Whatever. It’s the seriousness of the charge that counts right? Doesn’t matter if it’s real or not.
Inquisitors?
The spin is sickening. No one made Etheridge grab the young man around the neck and demand to know his identity.
There was no excuse for the Etheridge’s behaviour. I guess he felt that no one ought to dare ask him a question about his vote.
It looks like some smart college kids asking this POS Dem why he was going to put them in debt forever with Obamacare. The media thinks if the “peons” ask questions they are “operatives.”
F the ruling class.
I bet somebody knew he was a hot head.
“Only this week did Republican strategists acknowledge they were behind the episode.”
Oh really? Who, What, Where, When?
Another NYT anonymous source!!!!
I call BULL!
So, the Republicans are behind trying to get Democrats to explain their support for various bills on video? How dastardly!/sarc
Did Republicans force him to get drunk before the students approached him? Or was he sober and acts like that normally?
Etheridge committed a felony when he grabbed the kid. Looks like it’s time for a trial. This is similar to the LE stings shown on TV against sexual perverts.
Since the NYT lied about the above (unless filming a Democrat walking toward you counts as chasing him down), there'd be no reason to believe their unattributed sources exist, even if the Times weren't already a den of known, unrepentant liars.
Who are you!? Who are you?! Who are you to vote against me!? We'll recount and recount until I win!
He GRABBED and throttled the asker....what difference does it make who it was??? Etheridge is a THUG!
Etheridge was lucky he grabbed some witless college kid. He left himself wide open. There are people out there...out here...who would have changed his life the minute he touched them.
I can’t wait to learn the names of the Republicans who were able to telepathically control Etheridge and make him rough up those college kids. I have no objection to Repubs asking people to ask their senators questions. Etheridge could have said yes, no, or no comment. Etheridge chose...poorly.
Isn't that what the press is supposed to do. It is sad that we have college kids doing a better job than the media.
