(NC) Dem Congressman Goes Nuts When Asked if He Supports the “Obama Agenda”; Attacks Students– Video

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.

I didn’t say that they had.

[Trillian]

[tapatio]

I’m at work, so can’t watch. Will have to try to catch it on the rebound, maybe will get a few minutes of Beck.

I really hope the people that vote for this creep does see this you-tube video..and also hope they vote his rear out of office..he can't lie his way out of this one,except to say Bush sent him.what the morons always do..

Actually it seemed to me he though he had been caught doing something wrong which he probably had of been..Maybe instead of going to the Pelosi deal he went to a Hotel with his girlfriend and thought these guys saw him..Why would he react so violently toward these boys if he wasn't doing something that was not good..

[RKBA Democrat]

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

Hadn’t seen that yet. Let’s hope that they do.

Why would he react so violently toward these boys if he wasn't doing something that was not good.

As i said in one of my earlier post. Obamacare polled only 37% in his home district. But he was just at a Pelosi fundraiser. So someone asks him if he fully supports Obama's agenda. Is this person working for his opponent, trying to trap him into admitting support for a very unpopular bill. Or is the person someone from Obama's SEIU democrat loyalty patrol. He needs to know before he answers hence the "Who are you!". Being drunk, scared and stupid almost always leads to violence.

Not to worry,remember FOX is #1 in viewers and that is where I saw it and came here to check it out..So yes I do believe at least 2.4 million people will view this..

I agree the student should have had the monster arrested on assault charges..it would have really got some press then..on FOX anyway.. I also plan to send this to all of my mailing list..

Welcome to your future, Americans.

You’re a willfully blind fool if you think this is an anomoly after all that has happened in recent years.

If you’re not going to fight them, you had better get comfortable with being treated this way.

More importantly, prepare your children for their new place in our society under the thumb and boot of men like this.

If this were a Republican the victim would have filed charges and stood court in front of cameras with their lawyers by now. The commie is safe physically attacking a “conservative student.” Conservatives have no volunteer political trial lawyers and the Republican party is w/o balls/outrage. The US has few to none lawyers loyal to the constitution in equal measures for all of us.

That is why see our side beaten by commies in the streets w/o concern of retribution. We are so weak and pitiful, it is dangerous being a conservative.

[PLD]

I understand he was at a Pelosi fund raiser, and that in itself is scary ,but was he really..Maybe he slipped out for some hankie pankie with either his girlfriend or boyfriend..He just looked to guilty of something other than responding to what the student ask him..He actually seemed scared or he is crazy,one of the two..

[HollyB]

Here’s Eth’s response. Do you think he should have said “The kid deserved it?” instead?

“I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved,” he said in a statement released by his office.

[LadyPilgrim]

It’s on Drudge now. The Wash Post says it was a “HUG”...LOL!!!

They just can’t face the fact the guy needs to be put in the slammer on assault charges.

[longtermmemmory]

nobody is mentioning he has still not answered the question.

[PLD]

It will be all overexcept for the liberal media, I am watching Neil Cavuto and he had it there..I don’t watch other channels for news ,but I can bet it isn’t on any of them..Oh and mostly I read Free Republic since I love all the news story I am interested in and love to read the other peoples post on what they think of the situation..

[LadyPilgrim]

I don’t even watch FOX any more since 2006. I turned them all off after we lost the house and senate.
I’ve been healthier for it too.
I can read all I want here and online and not have the continuous recycling stories and noise reverberating in my head!

Constitution Day, You are certainly on the ball! Thanks!

That is why see our side beaten by commies in the streets w/o concern of retribution.

The main reason you see it is because the MSM condones it by not reporting it like they did the Rodney King event etc etc

[PLD]

Good for you,I wish I had that courage to just turn it off and leave it..I do not keep the television on all day and never the news channel FOX..I do admit I have to see what is going on and what the news people are saying so I can form an opinion on them..
