Just another typical reaction from a Democrat congressman;

Wonder if this will get as much play from the liberal media as that woman making fun of Barbara Boxers hair. (rhetorical quetion)


Could you imagine the imagined outrage had any GOP congressman done this exact same thing.

Moe,

I like it my way better. Having a bad day? I'm sorry your life sucks.



So aside from attacking me do any of you Democrats want come to the defense of this congressman?

You would, but then again it's widely understood that the closest cultural stereotype you fit in to is the hayseed standing at the rail fence exhibiting dismay at the removal of your mobile home by a tornado so surprise is not really registering.

What a surprise...not a peep from the liberals.



Moe,

It could be worse...I could be in your cultural stereotype.

Oh, please, enlighten me. What would that be?

What an ***.

Oh, and I remember reading one story about that lady making fun of Boxer's hair. I thought it was funny more than anything.

Moe,

You tell me.

And here I was all a dither that you might have some sort of witty response.

Come on, hillbilly. Give it a shot.

That was no lady. That was Carly Fiorina, aka the Death of Hewlett-Packard.

Regarding the original post - not a lot to say, really. Students stuck a camera in his face and started asking him questions, he pointed the camera to the ground and demanded to know who they were. Sounds like bidness as usual to me.

That's f'ucking hilarious.

Sticking a camera in his face was him walking up to where they were (on the sidewalk, in plain sight), getting in their face.

Pointing the camera to the ground was him smacking the camera out of their hands.

Demanding to know who they were was grabbing the cameraman's wrist, restraining him and trying to force him to identify himself.

If that's business as usual, when will we see him charged?

It doesn't trouble you at all that a congressman thinks it's ok to assault a kid on the street?

EDIT: I'm guessing the response from Jophiel will be something like this...

It bothers me as much as it bothers me that very few of them care about anyone's chil'ren except (maybe) their own.

I'm not buying into the outrage **** over it, no.

Lack of outrage over a meaningless event 3000 miles outside my sphere of any possible influence may or may not be apathy.

In my case it is, I suppose, a qualified apathy. No one was hurt, and if they are I'm hardly close enough to give them a band-aid.. I can't vote this guy out of office or campaign to keep him in.

So basically what you're saying is that not all Democrats are quivering pussies. I concur.

Liberals only have apathy towards things like this. Show them an illegal alien, and their children, getting deported if you want to see real outrage from them. Or better yet tell them the govn is monitoring communique from known sponsors of terror to the US that'll really get their panties in a wad.




p.s. Moe...I take being called a hillbilly as a compliment so thank you.

Samy,

H*ll yeah! Now that's what i'm talking about. Does this mean Cheney can now legally wring the neck of reporters he doesn't like as long as he pretends to hug them afterwards? I'm all for this if that's the case.

I'm sure the amount of damage Cheney could do to a mobile adult is pretty minimal, so sure.

Read the article, and the comments, and I think this among the comments summed things up best:

A commenter wrote:
These kids are like students in a classroom trying to antagonize the teacher into doing or saying something she shouldn't for the express purpose of getting her into trouble. Students have done that to teachers, and the teacher needed to send them out of the room, rather than getting riled up by them.

The congressman should've dealt with them in the same way that a teacher would by not entertaining their monkey business by standing there talking to them. Say no comment, or something that's nondescript and noncommittal and move on before they have the time to say anything else next time congressman. Don't let them draw you into their nonsense.


Honestly, I'd have more sympathy for the kids if they had come up with a better first question than "Do you support the Obama agenda?" Of course a Democratic Congressman is going to get annoyed by such a vague question that isn't even really about him. Why not, "What are your positions on economic reforms? Do you support the AZ immigration law? What do you think should be done about the oil spill?"

If they're high school students, then the Congresscritter needs to get a reality check (and possibly jail time for assaulting a minor.) If they're college students, then, well, they're idiots and deserve to flunk their class.

Cat,

Regardless of who they were you actually think it's acceptable for congressmen to physically detain someone who's asking them a question? H*ll he put one of them in a headlock.
#25 Jun 14 2010 at 4:05 PM Rating: Good
No, it's not acceptable. Their parents have all the right to sue if they're under 18. They themselves have all the right to sue if they're over 18.

I still think they're stupid kids and terrible investigative journalists, however.

Liberal Conspiracy

TILT
"Students" acted like dolts, Congressman acted like an ***.

Neither really affects me much.
