Dems defend Etheridge, attack Breitbart
Politico ^ | 6/14/10 | Ben Smith

Bob Etheridge's abject apology for roughing up an anonymous conservative videographer is being accompanied by a defense of the congressman from national Democrats.

"Motives matter, and I think you can see who was behind this," said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse just now. "This was a Republican party tracking operation. If it wasn't a party tracker or intern, why is the face blurred and why is the source hidden? You know if it had been a right wing blog, they'd identify themselves and they'd be booking this person on TV all day. Republicans know if they admit their involvement in this game of gotcha it will undermine their credibility. One minute this guy is interviewing a member of Congress on camera and the next a video is released with his face blurred out? If that doesn’t tell you this is a Republican Party hatchet job nothing will."

If Etheridge was a true Democrat, he would have smiled at the camera, and said “ Obama’s the greatest president ever, and I support him 100%”, maybe he’s worried about reelection or something... just sayin

I am so sick and tired of Democrats.

I think that is a more global statement than you may know.

Everything the Democrats are touching right now is contrary to American values as well as directly impacting American's lives.
To boot, everything they are touching they are royally f**cking up and the media (bless their little communist hearts) is doing everything they can to tell the public "Who you going to believe? Your lying eye's or what WE are telling you?"


49% of this country believes the Democrat's are too liberal. My bet is if those respondents had better, TRUTHFUL choices, the Dem party would be painted in full red truthful lights with gold hammer and sickles to accent.

Keep it up Democrats; the mother of all political ass kicking's is coming.

The Klansman and the Klan are a major part of their heritage and the democrat party never apologizes for anything a democrat does much less that integral arm of their party. The party of slavery, secession, the KKK, Jim Crow, Poll taxes, firehoses turned on protestors, opposition to the Civil Rights Act, church bombings, etc. What a long and glorious history they have.
