I am not defending the congressman's behavior. I should cut and paste that throughout this post. But you asked what was wrong with their (the "student's") behavior......that your GOP "students" are pussies and you crybabies support their behavior?
And you know these students were members of the GOP? Couldn' they just as well been Independents or even Democrats that oppose Obama's agenda?
What was wrong with their behavior? They ask a question and the Congressman went ballistic.
You have your head so far up Obama's ass you're incapable of being objective or honest.
Aren't you just sick of 'gotcha' "journalism"? I am. The omnipresence of video cameras, the 'ambush' interview popularized by those paragons of integrity Fox News, the cloying paparazzi. I think there's room for privacy again in our society. Some political hacks disagree.
anonymous even to them
With Democrats attacking whoever provoked Rep. Bob Etheridge to violence with a (relatively mild) question and two flip cams, editors at the conservative site that first publicized the video, Big Government, said they have no idea who the videographers are, and defended the decision to allow them anonymity.
"If Congressman Etheridge has apologized for his abhorrent behavior then why is the DNC staging a coordinated attack on the people he's apologized to? This is a classic 'kill the messenger' tactic and reinforces why our sources asked for the anonymity we are granting them," said the site's founder, Andrew Breitbart.
DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse speculated that the videographers -- who said on the video that they're students but enraged Etheridge by refusing to say where -- were "trackers" -- Republican campaign aides or interns.
"Honestly, I don't know if they are trackers. (Like the Allen, Macacca videographer) Or students," said Michael Flynn, who first posted the video, in an email. "They sent me the videos anonymously and identified themselves as students. Do I know for sure? I do not. Hell, they could be students working as trackers. That said, I think the video speaks for itself. Etheridge went from 0-60 in like a nano-second. The question which provoked him was 'Do you support Obama's agenda?' That isn't exactly confrontational.
you present a false binary. Allen said "Macacca" on his own. These kids with Etheridge failed to identify themselves as political operatives.I am not defending the congressman's behavior.

Gee, were you asking this, when they were all up Republican's ass about "Macaca?" I bet not!
Hypocrites!
The kid simply asked a question!!!!! HOW IN THE HELL IS THAT "GOTCHA" POLITICS????
What utter BS!
I think we see who is the political hack!
God you Republicans are whiney.

He apologized anyway but that kid who asked him that looked quite nervous at his reaction..,
Funny.
So yeah, if Big Government (the site that gave us the hidden camera video that took down ACORN) is telling us to expect more of this sort of inflammatory and guerrilla interview tactics, well then, we should be seeing more of this. And that fact is not lost on many elected officials who are probably on edge, half-expecting to be ambushed around every corner. Such is the case here.
Etheridge’s actions are only partially defensible. He need not have gotten physical with the students who asked him the provocative question regarding his support of the “Obama Agenda” (honestly, that sort of opening question is straight from the Jason Mattera school of inflammatory interview techniques.)
But little is known about these “students.” The YouTube video is published under an account titled TonyManization, and even more damning is that the faces of the individuals asking the Congressman questions are blurred out. Hmmm…nothing like the courage of the anonymous protester.
Which brings us back to Etheridge’s response. Yeah – he comes off as a jerk, but…when in Rome. It will be interesting to follow how this story plays out in the news media. Will it be a big story? Probably not, but apparently being prepared for ambush interviews from eager college kids is the next phase of media training for many on Capitol Hill.

Yeah, explain, if he apologized, why the word has gone out from the DNC to attack the college kids?

It's gone out all over the liberal spectrum of the media. An apology or a tactic to try and make the Congressman look innocent and the college kids who did nothing more than ask a question, look guilty??
You liberals always assume we are all so stupid, we will buy that BS.
That's always what pisses me off the most about liberals. They always assume we are so freaking stupid, we will believe oral sex isn't sex, is doesn't always mean is, and one Democrat "apologizing" while the rest circle the wagons and start smearing, is an apology.
BS!

And you know that they were "political operatives" exactly how?
Rick
It gets better. The Democrat instructions to all the liberal media is to attack the college kid. As IF, even if this college kid was from an Al Queda sleeper cell that excuses the Congressman's behavior?
All this kid did was ASK an innocent question: Do you support the Obama agenda?
How on earth does it justify Ethridge's behavior? The kid never retaliates. He calls him "sir," all throughout the video.
It's incredible. This is how Democrats react to a citizen asking them a question. Like a THUG nobleman who thinks the "peasants" are getting too "uppity."
