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.

“Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?”
The guy should have answered “I’m Kenneth, with the frequency!”
Seriously, this Congressman is frightening and demented. He should not only NOT be re-elected, but Congress should take action and kick the POS out of office.
Somehow I’m reminded of “You don’t talk to me like that, I’M TED KENNEDY!” on Hannity’s show years ago.
Arrogant, powermad, dangerous buttholes... one and all.
1. Admit that he's an alcohol and immediately enter a treatment program...maybe Patches Kennedy can be his sponsor
2. He's a tobacco farmer...none to popular these days, even in NC..so he can announce that he recently stopped smoking, and was therefore very agitated...
His opponent now has a ready-made campaign commercial. All he has to do is run this youtube in prime time a couple of times, and this guy is toast.
Unless on Glenn Beck.
Does liberal San Francisco House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represent your values? Congressman Etheridge thinks so. That's why Etheridge has voted with Nancy Pelosi 98% of the time in the current Congress.And now he's caught on video leaving a Pelosi meeting with more marching order!
A poll conducted by North Carolina firm Public Policy Polling showed that only 37% of the citizens in Etheridge's district support the health care takeover.
But "San Francisco Bob" Etheridge voted for it anyway!
Absolutely! I don’t care if he was a congressman or not, if he grabbed me like that, I would have decked him.
“Before Dems will give up this seat, Etheridge will find some reason to resign and be replaced with someone who is sane.”
It’s probably too late. The deadline for filing for an affiliated candidate passed at the end of February. An unaffiliated candidate can file through the 25th of June.
Did anyone else notice that the “distinguished” congressman is a thief as he snatches either a cell phone or a camera from the students hand at the 24-26 second mark of the video.
Wow, thanks for the ping. That dude needs help...and a rest from his job. Permanently.

ABC11 has left messages with Etheridge’s office to get his side of the story about what happened. We’re waiting to hear back.
The story says he was coming from a Pelosi fundraiser. Must have been a bacchanalian blowout of some kind because he sure was paranoid.
Just one more demonstration of the power of the DC Empire. Many of these wackos think that they own the voters and the taxpayers. Time to consider a separation from this bunch of crooks and commies.
He’s given these students some worthwhile knowledge for sure.
It makes you wonder how dirty the REAL dealings are going on that we don't know about....
Start a pool...guess the date he announces his “retirement”
2013, if 2008 is repeated....
” I think he is drunk and gay.”
Drunk, Gay, and stupid is no way to go through life ;-)
That is simple assult. If that were my kid, I would “shake down” this creep, and take his house ;-)
