(NC) Dem Congressman Goes Nuts When Asked if He Supports the “Obama Agenda”; Attacks Students– Video
Big Government via Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | June 14, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 06/14/2010 4:33:42 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

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.

Good man Hale, but remember you could donate that money to a Conservative and hurt them more than once. ;^)

"I did too. I’m going to plaster that thing all over the internet."

Go to it Joe! I am doing the same. I think we ALL are doing the same. This thug b*stard should NOT be able to get away with this, and everyone in America needs to know his name and the crime(s) he has committed. We need to demand justice for those students, if not in the courts, then certainly at the ballot box. But preferably, BOTH!

If you also want to send him an email, a zip+4 from his district is required.

Typical scared liberal. If you do not love them, they hate you. If you do not agree with them, they curse you. And if you dare to question them, they try to assult you and make you frightened.

If anyone did that to one of my children I would be filing an assult charge immediately. He was absolutely disgusting and criminal.

This guy was the former Superintendent of Public Instruction. No wonder our public schools are in such bad shape in NC!

His apology needs to be written on the back of his resignation letter.

Being from NC myself, I am not surprised by this at all. Good ol’ boy politician as usual. NC might as well go back to being what once once referred to as part of “The Solid South”. Republicans and Conservatives are always at a big disadvantage in this state, that I love anyway.

But he did say; “I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction, and I apologize to all involved”. Therefore as the MSM sees it, its over, nothing further to report.

I saw the video on Fox early this evening so at least they’re showing it.

That video must be used in the mid term elections in every state to show what the Democrats are up to and he’s not sorry he’s only sorry that it made news. It’s not the kind of attention they’re looking for and there should be anger management classes required at the very least.

"Why hasn’t this guy been arrested yet?" Because he haa a (D) after his name... and he was just acting stupidly. He has apoligized - what is the big deal? Do you want him to resign like R's are forced to do? /sarc

Such an ugly man, inside and out. Anyway he got very physical with this guy. Seems like he should be charged with something. Meanwhile that Rep Foley only sent emails and never put his hands on anyone yet the Dems and the media smeared every Republican for what he did. If a Republican rep. assaulted some lefty they would have found a way to tar the whole party over what he did.

I just saw the video on CNN so it’s making the rounds to some degree.

I think that the "camera men" are patient. Give it another week and I think there's a good possibility that we'll see charges against the tyrant.
