If they had done something physical to him, or asked (as I might) about a family member of his performing an astounding feat of sexual acrobatics with a farm animal, I could understand. But this was unprovoked assault and battery caught on video tape and the congressman should be up on charges.
“...just by riling up a member of congress”
Yeah, how dare these proles ask a Dear Leader a question! What did they expect?! /SARC/HURL
Exactly! Some of these "kids" are damn rude and they are giving all conservative reporters a bad rap in DC.
Anyone over fifty remembers CBS’s Sixty Minutes. It was celebrated by the media. Of course, most of its targets were business or military.
Oh, I did forget Republicans.
yea.. they really went all out to rile him up
“do you support the 0bama agenda?”
this will get a member of congress to attack you and demand you identification so they can ruin you.
who are the fascists again?
I’m trying to figure out how asking a Democrat is he supports the Obama agenda is a provocative question.
Acting strangely?? This is full-on assault and battery. A house member ought to know better than to do that. I bet that he didn't know that there was a second camera on him.
They were kids and sounded a little freaked out, definitely not professionals.
BTW, what is a “TMZ”?
***what is a “TMZ”?***
Short for “thirty mile zone” or TMZ.com, a celebrity gossip site.
Because they didn't have to. Realistically, probably due to fear of retaliation or a visit from the SEIU.
Let me be clear. These students acted stupidly...I would not be suprised if the telepromter said this tomorrow.
Leftists consistently seek to harm those who impede collectivism. If you don't realize this by now then there is simply no hope for you.
I would sure want to know that if anybody stuck a camera in my face and started asking questions.......
I think it is unfair to use the phrase "stuck a camera in my face" here. And besides, we aren't talking about you but rather about an elected Congressman on a public sidewalk.
They didn't address the mealy mouthed Mo Fu as sir!
LOL
Whether the questioners are professionals is irrelevant. Besides, they claimed not to be. And I didn't think they acted "freaked out" until the Congressman started physically attacking them.
What is rude about asking a Democrat Congressman if he supports Obama's agenda?
How about this: if the drunk responded politely and said, “Sure, I’ll answer you, but first, who are you?” That would have been the adult and manly thing to do, expressing no hostility and implying no threat. And if the student refused politely (like he did), the drunk could have chosen to respond civilly and answered or he could have walked on. Instead, he went nuts and physically attacked the student all the while demanding to know who he is. Wrong move.
When attacking someone and demanding to know who they are (explicit attack and very implicit threat) by someone from the government, I would NEVER identify myself. Who knows what the drunk/violent crazy loon is capable of doing? Especially someone that is a democRAT with union ties.
No way would I answer and I applaud the student for being strong enough to resist the (literal) strong arm tactic to get his name.
Heck, come to think of it, our men in Afghanistan can’t do what the drunk did to the student when interrogating terrorists.
Says a lot.
“basil” had posted that he thought they acted “weird”...
I replied and called it “freaked out”...
either way they were obviously just kids who did not realize how nasty dims can be.
