Republican politician Mitt Romney was physically threatened by a violent passenger on an Air Canada flight leaving Vancouver this morning.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

“Gov. Romney did not retaliate.”

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Mitt was trying to get the guy’s wallet, I suppose...

[rlmorel]

Jeez...I can think of a few Freepers who we might need to shelter if the police really start looking for suspects...

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Some situations just cry out for some FAKE POLICE BADGES!!!

I get torqued every time some jerk tries that in the seat in front of me and I speak up also. I’ve never had anyone get violent, but I’ve gotten some nasty looks from women, but the men have always been very nice.

[rlmorel]

LOL...man, what on earth did you eat before you went to bed?

[Nextrush]

Hug Mitt, don’t hit him.

Seriously, I don’t want to see sympathy and publicity for RINO’s being created out there.

I want to know more details.

[rlmorel]

Well...I’m sure you are very polite, onyx...:)

[VRWC For Truth]

Physical activity isn’t good for Mitt’s hair.

[Frantzie]

That is a weird effing dream but it sounds pretty entertaining.

I will give Mitt credit for one thing - he “don’t” like McCain.

I have flown on those Embrae (sp) and unless there is something I have not seen among those ac, they are puddle jumpers and there is no first class..they are cramped little miserable planes with one seat on one aisle and 2 seats across the aisle. My bet is they were on a connecting flt on the way to say Seattle to catch a big bird home.

[MARTIAL MONK]

Don't do that. When you have strange dreams people start screaming and running for the exits.

We remember.

Closest I've got is a

Pretending. Again.

[Servant of the Cross]

A point to consider. Team Romney is so clever, it's possible that they staged this event to match with a new strategy for Mitt: Romney's new character: Macho man.

I only posted here a small fraction of the very strange and sometimes disturbing dreams that I have had. I’m not sure why I have these vivid dreams but 90% of them I forget within 10 minutes of waking up. My wife keeps saying I need to write them down.

[onyx]

I agree with you, but I speak up and I also refuse to be cramped in my seat by seriously overweight seat mate. It takes some assertation, but it makes for a happier and more comfortable flight.

[eyedigress]

Give ‘em the “stink eye” and let them know you mean it. If your 6’3” 215 pounds it also helps.

[onyx]

LOL. Well, I start out polite...lol.

[onyx]

Are you 6’3” - 215?
