Romney%27s son tells radio host he wanted to hit the president during the debate

It seems to be getting uglier as countdown to Nov. 6, Election Day, continues. The usual furor over the presidential debate is still ongoing and one more controversy is brewing. One of Mitt Romney's sons, Tagg, said he wanted to hit President Obama during Tuesday night's debate.

Click on the above audio to hear Tagg say during a Bill LuMaye radio interview on Wednesday that he wanted to rush the stage and take "a swing" at the president.

The Bill LuMaye Show is aired on WPTF 680 AM and 850 AM in Raleigh, N.C. and Tagg was out pounding the pavement and drumming up support for his father.

After dropping by the talk radio show for a little Q & A, Tagg responded to this LuMaye's question, "I want to ask something that I know a lot of people want to know or at least I do, 'what is it like for you to hear the president of the United States call your dad a liar?'"

Tagg responded, with a chuckle,"Well, eh, you jump out of your seat, you want to rush down and take a swing at him."

Tagg went on to say he couldn't rush the stage and beat the hell out of the president because he was surrounded by the Secret Service. Well, he didn't use those words exactly but taking a swing means the same thing where I come from---give him a beat-down.

Instead of saying it was a poor joke and I respect the office of the president--he added fuel to the fire by saying he didn't jump President Obama because he had protection. I guess if he was alone Tagg would have taught him a lesson or two about messing with the Romneys.

Never mind his father also called the president a liar. (Remember that painfully awkward tussle over whether Obama had called the Benghazi killings a terrorist attack or not one day after in the White House's Rose Garden and moderator Candy Crowley had to fact-check Romney on the spot?)

But how dare President Obama call his father a liar, even though he has "inelegantly" stretched the truth and flip-flopped on numerous occasions. Even former President Bill Clinton is calling him a liar on his tax plan.

Shocked? I'm not.

A lot of people who are not clueless may feel the same way as Michelle Obama started the clapping for her husband, as the CNN moderator gave almost 4 minutes extra for Obama to lie about Benghazigate and the coverup thereafter, as the first debate moderator ALSO gave Obama four minutes extra to spout his ignorance.

MEANWHILE - LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO:

THE CHIEF OUTSOURCER

Obama Owns Shares of Sensata, Personally Benefits by Outsourcing of Jobs to China

The Obama October surprise has exploded with a whimper and not a bang.

Liberals have gone absolutely insane after snorting bathsalts under the name of “Sensata.” Supposedly, Romney is responsible for what Bain does 12 years after he left it, and Obama is not responsible at all for 4 years of failed economic policy.

And what is their claim? That Romney’s blind trust has holdings in this company that is off-shoring jobs from Illinois to China.

Pretty devastating. The only way this could be a dud is if Obama owned stock in this company as well…

For many sophisticated and wealthy investors, as well as for ordinary workers invested in pension funds, China is a part of any diversified investment strategy. President Obama, a former Illinois state senator, has as much as $100,000 in a state retirement plan that contains shares of Sensata Technologies, the same auto parts company controlled by Bain that is closing its Illinois factory.

Oh… it would seem that this is a non-story then, right?

Not when you’re snorting bathsalts.

Unfortunately the picture of Mitt Romney in his magical mormon underwear seeking Gods guidance is a picture of a vodoistic ritual that The Tea Party will be interested in tonight at the Exclusive expose of Romney the vodoo man on CNN
The stink of the Godly Undies Pictures will have thousands of right wing evangelicals flee from the romney pied piper trip.

At least, this precariously evil ninny-hammer refrained. Such an emotional instinct, however, does show a lack of commitment to the core cause. As a remedy, perhaps his father should send him to some lessons, to start studying the customs of civilize people.

Now it turns out Romney also lied about how he got his binders full of women. I don't know why character is not the prime issue in this election.

People may not agree with Obama's policies but at least we know where he stands on issues and can give a straight answer to a question. I see a blindness when it comes to Romney and his constant lying fed by fox. This is very bad for America.

I can't blame him for wanting to defend his father, but this is an inappropriate statement to make about the President. Rated up and shared.

Tagg responded, with a chuckle,"Well, eh, you jump out of your seat, you want to rush down and take a swing at him."

The key here is "with a chuckle," a lot to do about nothing.

I doubt the author gets that Karl. Maybe if Tagg had growled instead of chuckling, some more could've been added to the story.

Passive aggresiveness is a common characteristic of cult members..afraid that his fathers lies will be finally exposed he wants to defend the stupidity of the system he has been brainwashed to be a member of. He was embarrased that a black man would attack a Priest after the order of Melchizedec (His Dad)and he started thinking of putting him in his right place. His dad was unable to defend his nonsensical and dishonest plans so he chose to do it the mormon way: marginalize and attack any one who doesn't agree with them. God help the IRS guy who wants to hold Mitt accountable for evading taxes..watch out for Tagg. When the family dog was bad they punished him by tying him to the top of the car. If you diss us we will hold you down like an animal and cut your hair..A normal day in the life of a cult member.

The response by tagg was highly predictable because people that are victims of cultic brainwashing tend to suppress their emotions in an unhealthy way and when the boiling point comes they explode. Jim Jones sermonette to 1200 intelligent adults on the merits of drinking cyanide laced koolaid was only possible because of the continual brainwashing prior to this event. mormons are brainwashed from birth on what they can eat,what they can drink,what they can wear,what they are allowed to believe. The young men are taken away from their families for 2 years,prevented from having regular contact with their families (2 calls per year only),given agressive convert quotas and are snupervised with gestapo like intensity. Single woman are manipulated to marry by cultic fear that they cant go to Celestial heaven if they dont marry. They believe that sex sanctifies and purifies them. God help young mormons if they should fall in love with someone outside the cult..immediately kicked out.The young mormons struggle with gross stupidity re the outdated and satanic practices they are forced to observe. Wearing magical mormon underwear as a way to hear from God reeks of vodooism. How do you think tagg feels when the family goes to Church and his mother is forced to be treated like an unworthy and inferior person not able to participate in their secret temple rituals. Mormonism has brainwashed Tagg to believe that he is a priest after the order of melchizedec,they are the only true church and that if Obama gets to heaven he will spend eternity there as a slave. No wonder he wants to express his anger against a man that had no rights for 160 years and is a third rate candidate for a lower heaven. Cultists are angry people because their prison has been imposed on them by misguided parents and they have no personal ownership.

Going to the ballot box, is a civilize way for citizens to produce changes. There is no need for anyone trying to punish another, because they want to get their own choice elected. That is the civilize way of doing things in this 21st century.

Karl, there is never any justification for making threats, not even in jest. Therefore, I would not go as far as to say, thank's for your small mercy in making this excuse, because I have already perceived your mercy will be a naturally messy business and one sided.

ginger, wake up. He was asked how he felt about his father being a liar. I guess u have never said anything in jest. This is a lot about nothing. Anything to deflect the convo off the real issues.

Mitt Romney has a 7-point lead over President Obama among likely voters, according to Gallup’s latest daily tracking poll.

Romney takes 52 percent support to 45 percent for Obama, and also leads 48 percent to 47 among registered voters.

Tag, this is no joke! You threatened the President of the United States with violence. Like his dad, Tag Romney is just another spoiled brat Chicken Hawk. The American Presidential elections have resulted in numerous disasters due to violence. Robert Kennedy and George Wallace were Presidential candidates whom were victims of assassination attempts. Presidents Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan all were victims of violence. Tag, you threatened violence against the President of the United States of America. That is no joke!
