Jesus, the tone of these remarks is basically, "Bring Michael moore on, we'll kick that fat bastard's ass if we have to."
I'm trying to imagine the press reaction if there had been a similar reaction at the DNC when they heard, say, O'Reilly was showing up. [Barack Obama: "O'Reilly is coming down here? He best not get out of line--I'm more than acapable of taking him down if it comes to it."]
