It may have been meant in jest or it may have been serious-I listened to the whole thing. BUT, I think it should not have been said regardless.
See here's a thing that irks the begeesus (spelling?) out of me. No one showed any contempt for bush, but since Obama is your guy, you all are demanding respect for him. I think SNL, and the daily show, have made many, much more disrespectful comments about Obama but no one is harping on them like they are Mitts son. Reason being is that they (SNL, John Stewart) tend to lean left, and Tagg obviously supports his father. How do you feel about this point?
I'm not demanding respect for Obama. I wouldn't like if anyone said anything about the POTUS like wanting to hit them no matter who it is. Not only is is disrespectful but it shows a nasty side too. Like someone who wants to resort to violence if something doesn't go there way even if they would never actually do it. To me, this does not show character or good political skills. You need to be able to handle someone calling your dad a liar. Political campaigns are a nasty business. SNL, Daily Show, etc. are comedy shows. They make fun of everyone and can be disrespectful. It is called Satire and free speech. That's why it doesn't bother me. AND, they are not talking violence against the President either.
So your saying that tagg was serious about taking a swing at the president, and the only thing that stopped him from it was him worrying about the secret service reaction, cause he was apparently not making a joke with what he said about the secret service? I am not sure how you can take this statement any other way then a joke.
