Not sure what this dummy was thinking. Oh those silly liberals. :)

That's really a weird video. I wonder if there is more to the story than just this. If not the guy ought to be given the boot by the voters and censured by his party.

From what I saw he only asked him if he supported the Obama agenda. This guy might be looking for a job in the next week or so. Well probably not sense the dems don't seem to care unless they have an R behind their name.

Breitbart is very well known for releasing selectively edited videos.

That's the problem tho, who knows what lead up to this. Maybe they had people all along his path, harassing him as he walked. I don't know. I don't understand why they would fuzz the student's face out. Overall, he is still responsible for his actions which were clearly out of proportion to the student's actions.

LOL at this guy's opening statement:
Rep. Bob Etheridge Knocks Camera From Interviewer's Hand on D.C. Street (http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/06/14/rep-bob-etheridge-knocks-camera-from-interviewers-hand-on-d-c/)
After being ambushed by two young men wielding a video camera on a Washington street, Democratic Rep. Bob Etheridge of North Carolina knocked the camera from the hand of one of them. Ambushed?!?! Really - LOL

Looks like the actions from a person who knows his days are numbered. I'm guessing whoever runs against him now has a great campaign add. The bad part is he was just past the kid when he turned to assult him. If he would have just kept walking he could have hid his anger for a few more months.

Yes, a congressman should handle himself better. You can't manhandle people even if they're harassing you...ever.

Had to do some searching, but I found his Party affiliation. Of course, since it didn't mention "Republican" in the headline, it's safe to assume it was a Democrat. When it's an "R", headlines everywhere mention it...when it's a "D", they don't mention it. :doh:

I agree with FD...looks like he's nervous about his job security...as he should be.
