lol I don't think it's limited to just democrats. There are alot of these arrogant politicians who feel they can do what they want. As long as we continue to re-elect them they'll keep thinking that way.

At least someone on the left gets it.

Adam Goldstein: When Congressmen Attack

"I'd like to take Etheridge at his word, but it's hard to accept that he has always worked to promote a civil public discourse, considering he just grabbed someone by the neck for asking if he supported Obama's political goals. So, with all due respect to Etheridge, I'm inclined not to give him the benefit of the doubt. I am inclined to believe the person asking the question is genuinely a student working on a student project until I find out otherwise. (Gee, I can't imagine why the questioner would blur his face, considering people are bending over backwards to blame him for having the audacity to get grabbed.)
But if we do find out otherwise, I hope we can all remember the basic lesson that the conduct is fundamentally wrong. I want to believe our politics are not so partisan that we will excuse physical attacks if we think the victim had an ideological motive for being at the scene of the event."

"I have a right to know who you are".. His statements are more powerful than his actions. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT CONGRESSMAN!! If you cant get this part correct, then you have no clue what your job function is in Washington..

So now that we have more examples of liberals being violent, will the media stop lying about the Tea Party being violent and start reporting the violence found among liberals?

Such an angry bunch

What was really sad about this incident is the kid asked a question that Etheridge could have answered with one word "yes" or "no" without elaborating. Instead he flipped his lid. "Do you support the Obama agenda?" What's so tough about that question? Either you do or you don't. It doesn't even merit a "who are you?" response. Who cares who the questioner is if you give a one word answer? How can they take that and run with it to create some big story. I would expect a Republican to respond "no" and a Democrat to respond "yes." Someone who is a real reporter should ask him the same question. I'm more curious as to why he thought it was a hard question than why he grabbed the kid. In fact, let all Congress answer that question with a YES or NO answer. If they want to elaborate they can.
