That is just weird.
Glad they weren’t hurt.

[trumandogz]

Look out Mitt, we Palin supporters are a tough bunch.

[higgmeister]

Please tell me it was Michael Moore or another of those Left-coast weirdos.

[DennisR]

Hope the perp is never allowed to fly again.

[Lazlo in PA]

If Palin supporters are going to fly into a rage at a safety suggestion on a flight, I think everyone should look out.

Imagine if Romney had mentioned the tray table?

“The passenger became physically violent. Governor Romney did not retaliate, but instead let the airline crew respond to the incident”

In the mold of McCain and Bush....

A. I’m glad Romney & his wife are OK.
B. I’m surprised he does not have his own plane.
C. Did he give the assailant the old “Don’t you know who I am” line before the guy attacked him?
D. There are idiots everywhere, it’s only a matter of time before each of us has some stupid altercation with one of them.

E. Gee...they’re just as crazy in first class.

[shibumi]

So, is Mitt’s hair still perfect?

Glad that he wasn't’ hurt, BUT, I don't’ think I'd want a President that won't even defend himself against physical violence. He relied on the stewardess (and maybe a steward). Would such a person defend the country against physical attack, or would he depend on the UN?

"GET OFF MY PLANE!!!"

THE BEST movie....thanks!

Am glad Mr. Romney nor his wife were injured.

It will be fun to learn the political leanings of the guy who attacked him.

Sorry Mr. Romney didn’t knock him flat out. I think he could do that - so why be shy?

But - everyone needs to be a bit on the alert....It’s like the moonbats are out of the belfry - all over the place....

I remember Bush jumped into it to defend his security guy in that struggle.

Romney is a physical wussy, he never even played little league.

>""Despite the school's rarefied air, it was still a high school, so the jocks tended to be the most popular. Mitt's singular distinction as an athlete was an embarrassing one, classmates recall. He competed in a 2.5-mile race held during a football game, setting off with the rest of the runners at the start of halftime.

Everyone returned before the second half of the football game began, except Mitt. He didn't resurface until about 10 minutes after the last runner. He staggered around the oval for the final lap, collapsing twice in the last 15 yards but drawing cheers from the crowd when he finally crossed the finish line. ''It had to be one of those moments that made you feel good, but inadequate,'' Bailey says. ''But those kinds of things didn't bother him.''""

silly comment

[Vendome]

“...let the airline crew respond....?”

I would have let them respond with first aid to the would be assaulter.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Oh ok. Whew. Well, then again, he probably did the wise thing in letting the airline staff handle the bozo didn’t he?
