It looks as if the left just shot themselves in the foot...AGAIN!!
I saw this on Fox News earlier today. Now, here's the written report on this matter:
Family of Romney’s Alleged Bully Victim Speaks Out: ‘The Portrayal of John Is Factually Incorrect’
On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was accused of attacking a student whom he believed to be gay during his prep school years. Although Romney claimed to have no memory of the incident, he apologized on Thursday for the “dumb things” he did back in high school. But now, the family of the purported victim is speaking up and slamming the story as a political ploy.
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].””
Family of Romneys Alleged Bully Victim Speaks Out: We Are Aggrieved That He Would Be Used to Further a Political Agenda
Betsy, another sister, spoke up about the incident as well. 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.
“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.”

He could have been too embarrassed to tell his family what happenned. And by Romney's own admission, he's seems to be covering up what occurred.
One thing is for sure, Romney was a bully in high school and I hope he's become a better man

The story claims the Romney CUT OFF HIS HAIR. Now, if you come home with a huge chunk of your normally-long blonde hair missing, YOUR FAMILY IS GOING TO NOTICE IT.
Conservely, Obama ADMITS to bullying a fat girl in high school. It comes from his own mouth. Yet, you don't seem to have a problem with that and voted for Mr. Hope-and-Change, anyway.
Give it up, Vince. This hack piece has been exposed for the garbage that it is. And, it shows just how desperate the left is, knowing that (at the rate things are going) Obama is going to get KILLED in November.

It's news, because the left-winged media is feebly trying to protect Obama, from having to answer for his sorry record.
Just as the "war on women" backfired on the libs; and the Hilary Rosen comment about Ann Romney and housewives blew up in their faces.
Now, this bully story will bite the left in the hind quarters.
Romney wins in all of this, because it unites the wings of the GOP. The establishment doesn't have to worry about Romney, bringing up social issues; the Democrats are doing it for him. And, it's the very social issue that, less than a year ago, the Dems said didn't matter.
It's the one issue that WILL cost Obama votes from the one demographic that sheepishly votes for him (or any other Dem). It will cost him Latino votes.
Whoever is running Obama's campaign needs to be shot, right about now.

5 witnesses at school remembered the story. Romney apologized for it..
Did you guys tell your mom every time you were bullied in high school? My mom sure as hell didn't hear about the shit I caught in middle school and high school.
And her quote, "“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].””
---- just tells us that she admits she doesn't have a clue, but she hates obama lol.

if its a non-issue, why did romney bother responding?
-

Because not responding makes it look like he is hiding something.
Seriously?
Obama is killing off the nation and this is what you care about?

33,
as prez, will romney respond to - and APOLOGIZE FOR - every false accusation? Of course not.
Just accept the fact romney owned up for this. He admitted it, apologized for it, and said he did some mean shit in school. It's over now. Dragging it out by saying 'but but he didn't do it" after he apologizes is weak.

Its no big deal.
Again - you had no problem kneepadding obama over the last three years despite his coke abuse, befriending terrorists like ayeres, dohrn, etc.

I said earlier today that obama belonged in prison for illegal cocaine use, sharing a cell with bush.
Anyone who uses felony drugs and breaks the law at 20 or 22 is the same as doing it at 32 or 52. You're a grown ass man. You're a drug abuser and a criminal. IF obama had been arrested for coke use, he wouldn't be prez. Only difference is, he didn't get caught. Sorry, in my book you shouldn't be prez if you used illegal drugs.

How can the family know nothing about the incident yet know it's not true?

Again, the story claims that Romney hacked off his hair. If this boy came home with a lop of his hair missing, odds are his parents and siblings would have noticed it.
The family said the story is BS. The left has, once again, generated some BS story that has backfired on them, in an attempt to shield Obama from the beating he's going to take for his lousy record.
Romney apologized in a general manner, which was a smart move. The left was hoping he'd get tangled up in this foolishness and get off message. He has NOT. Now, the right gets to pound Obama about his teasing and bullying a fat girl, which Obama admits to doing.
Did I mention that Romney's beating Obama by 7 points (Rasmussen)?
How can the family know nothing about the incident yet know it's not true?
Hmmm...because he came home with a FULL HEAD OF HAIR?

