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.

What is it with Carolina voters?

Mean? We have laws to remedy this. No you weren’t mean.
I say go for the throat. You damn well know what the left would do. This guy would be strung up by high noon tomorrow if someone on the right had done this.
And what’s more, we’d supply the rope, unless the offending groups had gotten physical themselves first. Then all bets would have been off.
It is getting very funny, except someone may now get hurt, as they are getting serious and mean.
I agree. So WE have a job to do - pass it on. Wonder if Sean, Savage, Mark, Ann, Rush has seen it.
I think he was drunk, also. That student was remarkably reserved.
The dems are jumping the shark. Good. Hope the college kid gets lawyered up and sues for assault.
“Obama agenda” ...BWHAHAHA!
Damn, if I was a lawyer, I’d VOLUNTEER to take this case.
I’d PAY money to take this case.
Not that it means anything, but he is the spitting i,ahe of John Ashcroft in that first pic! What an a$$hat. I hope the kid presses charges and throws him in jail. He serves paying a price for his thuggery. He’s no better than a bloods or crops member.
Good shots - thanks.
He wanted the student’s name and his face towards the camera. Intimidation.
This congressman needs some time out in jail - he’s way too violent to be walking the streets camouflaged in a business suit.
All he had to say was ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
The police should be picking him up...the streets aren’t safe as long as he’s out there.
Hell no! You’d get paid good money to take this case. :^)
Now, we that we know their weak spot. All candidates should use the “Obama Agenda”.
He's being Sun Tzu, rather than Ghandi. If I know there's a camera watching, and some Congressthug took a poke at me, I'd let the bastard do it. If I fight back- even if there's video of it- it'll be edited down and spun so that the great and noble Democrat public servant is just defending himself against some common right-wing hooligan. Every shot of him swinging will be edited out by the media.
This way, there's nothing for the media propagandists to grab ahold of to twist and manipulate. My nose'll be okay in a day or two- unlike his career.
If Joe Blow tries to do that to me- different story altogether.
Former bouncer also and Marine.
Yep. Agreed an all points. I just saw the MSNBC clip, and they edited out the inital strike to the cameraman. There is no way to get past these people on their own turf. That’s why dear leader will do his best to shut down the internet.
I just checked their pages and none had it, but Drudge having it on his site, you would think surely, one of them checks for news on other web pages.
I would make a personal visit to his office an personally express my outrage, as should all NC residents should who are within this a$$hat’s district. Maybe even leave him a nice little parting gift...be creative!
My friend, I would GLADLY do this for free - just for the opportunity of watching that Dem piece of garbage twist and roast on the docket.
That’s reward in and of itself.
Was he taxed for putting it up?
No doubt ;-)
