A couple of points: First is that YouTube [initially] pulled the video from its site, which means someone threatened them, not the least of these being this congressman's staff. Second is a response to those who say "they all do it": Well, I guess so, but only Democrats beat young college kids asking about ObamaCare. This congressman might as well be a rep for SEIU. The report's at Big Government, and Ed Morrissey adds this, "Video: Rep. Etheridge assaults student on street; Update: Video restored" (via Memeorandum):
His opponent is Renee Ellmers, who works in the health-care industry and is a staunch opponent of ObamaCare, opposes the bailouts and Obamanomics, is pro-life, wants to try terrorists in military courts, and demands immigration enforcement. It doesn’t appear that Ellmers is a big fan of assaulting students on the street, either. Perhaps this R+2 district might be ready to exchange their current Congressman for someone who understands the proper relationship between elected officials and their constituents — and the laws regarding assault and battery.UPDATE: The jerk apologizes, kinda, "Etheridge Statement on Viral Video." Meanwhile, Mediate blames the young videographer.
