(Video) When MSNBC’s Chris Matthews mentions the Etheridge story on his show, he starts off by saying, “Democratic Congressman Bob Etheridge of North Carolina was ambushed by a group of unknown activists last week and didn’t like it much. An edited version of the video first appeared on the website of a former Drudge Report editor.” After showing the video Matthews added, “By the way, no word yet on who those self-proclaimed students working on a project are.”

So... asking someone if they support the Obama agenda is now considered an “ambush?” LOL!!! Love it!

I see the MSM spin continues. Little wonder they are bleeding out ratings and revenue.

I wonder what he is going to do the day after November’s Armageddon?

A real “ambush” question would have been something like: “do you support all of Obama’s agenda; or do you just like snorting coke with him, in the back of limos?”.

I think Charlie Gibson asked her if she agreed with the Bush Doctrine, and she asked him, “In what respect?”

I think you're right...it was a rather vague Q.

But I still want to blame it on Katie. LOL!

I heard the # of activists was over 150, that they were bussed in, and that they had POLICE ESCORTS..!

the ‘ambush’ consisted of a single line... one question: “Do you support the 0bama agenda?”

Exactly. We need to ask the question repeatedly between now and November. Make the DemonRats running for public orifice try to justify Obama's big government assault on liberty.
"Do you support the Obama agenda?"
"Do you support the Obama agenda?"
"Do you support the Obama agenda?"

It will drive them nuts.

What’s more —I heard the 150 lib activists were strolling all over his lawn, through his shrubs, and peering in the windows, yelling.

The boy was locked in their bathroom, talking to his bank exec dad on the cellphone.

This is the same pattern for the unusually brave journo who showed up outside Bill Ayer’s Chicago townhouse to ask him (civilly) about his “free as a bird, guilty as sin” statements:

Bill Ayers called the COPS on the (solitary) guy. The cops showed up and escorted Ayers to his car.

The guy didn’t even raise his voice, didn’t swear or make even the tiniest physical contact with Ayers, but it was represented as this huge assault.

The left has built their activist house on the driest of sand.

Since when is a question like, "Do you fully support the Obama agenda?" an ambush ...
