BOSTON (AP) - A rap star says former Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney first touched him—and not the other way around—during a confrontation aboard an Air Canada flight that was preparing to take off from Vancouver, British Columbia.
Sky Blu, whose given name is Skyler Gordy, says in a video posted Friday on TMZ.com that he was trying to go to sleep when he leaned his seat back on the Vancouver-to-Los Angeles flight Monday.
He says Romney loudly told him several times to straighten it and then grabbed his shoulder.

Romney was mad ‘cause he mussed up his hair.

As much as I don’t like Romney, he should’ve laid him out.

He says Romney loudly told him several times to straighten it and then grabbed his shoulder. Once a nanny-statist, always a nanny-statist. After the first verbal reminder, you get the flight crew's attention.

The guy was probably afraid of getting into a confrontation with Mitt once he found out Romney’s been a lifelong member of the NRA member for almost three years.

Rude little turds need occasional lessons to help them better themselves. Can’t blame Romney for trying.

If what this guy says is correct, and I understand there are videos, then Romney assaulted him...

Bottom line is “Sky-Blu” is an angry black man that hates honkies and found a good reason to let one have it! If Romney had said or done one itsy-bitsy thing verbally or physically he’d be toast.

He probably had to touch him on the shoulder because the punk couldn’t hear him from the damn headphones this loser probably had on his head.
I can’t stand ANYONE who leans way the hell back in the airline seat with their head practically in your lap and then has the gall to be pissed off when you ask them to move so you can get up or eat, etc.
Well.... amazing how many boogers can get in people’s hair when they lean that far back. Their call.

The term rap star gets tossed around pretty loosely these days. I looked up a picture of this jackass on Google and I never heard of him before this. He looks like a joke or a Sasha Cohen spoof.

As much as I don’t like Romney, he should’ve laid him out. Romney is not a physical man, he never even played little league or any other sport.
