Mitt Romney Finance Big Wig Charged with Child Abuse
By bluegal Thursday Sep 06, 2007 5:17pm
It never stops. Nothing like job security for the Crooks and Liars staff, though:
[Former Romney financier] Lichfield is named in a federal lawsuit charging that students of the "behavior modification" schools with ties to WWASPS [Worldwide Association of Specialty Schools, founded by Lichfield] were subjected to "physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse." ...not much has been heard about this in all the yelling and screaming over Hsu even though [Litchfield]'s been bringing in far more money for Flip Flop than Hsu has brought in for Democrats.
DWT wants to know if Romney, Orrin Hatch, and other Lichfield wingnut beneficiaries will return the money or donate it to charity, as Democrats have announced they will do with the Hsu donations. We're waiting....

Figure the odds...
Spare the rod and spoil the child. And what's with Romney and dog cages?
Don't worry -- the Democrats will find a way to completely blow the political gifts the Republicans keep giving them.
Being a saint and a future god, I'd think Mitt would be able to look through a rock or magic glasses and do a better job vetting his supporters. Larry Craig comes to mind. (bad image there)
Why are the stars on the GOP thing upside down? I wrote and asked them once but they never wrote back.
The press seems all over this Hu (Hsu) character/ fundraiser the Democrats seem to have. Does anyone know if Hu/ Hsu every helped fundrais for Republicans? The reason I ask is with Abramoff, the press tried really hard to make the scandal bipartisan because some of Abramoff's fellow travelers had helped, though very rarely, Democrats. Thus it was a bipartisan scandal.
But with Hu/ Hsu, it's totally a Democrat scandal.
Be that as it may. Hu/Hsu cannot compare to this guy. Do you think the press will notice? I suspect the Faux News is already trying to see if this guy ever spoke to a Democrat. If you can't hide the scandal, at least they might be able to (falsely) make it bipartisan.
I hear crickets....
I'm not sure any of this will do any more than make you feel good.
They are thugs - a third of the US just loves it and the rest are ok with it just as long as the thugs go after you and not them.
The people of the US likes war and death, they arent opposed to war or 'kicking butt'. They are abandoning Iraq because they wont back a loser. If US werent losing, they would be scheduling their next vacation in Baghdad. Dont believe me? International crimes have clearly been committed. Do you actually think the US population would consider prosecuting those crimes? ... and why? While they object to being personally lied to and having their money taken ... war they neither mind or think is illegal.
These thugs will fight you on every level. They will fight you in your primaries, in the definitions of district boundries, in your right to have your vote counted and more.
You will point fingers.
Until you understand power and how to use it, take control of the ballot, take control of the congressional districts, take control of the 'dialog' and more ...
You lose ... they win.
... and yes, they are criminal thugs. What does that say about those that sent them to Washington?
NO. Republicans love money to much
Job security sure, but you must get tired. Drinking from a firehose and all that...
Mark @ 6:
This morning Ann Currie (sp) identified Hsu as a democratic fundraising criminal. His crimes had nothing to do with either democrats or fundraising. On the other hand, Abramoff's (sp) crimes had to do specifically with political fundraising.
Dont be naive. This is a fascist state. Republicans are fascists. (serving corporations over the citizen) Democrats are the enemy and will be villified - including Currie ...
... and including Arianna Huffington, who is an acting part of this propoganda machine ..

... not she perpetuates the notion that abramoff == Hsu. Dont be surprised to see the right quote 'even a leftist website' on this issue.
I'm sorry that this might offend the huffington appologists. It is what it is. Her headline equates Hsu and abramoff.
... not she perpetuates should be ... note she perpetuates
Won't someone please alert that champion of the underdog, Bill O'Reilly, so he can get right on it! Maybe he can send a film crew to this pervert's house. I'll bet he's undocumented, to boot. Double-bill!
Okay, because I am a bleeding heart, tree hugging liberal, I am going to say about this what I said about Hsu and the dems. If Mitt didn't know this guy was a nightmare, I can't hold it against him. Having said that, I will hold it against him if he doesn't shed the money and fast.
I think this Hu (Hsu) or whatever thing is a non-story. I still want to hear more about the close assistant Romeny used to have--I believe his name was Jay Garrity--who used to pretend that he and his Romney-bot fucktards were police officers and threaten people if they came to close to Mitt Flopney!
They even had bogus fucking badges printed up!!!!
quote: "Lichfield is named in a federal lawsuit charging that students..."
Many of you guys may be suffering from the whole "if its in the news it must be true" syndrome and "the seriousness of the charge is more important than the facts" disease. Be patient to spill your evil everywhere, because as it says in the first line...charging, not GUILTY. I'm not saying he's not guilty, but he's only charged at the moment. Patience, patience, patience.

