(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.

The brutal assault aside, it was interesting to hear this idiot asking "who are you?" over and over. As if it matters! Or maybe the Etheridge's answer depends on who he's talking to - typical unprincipled, mealy-mouthed Democrat.

And, as others pointed out, he could have just kept walking.

It lives up to expectations. I found myself pointing at the screen and talking to it- lol. “You can’t touch that kid like that!” He grabbed his wrist and then grabbed the back of his neck demanding to know who he was, saying I have a right to know who you are. I’m saying where the hell do you think you live anyway?

SOB touches me or my friends or family like that and I will personally kick his a$$. Typical democrat, I guess. I’m surprised that these kids didn’t beat the crap out of the congressman thug. Probably has his purple SEIU shirt under his suit.

This is what democrats are. NAZI thugs. Nothing more, nothing less.

That asshat is drunk as a skunk, and should be arrested for assault, and probably sued.

That is assault and bettery. If I were one of those kids I’d head straight to the P.D. and file a complaint. They were polite, well dressed and professional and this jerk way over-reacted.

Here’s hoping the video goes viral. I’m sure it will be a campaign commercial in his district.

he should have to apologize to his state and retire

No, he should run and lose, being the loser he is. Looks like a good seat to be held by a TEA Party backed candidate.

Maybe Etheridge thought they were from BP and, with Obama as his inspiration, he was just going to KICK SOME ASS!

I was expecting another misleading or overhyped headline (which has unfortunately become commonplace on FR), but that guy did go berserk. Lets hope that video goes viral in his district.

“That kid hould of punched him in the mouth.”

And “that kid” would have been brought up on charges of
treason and assault and tried in the press in about three seconds.

The people who brought him up would have been characterized as “right wing extremist nuts”, kkk members, and every manner of nazi and the seed that brought him onto the face of the earth would have been cursed far into the past, in the present and far into the future.

One hopes they’ll all be exposed and sent packing in November.

IMHO
