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?

Definately worth the ping! You are gonna freak when you see it Hoodat...LOL! He looked drunk to me. ‘Paranoid’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. What in the world is going on in the Carolinas’ these days? I would say the drunkin bum just lost his election.
“I was drunk at a fundraiser...they THREW me into public!!!”
sadly, this asshole is My congressman...only until November I hope!!!
It’s amazing, but on a similar thread there were a few FReepers who actually tried to justify this thug’s behavior.
If you want to know who someone is that’s trying to interview you, fine - there’s nothing wrong with that.
But physically grabbing and threatening someone like this is completely and totally unnacceptable, and it’s criminal.
I hope this pig loses his job over this.
‘Rat thug needs to be arrested for assault!

“I think we can be assured this is NOT hitting the 24 hour news cycle. :-\”
Doesn’t matter. It’ll go viral. More people will see it that way.
That was my thought. He was bleary eyed and barely coherent. I hope the student presses assault charges.
Then hung for treason?

“It says a lot that the Pubbies aren’t all over this yet, at least not that I have seen. I hope Fox News picks it up.”
Say what? It was posted at 7:01 this AM on Big Government.
Lord knows I have little use for the GOP, but I wouldn’t expect them to pick this up and run with it in less than 2 hours.
He looked drunk, to me. It was the whiskey talking.
Meet his opponent this fall: http://www.reneeforcongress.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx She’ll kick his ass with her high heels!
Grabbing the arm is assault. It’s funny but still illegal.

Too much coke snortin going on at the Pelosi’s ‘fundraiser’? The man was paranoid for a reason. Wonder what he is hiding?
If he were some guy in a bar and grabbed a woman like that he’d be arrested lickety-split.
I don’t think it’s what’s “going on in the Carolinas”,
it’s what’s going on in DC.
These people have a “master” mindset and believe they are our RULERS instead of our public SERVANTS.
They govern at OUR PLEASURE and by the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
We do not serve them at their pleasure, as they’ve started to act like.
Ping for later.
