Great moments in media: Major network host challenges candidateÂ’s son to a fistfight
2012-10-19
Major network? ItÂ’s difficult to remember sometimes, but MSNBC is a part of NBC News and not an arm of Ringling Brothers. However, the clowns do come out at night, and Larry OÂ’Donnell led the parade last night with one of the more ridiculous demonstrations of outrageous outrage in recent American broadcasting. OÂ’Donnell takes Tagg RomneyÂ’s joke about wanting to take a swing at President Obama when Obama kept asserting that his father was lying during the debate, and turns it into this Johnson-measuring moment that went on for almost three minutes.

And it wouldnÂ’t be complete without the gratuitous class-warfare nonsense, as OÂ’Donnell whines about his underprivileged childhood as a way to suggest that Tagg canÂ’t handle himself mano a mano:

#1  "OÂ’Donnell whines about his underprivileged childhood"

O'Donnell's father was an attorney. His mother was an office manager.

He attended a private Catholic school, graduated from Harvard.
