I wonder if he has held any townhall meetings and acted this way?

Perhaps he is like another Dem, not caring what the people think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnsIIVhDY1s

Cong. Bob Etheridge (D-SC): “It’s a sad state of affairs in this country that things have gotten so out of hand that unfortunate and regrettable responses to Teabaggers and violent people of that ilk could have impacted people in such a way that someone (usually, someone on the fringe of the hateful, gun-hugging right wing) might be offended mildly, but provoked to violent action, by this alleged act that I may or may not have had either some knowledge or involvement with.”

Who says this is enough? I don’t. Time to send him packing.

He needs to be kicked out of office...YOU DO NOT punch a minor like that...

Where are you, you wonderful Libs....You are silent on the oil spill, you are silent on Tennessee and now you are silent on assault!

Press charges. He appeared to be drunk to me.

We got you on tape assaulting someone.

We will see you in court. :)

Clearly, this is Nancy Pelosi’s fault. Rep Etheridge was returning from a Pelosi fundraiser, and was obviously whipped into an uncontrollable frenzy against his will by her incendiary hate speech...
