Long Hot Summer Begins: Congressman Attacks Student
Video – Rep Ethridge Assaults Student
Then apologizes after public outrage…
Video: Dem Rep. Ethridge Apologizes Over Video of Him Roughing Up Student
Maybe it is my Catholic upbringing, but I’ve always been cursed with a bit too much empathy. It is often difficult to witness people bearing the full weight of the consequences of their decisions, even when it is richly deserved. (And, in the case of House Democrats few have ever been more deserving of reaping everything they’ve sown.) We’re human, after all, and witnessing people on the cusp of realizing that they’ve lost everything can be difficult.
Last week, Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC2) attended a fundraiser headlined by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He was asked by some students on the street whether he supported the “Obama Agenda.” He didn’t take it well.
Expect more of this. A hard, progressive left captured the Democrat majority in Congress and forced them to enact a fantasy grab-bag of legislation that is increasingly unpopular with the American public. We’re on the cusp of a deeper recession, millions of unemployed Americans have no prospect for work, taxes are about to spike higher and we’ve maxed out the national credit card. The Democrats were given a chance to run government and they’ve only succeeded in running it into the ground.
So, yeah, Democrats who are up for reelection this November are a bit testy.
Fortunately, Rep. Etheridge isn’t one of those gerry-mandered political welfare queens. According to the Cook Report, his district is an R+2 district. He has a credible opponent. Check her out here.
Let’s recap what we saw on this video. A sitting Congressman–a presumed living extension of James Madison and other founding fathers–was asked on a public street whether he supported the President’s agenda. His response was to hit away a video camera and assault a student. The age of Pericles this ain’t.
It is going to be a long, hot summer. But, you’ve been shown a politician who can be beaten this November. Act accordingly.
VIDEO: Congressman assaults student
Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) was approached by a student group trying to do a project, when things got physical. Not Eric Massa physical - this guy grabbed the kids arm and wouldn't let go. The Congressman was walking in public and had no business acting this way. Glenn has the video and the reaction on the radio program today. ( Transcript/Video, Insider Audio)

Video: Pelosi, “We’ll Stop Blaming Bush When the Problems Go Away”… after she said she wasn’t aware that anyone was blaming Bush for things?!?… HELLO?
The lack of responsible leadership, the ongoing blame game and continuous spin machine spewing lies and falsehoods in Washington DC, from the White House, in Congress and from the Democratic Party open the door for unbecoming behavior by all and the type of attacks by elected officials like Rep Ethridge, who think they are above the American People and

Progressive Pelosi Plays Pius… Proved Pretender… Perpetually!
Representatives Ethridge, Clyburn and Pelosi need to be voted out in November along with about 90% of the incumbents. If you know someone in NC, make sure the see this video. And if Nancy’s liberal district, one of the most liberal in the country, does not vote her out, at least she won’t be the Speaker of the House, if we clean up!
Latest Rasmussen Poll
49% of the people in America think the Democratic Party is too liberal. I’d say that is a low estimate! And only 19% of Americans identify themselves as liberals.
