Mitt Romney
1
A new poll finds that most people by now have heard about Mitt Romney's past
as an antigay bully and more than two-thirds aren't bothered one bit by it.
Ipsos asked poll respondents via the Internet about a Washington Post report
that while Romney was in prep school, he led a "posse" of students who held
down and forcibly cut the hair of a fellow high-schooler while the student
cried, screamed and called for help.
Of those who had heard about the attack, Politico reports that 67% said the
story doesn't affect their view of Romney one way or the other. For 28%, the
story negatively affected their opinion, and 5% said it had a positive
effect.
Romney doesn't deny the bullying happened. Instead he claims to not be able
to remember it and laughs about the "pranks" he often pulled during school.
Commentator Frank Rich said it's Romney's reaction that could worsen the
polls to come.
"As many have said, what is fair game is his strange, chuckling denial of
any knowledge of a fairly violent prank that other participants and
eyewitnesses remember so vividly," Rich said in an interview in New York
magazine. "If no other similar incidents turn up, that will be the end of it
. How big an “if” that is, I don’t know. Much of Romney’s past remains a
mystery to me, as it does to most Americans. Meanwhile Sondheim aficionados
can savor a musical recounting of the bullying incident, 'Romney Mitt, the
Demon Barber of Wall Street.'" | g********d
