Lawrence O’Donnell Challenges Mitt Romney’s Son to a Fist Fight on MSNBC: ‘Anytime, Anywhere’


Quote:
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell seemed to think he was trying out for a part in Martin Scorsese’s Boston-based crime flick “The Departed” during his show on Thursday night.

Putting on his best tough guy act, O’Donnell, with a heavier Boston-Irish accent than he usually sports, called out GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s eldest son Tagg Romney for joking in a radio interview that he felt like he wanted to “take a swing” at President Obama after he called his dad a liar in the second presidential debate on Tuesday.

Just for reference, when asked how he felt when Obama called his dad a liar, Tagg said he wanted to “jump” out of his seat and “rush down to the stage and take a swing at him. 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.”

“OK Taggart. Let’s have a little talk, just you and me. You–” O’Donnell began.

He continued: “When I hear you talk about taking a swing and taking punches, why do I get the feeling you have never actually taken a punch, or thrown a punch. I didn’t have that luxury in the part of Boston I grew up in. But in your rich, suburban, Boston life, with your father filling a $100 million trust fund for you. I don’t know, I just get the feeling things were kind of different for you.”

Taking the high road, O’Donnell then made fun of Tagg Romney for having the name “Taggart,” saying he has the right to be “pissed off” for his entire life because of his name.

But then things got awkward. O’Donnell got up out of his chair, called Romney a “liar” and seemingly challenged Tagg Romney to an actual fist fight.

“You’re mad at President Obama for calling your father a liar?” O’Donnell asked rhetorically, a very heavy Irish-Boston accent suddenly present in his voice. “Let’s get something straight. He didn’t call your father a liar. I did. I’ve been saying all year that your father is a liar. I’ve repeatedly said that your father lies and is 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. Come on. Come on,” O’Donnell challenged. “And don’t worry. There won’t be any Secret Service involved. Just us. And I’ll make it easy for you. I’ll come to you. Anytime, anywhere. Go ahead, Taggart. Take your best shot.”
As a son, I'd imagine you get pissed off hearing so many attacks on your father (Even though his comments were to be taken as a joke and even said you can't do that because it's "not part of the process")...

But O'Donnell is 50 times more pissed than Tagg could ever be...You see...Messiah Man-crush puppet-slaves take things so much more personal than actual family members...

Keep it classy!...

O'Donnell's obviously not aware that all Mormons are trained in the art of Mormon jui-jistsu. It's based on the finely honed skill of breaking up fights between four wives.

I'm assuming you mean because of rivrrat's chocolate comment and not O'Donnell's machismo...

That's what a Boston tough guy looks like? The kind that went to the best schools in the burbs and Harvard? And with a name like Laurence you make fun of Tagg?

The night of the last debate, Mr. Romney blamed parents for the violent tendencies of their children. Then Tagg Romney said he wanted to punch the President.

I think O'Donnell was just acting and calling out Tagg Romney.
