is in the sh1t for homophobic fit

forfuxsake · 10-05-2012 08:24PM #1

Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has been forced to apologise over some High School hi-jinks. Basically he didn't like the look of some gay guy's hair so pinned him down and cut it. For me a high-school prank is letting the air out of a teacher's tyre or turning all the desks upside down. This kinda thing is much darker and someone who could do such a thing is not for such important office.

Mitt Romney returned from a three-week spring break in 1965 to resume his studies as a high school senior at the prestigious Cranbrook School. Back on the handsome campus, studded with Tudor brick buildings and manicured fields, he spotted something he thought did not belong at a school where the boys wore ties and carried briefcases. John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now he was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t having it

Personally I find this behaviour highly objectionable and so he will not be getting my vote.*

*That I don't have a vote is irrelevant

Of the reasons to not want him to win, that one would be towards the lower end of the list I'd say.

He isn't homophobic, if he was homophobic he wouldn't have touched a suspected gay let alone pin him down.

mackg · 10-05-2012 08:27PM

He was a dick when he was a teenager, if this was an isolated incident I wouldn't read too much into it.

Actually, if you follow the trend with vocally homophobic politicians...

You mean you would have given him your vote beforehand!?:eek:

Newsflash: "Student does something stupid."

I don't like Mitt Romney - but the American press digging up stuff he did as a student, maybe trying to effect his chances in Oval office?
Naaa... such antics would not make me vote away from him IF I did even consider him.

ALL students do stupid stuff. Me included.

That said, Romney is a out of date idiot.

I don't know. I ****in' despise bullies. Once a bully always a bully.

I do agree that the list is long.

All students don't try to become president. That goes beyond something stupid. Imagine how he must have felt.

Always nice to see a bully get his comeuppance.

Jimoslimos · 10-05-2012 08:31PM

This wouldn't neccessarily be seen as a weak point for a potential POTUS. Most people would want a bully as a leader (especially the US) rather than someone who was bullied.

Obviously not (I'm not crazy).

I think a POTUS should be somebody who would stand up for himself and his friends rather than pick on he who dared be himself. Naive, I know.

What Mitt did was wrong. No if's or buts.
I can only imagine how the victim felt.

That said, what we all do stupid in school should not really haunt us for ever if it is eventually gotten away from and the person doing it kops himself on and learned from his/her own stupidity and earlier bad behaviour.

As it is Mitt is a plonker in many others aspects and I hope he never sees the Oval office as president.

Mittens is an odious twatwaffle.

Great thread title OP - you should be a tabloid sub-editor with skills like that.

Not one fuck could I give about watching two privileged careerist millionaires vying for hundreds of millions in campaign funds off their handlers corporate sponsors - sponsors who expect to have their investment returned - if it's at the expense of the US public... well fuck 'em.

“All for ourselves and nothing for other people seems in every age of the world to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.”

That was not Karl Marx but Adam Smith, in his classic 1776 treatise on capitalism, the Wealth of Nations. Little has changed since then.

Talk about detached from democratic principles.

Plutonomy and the Precariat

For the general population, the 99% in the imagery of the Occupy movement, it’s been pretty harsh -- and it could get worse. This could be a period of irreversible decline. For the 1% and even less -- the .1% -- it’s just fine. They are richer than ever, more powerful than ever, controlling the political system, disregarding the public.

The US presidential elections are a fucking farce.

Says who?

When you say "live and let live" do you actually mean "live and let live as long as they're not gay and looking for the same rights as straight people"?

The guy who had his hair cut probably harbours a grudge, and is waiting for the right moment for bloody revenge.

Not everywhere, in some countries it is between two consenting adults who love each other.

The guy who had his hair cut is dead.

But who says it has to be between a man and a woman?

forfuxsake · 10-05-2012 08:49PM

I fully support gay marriage.*

*Gays deserve to be miserable too.
