Good point. It was the same editing thing when they did it to Accorn - disingenuous. quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen I'd like to know why the people involved are obscuring their identity? This is another Breitbart production so it is automatically suspect till the entire video is made available.

No one could see the contact or who started the physical provocation.These "students" could have shoved at him or poked him off camera and then claimed crybaby status. This reminds me of these gems. http://www.opednews.com/articles/2/Breitbart-confirms-he-was-by-Eric-Boehlert-100302-763.html and http://www.popdecay.com/2009/09/18/police-report-debunks-right-wing-attack-on-acorn/5171 and http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/09/23/acorn_sues_okeefe_giles_and_br.html and http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-6144293-503544.html so anything`s possible.

Somehow not surprised, some people will come to the defense of people based on party without regard for the fact that you have a KID who gets assaulted by and ADULT. The obscured face likely because it's a kid and his identity isn't really germane to the fact that an adult laid hands on a minor for having the audacity to tape him and ask a PUBLIC OFFICIAL a question about POLICY. The kid identity is based on the fact that the interviewer is a student (claims heard on tape) judging from the height difference evident in the video, standing next to the Congressman, he's a high school aged student. At the very oldest he's a college freshman but I doubt it.

quote: ORIGINAL: Brain No, he's just stressed because he's sick and tired of other teaparty people's bullshit. quote: ORIGINAL: NeedToUseYou If I had to guess, the Congressman looks like he is drunk. Do you think that made it ok for him to grab the kid? Would you still think it was ok if it had been a republican grabbing your arm like that? Would you just shrug and say "he must be tired of the liberal bullshit?

Well the congressman in question admitted he was wrong and apologized, but don't let facts get in your way. Carry on[8\|]

The person who was assaulted should be filing charges. Who he might have been associated with is irrelivant.

Get a reality check, man. Your OP is based on nothing but party without regard etc.You say as much is your 2nd post.lol We`ll see who did what when the law hashes it out and take our positions based on the know facts.Or at least I will. Right now we have what the punks said.

Where have we all seen this before? Did you think we'd all forget the last time we saw "damning" video posted on that site? Until the unedited video is made available the safe assumption is that the Congressman was provoked/attacked and not by high school kids.

To begin with, you have brought up partisanship when no one else has, leading me to believe it was the intention of your post. Secondly, you are assuming that the "students" were minors with nothing to back your point. For all we know from the video they could be 40-year old grad students.

Archer -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 9:04:28 AM)
Typical Bullshit from the appologists for the left. LOL Owner you're a partisan hack from the start on every post in very way. When you start to hold fair and balanced as an article of faith and act on it then you might have credibility in calling any pot black. until then you lack credibility to call anyone on partisanship. DomKen you lack only a frogs hair from being just as bad. So stick the stupid insult. rulemylife and Dom Ken The kid is 5 ft 6 at best, the hair on his chin isn;'t even close to shaving required more than twice a month if you can;'t tell that from the video you're blind in more ways than partisanship. Voice pitch natural tenor hasn't even reached a full depth yet. You cite a lack of evidence, I cite you purposefully ignoring valid plain evidence because you want to defend the Congressman even though he's admitted publicly being in the wrong. 40 year old grad students? You narte a lying piece of work to even suggest that is a possibility, did you hear the voice? did you see the profile of that hairless chin? The Congressman himself has not claimed he was assaulted, he has admitted wrong doing and appologized, not the act of a man who was poked or hit first. conbtrary to your assertation based on nothing but blank space conjecture. “I have seen the video posted on several blogs. I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved. Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response. I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.” Congressman Bob Etheridge apology about the incident. So are you now going to claimhe was touched first and just doesn't mention it?

DomKen -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 2:28:46 PM)
One more time Breitbart is involved. All video evidence is suspect until the unedited original is available. Don't bitch at me that I don't believe a proven liar.

Owner59 -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 3:09:03 PM)
I didn`t come to the defence of anyone.Just pointed out that this scumbag Breitbart has a history of faking shit,pulling hoaxes and duping people .That doesn`t make one a political hack.That just pointing out facts. I left the links there.Respond to them or quit the crybaby act when no one takes you serious. What happened Archer? You seem kinds fringie with this. You used to be one of the reasonable ones. I wasn`t on CM during the ACORN hoax thing.But did you pile on like the rest,duped like the rest? If so,are you ready to acknowledge that Breitbart full of shit? Or is make-pretend, funner?

subtee -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 4:43:22 PM)
God, I love Wonkette People keep sending versions of this video today, and the videos keep popping up as “Removed by User,” so there’s something stinky going on, and we don’t even know if this a “congressman,” but maybe it is, and maybe there’s a reason these midget children are harassing him to the point where he firmly holds the one kid’s hand, which is gay. “Who are you?!” he keeps snarling to the kids with video cameras. UPDATE: Rep. Bob Etheridge apologizes to the mystery nerd he grabbed. And who are they, and does he really have a “right to know” who they are? Is this a constitutional question? Nobody knows the identity of these annoying dorks — why did they blur their own faces out of this dumb video? — and as a result, dumb wingnut websites are very concerned about this incident! Why won’t Rep. Bob Etheridge admit that he was so angry at these children with video cameras? Doesn’t he know children with video cameras are the future? Anyway, now you know what Bob Etheridge’s opponent’s campaign commercial will look like, because it will just be this video of Bob Etheridge smacking around these conservatard children. [Politico]

servantforuse -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 4:46:56 PM)
I don't blame Rep. Etheridge. Democrats up for re election in November are under a lot of stress right now.

Owner59 -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 5:02:20 PM)
Yeah,the his up coming election.....there`s no connection to that........is there?[8\|]

servantforuse -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 5:10:07 PM)
It has plenty to do with it. I'm sure that he isn't the only democrat who is a little edgy right now. There are few more out there who might be ready to snap at any moment. Those students should get one of those mics with a very long handle.

Owner59 -> RE: Congressman Assaults Student. (6/15/2010 5:27:32 PM)
The "students" may end up with a jail term,we`ll see.
