This'll probably escalate quickly

I wish they could find anybody who remembers anything that Obama ever did in his whole life.

Well that would be nice... but... how come no one seems to remember much of anything.

Lets face it what someone does between ages 13-25 people grow up alot. Some make mistakes and get caught others dont. Some mature and get wise. Others continue down the same roads of distruction.

I much rather have someone in office who has made a few mistakes amd learned from them than someone flawless like obama.

Someone flawless tends to not see life for what it really is.

but his own apology speaks volumes.

Didn't you hear? According to our resident pedant, there was no apology. Not that I think he would ever find any sufficient, including the wearing of sackcloth and ashes.

Nice catch. +1

My simple explanation of this entire story,

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I wonder how many more of these types of stories are setting on a shelf somewhere?

This wasn't something they just found out. There is probably some element of truth to this and with a little spin, a dash of hyperbole, shall we call it, and a cadre of willing accomplices-- Shazzam! This story was constructed and set aside for the appropriate moment.

I'm betting this is the first of many. Pace your self Romney haters.

Dude, it's David Axelrod. Remember how Obama won his U.S. Senate primary? Remember how he beat Jack Ryan?

United States of Chicago.

Mmm-Hmmmm

If you like ****-slinging campaigns, this oghta be one for the ages.

Now that the story is proven a fraud, the Media does not want anyone to know about their fraud. MSNBC cuts off microphone of conservative pundit:

[MMRUSH]

A least Romney is a American and not a muslem whose mentor was a commi. And Im sure his social security number is legit. Hell this country bullies everyone. Wake up people!

I would agree.

This is Politics 101.

Its not something only done by one side or the other, as some would have you believe.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Please name for me a Republican coming into office as Obama did as Senator. I want primary and general election dirty tricks just like Axelrod did.

I'll wait here.

If you don't want 'em talking about your record, create something to talk about?

Didn't you hear? According to our resident pedant, there was no apology. Not that I think he would ever find any sufficient, including the wearing of sackcloth and ashes.

This would be an acceptable apology:

"Yes, I did that. It was wrong, I was wrong, and I am sorry that I did it."

Shoot, if I can teach my 3 year old to apologize in this manner I would sure hope that a grown man could pull it off.

Saving a story for an opportune time. Happens constantly.

You want to hit your opponent when he is vulnerable, or release information so it corresponds with another event. This week Obama came out in favor of gay marriage, and this week we found out that Romney and his gang liked to bully people who were different.

Later, something negative will be strategically released about Obama. That's how it works.

Except it will be ignored, explained away, or ridiculed by the networks, newspapers, the pop-culture costa nostra, etc.

This tactic sounds familiar. Like maybe I've seen it before.

Oh, now I remember. I saw it in this thread.

 

[HeadlessRoland]

What the HELL is so surprising about this?

Mitt was a bully at ten, he's a bully at forty-five, and he'll be a bully on the day that he dies. The man is running for office to tell 310 million (+) people how to run their lives - you thought he might not have some bully in him?

Get REAL, folks!

 

[Ted]

Honestly, something that occurred 45+ years ago?

So when does BHO release his college transcripts and birth records?

It was just a harmless prank damnit!!

Is there a person out there that this logic would not apply were they to run?
