MSNBC host Lawrence ODonnell challenged Republican nominee Mitt Romneys son, Tagg, to a fight at the conclusion of his program Thursday evening:
LAWRENCE ODONNELL: Okay, Taggert, lets have a little talk, just you and me. When I hear you talk about taking a swing and taking punches, why do I get the feeling that you have never actually taken a punch or thrown a punch? I didnt have that luxury in the part of Boston that I grew up in, but in your rich, suburban Boston life, with your father filling $100 million trust fund for you? I dont know. I just get the feeling that things were different for you. Now, I know youve got a lot a lot to be pissed off at these days starting with the name Taggert, which you have every right to be pissed off with every day for the 42 years of your life. Let me try to help you deal with his aggression you are feeling right now. Youre mad at President Obama for calling your father a liar? Lets get something straight. He didnt call your father a liar. I did. The president just said that what your father said isnt true. I have been saying all year that your father is a liar, Ive repeatedly said that, that your father lies and has been trying to lie his way into the White House. So you want to take a swing at someone for calling your old man a liar? Take a swing at me, and dont worry, there wont be any Secret Service involved. Just us. And Ill make it easy for you. Ill come to you any time, anywhere. Go ahead Taggert, take your best shot.
And it's the Democrats that are supposed to be the tolerant ones.
