    Dem Congressman assaults two college students

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...23-503544.html

    SHOCK VIDEO: Congressman Assaults Student on Washington Sidewalk...

    Legal trouble?

    NCarolina Dem Turns Vicious...

    Etheridge Statement on 'Viral Video'...



    Watch this video, these kids only asked him if he fully supported Obama and he went off the chain, first punching the camera, then grabbing one of the students wrists, and then grabbing the other one by the neck, demanding to know who they were. He has since apologized and used the obligatory "In all my years in politics i've never done something like this so I should get a pass" excuse.

    I bet he won't even get charged with anything, if I hit some kids I can't tell the cop "In all my years I have never commited this crime before so I should get a pass".

    He should be arrested. He just lives up to his party's values.

      I hope this does not get spun the other way towards ambush journalists.

          If that's not assault, I don't know what is. I think you will see more and more of this as "The People" get more desperate to regain control of this Union.

            LOL. He was just trying to give the kid a smooch and hold his hand, c'mon.

                Guys, guys... he's in the wrong party to be held accountable for his actions, dur!
                In all seriousness, no matter what the party, these bufoons get by with way too much. Literally murder.
                In all silliness...
                he was just upset because he has no idea what the Obama agenda is. I get pissed and assault people whenever they ask me that too.

                After watching the news reports, I'm shocked at two things: 1, why didn't they press charges? That's a bit fishy to me. 2, Of course the media is going to make every excuse possible for this guy and demonize the person assaulted. I'm sorry, but I could say far worse things to the man than what they did, and he wouldn't have the right to grab me like that. Kid should have kneed him in the junk and cried rape.

                      It's battery. Assault is a threat. Battery is actual physical contact.

                        Point taken, I may not be as litigious as most, other than that i stand by my comment......

                          It's semantics i guess, but sometimes I find it bothersome when words are incorrectly used, especially when the press does it. They should know better.

                          As for your point, I'd disagree. I don't see anything desperate about asking a question. You could say, as the politicians get more desperate, you'll see more stuff like this. When the people get desperate, they'll stop asking questions and start giving Hatian necklaces.
