‘Class Warfare’ Erupts Mid-Air During Washington-Bound Flight

On a recent flight from Phoenix to Washington state, a pillow fight broke out mid-air between the passengers. In this political climate, you had to know that they would eventually turn on first-class passengers:

      Looks like fun and certainly helps pass the time on a long flight. Wish I were there.

    Did they do this after the spam and twinkie sandwiches? At least they have working toilets and electricity to read by.

    Blaze – the “class warfare” joke was a bit obscure for a political web site for Glenn Beck followers. I actually believed you meant social rebellion until I saw it was in quotes.

      Only one of the Liberal “elite” would actually hope to see social rebellion in flight, while simultaneously trying to sneak in a jab at the intellect of people who admire Glenn Beck. Keep showing your true colors, we will keep showing your ours. We use pillows, you advocate violence. We seek to use the system to win, you seek to destroy the system when you can’t win. We use intellect to win arguments, you use insults.

      BTW, that pillow fight looked fun. Lighten up and enjoy this ride we call life.

    *in a deep news anchor voice*

    It was pandemonium at 30,000 feet as a horrifyingly large pillow fight erupted in coach on this very plane only moments ago; the passengers in this section gleefully assaulted each other with scratchy airline pillows to the abject horror of flight attendants. Oh the humanity! But if this isn’t shocking enough, we’ve received reports that the passengers on board have conspired to expand their campaign of soft feathery arms into first class…

      seriously, it must have been a socialist plot to start that millow massacre. A ruse to capture and confiscate all the pillows.

    Just another reason to never fly. Why fly? You get irradiated and/or gropped, have to have your liquid tolieties in oh so appropriate containers for inspections, more hassels with electronics you bring, plus I cant take a lighter, a multitool much less my concealed carry pistol. Add to that the BS tiny seats, increasingly poor service onboard (anyone remember when you got a MEAL on each flight?) plus the risk of sitting on a baking tarmac for three hours while the fools in the tower and ground control figure out the traffic jam on the ramp.

    Why bother. Rent a car, enjoy the ride, retain all your freedoms to start/stop as you like, no pervs patting you down and keep basic tools your human rights allow such as fire, edged weapons and firearms.

      I understand your sentiments, but not everyone has the time to drive long distances. In addition to that, you can’t freely carry your weapons and/or tools on those long trips, either. You might be able to travel with them, but not without fear of prosecution due to differing local laws and the generally corrupt legal system.

      Hate to inform you mate, but it was the Republicans that gave us the draconian TSA we all known and loathe at airports.

      And no, for the record, they do not keep us safer. They do however manage to leer at our wives with their greasy smirks and eye our daughters for ‘special screening’. To hell with the lot of them. Thanks GOP. Thanks a pantload.

    So, it is ok to demonize the people who paid more money than you did to have the seat they had? Maybe the ACLU should get involved?

      At least more than one person was filming it if I see the video correctly. For all that is worth in this times anymore. Amazing that Pelosi or Obama did not have the plane shot down for being filled with pillow wielding terrorists of the radical tea parties.

      I hear Pelosi was in first class demanding the coach passengers be kicked off mid-flight. Theres a good idea for an airline commercial. American Airlines, so safe, even Nancy Pelosi would fly with us…