I know. Three pentagrams, right out there in the open; it's very odd. A lot of work goes into creating graphics and logos of any stripe and every design element is considered, tweaked and changed many times (generally speaking, I should say. There are entire websites dedicated to hilariously bad logos). It's no accident that those 3 stars are upside down (one for each digit in the number of the beast, eh?). So....why? Or more importantly: can any republican answer why?
the "family values" party
"Behavior modification" schools? Are those the place where they cure the gay?
Dog Abuse.
Child Abuse.
Romney For President.
Mitt Romney's dog strapped to a car rooftop for twelve hours, Michael Vick's dog-fighting, Leona Helmsley's 12 million dollar Maltese, and this endless spate of child abuse stories, which have been in the press for the better part of this decade, (google: Boy Scout Leaders, 5,000, for the latest), point to a much deeper American problem, culturally, than it being simply a Repukelican/Dem issue, which is...

brack @ 16:
That was my first thought, too, BUT...
If this guy was involved with a Democratic candidate this would be plastered all over the MSM right now.
Again, though, he's only named in the lawsuit, and who knows how hands-on Lichfield has been with the schools or the students.
What does it say when a presidential candidates is getting almost as many gaffs and scandals as the current POTUS? If all stuff is going on before even the primaries take place, imagine what a corrupt hellhole Romney's administration would be if he really did make to the White House?
So if we raise hell about one thing, that means we can't also care about something else?
Nyc, the conclusion drawn by that quote is false.
What the hell is it with the GOP these days?... Are they ALL corrupt and/or peerved out and/or self hating closet cases!!????? Right down to the office pogue responsible for changing the printer paper!!???? Good grief....WTF!!!! JD
As an addictions counselor familiar with Alice Miller`s work,I can attest to the reality that America is one of the most dangerous places on earth for children.I`ve seen it first hand.It does not surprise me in the least that this kind of abuse is prevalent in the GOP.The problem is that it`s prevalent in a high percentage of homes in this country.It is changing,but ever so slowly,and people like this evil bastard do everything they can to distort and discredit an educational system that addresses child abuse,neglect,abandonment,and enmeshment issues.Because they have the fucking money and power,that`s why.
Read Drama of the Gifted Child or For Your Own Good by Miller to see just how powerful this "poisonous pedagogy" is.
It is the reason Bush and Cheney rule.It is the reason many ofthe rich are so shameless.Shame is one of the main earmarks.
But don`t take my word for it .Read Miller or Arthur Silber`s essays.His insight on how this leads to endless war is awesome.
republicans the party of filth!
It`s not just the Rethugs.They couldn`t do it without the Dems--and you
Geez, get a clue, people. Hsu is a paid agent of the Chinese government.
Nice crew, Mitt
anon @ 11:
I just caught a few minutes on Faux Noise, the "Gibson Show" whereon he had some
lady(that is truly an undeserved compliment) who was trashing Hillary because she
alleges that Sen. Clinton knew of Hsu's l o n g history of inappropriate contributions
and actions...and this woman did about as dirty a piece of reporting(her opinion) NOT
based upon anything other than the "hate" it was evident she directed toward Hillary.
And, of course, Gibbon(the monkey) agreed with all the shit that spewed from the
mouth of the lady "Fox contributor". How in the world does Fox get by with such
outlandish lies/distortions and "slander"??? Fox has got to be the worst and most
biased and slanted "news???" channel I have ever viewed...and it should be stripped
of any FTC licening...shut down and fined $5BILLION. I HATE Faux Noise !!!
I'm noticing this thread is veering into the Hsu story... Don't know if that is hi-jacking, or not. But I'll play.... Here's the reality as far as I know... Hsu is some kind of con artist... He's managed to make a career of this and situated himself within the political contributor community associating himself with the dem supporters near as I can tell as a stratagy of hiding in plain sight... As a strategy, turns out it was pretty good... Evil corrupt, immoral but pretty good as a strategy... otherwise his ass would have been caught years ago...
His original crimes were outstanding for at least a decade but was he held accountable...nada.... I'm tellin ya folks, running scams to make money off other peoples backs can't work unless you either keep moving or you buy or create protection... Looks like Hsu managed both for a long time... I don't know why he turned himself in last week, in San Mateo I think.. But that is when it all started to go south for this plucky little scheming prick....
Now I back dems (even now so far) and progressive causes and all that and I know this man is plowed serious money into some of that... Doesn't matter... Fucker needs to be jailed... And, as it turns out.. He punked a judge this time publically by skipping out on his bail hearing... Methinks this time, bail ain't going to enter into the proceedings as well it should not...He has already proven time and again he is a flight risk... I say throw his ass in jail without bail and try him for his crimes.... Then when convicted, (and I'm pretty sure he's gonna go down, and I suspect he feels the same which is what drove his actions) ...ship him to lompoc or corcoran... somewhere that ain't a clubfed........

