ACTUALLY challenging Tagg Romney to a fist fight. Tagg did say he felt like he'd like to take a swing at Obama - but anyone listening to the context knows he spoke only of feelings of frustration, and never considered wanting to do it for real.

And it was a stupid dumb move beneath anyone associated with a Presidential campaign. Tagg should have known better. But the wealthy and privileged like the Romneys still believe they're above everyone else and can do whatever the hell they want. As for Lawrence's so-called 'lies'... he's got facts on his side. Facts which you like to conveniently ignore as an apologist for your cult.

Originally Posted By skinnerbox How nice of Josh to actually point out the lies that Lawrence supposedly told about his church. Why is that, Josh? Are you afraid that folks on these boards who have actual facts at their disposal might prove you wrong? It's time to put up or shut up, Josh. Tell us all precisely what Lawrence said about LDS that's an actual lie.

Apparently they either endorse every inflammatory thing Limbaugh, Hannity, Levon, Savage, ad nauseum have said or they're just idiots. Or both.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 LOL Tagg was an idiot to say what he did. Even if Obama couldn't deck that little entitled prep school snot, which I believe he could. O'Donnell didn't say he wanted to hit Tagg; he invited Tagg to take a swing at him I.e. " you want to take a swing at someone? Try me." It was empty posturing, similar to Tagg's. Never going to happen in either case. Machismo malarkey in both cases, IMO.

Anyway, it's simply a conservative blogger's letter to MSNBC, whining about Lawrence O'Donnell offering to fight Tagg Romney. So what? Tagg was the one who started this, by making a comment about "taking a swing" at President Obama: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/tagg-romney-obama_n_1976186.html" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...186.html</a> <> Tagg Romney Jokes About Taking A 'Swing' At Obama After Heated Debate Posted: 10/17/2012 9:52 pm EDT Updated: 10/18/2012 11:25 am EDT Mitt Romney's eldest son weighed in on the second presidential debate on Wednesday, joking that the debate's contentious nature made him want to "take a swing" at President Obama. During an interview with North Carolina radio host Bill LuMaye, Tagg Romney said that hearing the president call his father a liar made him want to "jump out of [his] seat and ... rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him." He continued: "But you know you can't do that because, well first because there's a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because this is the nature of the process, they're going to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he's not. We signed up for it. We've gotta kinda sit there and take our punches and then send them right back the other way." Romney, who has reportedly taken on a bigger role in his father's campaign in recent weeks, also divulged that Mitt often gets nervous ahead of debates. "He's terrified before he gets out there," Romney said. "Terrified is too strong of a word, but he's like anybody. He gets butterflies a little bit." <> So, Tagg wanted to take a swing at President Obama because Obama called his father a liar? Well... Mitt is a liar. It's been proven by dozens of sources. He's habitual about lying. He lies more often than he tells the truth. Both you and Donny have been asked repeatedly on these boards, Josh, to refute the "fact-checking" on Romney's statements after the debates, in the other threads devoted to Romney's lies. And for some reason, neither you nor Donny can offer up any proof that the lies Romney has been called on are actually truthful, and Romney's critics are wrong. Lawrence O'Donnell had every right to challenge that privileged little rich snot, Tagg Romney, to a fight, given what Tagg said after his father clearly lost the debate. Tagg was p*ssed that Obama performed better than his dad and couldn't handle his emotions like an adult. Tagg needs to face the music of talk like that, as non-rich bullies have been forced to do on the mean streets of the 99% where there aren't any gated mansions for the bullies to hide in.

An Obama victory will be wonderful, and by far the best thing for this country. Seeing the dreams of power and glory dashed from these Romney creeps will be almost as sweet!
