(NC) Dem Congressman Goes Nuts When Asked if He Supports the “Obama Agenda”; Attacks Students– Video
Big Government via Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | June 14, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 06/14/2010 4:33:42 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

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?

Mike Flynn at Big Government has more.

Well, there you have it, in anger true emotions are put on display.

America, it is time to reign in all of these progressive, money wasting elisits. SEIU, OFA, Ayers and now an elected official.

Hound every Democrat with this tape. “Get in their faces”, Time for war is now, not in November, NOW. In NJ a demofacists wants a list of all NRA members, think it will stop?

He held the wrist of the student so he could not leave, then he grabbed his head so he could not back away.

I bet congressman will come out and say “I was drunk” and blame demon booooooze.

It is the question to nationalize this election:

“Do you support the Obama agenda?”

yes or no.

Actually, the area is quite mixed and from a map I recently saw, rates the palest pink (i.e., just barely Dem). Add to that this is a Dixiecrat district and you have the potential for a silent but deadly switch. Voters around here keep their counsel and poker is the state game. If you’re not honest, you seriously never see it coming.

I admire Ethridge for doing what he did as I think it was constructive.

kind of like admiring your old drunken uncle on a tirade... i bet you're also one of those conservatives who excuse the authorities when they raid the wrong house... "they're just doing their job."

Fox news is carrying the story NOW! They’re showing the video, and awaiting a news conference at 14:15 hrs EDT (2:15 PM Eastern time).

"It is the question to nationalize this election:"

“Do you support the Obama agenda?”

yes or no.

Bingo

EVERY candidate running against a democrat should bring this question up CONSTANTLY!! If there is televised debate, bring it up until the dem answers, and bring the point up in EVERY bit if advertising.

On another FR thread, it says the dems are going to try to "keep-it-local" as far as issues are concerned.

IMHO, "Do you support the Obama agenda?" is the winning question for this election and this video helps prove it.

“Voting will do nothing to get these people under control.”

And voting will also do nothing to get these people to grow into adults. (You’re right.)

It is a checkmate move.

If they answer no, they throw Obama under the bus. Democrats lose.

If they answer yes, then they are socialists attacking the USA and keeping jobs off mainstreet. Democrats lose.

Figures - fox broke away from the Ethridge press conference (where he appeared to be reading his on-line statement anyway) so that they could show us Obambi's press conference where he is suddenly concerned about the small businesses around the gulf coast. Now, Obambi wants to promote the "public-private" partnership that has been so effective at greasing politician's palms for so many years.

OK, now they're going to go back to Ethridge in a few minutes.

Doesn’t the public have a right to know if this guy supports the Obama agenda? Just a thought.

I guess we missed the part where Alvin Greene asked him about his ‘mental status’...

I was just told by a member of his staff that he has not yet turned himself in to face charges.

The people that confronted him are pressing charges? This is almost too good to be true.
