Democrat Congressman Goes Nuts When Asked if He Supports the “Obama Agenda”; Attacks

[manu1959]

It sure is a GREAT video showing the CONTEMPT most, in my opinion, of these Congress People have for the rest of us. Make no mistake about it, his recent 'apology' on FOX is TOTAL BULLSHIT and a great reason that none of these 'bastads' be re-elected to office.

Hopefully this student has the collective 'ballz' to sue this slime ball for as much as he can, and hopefully those voters will send another message to these politicians that WE are not going to tolerate their pompus ass, 'I am better than you pieces of shit' behaviour any longer.

to repeat, I do not believe his pathetic attempt at an'apology' is genuine, he IS an ASS of the highest degree and must be tossed out on his butt.

On the contrary, although I'm not defending his actions, Etheridge like any incumbent, especially a Democrat, undoubedly expects the same kind of inyourface snarling and yelling that they were subject to last summer. I know I'd be a little leary if someone ran up to me and shoved a camera and a mike in my face. Political interaction is no longer friendly, in case you haven't noticed. It's ugly out there.

yep....he could have thrown a pie at him....both sides are out of control....

YouTube - Congressman Assaults Student on Washington Sidewalk

Here is shocking video of North Carolina Democrat Rep. Bob Etheridge being asked by some students on a public sidewalk in Washington, D.C. if he supports the “Obama Agenda.” Once he realized the students were asking him that question, he went bonkers. Etheridge hit their camera and then grabbed one of the students by the arm as he repeated over and over “Who are you, Who are you? Tell me who you are?” The students identified themselves as such, but Etheridge persisted. At one point he then grabbed the student whose arm he had been holding onto and pulled himself up beside himself with his arm wrapped around the student. The student repeatedly asked the Congressman to “let go of my arm.”

There is no scenario under which this kind of behavior is acceptable. Etheridge represents the 2nd District in North Carolina, and faces a tough re-election battle. This video ought to seal his defeat. It’s time for voters to say to Etheridge, “Who are you” to treat people like this?

I would certainly like to know more....this seems rather incomplete.

Bob Etheridge is a whackjob. Should be in the nearest toilet bowl.

Crazy Ed Schultz on MSNBC gave this story 30 seconds if that at the end of his show.If this was a Republican he would have led off the show with it and there would have been a few lefties on the show to demonize the guy.Unbelievable coverage.

 

[Jeremy]

Maybe he's trying to impress Obama and the rest of the Chicago mafia so he can get a job.

Funny that youtube took the video down. There was no reason to do that, other than to cover for Democrats.

Yeah, isn't that strange? I had to resort to eyeblast for a video that Youtube pulled about the Obama supporter that assaulted some Tea Party protesters. I don't know what Youtube's agenda is.

Also interesting is that the Tea Party protest where an Obama supporter assaulted them also took place in NC. I wonder what's up with NC Democrats, where they feel the need to get physical. It's a weird one, for sure.

 

[Big Fitz]

Simplest campaign ad ever. Play 30 seconds of the most illuminating parts of this video, and caption the bottom "Who are YOU with?" Say nothing else except the support this message line. No music, no voice over... nothing. Let the thing speak for itself.

Hmmm........I"m walking down the street and I'm accosted by some people who I don't know, who don't introduce themselves, and they start asking me questions. I'd want to know who they were before I answered them too. And if they were pointing a cell phone camera in my face, I'd object to that too.

I don't see a problem here. The kids should have told the congressman who they were and what they wanted right off the bat.

While I agree with you that the "students" were deliberately being sneaky...to approve of what the Congressman did in response is just nuts.

He's a CONGRESSMAN...he knows that he is frequently going to be placed in situations where he may be filmed answering (or not answering) politically charged questions. If this is the way he handles that stress then he obviously should not be in political office.

What could he have done? He could have walked away. He could have said, "No comment." He could have stopped and said, "I would be happy to answer your questions as long as you tell me who you are, why you are filming, etc. Thats just polite." What he did was assault a person because they were annoying, perfectly legal, and annoying.

