Your point is clear, and the students did address him as “Sir”.

What’s your agenda here, FRiend?

True...but what if these kids were from the Young Socialist’s league and this was a serious question, not an attack as Tingles Matthews called it. I damn sure would have filed charged after I knocked him on his drunk arse for touching me.

Maybe because they didn’t feel beholden to bow and scrape to His Majesty??? Maybe because they work for us, instead of the other way round?

Maybe cuz it was none of his damn business?

Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

Yeah, they weren’t professionals, definitely

Professionals would never have the GUTS these guys did.

Which is a terrible commentary on the state of the media.

We need MORE like this, and fewer cowards, RINOs and weak-kneed conservatives.

Would you please point out where in the video these “kids” were “rude”?

of course, you can’t. They were nothing but polite at all times, maybe TOO polite if you ask me.

That bullying piece of crap deserved a knuckle sandwich and a stay in jail.

I cannot believe Freepers would take sides against these young men who asked a simple, pertinent, and important question that the mainstream press REFUSES to ask.

We are in the fight of our lives, and you want these guys silenced in favor of the “professional” media.

You should be ashamed.

You seem to have an interest in this so I’ll ask.

This jerk is a bully. Does his opponent in November stand a chance of winning? It is hard to believe voters in NC will reelect someone like this. No matter what he says, he’s lying and he’s in bed with Miss Nancy. I pray NC voters have more brains than voting for this racist idiot.

You said they were “rude.” point out where.

Put up or shut up. Either is fine with me.

I invite anyone on this board to point out any place these young men were out of line.

You can’t.

The tape speaks for itself. Interpret it as you please.
Obviously, I have higher standards of civility than you
do so argue with someone else. Bye.

Some of these "kids" are damn rude and they are giving all conservative reporters a bad rap in DC.

And on what basis do you assume they were conservative? Has there been any confirmation of the identity or affiliation, if any, of those students? It certainly cannot be extrapolated from the single question asked, which merely inquired if the congressman supported Obama's agenda. There was nothing rude about the question, nor in the behavior of the students.

Third, he was well dressed and did not push back or become aggressive in any way with the older person.
He could have asked his question without grabbing, pushing, and manhandling this young man.

The young man was very astute and realized the representatve needed his help.
The representative did not manhandle the young man, he was using him for support because he was dizzy... ;-) /s

EXACTLY. When these Nazis grab you and shout WHO ARE YOU, don’t give them your name.

Approx 6 or 7 state/Fed agencies used Joe the Plumber’s name to illegally access + leak his records, in an attempt to ruin his reputation.

I was at a Tea Party last year. Some jackass reporter starts quizzing me, and I happily answered his questions.

Then he pulls out his notepad + goes, “What is your name?”

I told him, “My name is Barry Soetoro.” Then I spelled it for him as he wrote it down.

When he finished writing it down, I told him, “That’s 0bama’s real name, when he was a moslem student in Indonesia.”

The only thing better than avoiding Nazis is F’ing with them!

Sincerely,

Barry Soetoro

Well, it is a trick question. A flat yes and he’s screwed with his constituents. A no and he’s screwed in what has increasingly become an operationally Stalinist party. Physical violence against opponents comes naturally to these folks. The only thing really holding them back is the implied threat of an armed electorate.
