Media in Democrat Bob Etheridge’s North Carolina 2nd Congressional District are now onto the story of his attack on college students who attempted to ask him if he supported President Obama’s “full agenda.” Etheridge went berserk, hitting their camera and grabbing the arm of one student and refusing to let go as he asked repeatedly, “Who are you?”
Raleigh station WTVD has asked Etheridge’s office for a response, but has so far received nothing. But they report on a response from the North Carolina GOP:
WTVD – Raleigh: ABC11 has left messages with Etheridge’s office to get his side of the story about what happened. We’re waiting to hear back.
Meanwhile, Republicans are weighing in. National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Jon Thompson e-mailed a comment to ABC11:
“Bob Etheridge has lost it. His conduct is unbecoming of a member of Congress. It’s bad enough that he’s joined Obama’s assault on North Carolina jobs, but his physical assault on a college student goes beyond the pale.” . . . . Read More

It’s called ‘p-a-n-i-c!
Gotta love it when democrats make their own GOP campaign ads.
Typical reaction from a POL who thinks he’s above the rest of the plebs. Oust him NOW! Then charge him in court. The evidence is plain.
The truly amazing thing is that he went on with his assault EVEN WHEN HE KNEW THERE WAS A CAMERA! For that stupidity alone he should be put in a home for senile demonrats.
Just once, I would like to see an American use his God Given Right of SELF DEFENSE against one of these asswipe Public Servants, Now could you imagine the story if this college kid just laid out said public servant. or even used deadly force to prevent this apparent attempted kidnapping.
That is what is shocking about it. He just completely lost it.
Gawd. Wonder if he abuses his wife and children......if he has any?
So will Chrissy “leg-tingle” demand the congress-critter’s resignation? Or will he suggest that the little 18 year old represented a DANGER to the congressman and thus “got what he deserved??!!!”
I have wondered this too.
I want to see some black belt at a tea party demonstration take on or three of these idiots out.
What would have made me really laugh was to see the black panther fools last election be taken out by a “Mr. Miogi” type old man and lose their “weapons” and sent running away screaming like little girls.
That would be interesting.
Democrat party PANIC!!
it is good when Democrats panic.
November can’t come soon enough.
The Rep could definitely be charged with assault.
A good lawyer might also be able to claim battery.
The camera guy has a legal case [depending on any other video] against the Rep, if he chooses to pursue it.
Whatever happened to the seasoned politicians’, “Son, I’d just love to stop and talk to y’all, but I gotta be somewhere in few minutes and I’m running late. Call my office and we can set up an interview. [in 2011].”?
Just sayin’, ya know?
Matthews probably won’t even report it.
He looked half bagged to me.
OMG! He assaulted him! I hope the student presses charges.
