Is it time yet?
-
Odds are he will still keep his job >:(
-
I give the student A+ for not responding with appropriate force!
I'm sure they prepped themselves for this possibility, but there is no way I would have let him do that to me.
Makes the Congressman look like the jackass many think he is.
-
Correct answer was, I am the son of people who pay your #$#^ing wages for supposedly representing their wishes in congress, you jumped up sanctimonius piece of S#%t, now take your hands off me before I make you sing like a soprano.
Edit: Personally a short jab to the throat would have been much more appropriate then film him while flubbering around on the ground trying to get air.
-
I live in NC and I didn't know about this till now! >:( I will pass this on to everyone I know in NC. This piece of Sh*t needs to be gone. I hope like hell that he is voted out in Nov.

How dare a lowly peasant, A PEASANT, to to a member of royalty that way!
On a less sarcastic note; I hope the student files assault charges against that piece of congress.

Yeah...my response would have been Out of court or go to trial?

He needs to go!!

And THIS, ladies and germs, is why they don't want people in Washington to have firearms.

The guy is out of it. If he tries to play the "I was unsure of his intentions and feared for my safety." my question is, where is his security detail? They all have them and they're usually close by no matter where they go.
What about McKinney (D-GA) who beat up on a Capitol Police Officer for not recongizing her as a member of Congress since she forgot her credentials? Nothing happened to her really. She didn't even apoligize for being an A$$ (pun intended).

BTW, family?

I know, unfair to "Buckwheat."
She isn't in Cogress anymore but was recently deported from Israel while caught on a Gaza blockade runner.
The lady is an f-ing QUACK in the first order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_McKinney

Congressman has no grounds to claim "fear."
He threw the first punch and was the only one to get physical.
The only thing the kid could have done different to really make him look bad ... I mean worse, is to have stated name, city and state, and college he attends. However, even without that the Congressman screwed himself big time!
No gun in DC is fine. A closed fist around the barrel of my Surefire would have left him feeling four knuckles against the bridge of his nose when he went for my cameraphone >:(
If you watch the end of the video you will see someone standing off behind the Congressman. However, there is no sign of security anywhere. If there had been security I'm sure they would have been all over these students the moment the Congressman grabbed at the phone.
Once again, good job guys on keeping your cool. I hope this goes national and the Congressman pays the price for assaulting students on the streets of D.C.!

I wouldn't call HotAir getting it out nationally. Fox, MSNBC, or even CNN(D) now THAT would be awesome.

Fox has been reporting it since noon..

After watching the video several times I can state that the young man has not watched Best Defense.
No cycling, no hammer strikes, no ankle stomps. ;D ;D
OK it would have been the second best defense but still.

Have you not noticed anything good that Hot Air covers FOX will cover not soon after? I think FOX lets Hot Air do a lot of their leg work for them ;D
Fox has been reporting it since noon..
Hot Air had the story up at 9:30.... thats about how long it usually takes FOX to get it up and running.

Hanity was talking about it on his show last hour.
As most of you know I am something of a public figure. (not on the same plain as a congresscritter, to be sure, but I digress) Point is, that people I have never seen before stop me on the street all the damn time to ask me questions about one thing or another they've heard me say on the radio show. And while I have been known to nonchalantly slip my right hand into my front pants pocket and get a grip on my KelTec, I've NEVER assaulted anybody, nor even demanded their ID, as did this piece of pelosi. I have politely asked for their name before departing so "I can remember you next time we meet", but NEVER have I reacted anywhere CLOSE to that manner.
Oh yeah, one more thing, ANYBODY ever grabs me like that will NOT be gripping anything with that hand anytime soon. ;D

And, what penalty would you impose on a drive by donutter that contributed to health issues ;D
-
Glenn Beck just featured it on his show too.
Vote early and vote often, NC!
-
If I still lived in NC, and this was me, I would look fwd. to having my fellow DRTV Forum members, pass the hat and raise my bail. As this Member of Congress would still be wondering what day it was, admiring the colors, and WHO HE WAS!!!
I still regret tar and feathering has gone away... :-\

More on the story: Washington Post - http://voices.washingtonpost.com/right-now/2010/06/who_tmzd_rep_bob_etheridge.html
Who TMZ'd Rep. Bob Etheridge?
Last week Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-N.C.), who's seen as a safe bet for re-election this year despite representing a somewhat conservative (Cook R+2) district, ran into two self-described students with video cameras outside of a fundraiser.
"Do you fully support the Obama agenda?" asked one of the students.
"Who are you?" asked Etheridge, grabbing one of the cameras and pointing it down -- a move more typically seen from Hollywood bodyguards than congressmen. The second camera rolled as Etheridge, irritated, held the wrist of the first cameraman, then pulled the student to his side and grabbed him in a hug.
"We're just here for a project, sir," said one of the students.
"I have a right to know who you are," Etheridge said.
"I'm just a student, sir," said one of the students.
It went on and on, with the grappled student asking to be let go, until he broke free and Etheridge left. The videos were under a minute long. On June 11, a new YouTube user named "DCCameraGuy" posted two videos, one from each camera.

Did anybody catch the comment on the WaPoo article copmaring this to AZ immigration?
The bigger story - thanks to Drudge -- will be the left wing media labeling students and endorsing assault. So cops can't ask people "who are you" but congressman can? Seems DC treats students worse than Arizona treats illegal aliens crimninals.

Talk about an assclown.
-
He publicly apologized. He's a dem. Incident closed, as far as the press is concerned; no over-analyzing or dragging this out like they would for a republican.
Off the radar in five days. >:(

But, had he been a Republican, or worse yet, a Tea Party candidate, the jokers at CNN and MSNBC would have industrial-strength tingles going up their legs for weeks!
Offered by Crusader who does not believe an apology is sufficient in this case--unless it comes with jail time.
