If you don’t conform like us real male dudes and act like the rest of us, we’re gonna come and get you.
Snotty rich kid! Bully! Domestic terrorist. Yellow rat bastard.
Best of the best of the GOP - Mitt Romney.
"...The Washington Post story, by
Jason Horowitz, detailed a 1965 incident, witnessed by at least five Cranbrook
students, in which Romney, incensed by the dyed blond locks of a fellow
student, led what the Post described as a “posse” of students in a charge against
the boy, threw him to the ground and hacked off his hair. “He can’t look like
that,” Romney told a close friend at the time. “That’s wrong. Just look at him!”
No one was punished
for the incident, according to a number of witnesses, who the Post tracked down
and interviewed.
The Post also
detailed incidents where Romney said “Atta girl,” in class to a closeted gay
student, and deliberately held a door closed while an sight-impaired teacher
walked into it.
But it is the story
involving John Lauber, described as “a soft-spoken new student one year behind
Romney…walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped
over one eye” that may cause problems for Romney. After Romney rounded up some
friends, including Matthew Friedmann, who gave his version of the story to the
Post, “they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As
Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly
clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.”
Lauber, who died in
2004, was traumatized by the incident, according to a witness who bumped into
him years later at a bar in Chicago O’Hare International Airport. “It was
horrible,” Lauber reportedly told David Seed, a witness to the event, who
apologized to Lauber for not helping stop it, the Post said...."
