The media is with a straight face saying 'Normally we don't go back to high school days'

[NNN0LHI]

After the Republicans have questioned our Presidents citizenship the media now has the gall to say something like that!

Now after these fuckers have went back to our Presidents birth the media is now trying to say that high school is off limits? They think we are all idiots.

1. THEY DON'T???

[earthside]

3. No, they don't.

The 'mainstream media' was not on board with this birth certificate nonsense.

And while when one runs for President nothing is really off limits, I think that dwelling too much on what any person did as a teenager is problematic.

Look, Rmoney is a spoiled brat adult -- we are all seeing that more and more every day.

It is a political mistake to draw big conclusions based on something that happened in a person's life nearly fifty years ago. But part of this, too, is that I don't think that whatever Barack Obama did as teenager is especially relevant either. The last thing we need is some kind of media frenzy digging up everything Obama did when he was fifteen years old.

6. The mainstream media played "he said she said" with birfer bullshit.

And Fox is part of the mainstream media and they went way beyond mere false equivalencies.

[Iris]

9. Yes, they did.

They are guilty of perpetuating the crap to make money.

10. No, the media would never report on the meat Obama was served as a child in Indonesia

Thank goodness for that, eh?

[liberal N proud]

2. The rest of that statement: "for Republican candidates."

4. it was the WP that ran a 5 page story on Romney's high school

days. Without the media we wouldn't know about it.

[Zorra]

5. I remember the bullies from HS, and there's no way I would ever consider them

fit to be President of the US.

I would never risk giving any of those vicious hyenas any position of authority.

Remembering how they were and what they did sickens me.

[boppers]

13. Well said.

Bullies who never changed are still bullies, be they beating on:
"Weak gays"
"Weak workers"
"Poor people"
"Their lessers".

Romney is still a bully, and still beating up people he considers his inferiors.

7. But this was an exclusive prep school -- "upper school"

and they seem to have had problem going back to Obama eating dog meat as a child.

There is very little that is NORMAL about Romney -- for example he spent 30 months in France recruiting french people into a non-drinking church and telling them they should not have gotten out of Vietnam.

8. Hey with Bush anything prior to him turning 50 was a youthful indiscretion

If your Republican they don't go back to tomorrow to see if today your telling the same lie today. Going back to high school would be amazing for today's media.

11. Hypocrisy is thick with those assholes, huh

[malaise]

12. Didn't they spend a week saying that

he ate dogs as a ten year old boy?

[alphafemale]

14. Yeah. None of us learned in grade school the reason behind the nickname Honest Abe.

What child doesn't know who chopped down the cherry tree?

Are they FUCKING seriously trying to play this?

oh fer fucks sake.

[libtodeath]

15. I bet this is only the tip of the iceberg too.

[Snotcicles]

16. Fortunately their pool of idiots is shrinking every day. nt
