Bully Politics

(2012)
Abstract
Romney’s days as a gay-bashing high school bully, back in 1965, have been making headlines this week, causing his supporters to cry foul. It was, after all, 1965, they argue. To some, that means that what we call bullying, a hate crime, was just clean old prep school “high jinks” back in the day. You see, those were the good old days, back before all those dang guvmint regulations y’all know as civil rights laws began their attack on “traditional American values.”
