Let me preface this by saying that I'm not the biggest fan of Romney and I am a life-long dog lover. But this is an example of another MSM hits finally making it on social media, and I think it's hilarious how they have selective memories when it comes to Obama.
I saw someone on my flist post this:
"Please share this. Thank you!

Spreading Romney has gotten off of the front page of Google. Whatever your feelings on Dan Savage, the reason behind him starting this site is a just one -
Mitt Romney shared this story about strapping his dog to the roof of his car as a way to "connect with the common man." I don't want an animal abuser in the White House, how about you? Anyone who is that cavalier about abusing animals won't give a crap about abusing humans, either.
Please share this far and wide. Thank you for your support.
This sickens me. I thought I couldn't be more sickened by Mitt Romney. Please click the long link and read the story on Wikipedia about the Romney family vacation of June 1983. It will open your eyes even more to the kind of man Romney is."
(Probably doesn't matter but this flister is from the UK)
Okay - first of all, I first heard about this a few months ago *at least*. It's only making the rounds on LJ now?? I guess someone's really feeling threatened by the possibility that Romney might actually defeat Obama....
I felt compelled to comment and inform her that Obama used to *eat* dog. Isn't that abuse of sorts? I'm sure they'd rebut with "Oh but that was years ago and he never said he liked it! Plus he has Bo now!" Well, this Romney thing was years ago, too. Again I'm not the biggest Romney fan and I don't condone what he did, but honestly, the one-sided drama queens just make me shake my head. I'd comment to her but she's a decent person otherwise (has never posted about politics before with the exception of her opposition to SOPA/PIPA/ACTA) and I don't feel like getting into an argument.