No one dragging out, except the left who is watching this garbage implode before their eyes. The guy who told this story (Stu White) said he only heard the story a few weeks ago. Yet, he claimed in the WaPo report that he was "long-bothered" about this alleged incident.
And, of course, the family of this alleged victim say this claim is FALSE!!! All Romney did is make sure he didn't get tangled in this mess, pressed on, and kept on with the business at hand (ripping Obama apart, by bringing up his sorry record).
A generic apology, claiming he didn't remember (this supposedly happened nearly FIFTY YEARS AGO) puts him in the clear. Now, he gets to watch, while the liberals repeatedly shoot their toes off, trying to cover for this garbage.
-
The family, 50 years ago, had the $ to send their children to rich ass private school. "Cranford academy"? LMAO.
So they're in their late 60s, they're wealthy as fck, and they're supporting a REPUB who is an alumni. Yeah, no motive for bias there!
And yes, the kid could wear a hat, get a haircut, or otherwise hide the lock which mitt cut off.
Mitt apologized for it. The family doesn't know if it happened or not. Five kids said they witnessed it. Showing up with 5 kids who say "but I didn't see anything" doesn't refute the witnesses. Imagine if you had a witness to a murder and your defense was "your honor, there are 7 bil people in the world who DIDN"T see the murder - who are you going to believe"?
Mitt apologized and said he did some cruel shit. To argue he didn't is foolish.
-
Hmmm...because he came home with a FULL HEAD OF HAIR?
maybe it happened months before he came home
maybe he told his parents he got a haircut
maybe they didn't notice either way and he never mentioned it to them
Lot's of maybe except for the 5 witnesses/participants who all said it happened and related essentially the same story
Those guys were all certain about what happened

great point
assaulting someone because you don't like how they look is not nearly as important as the ornaments on the White House Christmas tree
-
Pathetic but not surprising that the left would make an attempt to dig up something from 50 years ago probably before before our furor-in-chief was even born and yet another smear job is backfiring on them. They lie, deceit and spin no matter right or wrong just to gain power. Herman Cain, Sarah Palin are prime examples except the day Cain dropped out of the race the affair story went away. Here's the lesson for today......never trust a liberal. I'm not saying that because I'm pissed, I'm saying that because it's God's honest truth. NEVER trust that party!!

I have thousands of very serious threads on the damage the messiah has done which you have not said a word about.

The guy who told the WaPo the story admitted that he wasn't even there. This is a hack job that is backfiring on the left and falling apart.
It's comical to see the desperation by liberals. Obama's head is getting closer to the chopping block and they know it.
In the event he loses, he can go back to teasing fat girls.

The Washington Post "dug it up" and it's actually an interesting story in regards to Romney's character and is timely and relevent due to his response (no recollection of it even with multiple witnesses not only to this even but to his habit of harassing this guy)
I wouldn't expect republicans/fundies who already hate gsy people to give a shit if Ronmey bullied some gay kid so in that sense it's really a non-issue

what about the ohter 4 guys who remembered it and one even apologized to Lauber as an adult

a few weeks ago you admitted to spamming the board with all kinds of bullshit and nonsense and now they are all "very serious"

What about them? The family says the story is BS (well, "factually inaccurate" were their actual words).
Any way you slice it, this hit piece just crashed and burned and shows how pathetically desperate the lefties are, in trying to save Obama.
As for the link, ABC News broke the story. You can check there. Or, (courtesy of Breitbart.com):
Timed to drop the day after President Obama’s announced embrace of same-sex marriage, the story set the political world atwitter. But earlier today, Breitbart News reported that the Post had inflated witness testimony. The original Washington Post piece stated the following:
“I always enjoyed his pranks,” said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney’s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and has long been bothered by the Lauber incident. [emphasis added]
Yet in an interview with ABC News today, White disowned that characterization:
While the Post reports White as having “long been bothered” by the haircutting incident,” he told ABC News he was not present for the prank, in which Romney is said to have forcefully cut a student’s long hair and was not aware of it until this year when he was contacted by the Washington Post.

is this the same family member who said she had no knowledge of it and if it did happen her brother never would have said anything?
how can someone "know nothing" and also know that the story is factually innacurate?
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].””

No, there are two sisters who were interviewed. One said that the story is "factually inaccurate"; the other said she doesn't remember anything about her brother supposedly being scalped by Romney.
Romney is staying on message and focusing on the economy, while the Obama camp is basically bending over for the gays, hoping they'll help propel him to re-election.
This is beyond laughable, Straw. As someone else said earlier, if this is the best you Obama supporters have, you're going to get DESTROYED in six months.

