Tagg Romney's 'Take a Swing' at Obama Comment -- TYT

submitted by Boise_Lib

1 decade 2 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

YouTube Description:

Some of the verbal punches thrown by President Obama during Tuesday night's debate made Mitt Romney's son want to throw one of his own.During an interview with a North Carolina radio station, Tagg Romney was asked how he feels when Obama accuses his father of being "a liar.""Jump out of your seat and you want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him," he responded with a laugh, according to a recording obtained by BuzzFeed."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 gonna try to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he's not.""We signed up for it, we've got to kind of sit there and take our punches, and then send them right back the other way," he added." Cenk Uygur and Jayar Jackson analyze Tagg Romney's comment, media characterization, and what the backlash might have been if roles were reversed.

Tagg?

I'm not sure if Taggart is any better.

He's not the first Taggart with an itch to take a swing at a black fella.

Does anyone believe for a second this individual could land a punch if his life depended on it... without having to pay someone to do it for him at least.

I imagine it would go something like this, with Obama playing the role of Kip.

Just shows his character. Instead of using his brain, he'd rather haul back and hit someone.

The taxocrat-loyal media tried to blame the attack on Gabrielle Giffords by a lone douchebag gunman on Republicans.

ahhh the violence-prone right

Ah, I see.

...no actually, I don't follow.>> ^quantumushroom:
