Again, all these posters throwing around words like "liberals" or "conservatives" etc. with obvious bias.
I don't care if the guy is a communist party candidate for New Hampshire, the guy that came up got physical with him and he had every right to be upset by it.
I don't call a firm handshake and a touch on the shoulder to be an excessive physical move. It's like I said, the reason the congressmen got his knickers in a knot was because he got confronted with one of his lies. I don't stick up for anyone just because they are of the same political party as I am and I don't like lying politicians on either side of the aisle. It was also inexcusable for the congressmen to use the kind of language he did also.
That is exactly what it was. You read that spot on.
It's been known to happen...I like it when people agree on something....anything, these days. But Casper read it very accurately. Anyone who can't see that is either living in a bubble or they themselves are the passive aggressive type.

Still haven't watched the video huh?
It's possible if you are not a guy that you don't grasp how the guy was "shaking" his hand etc. and understand the implications behind it.

yea was just giving him a hard time. We agree on a few things and other things the disagreement is how the solution should be implemented.

Several other posters have noted it as well.
Yes, I did so lay off your insinuations! Look, I am a conservative and I don't see that what the guy did was wrong. I think it was the congressman that was wrong in his reaction and I already stated why. Don't agree with me then so be it but stop beating this dead horse to death.
The article itself that was posted in here said the man touched the congressman's shoulder. Why avoid the part where it said that the congressman lied and was confronted about it? A politician using the word "ass" to address an American in public was not cool regardless. Funny how liberals will defend a Republican when they demonize other conservatives, isn't it?
But then votes Aye for the final, On Motion to Recede and Concur in the Senate Amendment: H R 240 Making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, and for other purposes. https://www.opencongress.org/vote/2015/h/109

The constituent overdid the friendly buddy thing with the handshake, then moved to the Congressman's shoulder. Politicians have bodyguards for a reason... being man handled by strangers in the streets. The guy was wearing a Tshirt with a flag on it so he probably didn't recognize it as the OP.
The Congressman was accused of lying about having NOT voted for amnesty. To confirm his record the Congressman then proceed to explain the four readings of the bill. The fourth final reading did NOT include amnesty but did include Homeland security. That the Congressman NEVER voted for Amnesty was correct. The 'FALSE' accuser admitted to NOT having read all four considerations of the bill.
I have dealt with this group on several occasions and every time they try to escalate our conversations to a level that is not constructive. Over this past weekend, I lost my cool and I regret responding the way I did.
I'm a Republican and the protesters were correct and he had no right to talk to them that way. He just didn't like it because he got caught in a lie. He's toast in my eyes.
I fully agree.
I think he was too quick in a, serious of course, but biting mean manner that was over the top.
I think he raised the tension more than he was effective in diffusing it.

Man handled? I wouldn't call shaking his hand or touching his shoulder as being man handled. The congressman in turn touched the protesters chest so..... Per your link the congressman admitted and apologized for his bad behavior.
As for amnesty, the left refuses to tell it like it is. They prefer "reform" so that's how they get away with denying they are for amnesty. I wouldn't doubt this was the same case with Knight. No one has provided a link in here proving that Knight didn't sign any bill that included amnesty aka reform. As I said, they spin the truth because they say that reform isn't amnesty when plainly it is.