Okay, so your definition of "accosted" is being asked questions in public. Interesting. I guess police should be patrolling the streets for reporters now.

I'd want to know who they were before I answered them too. And if they were pointing a cell phone camera in my face, I'd object to that too.

And by object, do you mean violently grab them and shake them? Would that not be a better definition of "accosted"?

I don't see a problem here. The kids should have told the congressman who they were and what they wanted right off the bat.

Of course you don't see a problem. Democrats have a right to accost anyone who dares ask them a question with a video camera. It's considered self-defense in a court of law.

Thank you! Apparently, none of those tactics are in this guy's playbook.

Chris Matthews take on this was the Congressman apologized....but Matthews focus was more on the students who ambushed the Congressman and who put them up to this and who did they work for....
Not one mention that the Congressman should NOT have laid one F_ _ k ing finger on the guy.Amazing.

Meet Congressman Bob Etheridge, Democrat from North Carolina’s Second CD. Rep. Etheridge doesn’t much like people asking him whether he supports Barack Obama’s agenda, as a student camera crew on the street discovered when asking this elected official about his political positions. Etheridge interrupts his journey to a fundraiser thrown by Nancy Pelosi to assault the young reporter, first by grabbing the hand that holds the microphone and then by horse-collaring him, all the while demanding, “Who are you? I have a right to know who you are.” Big Government reports (via Power Line):

More here, plus video:

Hot Air Video: Rep. Etheridge assaults student on street; Update: Video restored; Update: YouTube didn’t pull video

Funny that youtube took the video down. There was no reason to do that, other than to cover for Democrats. But the video has been restored and CLEARLY shows Democrat Etheridge assault this college student, though the college student NEVER retaliates.

I would have kicked the bastard right in the treats. It would have been clear self-defense.

I am going to spread this video far and wide. Hope everyone else (on the right side) will as well.

This is your modern Democrat party. Supported by Union Thugs, because they are, in and of themselves, THUGS.

And what was this college kid's crime? Like Joe the Plumber, HE ASKED A QUESTION.

You are NOT ALLOWED to ask the nobility a question. We learned that in Ohio. You ask Messiah Obama, the all knowing, the all can't get his ass to the Gulf of Mexico for six weeks, because he's too busy on vacation, a question, you can have your constitutional right to privacy violated.

Hell, Strickland will drag his feet to do something about the person, violating your privacy, because, well all know the bastard was in on it!

But you go to DC and ask a Democrat a question, and EXPECT to have your right to not get beat up violated!

THIS IS YOUR DEMOCRAT PARTY. What's the difference between them and Nazi party of the 20s? They beat up people too!

(Watch idiots start having a fit about me bringing up the Nazis, and bringing up the Holocaust because the idiots don't know the difference between the "beer hall" Nazis of the 20s and the party in power [Nazis] in the 30s. Morons!)

I can't wait for the Obama-ites (you know who you are) to come in and claim that Ethridge was actually "assaulted" first. After all. You can't ask a Congressman a question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the spinning begin!!!!!!!!

Now that's funny coming from the Party of Timothy McVeigh.

 

[OmniRocky]

Whadda douche. It doesn't matter who the kid is the Congressman had no right to put his hands on him.

And what's up with the creepy way he pulled him in towards him at the end?

That's what we call a "double play", where he gets charged with aggravated assault and sexual assault.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

I guess he did not like the question.

Why didn't the kid just tell him his name....he never once answered the question. If he had, then then congressman's behavior would have been completely unacceptable, but as it is, I believe you have a right to know who is taking your picture and talking to you on the street regardless of your identity.

 

[Dr.House]

And just who are you to post that???

 

[Jeremy]

Now that's funny coming from the Party of Timothy McVeigh.

That's funny comming from the party of Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Pol Pot.

 

[SFC Ollie]

But the Democrats are never violent..............

The kids did identify themselves as students on an assignment.

If I were them i would have called the police and charged this idiot with assault. He had no right to lay a hand on that kid.