What about Obama's character when he was in High School about his admitted drug use and excessive drinking and not going to class? This was in his OWN words, nothing made up, his words.

so one has no knowledge and the other doesn't remember it so how can either one claim it's factually innacurate?
how does that work?
Also, one of them said if it did happen that her brother never would have mentioned it so there's your explantion of why they know nothing about it
-

makes him seem like both an honest and somewhat normal person as most people have dabbled with drugs or skipped school in their lives (I'm guessing even you have dabbled with drugs of one kind or another and obviously missed a few days of school as well)
and of course he seems to have recovered and made something of himself

The explanation is that this story is basically BS, a desperate attempt by Obama's crew to bail him out. He's losing to the survivor of "the worst GOP field in history".
The same liberals who, just about a year ago, claimed that gay "marriage" didn't matter and was a distraction from the real issues (i.e. the economy and gas prices) NOW are beating the drum of gay "marriage", in an attempt to be Obama re-elected.
This story has self-destructed, Straw, and all your "maybe" drivel doesn't change that one bit.
50-43 Romney, among likely voters, according to Rasmussen......NO WONDER Obama is bending over for the gay vote.

Honest? He lied his keister off, regarding his stance to get elected. Now, he's lying to get re-elected. Chewing out his VP for spilling the beans, because his plan all along was to keep hemming and hawing about gay "marriage" until shortly before or after the election, PROVES that Obama wouldn't know honesty if it hit him with a brick
Here's more honesty for you: Obama said he could no more disown Jeremiah Wright than he could the black community. Wright later complained that Obama hadn't say boo to him, since he got elected (blaming the Jews, of course).
Then again, considering that Obama didn't go anywhere NEAR the black communities of this country, during his American bus tour last year, he may have actually been telling the truth on that one.

Obama's "crew" has nothing to do with this story
if anyone is to blame it's Romney since he seems to have been the ringleader of the incident
again, I don't expect any fundies or Repubs to give a rats ass if Romney harassed some gay kid so in that sense it is a non-issue

You've been doing more blow or smoking more weed than Obama did, back in the day.
All these years that Romney's been in the spotlight, yet this mess shows up less than 24 hours after Obama "evolves" into supporting gay "marriage" (which conveniently came less than 24 hours after North Carolina easily passes its marriage amendmen. And, you think Obama's crew had nothing to do with it?
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

what are you talking about
you're the one so desperately in denial that you can't understand basic facts
The family admits no knowledge of incident and admits that he never would have told them if it happned
I've also said a few times now that I don't think anyone who is planning on voting for Romeny gives a shit if it happened or not.

The family also said this is "factually inaccurate". The guy, who ran his mouth to WaPo is now backtracking, admitting that he wasn't even there. The story is imploding; yet you're the desperate one, trying to prop it up.
And this isn't about those who are planning to vote for Romney; it's about the independents (BTW, Obama's losing to Romney on that one by 10 points). The left is banking on Obama supporting gay "marriage" (which is why this stupid story popped up in the first place) helping his re-election.
But, as stated earlier, 86% of voters polled in Gallup said Obama's "evolution" will have no effect on their vote or make them less likely to vote for him.

I know - haven't we already been over this?
again, how can they it's factually innacurate while also having NO KNOWLEDGE of the indident
how exactly does that work?
btw - if someone is retracting their story then I can't find it so feel free to post a link and then all you have to do is explain how the other 4 eyewitness/participants are wrong or lying

You can't find it, because you aren't looking for it (as finding it would further shred your musings to pieces).
Regarding the other 4, as this story unfolds, their claims will likely fall to pieces as well. Regardless, this isn't helping Obama one bit, as it was designed to do.

I looked
if you have some info that POST IT
I've already said that I don't care about this story as it doesn't alter my opinion of Romney and I don't think Romney supporters care about it either

what do you mean NOW?
I said that yesterday on another thread and a few times on this thread
this was the 1960's and at a boarding school.
It was still an assault but I'm sure shit like this was just ingored
Personally I don't give a rats ass either. All it does is show that Romney was the same douche as a teenager that he is now. It's not exactly a big suprise
