MSNBC is a parody of a parody of a parody of itself.

At least their MO is easy to figure out.

The dems motto: Whenever a democrat does something stupid, a republican must be the real cause behind it.

Won't work this time. Over at DU, they're 95% in agreement with us. The guy was drunk and disorderly and assaulted those kids. His apology and news conference sealed the deal.

So isn’t it the same thing Michael Moore does to accolades from the same people?

Yet I haven’t seen any GOP’er grab him in a.....”hug”.

What happened to gonzo journalism? What happened to Sam Donaldson's shouted questions to the President? What happened to 60 Minutes interviewers chasing their victims after their producers shot undercover video? The left used to love all of those.

The kid asks one question and it’s an “ambush”?

Even were this true (which I don’t believe), that’s still no reason for him to go off half cocked on this young man. Are the Democrats saying this is acceptable behavior by a sitting congressman? Then that tells me the level of maturity in the average congressman today.

I’d be surprised if Obama doesn’t appoint Etheridge the new Press Secretary.

They can spin this however they want, but in the end, there was NO EXCUSE for Etheridge to put his hands on that guy - NONE WHATSOEVER.

Oh gee, can you imagine the danger he was in...

Why they asked him questions, and the tape was rolling...

His whole family was in jeopardy...

This sort of thing could bring the government down if it was allowed...

Good grief Lefties, grow a set.

Democrats and liberals are proving themselves to be on the same par as Islamic jihadists.

When they defend creeps who are caught on tape assaulting a citizen reporter the way Etheridge did, there’s just no denying that they don’t give a damn about the truth, and will lie to your face about even the most obvious of things for partisan reasons.

I swear, this nation needs to recognize that we have an avowed enemy movement working to destroy this country, right out in the open. We then need to take the necessary steps to contain and neutralize this threat to our survival.

What is the legal definition of “assault”? Isn't it in most states unwanted touching? Can't one be charged for assaulting a police officer for even less than what the Democrat Congressman did?

They can spin until the cows come home but it ain't gonna work...

_________________________________________________________

The congressman first grabs the hand of the youth with his right hand

then grabs the camera out of the youth's hand with his left hand

and and continually asks who are you.and pulls it down to his side.

then next grabs him with one hand by the back of the neck while facing him..

Then pulls him toward him and to his side where he puts his arm around him:

the youth finally pushes away from him and the congressman leaves with his camera (but he must have got it back because the first part of the video is from the camera the congressman grabs and walks away with)

Whatever else its definitely battery and the kid never lays a hand on the congressman except to push away from him.

The MSM only questions “who’s behind” the video when a Democrat or Liberal is being exposed or confronted. I don’t ever recall an MSM reporter or talking head wonder “who was behind” the George Allen “Macakca” video. The Bush drinking video that appeared on the eve of the 2000 election was proudly shown on every prime-time news show, without hesitation or consideration about “who was behind” the video. So here it is once again, the liberal media double-standard, videos that confront conservatives are celebrated and shown over and over again, and videos that target liberals and Democrats immediately have their source and validity questioned.

“Do you believe in 0bama’s agenda?”

Oh...my...gawd.... the has to be the ambush of ambushes. I don’t think there is a greater ambush that has ever occurred in the time humans have been on this planet. And that poor Rat Congressman, he was just defending himself from this horrible, horrible, ( a third time) HORRIBLE ambush. How could they. Oh the humanity. Wailing, gnashing teeth, pulling beards, WHAAAAAAAAAAAA.