Including the group from www.impeachbush.org
“physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse.”
Since they support these procedures in Abu and Gitmo, I don't see why they would spurn the money. This is right up their alley.

Interesting, I never noticed that till you all said something and I design logos and graphics for a living.
The intention may not be to have the point face down. If you look at it another way the star could be tilted 45 degrees so the top is pointing forward at two o'clock, as in the Republicans are the looking forward party. But it can also be seen as tilted backward.
It could be that a Democratic or liberal graphic designer designed it and played a trick and put the stars upside down and the Republicans still haven't caught on.
It is kind of unusal which fits their image.
And to think my neighbors and HOA got angry at me for hanging my American flag upside down. Now I can tell them, "Well look at your stupid logo, the stars are all upside down!"
The GOP appears to be a sort of non-stop diarrhea oozing over the land, doesn't it?
Republican hypocrisy - the gift that keeps on giving. I've always said that hubris is my favorite fatal flaw.

I'm not American and can't vote. Don't include me. I have been more actvisit than 70% (guessing) of Americans themselves. But, point taken, and true. "The People" "voted?" (see Dieblod, re:??) for this mess TWICE.
Trix4Kids: I read somewhere that they changed the stars sometime in the 80's with the rise of the religious wing - apparently the way the stars were previously could be taken to be satanic (by people with way too llittle to do with their lives.)
I remember reading a book at my sisters house written by one of the religious nuts. Dobson as I recall. In it, he talked about 'beating the devil' out of your kids. Maybe in subsequent chapters they covered screaming the devil out, then fucking the devil out....
I went back through this comment section and these were the only facts that I could find in whole discussion. It no wonder we are a broken nation, we can't even speak in facts, just opinion. Let me know if I missed any.
And I saved this one for, but its not least...
This one is unverifiable, but I believe it.

Dog abuser Mitt hangs around the lowest of the low

I can't get enuff of your site bro....
What the hell is wrong with Repugslickens ....tell me what the hell it is ? really.
too much billo? too much faux? what can you explain why are they living in the 50's and not talking care of today? 29% 29%.. still in the dark?
There's a lot more to this story. The company is based in Utah, and standard oversight by Utah DSS has been thwarted by grease to the political machine.
In one of the more embarrassing chapters, Mexican authorities closed down operations of the company. I love Mexico, but when your ability to bribe and influence Utah officials is more successful than in Mexico, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of your stature of the banana republic scale.
Vis-a-vis the pentagrams on the Republican logo: pentagrams with two points up are said to represent Satanism and pentagrams with 1 point up are siad to represent Pagans and Wiccans and others like them. Totally different head, totally.
Republicans perhaps are actually followers of Alistair Crowley? How unfortunate for them.
