News flash!!!

People care as much about the partially fabricated news story about some hazing that took place a few decades ago as they do about this email.

There is no evidence Romney is a rich evil capitalist just like there is no evidence Barack Obama has done a good job as president. This is a non story just like the hazing story.  
move on

How is that story partially fabricated? Because you don’t like it? And which part of “rich evil capitalist” would you like to defend most? We can start wherever you like.

Well, he does go around baptizing strangers; even dead ones. How much more selfless can you get?
