As I stated to Darla, you are projecting the emotions you want him to have onto him. You have no idea. You just want to project the worst in some pathetic attempt to use an event from 50 years ago to promote your master.
You are trying to exploit the victim. Or did you fail to see the comments from his sisters? The one that stated they thought the victim would be pissed that you and those like you were using this for political reasons. Did you miss that? Because they were quite clear on it. But let me guess, you think the Obama campaign worker knew the guy better than his sisters did... right? It is not a straw man... it is a fact. You are using this incident for political purposes. You are projecting the emotions YOU want him to have onto him, when he isn't here to speak. His family stated they were unhappy with those who would wish to use him for political reasons, yet you and your ilk continue to do so... and you have the nerve to call me craven.
I don't doubt that many today would feel that way. Saying something could potentially be traumatizing is easy to do. What you are saying is that it WAS traumatizing. Anything 'could' be traumatizing. We all react to different circumstances in different ways. Obviously you would have crawled up into a fetal position and then killed yourself if someone had cut your hair. We get that. You have displayed for us exactly how you would have responded. Your problem again is that you are trying to project your response and reaction to the kid that got his hair cut. That is where you fail. That is where your desperation has led you. Down a pathetic path of taking a dead guys experience from 50 years ago and trying to use him for your political masters gain.
