Why Has Bob Etheridge Not Been Arrested...???
You folks have seen the video, right...???
This nutcase - Bob Etheridge (D-NC), a Member of Congress for God's sake - actually laid hands upon someone, it was caught on camera, tens of millions of people have seen the video... and no arrest...???
There's something up with this. Exhibit A: Bill O'Reilly totally ignored the "incident" on his show last night.
Now, com'on... imagine instead of Big Bob Etheridge manhandling a young guy in a suit who had dared to "ambush" him on a public street with a camera and a question it had been Big Bill O'Reilly caught on video...?!?!
Seriously...!!!
Suppose instead of Big Bob Etheridge it had been... oh... Trent Lott or Jim DeMint or perhaps former congressman Tom Tancredo or former congressman J.D. Hayworth...
(*SHRUG*)
I mean, jeez... create your own scenario; it ain't hard to come up with one where you know damn well an "incident" would have quickly escalated into arrest and 24 hour wall to wall media focus.
No, folks... something's off here. Something's not right.
Not only did this Congressman try to grab the young man's camera...
Not only did this Congressman grab the young man by the wrist and for a time refuse to let go...
This hulking clown towards the end of the video reaches out and grabs the kid by the neck!
Seriously... no arrest...??? You've gotta be frigg'n kidding me!
Last question: What would have happened if the young man with the camera had defended himself?
I mean... I doubt that Ol' Bob would have tried to grab a camera out of my hand, let alone grab my wrist or reach for my neck... (*SNORT*)... but if he had...
See what I'm saying here...???
Something isn't right here, folks; strange things are happening in the Age of Obama.

Thanks for chiming in, RR!
Riffing off your comment, obviously Pelosi and all the top Dems in the House have seen the video.
No doubt Harry Reid has seen it.
No doubt Tim Kaine - Chairman of the DNC and former Governor of Virgina - has seen the video.
And I'm betting... Obama has seen it.
Yet here we are... Wednesday morning... and as far as I know... Etheridge has still not been arrested.
I've seen some coverage in the mainstream media. Glen Greenwald over at Salon slammed Etheridge the other day and called for his arrest, but...
WORDS ARE EASY!
Where are the actions...???
Where's the ACLU...??? Isn't NOT BEING ASSAULTED BY A MEMBER OF CONGRESS usually considered a civil right...???
(*SMIRK*)
We're losing our country, RR.
The black panther voter intimidation "incident" which political operatives inside the Holder Justice Department made "go away" (in a legal sense) made that clear quite some time ago...
Forcing legal creditors of Chrysler being forced to surrender their legal rights made that clear quite some time ago...
This Etheridge "incident" - it's so "in your face" that it's scary.
Every major newspaper in the nation - plus the networks and the rest of the national media - should be crying for Etheridge's arrest simply based upon respect for the Rule of Law.
They're not, though... are they...?
We are well and truly screwed unless the American People throw the bums out in November and then again in 2012.
