Democratic Congressman Attacks Student

Have you seen this yet? Watch the video- it's only a minute long- but it is shocking in its naked aggression. In it, Democrat Congressman Bod Etheridge (D-NC2), who was coming back from a fundraiser headlined by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was asked by some students on the street whether he supported the "Obama Agenda." The Congressman immediately grabs hold of one of the students and starts to assault him. I'll give the kid credit- if the Congressman would have touched me like that, I'd be in jail (I assume that in modern USA if I am assaulted by a Congressman and fight back I go to prison). The whole thing is caught on film.

Big Government broke the news, but I first saw this on powerlineblog, but saw over at rightwingnews that Etheridge has a credible Republican challenger named Renee Ellmers (yet another conservative GOP woman running for office this year). You can donate to Renee Ellmers' campaign here. Additionally, you can follow Renee Ellmers on Facebook and Twitter.


UPDATE: On an unrelated note, here is what happens when a Taliban sniper pisses off US troops- they drop a 500 lb airburst bomb on them:
