This is far from the only illegal shit he's gotten away with.

Don't be a bully, be a STAR.

They're able to demonstrate what an asshole Mitt is at every phase of his life. It's like "Citizen Kane" except everyone you interview says "yup, he was an asshole" and there's no sense of character growth or change at any point.

Turns out Mitt is the real-life version of all the assholes William Zabka used to play.

What's really sickening is that the idea of a super-rich-guy born into wealth who behaves like he's got no empathy for anyone, especially if his target isn't also of privilege, gives a lot of the GOP a raging boner.

I think it's a telling part of his personality. And it's far from the only dirt they can dig up from his past. All you have to do is look at his years at Bain Capital to see that he didn't gain empathy or compassion as he aged.

Yeah people can change but it's rare that they're a Joffrey Baratheon as a child and grow up to be a Ned Stark.

Yeah I went there.

Please stay there and don't come back >:(

What'd be really funny is if a mob got together and held Romney down while they shaved his ass.

THAT IS A JOKE

DO NOT DO THAT

CHRIST

Yeah, he's in his sixties. His ass is not a thing the public needs to see.

This.

Fuck that asshole.

Yes, what Teener said. This is what I came in here to say.

this, exactly this.

Yeah, one of the guys interviewed in the article claims he ran into the bullied man years later at an airport bar and was told the incident still haunted him to that day.

I wish I had more stars to give for this comment.

Even worse, he could be one of those bullies who don't realize they're being bullies. They actually think the victim is in on the "joke" and it's all a bunch of good-natured roughhousing and fraternal antics. It's a weird mixture of self-delusion and vanity.

Years ago, I crossed paths with one of my former tormenters from high school. He acted like we were old pals. I was polite, but not friendly and tried to end the conversation quickly so I could be on my way. He asked if something was wrong with me and I told him I didn't want to be around him because he treated me like shit when we were kids. This seemed to genuinely confuse him.

I told him all the punches, headlocks and loudly greeting me with "Hey, faggot!" in the middle of the cafeteria while he helped himself to part of my lunch were horrible things to do to a kid half his size, but he still seemed confused.

When I walked away, he shouted after me, "You laughed. I remember you laughing and smiling!" I just kept walking. Maybe he was remembering his cronies laughing at his bullshit and over time it became me laughing, too.

There's still a complete lack of empathy in there. It's like the difference between children who enjoy being cruel to a family pet, and those who are cruel simply because they don't think of the animal's well-being. I didn't start this out as a dig at Romney, but I see that kind of happened along the way.

Binro - uh wow, that is psychologically fascinating.

There is either a lack of empathy or he's so unable to process what he did he has to change the memories in order to live with himself.

I'd go with complete lack of empathy, at least in this sort of situation (they might show empathy in other situations but certainly not this one). The guy's having fun, he's provoking laughs, he's experiencing the all-natural high that comes from showing dominance and being praised for it. If there's any voice of empathy in him, it's easy to ignore.

Any contemplation after the fact no doubt trades heavily in denial and rationalization.

If by that you mean he's insincere in every way possible, then yes, I agree.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Greg Haidl's antics are legitimately hilarious if you stop thinking about the victim's suffering.

Sorry, should have spelled that "victims'". I forgot about the mistrial party rape. Holy fuck I hate cops.

Only if it was committed by a rich person against a poor person. They're like dogs that walk upright and wear the most adorable outfits while thinking they're people; anything that happens to them is automatically hilarious, because everything about them is.

Be fair; he would laugh only after the rich person fired the maid.

Especially now that he's dead.

Wait that would mean a zombie throttling a robot

I am for this!
