He helped shave someones head because they bleached thier hair blonde.  I did some stupid things as a teen but nothing like that.  It's funny that bullying gays is now considered worse than bullying for other reasons.  Quite unfair actually.

Let's see.... he had an ego the size of LA when he was a young man and acted like an a$$ toward some classmates..... now he's running for president...... the picture seems in focus to me.  I don't particularly like it, but it doesn't shock me.

What I'd like to know is if the dog that Obama ate was the same one that crapped on top of Romney's car.

Washington Post already changing story, but not issuing a correction

I'd not be surprised if Obama, Clinton, and even Jimmy Carter had all been bullys too. You have to be very aggressive to be in Federal level politics and that level of aggressiveness expresses early in life.

Principal: "Romney, this is going on your permanent record!"
Romney: "Big deal."

( 50 years later )

Principal: "Now who's laughing, Romney! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

That's what Zimmerman said about the hoodie.

In Dreams of My Father Obama admit to bullying a young classmate because she was African American and fat.

Will WaPo do an 11 page expose on that?  Or perhaps they'll look into his admitted truancy, cocaine use, marijuana use, and other bullying incidents he was involved in.

This story has nothing to do with bullying, it is pure class warfare by playing into white stereotypes. You're not supposed to assume Trayvon was a hoodlum just because he was black and wore a hoodie, but if you're white and go to a prep school, then surely you must like the bad guy in an 80's teen movie ( Call it reverse Traycism  ).  

If you read an article about the underwear bomber, you won't find the word "muslim" anywhere, in case the suspect turns out to be a radical Hassidic Jew instead, but if we're talking about Romney it's no problem to bring up his Mormonism no matter how out of context it is.

If Obama had a son he'd look like this:

There was one other child in my class, though, who reminded me of a different sort of pain. Her name was Coretta, and before my arrival she had been the only black person in our grade. She was plump and dark and didn’t seem to have many friends. From the first day, we avoided each other but watched from a distance, as if direct contact would only remind us more keenly of our isolation.

Finally, during recess one hot, cloudless day, we found ourselves occupying the same corner of the playground. I don’t remember what we said to each other, but I remember that suddenly she was chasing me around the jungle gym and swings. She was laughing brightly, and I teased her and dodged this way and that, until she finally caught me and we fell to the ground breathless. When I looked up, I saw a group of children, faceless before the glare of the sun, pointing down at us.

“Coretta has a boyfriend! Coretta has a boyfriend!”

The chants grew louder as a few more kids circled us.

“She’s not my g-girlfriend,” I stammered. I looked to Coretta for some assistance, but she just stood there looking down at the ground. “Coretta’s got a boyfriend! Why don’t you kiss her, mister boyfriend?”

“I’m not her boyfriend!” I shouted. I ran up to Coretta and gave her a slight shove; she staggered back and looked up at me, but still said nothing. “Leave me alone!” I shouted again. And suddenly Coretta was running, faster and faster, until she disappeared from sight. Appreciative laughs rose around me. Then the bell rang, and the teachers appeared to round us back into class.

Why, yes. A legal adult committing a premeditated assault with scissors as his friends cheer him on is the exact same thing as an elementary age child protecting himself from cooties.

Why is the media so biased?

So elementary racially based school bullying inlcuding a physical assault is OK, but high school bullying is not?  I guess we've just got to weed out the slackers at a young age, right?  Survival of the fittest?

And does it matter that the family says the kid wasn't gay and that they never heard of such an incident taking place?  And that the primary witness remembers the incident so vividly in the WaPo interview, but nary a mention in other interviews he's done about Romney.

And what about the rest?  Will we see an 11 page WaPo interview with Obama's drug dealer?  Or perhaps the two Hawaiian dropouts he used to skip school, smoke weed, and assault people with?  Any interviews about how someone with such a criminal background could have gained acceptance to some of the most elite universities in the world?

Your false equivalence is falsely equivalent.
