There are truly no words… Actually that’s a lie, there are lots of words. And most of them only have four letters. This video is a must-see.
Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC2) was on his way to a Nancy Pelosi fundraiser when a student camera crew asked him if he supported Barack Obama’s agenda as president. Of course, being the firm supporter of intellectual discourse that he is, Rep. Etheridge hit the camera, hit the student, grabbed onto his wrist, then proceeded to grapple him by the neck and hold the student so that he couldn’t leave, all the while demanding, “who are you?”
Interestingly, you wouldn’t think that a congressman with that much violence under his belt would be the kind who gets an ‘F’ rating from the National Rifle Association.
H/T to Kathy for this one.
UPDATE
Apparently, he’s sorry.

Okay this is frigging hilarious. In his defense he probably was just having a bad day…but it was still awesome.
I don’t have a whole lot of respect for this Michael Moore wannabe who tried to ambush the Congressman without identifying himself, but really, when you’re a public official you’ve got to be able to walk away from this kind of shit disturber.
