MSNBC: Romney Likes Uniforms So Much He Repeatedly Impersonated A Police Officer
by David Badash on June 7, 2012

MSNBC host of “The Last Word” Lawrence O’Donnell last night told the shocking story that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney in college dressed up in an actual police officer’s uniform and impersonated a police officer. His impersonatings included pulling over cars in his white Rambler with a flashing rad police siren on top. The act of repeatedly impersonating a police officer is a felony, O’Donnell’s guest said. Here’s O’Donnell’s opening comment:

Quote: When Mitt Romney wasn’t gay-bashing kids whose hair he didn’t like, Mitt Romney ’s other favorite sick thing to do was to impersonate a police officer. In an exclusive article just released tonight by the National Memo, details emerge of a Mitt Romney who as a college freshman at Stanford University allegedly admitted to fellow dorm mates that he sometimes disguised himself as a police officer and laid out on his bed was a Michigan state trooper’s uniform. One of the people who saw the uniform said he told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father, George Romney, then the governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniformed troopers. He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white Rambler. We thought it was all pretty weird. We all thought, wow, that’s pretty creepy. And after that, we didn’t have much interaction with him. Hundreds of thousands of men Mitt Romney ’s age got uniforms in those days the old fashioned way, by being drafted into military service. Mitt Romney avoided that with four consecutive draft deferments that he obtained that allowed him to, like his father before him and his sons after him, avoid combat in the war of his era, the Vietnam War.

<..> Romney dodged the draft by getting four deferments and heading off to the Mormon battleground of… Paris.

Romney is not only a liar, but twisted to boot.

Just how weird is Willard?

Not just creepy, what he did was illegal.

[MilesColtrane]

Either that, or he was trying the "There is one way you can get out of me giving you a ticket, ma'am" ploy.

Uptight religious freak that he is, I wouldn't put that past him.

The more you hear about this guy, the more creepy he gets

Imagine if it emerged that President Obama or Senator Kerry or Bill Clinton had pulled a stunt like this. Their political careers would be over. The allegations alone would end them. But such is the double standard that Mittens will not get a second glance, although hopefully it will help to contribute to the negative perceptions about him that will further serve to undermine his presidential campaign

Between this and the lies about wanting to go to Vietnam when he actively pursued deferment, me thinks his credibility with his base is toast.

His base is a bunch of moronic fools.

I think this points to a common theme of an authoritarian mindset. Why did dressing up as an authority figure appeal to him? Mormon leaders frowned on long hair for men when that hair cutting incident happened. I wonder if it was as much about hammering down the nail that stuck out. Mormon beliefs have a very authoritarian aspect to them.
I suspect that if Romney were allowed to govern as he pleased then his inner authoritarian fascist would emerge. I keep thinking back to his '08 concession speech when he said being the world's economic super power is in America's DNA. Belief in genetic superiority + Manifest Destiny + Belief in divine mandate + authoritarian mindset = theocratic fascism.

Very weird and creepy. Wonder how Mitwit will spin this. Probably won't recall it.

No doubt he'll laugh it off.

No doubt. Mitt has the mindset of a serial killer, and no, I'm not being facetious. He does things that are mean, cruel, etc., and when he gets caught, he just laughs them off. I doubt he has the capacity for empathy at any level.

I honestly think he's a sociopath.

This is like something that, as a woman, you get emails from friends warning you about.

Very weird.

Exactly!

Like most chickenhawks and keyboard kommandos, he'll wear the uniform for a couple of hours and as a prank. Doing it for real is beneath him; that's for the saps that are too poor or too stupid to get out of it.
