In the video, we see two young men approaching Rep. Bob Etheridge, a Democrat from the Tar heel State, on a Washington, DC sidewalk and ask him if he supports the "Obama agenda."
"Who are you?" asked a clearly agitated Etheridge, grabbing one of the cameras and pointing it down.

The young men say they are students.
In a news conference Monday afternoon, Etheridge apologized for his behavior and "poor response" to the situation.

"I have seen the video posted on several blogs," Etheridge said. "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."

When you shove a camera in someone's face and they don't want to be photographed you better get out of the way. I probably would have pushed them out of my way also. So arrest me. Dumbass college students.

I believe they all are paranoid after what happened with the health care bill. All the death threats and angry people going after them. Personally if you don't invade my space I won't have to grab you to get the camera out of my face.

They were on a public sidewalk, not in HIS space. They asked a PUBLIC servant a question. That congressmaniac deserves a pair of CUFFS.

He's obviously not getting a damn free pass here. This man's mistake have gone viral on the net and therefore, all of these stupid remarks about him getting a free pass because he's a Democrat aren't valid in the least.

An outrageous response! That said I wonder why. Perhaps these two had stalked him previously. Still, an inappropriate response. He should be arrested for assault. This event defines assault.

Assault -unlawful threat or apprehension of imminent bodily harm. Congressmaniac-GUILTY. Battery-unlawful harmful or offensive contact with another. GUILTY. LOCK HIM UP!!!

Ahhhhhhh and there you have it. She's in the Midwest. Those types are really undereducated. I was born there and fled for the West Coast and know it all quite well. Scary scary place-the Midwest. Fat ugly and stupid.
