The SS would have been on his ass in seconds.

Now THAT would be "must see tv".

I can just picture the SS tackle.

The secret service should investigate him.

try.

Douchebag bro son of a bitch.

should be enough to get him on the "no fly" list.

Don't remember where i saw it

BUTT-HURT, BUTT-HURT, BUTT-HURT..... its obvious that this family is not fit to be the first family of this country its sickening that they are even this close...

did Flurn have to say about this?

Love that meme.

Excellent.

I guess he was mad that it was announced on live TV.

How many aunt/moms do you think were in the Romney family tree?

when you need them? The whole family are elitist, feeling entitled when they aren't and has foot in mouth disease! Disgusting!

I am sure secret service would have interfered if he tried. Now, that I would have loved to see!

My response to it didn't make any sense because I thought you were saying that a person who names their kid "Tagg" thinks he is above the law. I get what you meant.
My bad!

There is a word for the propensity to attack, both verbally and apparently physically, the head of state.

It is called sedition.

When Jefferson, the poster boy and oft invoked original constitutional literalist, sat in the White House, it was a punishable crime; it's one thing to disagree with policies, priorities, leadership style or even character, but at some point "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about POTUS does in fact generate contempt for the United States government.

I guarantee you if Mr. Romney-in-charge received such disrespect from anyone subject to his authority as a CEO, he would have summarily fired, blackballed, and ruined that person.

Talk to some of the nuts out there supporting Romney and you'll see they have been whipped up into a frenzy of anti-Obama blood lust. If Romney can carry the day with those crazies backing him, it will be right up there with the rise of the National Socialists in 1930's era Germany.

But let's not forget that Hitler actually lost the 1932 election. Even if Romney is defeated here in 2012, the sedition has to stop before we find that eventually the gate keepers (US S.Ct.) succumb to the pressure of the incised fanatics and let a wolf in (and there are plenty of them lurking around in the ultra-conservative camp) and so the sheep will end up put to slaughter all the same.

I've never seen a potential First Family that has so little respect for our government and political process. We need to make sure Mitt loses so these clowns all become irrelevant. If it isn't Ann believing she's entitled to be the First Lady, or Mitt cutting off our President at a public forum, it's his son threatening the President with violence. I have the deepest contempt for this family right now.

at one point. Can you imagine what a show that would have been?

Romney pinned on the floor by Secret Service within seconds? On national TV?


Boom. Election over.

the explosion of joy that would cause.

Hopefully I'll find out during the next debate.

But the problem certainly would not. I don't think you're entirely serious!

But seriously, can you imagine the precedent set by such a thing?

We're not too many steps away from this scenario: Armed wingnuts feeling even more emboldened than they do now. GOP/TPers purposely running candidates who enjoyed threatening and goading their opponents just to embolden their base, or vice versa (we've been close to it already). Political events would be reduced to gladiator theatrics and what's left of our democracy would descend into even more of an idiocracy or anarchy.

I don't think so, and I hope not!

they are both very violent and unstable people!

when your family's in politics. Clearly too much to expect from the entitled spawn of the most entitled douchebag ever to run for President.

Tagg, if you want to fight, join one of our wonderful military Branches, (unlike your your dad) pick up a weapon, get your boots and we've got a post for you to stand somewhere in a far away land.

Welcome to DU!

would say they want to kick Mitt in the shins for being mean to their Daddy? We'd never hear the end of it!!

Tagg is a bully just like his dad.

who have been raised by thoughtful, well-mannered parents.

they could probably mop the floor with any one of the Romney boys in a debate.

And his father calls himself "Mitt."

Spoiled brats in that entire family.
