Former Classmate re Romney: "Evil & like Lord of the Flies"

Like Lord of the Flies
In the wake of a report on Mitt Romney bullying a fellow student in boarding school, a former classmate and old friend of Romney's - who refused to be identified by name - tells ABC News there are "a lot of guys" who went to Cranbrook who have "really negative memories" of Romney's behavior in the dorms, behavior this classmate describes as "evil" and "like Lord of the Flies.

1. Yes, but he isn't black!

Which is an unpardonable sin for many American voters.

2. I wonder if there is a dossier still at Cranbrook regarding his behavior

It would be interesting to see if bullied classmates reported the incidents and the school did nothing because Romney's father threw his weight around.

9. It was probably approved of at the time -

letting the strong kids beat the "sissy" out of the weak!

3. Anyone not familiar with the book which we studied in high school, or the film, see it on youtube.

This is the world Bush, Rush and the rest of them want inflicted upon all of us and it doesn't have to be this way.

Those who have no problem with the Orwellian vision of a boot grinding the human face forever, vote for Romney.

There is no equivalence of this world view with the Democratic Party.

4. Lord Of The Flies is the perfect analogy for today's GOP

selfish and sadistic

5. OMG... I can't believe that half a day ago this wasn't even a story yet

I could easily have imagined this story sinking in the media like a stone (did ABC or CBS report on W's blowing frogs up with firecrackers?). This is all kind of awesome; I just hope this isn't peaking too early and will be forgotten by November.

6. He IS like Bush. I often called Bush WH the Lord of the Flies Administration.

8. and that's the testimony of a friend!

Imagine what an enemy would have to say!
