[Cali_Democrat]

4. BWHAHAHAHAA!!!

The Boston accent and everything! Love it!!!

[TahitiNut]

9. The Southie came out. "Fahthah" "Liah" "Cahm ahn"

I can imagine seeing Tagg crossing over to the other side of the street if he even thought Lawrence was coming his way.

5. Loved every second!! Lawrence was great- especially loved

him channeling his old Boston self with the accent....

One of the best pieces of television in recent memory....

[Quixote1818]

6. My family just heard me laughing so loud they thought something bad had happened!

[Cha]

7. Wow! thanks PL! So it was the North Carolna

radio hack that set tagg up for the sleaze shot! rofl

[beac]

8. Thanks for posting this!

Funny how Taggie didn't want to "rush the stage" when his own dad called HIM a liar.

10. I Had a Feeling He'd Have Something to Say About Tagg on the Show...

Get 'em O'Donnell!

[LaPera]

11. Lawrence O'Donnell is as good as anyone on TV - I never miss his show!

I Tivo his show (The Last Word) to make sure I never miss it - He's great!

In the Republican face nightly with truth and exposing their lies each night!!

[GreenTea]

12. Cheers to Lawrence - The Best!

[Astazia]

13. THIS WAS INSANE! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

LAWRENCE ROCKED THIS! I have be really upset since I heard this Tagg person say he wanted to throw a punch at the President! Every show on Current & MSNBC had something about this story, but none as royally a smackdown as was Lawrence O'Donnell's. We saw it live & will DVR it when it repeats later tonight. The total lack of respect shown our current and soon to be re-elected President Barack Obama is the worst I've ever seen! (no spring chicken here) The "southie" from Boston did us all proud!


"GO AHEAD TAGGART, TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT"

Lawrence is wicked smart! And that's the last word from me for now. (posted earlier)

14. I detest the Romney's

as much as anyone, but I feel this is being overblown.

There are times I feel like smacking someone as well and have even said so. But, like Tagg, I know that I can't. Tagg indicated that he knew that this was all just part of the political process. It was clear that he was not making a legitimate threat but speaking rhetorically.

Let's not become like the Republican's by misrepresenting what was meant.

IMO O'Donnell looks and acts ridiculous in this video. He looks like a childish bully. It's easy for O'Donnell to come across tough when he knows there is no danger of having to back up his words.

The Republicans are the ones who have always given the appearance of being the Bully. Thanks Lawrence for giving them a platform to point the finger back at us.

18. I have to agree with you. Might have been edgy television, but he undercut the

seriousness of what he had just laid out about the spineless Romney family, past and present.

Just kinda weird.

[reflection]

24. I googled the video just now. Lawrence looked like a fool.

Which is a shame. It was just so clownish and pointless. Like Tagg is going to say "OH HELL YES, IT'S ON!"

He should have just stuck to browbeating the little shit.

[ann---]

27. No, it isn't overblown

This is a supposedly religious Mormon saying he'd like to take a swing at the PRESIDENT of the U.S. Doesn't matter what the reason is - is that the way he was taught to react? I don't think so.

And - just think if one of President Obama's BLACK relatives or children would have said that about wanting to "swing" at someone for all the horrible things said about their father. Just WHAT do you think the press would be calling them? I'll tell you - "Angry black people."

It's totally immature and hides a violent nature - not for THINKING about hitting someone - but for actually SAYING it.

And - O'Donnell wasn't the bully he was responding to a BULLY. Just what we wanted the President to do in the second debate.
O'Donnell responded in kind - which was pure gold.

15. "Romneymen." The new "girlymen." nt

[mucifer]

16. Lawrence can be very juvenile. I was annoyed.

[jerseyjack]

17. Replicates' wiring gets damaged if it gets wet. These 6 were the earlier models.

[Myrina]

20. I was speechless when I saw this 'live'.

[Ineeda]

21. Kick-ass Lawrence.

I'd pay to see that.

[OldDem2012]

22. The only way Tagg would throw a punch is if the person he was punching...

...was being held down by several other people.

Like father, like son.

[Mc Mike]

23. Thanks, PL.

Right on Mr. O'Donnell!

[blueredneck]

25. Wonder if he’s from Brockton MA?

He’s definitely walking around like he’s rumbled in an alley a time or two. LOL

26. Shit's getting wild...

We have almost 3 weeks to go....

29. THAT WAS AWESOME...!

Lawrence is great!

[D23MIURG23]

31. I like O'Donnell generally, but this clip reminds me of...

The asshole media blowhard from V for Vendetta, and I really prefer to think of Bill O'Reilly when I see that movie.

Tagg isn't a "tough guy", and his "take a swing" comment came off as impotent and pathetic. No need to counter it with more stupid "tough guy" bullshit.

[Politicub]

32. Tagg Romney is super creepy

With a violent streak to boot.
