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.

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.  >:(

Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

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.
