Once again, you really need to stop assuming my thoughts on this.
First of all, I in no way endorse what Romney did. It wasn't a prank. It wasn't just childish fun. It was an attack on someone who acted and looked differently than Romney considered acceptable.
But yet, this is something that happened 47 years ago. It is entirely possible that this action shows an underlying mindset that has been maintained for his entire life. Or, it is also possible that he grew up and a few years later and would never even think about doing something similar to another person. Right now, my guess is on the second. He is still an asshole but I doubt those actions reflect the person he is now.
Although, I don't feel sorry for him at all. As glatt mentioned, he opened up his childhood to try to improve his appearance but it ended up hurting him. I just doubt that action is reflective of him now.
