Family of John Lauber (the "gay" guy Romney "bullied") says story is incorrect

[MCWAY]

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

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.

[Straw Man]

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!!

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

link ?

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

[Straw Man]

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

LOL @ "very serious"

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

[MCWAY]

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.

[chadstallion]

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

one of those things George Carlin would say..."Makes you go. HMMMMMMMMM"

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

[Straw Man]

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
