North Carolina Rep. Bob Etheridge assualts student
 

Rep. Bob Etheridge, a Democrat, is seen in an amateur video grabbing the wrist and neck of an unidentified young man after he approached the congressman and asked if he supported the "Obama agenda."

Etheridge is then seen trying to snatch a cell phone camera out of the student's hands. He then grabs the man's wrist and refuses to let go.
"Who are you!" the seventh-term congressman demands. "Tell me who you are ... I have a right to know who you are."


Another man, not seen on camera, then tells Etheridge, "We're just here for a project."


When the student asks Etheridge to "please let go of me," the congressman then grabs him by the neck.

What a bully. Too bad the kid didn't smack him when he started grabbing him.

Why hasn't this been all over CNN and the like??

Re: North Carolina Rep. Bob Etheridge assualts stu
 

dunno, they can't show everything, but maybe because he is a Democrat?
Maybe because both guys are white it isn't sensational enough?

Maybe they have more important stories like the NAACP fighting with a big business like Hallmark who is reaping obscene profits.

If that were a Republican Senator assaulting a liberal student, he would have already been asked to resign--by his own party. The media most certainly would have hung him out to dry. However...he's not a conservative, so that puts the blame on the student for being so impertinent as to ask him a yes-or-no question. :coffee2

*sigh*

I mentioned this and my wife said she saw something about it on Fox TV today.
Other than local news, the only news channel she allows in our house is Fox.
She said the man has apologized.
