Romney the Bully

Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: ''Last week, I was invited to speak to 40 high school freshman about human rights. When we discussed the right to be free from torture, I asked the students if they could think of an example of torture. They said, 'bullying.' A major problem among teens, bullying can lead to depression and even suicide. When most people list the qualities they want to see in their president, 'bully' is not one of them.''
