Obama bullying story really bugs me

[_bcspace]

It probably shouldn't bug me, because he was a kid, and we all did stupid things as a kid. This kind of thing shows a person's character, and I really hope he has changed.

The dittoheads have their marching orders.

There is a big difference in these two stories that you and your fellow dittoheads failed to grasp, and it might help you understand why the "lamestream" media isn't running with the Breitbart story.

The source of Obama's "bullying" incident came from...are you ready?....Obama. He owns his mistake. Romney is denying what witnesses and fellow perpetrators say he did. Most people would forgive Romney if they felt he was sincerely sorry for being such a douche in High School and tormenting people, but he just doesn't seem to understand what was so bad about his "pranks." If the first time we heard about the Romney bullying story was from Romney, explaining his immature youth and how much he has grown, it would not be a story.

Sexist pig. How dare you fail to see the importance of protecting little girls from monsters like Obama who now wages war on women and minorities.

Everyone knows the mainstream media get their marching orders from the White House or wherever Democratic HQ happens to be at the moment (Transylvania?). There is a ray of hope though. On an obscure ABCNews blog, at least they admit yours is a 45 year old anecdote.

So you are saying that Obama has more in common with Mitt than being on the same planet simultaneously?

You have to hand it to the right-wing machine. They decided to go with the "I know you are but what am I" method of campaigning, and they remain firmly committed.

- Adult Romney abused his dog? Well, Obama ate some dog meat he was served when he was six.

- Republicans are conducting a prolonged, nationwide assault on women's reproductive rights? Well, some democrat insulted Ann Romney by saying she hasn't had to work a job.

- Obama saved the auto industry? Well, Romney says it was really his idea first.

- Obama made the decision to launch a high-risk raid into Pakistan based on a 50% confidence level that it was bin Laden. Well, it was an easy call based on the hindsight of its success, and Romney would have made the same call (and if it had failed, he never would have made such a stupid call -- see how nicely hindsight works?).

- Romney bullied an effeminate boy and physically assaulted him? Well, Obama once pushed a little girl after being teased on the playground.

Consistency, consistency, consistency. It's the conservative way.

I defended Romney, but here's a question, bcspace: how old was Obama when this happened?

I've gotta say, the people who post comments on those web sites you have been posting are especially vile, homophobic and racist.

They call the first lady a cow with a "Welfare Neegar Booty," but who somehow also looks "like a dude." Or the phrase "house n----, field n----" and insinuations that Obama has never been interested in girls...
