Congressman Etheridge Acted Out in a Violent and Threatening Manner... WASHINGTON, June 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has filed an official complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) against Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-NC) for allegedly assaulting a man on a Washington, DC, sidewalk on June 9th. According to press accounts, after the man asked Rep. Etheridge "Do you fully support the Obama agenda?" Etheridge allegedly grabbed the man by the wrist and by the "scruff" of the neck, pulling him into "an awkward clinch." A video of the incident was widely distributed on the Internet and aired nationwide on major television networks.
[Bob Etheridge] grabbed one of the lads, briefly holding him in a headlock, which sent the right-wing hate machine into hyperbolic overdrive, using words like "assault," "violent altercation" and "accost" Quite an overstatement: Triangulator watched the video and has seen frat boys play more roughly. First, journalists, amateur or pro, should identify themselves and their organization when approaching someone for comment - saying that you're a "student" doesn't cut it. Secondly, the provocateur's question, "Do you support the Obama agenda?" was not intended to elicit a real answer, only to provoke an outburst. Sadly, Etheridge took the bait. This project has had a long history and it's fairly complex," Patrick Byker, the attorney who requested the deferral, said this week. "We wanted t...

WASHINGTON -- When Congress returns to Washington today after a weeklong breather, the collective grumbling of millions of American motorists will compel lawmakers to prove they're doing something -- anything -- to fight rising gas prices. So this week, with the help of Rep. Bob Etheridge, a Lillington, N.C., Democrat, Congress may tackle an obscure commodities market in a move that some oil experts say could have an immediate impact.
Congressional Democrats went on a rampage three months ago to paint Tea Party activists as violent extremists, despite zero evidence that the movement's rallies have been anything but peaceful. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, took a media tour, somberly informing viewers of CBS' "The Early Show" that, "We've had a lot of serious disagreements on tax bills, on war and peace and other matters, and I haven't seen the level of, frankly, threats or anger or threatening of violent acts that I've seen recently. Mr. Hoyer must have been referring to members of his own caucus, such as overnight YouTube sensation Rep. Bob Etheridge.
WASHINGTON - With Congress returning to Washington today after a weeklong breather, the collective grumbling of millions of American motorists has compelled lawmakers to prove they're doing something - anything - to fight rising gas prices. So this week, with the help of Rep. Bob Etheridge, a Lillington, N.C., Democrat, Congress might tackle an obscure commodities market in a move some oil experts say could have an immediate impact.
Rep. Bob Etheridge, D-N.C., "deeply and profoundly" regrets his reaction to two video ambushers, but most people who see the now- viral video of the encounter will find his reaction profoundly understandable. Etheridge was on a sidewalk near the U.S. Capitol when the pair intercepted him, asking if he "supports the Obama agenda." They claimed to be students, but they wouldn't say from where, "here on a project," although they never said what it was. And, despite Etheridge's repeated question, "Who are you?" they never identified themselves.
