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.

I just emailed Sean Hannity the youtube link of the assault video.
You do make a good point though. I couldn’t believe how much Cynthia McKinney was forgiven in her college district.
LOL!!!

“Who are you?” is the answer untold legions would now be seeking by Googling the name Bob Etheridge.
The home page of this 7-term term congressman boasts he is “Accountable and accessible to Northern Carolinians.”
A tobacco farmer and hardware store owner by trade, Etheridge, who served in the USA Army from 1965-1967, touts pictures of himself with the troops on his homepage.
A member of the New Democrat Coalition, Etheridge is “active in freemasonry.” (Wikipedia). “He is currently the Grand Orator for North Carolina Freemasonry.
His bully actions of this past week even reach into the Oval Office as his wife Fay Etheridge, a nutritionist, “volunteers with the First Lady to promote service as a solution to Childhood Obesity and learning loss.”
Etheridge’s boast for having a “reputation for his strong stances on education issues,” flew out the window in one shot on a video now going viral.
Be careful. I clicked on "Make a speaking or appearance request" and my computer grabbed me and demanded "who are you?" until I rebooted.
;-)
If he touched the student...its battery.
Lol, that was funny.
She needs a lot more $ and a campaign upgrade.
Realistically, money would be better spent on NC legislative races so we're not fighting these gerrymandered districts every cycle. Republicans have a very good chance at taking the NC Senate and a possibility of winning the House.
This guy is the ultimate DIMocRAT. Pick on kids. Act tough. Demand answers so as to change the question. Be arrogant. What an asshat moonbat clown.
He obviously supports the Obama “Get in Their Face” Agenda.
“Don’t you think the Dems would have it all over the network morning shows? I’d be surprised if they didn’t.”
Not within 2 hours, no.
Here’s her bio. Hasn’t been elected to office, but has decent business and leadership experience. She’s also another attractive GOP lady. See for yourself (http://www.reneeforcongress.com). The assault incident is already up on her facebook page.
Renee Ellmers
Renee Ellmers was born in Ironwood in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula; when she was a child her family moved to Madison Heights, near Detroit, where her father took a job in the auto industry. He worked with General Motors until he retired.
After graduating from Madison High School, needing to work her way through college, Renee trained as a Medical Assistant. For the next eight years, working full and part-time jobs, she attended Oakland University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.
A year later, working as a Surgical Intensive Care Nurse at Beaumont Hospital she met her husband, Brent, a graduate of the University Of Indiana School Of Medicine.
After their son was born, while visiting family in Cary, Renee and her husband decided to move to North Carolina. Today she works with her husband as Clinical Director of the Trinity Wound Care Center in Dunn.
Renee is active in community affairs, having served as Vice President of Community Development for the Chamber of Commerce and as President Elect of the Chamber for the coming year. She has also served on the Dunn Planning Board, the board of the Betsy Johnson Hospital Foundation and the Harnett County Nursing Home Committee.
She volunteers at Cape Fear Christian Academy where her son, Ben, is a student, and teaches Sunday school at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
Last summer she and her husband attended a Town Hall meeting to hear Congressman Bob Etheridge speak on behalf of President Obama’s health care plan. Later, as a volunteer, she became an outspoken critic of government-run health care. She is now a candidate for Congress – opposing Congressman Etheridge – in North Carolina’s 2nd District.
“It was his chance to beat the shit out of this moron, with NO repercussions whatsoever....should have punched the drunk Congressman in the throat....”
And he wisely didn’t. The video will go viral, and in the end he’ll own this jerk.
It’s Christmas in June for the Renee Elmers campaign!

At the link, writer, Colby Hall, bemoans aggressive college kids accosting public servants and condemns their “inflammatory and guerrilla interview tactics.” Worries that elected officials must worry about being ambushed around every corner.
The kid simply and politely asked, “Sir, do you support the Obama agenda?” That’s an inflammatory and aggressive attack?
Just sent her a modest $25 over this.
I’m just....wow.
If a teacher did that, they would have their contract non-renewed.
This guy should easily go down in defeat now if the video is used.
..file an assault charge on the knucklehead
