Mitt Romney’s psychopathic rage should frighten everyone (Video)

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/188177/mitt-romneys-psychopathic-rage-should-frighten-everyone-video/

from the link:

-snip-

It has been my thought for some time that Romney is, beneath it all, a psychopath who is just barely able to conceal his real face—his shadow self, to get Jungian for a moment. What we have below is four-year old campaign video evidence of that real Romney. This Romney is sublimated in order to make money and gain political power to make more money for him and his friends.

Watch the video, in which an AP reporter reminds Romney that his ’08 campaign was run by a lobbyist, and tell me if you cannot see that Romney’s shadow is aching to break out of his meat suit and beat the living shit out of the reporter. Romney’s face says everything and it is truly terrifying. Romney’s mask disappears and we are shown the psychopathic rage on which his entire business career and political ethos were founded: a blank expression concealing total rage at everyone in the world who doesn’t agree with him or whom he finds socially inferior.

Romney, not willing to be upstaged by a plebeian who called bullshit on his lie, finishes the press conference then circles back to the AP reporter for a second round. Watch his face and his eyes: they practically darken.

It is, quite simply, the psychopathology of privilege.

And that is the man who wants to run this country.

He is a nasty, nasty person.

I'm not sure "psychopath" is necessarily correct, but that a politician, of all people, would behave this way in public, in front of cameras, and not be able to control himself is pretty revealing.

I see a prep school bully, backed by his posse of his rich boy clique, chasing down a lone, shy, outsider, wrestling him to the ground, and attacking him by cutting his hair.
I have read that forcibly cutting someones hair is a metaphor of rape.
