Douchebags, the lot of them. However, if the kids actually wanted to do something more than get 15 minutes of internet fame, they would have pressed charges.

Jophed,

He did more than just act like an *** he broke the law. Of course if you don't have much use for the law I can see how this wouldn't bother you. This Democrat attempted to use his position to intimidate someone who asked him a question he didn't want to hear. This kind of behaviour is typical of the Democrat party and your response is just as typical. Marginalize the victim and that allows you to ignore what happened.

I thought he kinda seemed drunk. But then again, the news only plays the exact moment when he gets belligerent, so I don't know what the leadup was. Maybe they were hounding him before the clip they've been showing? I dunno. Nor do I care. He's already issued an apology.

All better then.

Ash,

The entire clip was on youtube, if you didn't look into it's simply because you didn't want to. I can understand that you being a radical liberal and all. All your bs about human rights and what not doesn't exactly hold up when someone who's political ideology you hold acts this way, especially if they're up for re-election.

Hey let's just ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. This is big for the Democrats. This guy was supposed to be a lock before this incident. This is the reason you liberals don't care about these kids rights being trampled on, nothing else.

Is this what Rush said this morning? None of these world-ending scenarios that you come here ranting about wind up meaning anything. I don't expect anything different in this case.

That's for the local authorities and judicial system to decide if they feel it's worth pursuing.

He's not on for another 2 hours or so.

Unrelated to Mr. Newly Not Single, I'm still just a little surprised by the implicit pass given to a U.S. Congressman on tape assaulting someone. I don't expect overstated outrage, but an honest treatment has to at least yield some concern, which I'm not seeing displayed here. Are you people really that polarized that you can't be bothered to call a spade a spade and acknowledge obvious lawbreaking when you are confronted with it?

Ash,

Rush doesn't come on until noon; not that I expect someone who ignores other viewpoints to understand.

Did you hear the congressmans apology? I guess having a "bad day" means you can grad the person annoying you around the neck and put them in a headlock.

Like I said you're all about human rights as long as it's the right people receiving them.

See, that's just false. It's not even disingenuous. The authorities don't determine whether a law has been broken. They may choose whether or not to prosecute, but that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not a crime has been committed.

Meh. I said he acted like an ***. Are you just mad that the cops aren't all over him or something? People grab other people's arms every day without being thrown in jail for it. If the cops think this is worth chasing or the film makers want to press charges, it'll happen. If not, it won't.

I sort of suspect, and I might be completely wrong here, that the "students" won't press any charges because it'll come out that they weren't just students at all.

My political bias allows me to forgive this act of poor judgment without a second thought. I mean, maybe if it was a slightly more egregious example of assault, but seriously. An old dude grabs my wrist with his withered Grampa claw and I assume he's demented, not that I've been assaulted. In summary: that clip was boring. I expected rape.

He appeared to be a jackass in the clip. Fine, dandy. Arrest him, impeach him, don't reelect him; fill your boots. I've never even heard of him before today.

What annoys me, though, is the implication that this has some grander meaning for the Democratic Party as a whole, by the usual crowd.

I see you only read in short bursts and skipped the words "judicial system". Are you under the impression that the judicial system does not decide if you're guilty of breaking the law or not?

Are you perhaps Niobia's famed internet lawyer?

Jophed,

This guy needs to resign immediately. That will suffice. Law abiding citizens don't grab people around the neck who annoy them.

Do you think these students might not want to end up getting b*tt f*cked by the media like Joe the plumber was?

And perhaps you're being intentionally obtuse. I break the law every time I drive a car and I'm not found guilty of it. It doesn't mean I haven't broken the law. Guilt and innocence are technical terms with implications attached that aren't necessarily addressed by stating that laws were broken.

A cushy gig with a GOP media outlet, paid speaking jobs and a book deal?

I'm sure they'd cry at night if they thought that was coming for them.

They should probably shut their little ***** mouths then. We're running **** now, so get used to having your rights trampled on, pUssy. At the point of a mother-fUcking gun.

Who gives a fUck? He broke the law pretty benignly, in any event. That's why he won't be charged. I say give him a pass.

That's pretty much just Varus. The rest are just hand-wringing that we're not hooting like monkeys.

I support restraining people with cameras, and I vote.

What a surprise radical liberals defending a fascist.

You're delusional if you don't think the Democrats are covering this up because of this guys chance at re-election in a year when the Dems are set to lose big.

Hey, remember when that kid that pretended to be a pimp to make ACORN look bad broke into a senator's office disguised as a phone company employee to try to tap her phone?

Yeah, nothing was done to him, either.

It's okay when GOP'ers assault people because they just pay them off...

The New York Times reports that in 2007 an eBay employee accused California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman (R) of becoming angry and forcefully pushing her in the company's executive conference room.

"The employee, Young Mi Kim, was preparing Ms. Whitman for a news media interview that day. Ms. Kim, who was not injured in the incident, hired a lawyer and threatened a lawsuit, but the dispute was resolved under the supervision of a private mediator. Two of the former employees said the company paid a six-figure financial settlement to Ms. Kim, which one of them characterized as 'around $200,000.'"

They're doing a pretty ****-poor job at it, considering it's been on every news station all morning.
