Somebody just squirted something at Romney

[Renew Deal]

Romney was shaking hands after his speech. There was a commotion around Romney and someone got dragged away. I just replayed it and a young white guy squirted some sort of blue liquid at Romney.

Someone is going to get hurt in one of these campaigns one day. Candidates get very close with people. There is too much glittering, pie throwing, etc. It's disconcerting.

1. Was it Santorum? I can dream cant I? nm

2. That was weird, Secret Service was a little slow...

5. Actually, it's pretty shitty

We don't need that sort of stuff going on. Would it be "pretty awesome" if it happened to Obama?

9. You're right, Renew Deal.

We can't decry the right's desire to do violence to President Obama and at the same time condone this kind of behavior.

bain romney may be a smarmy, lying,detestable and callous excuse for a human being, but he deserves to campaign in safety. All of the clown car pasengers do. Let the beatings be the figurative type that comes with a substantial drubbing in both the popular and electoral vote.

PEACE!

10. You're right....I'm deleting my comment..

I got caught up in the moment.....sorry renew, you were right as well.

[MarianJack]

14. Well, Joe the Revelator,...

...making mistakes is one of the things that make us all human.

You admitted it and made a correction.

Can you think of any far right stupid texas republican figurehead president who wasn't capable of doing that? I can!

PEACE!

[Renew Deal]

15. That's cool

The Giffords situaiton was painful enough. I don't want to go through that again in any way.

11. Agree. You can still make a strong statement without

Physically confronting people. Even though the right is verbally abusive to groups on the left this just isn't the proper type of response.

4. Reports indicate that it was a brown frothy substance with a foul smell

12. Seriously - assault is assault

I won't lie - I wanted to punch that guy who tried to pie Rupert Murdoch not for wielding the pie but for being such a fucking failure.

But that was wrong. There's too much stuff that's not funny out there, that I'm afraid we have to be humorless about this. There may be a world out there where we can wait to see if something is funny, not deadly, but this one ain't it.

Someone is going to get hurt - and if it's the prankster, it's going to be their own damn fault.

13. Blue Man Goop??

[Angry Dragon]

16. It was a republican that sprayed the shit

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Not cool.

Just not cool at all.

18. Best "rude response"...The "dressing of Buchanan"
