Oct 2012

asked you how you felt, is there any chance you
might have said you felt like punching him? I sure
did, and I've often felt like clobbering a lot of liars.

There's a difference between having a passionate
angry feeling, and making threats or exhibiting real
violence. Do you disagree?

I'm not equating Bush's lies with Obama, not by any
kind of short or long shot. And no way I want to
excuse any of Romney's cheat and deceit. If his
kid was angry, I don't blame him. I don't believe he
was threatening the president, nor exhibiting
violent proclivities. Maybe I'm wrong.

The reference to birthers was because it seems too
many people are seizing on this statement of Tagg's,
and -- this is only my opinion -- it makes them look
silly, the way birthers look silly. Are silly.
