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

[MCWAY]

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.

Go talk to washington post and all the other leftist media outlets who are avoiding the economic issues like the plague to carry water for the failed obamunist presidency

Maybe they didn't sit down for meals or have family time together.

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.

Another non-issue to spend all the time on while ignoring everything else going on with this disastrous presidency

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

[Soul Crusher]

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.   

[Straw Man]

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.

[240 is Back]

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.

[Straw Man]

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

[Coach is Back!]

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.
