Democrat Congressman Assaults Student

[punked]

Hmmm, suspended. Exactly what I said would happen if a teacher did something similar. Thanks for making my point.

He was suspended while the board looked at what he did. ONCE THERE WAS CONTEXT it was found he did no wrong and is still at his job with more support then before. SO SHADY WHERE ARE THESE STUDENTS SO WE CAN HAVE CONTEXT????

It was found he did no wrong AFTER CONTEXT this is what all your posts are missing.

Hey Shady guess what the board found by the way? They found this student shoved a camera phone (sound similar) into another students private space and when asked for the phone or what he was doing (sound similar) he would not respond to the principal so he responded. Sounds an awful lot like what happened in your video. OUCH. Hypocrite.

A principal has authority over a student. Especially if a student is breaking school rules. The people questioning the congressman broke no rules, and the congressman has absoltutely no authority over them. Hey punked, thanks for coming out!

Accept once they touched the congressman with the camera there is thing called the law, and he has the right to protect himself. Oh noes not the law. AGAIN CONTEXT! Where are these so called students? Why haven't they pressed charges? I know in your world you are guilty until proven innocent but I live in the real world Shady. Not cookie cutter Shady land.

Wait why are we talking about this if I show people his picture and then I show them Al Gores how many people can name him? You told it only matters when you can name someone from a picture remember?

They didn't touch him with a camera. But I love how you're arguing self-defense now! At least you're finally admitting that he did in fact make contact with them.

You can see him in the video the contact being made Maybe you think someone needs to shove a camera down someones mouth to ask a question I know that isn't true. So how are the court proceedings going Shady?

PS what is your opinion on Whiteman I saw you were cheering for her the other day you going to retract that now it appears she assaulted an employee?

That congressman was wrong to shove those kids no matter what the circumstances, and he knows it because he apologized for it, end of story. And for the "republicans do it too" crowd, this is for you. Anyone who acts that way is wrong, it doesn't matter which party they are from. I can say that, but can Dem cheerleaders? Or are you going to link to another Republican incident as if that justifies it?

You're correct that this back-and-forth doesn't get us anywhere. For Republicans or Democrats (to use the examples in this particular thread) to blame the others for what is unquestionably also part of their own makeup doesn't even make sense, beyond the blind sense of partisanship.

[Shady]

That's the hilarious part. First punked said that it wasn't assault. Then he said it was justified. Then he said Republicans do it too. It's as if he's throwing everything against the wall, and seeing what sticks.

But what's even more funny, is watching him start thread after thread about so-called incidents involving Republicans. Swinging wildly like a fighter behind on the scorecard in the last round of a fight. Trying desperately to land something. All the while contradicting everything he's previously said.

[GostHacked]

Possibly. Although I haven't seen many with Republicans or Democrats. This one went viral, which is the only reason I found out about it.

Which leads to the only reason you'd post about it. If it's not viral, Shady does not pay attention. If this was a viral video with a Rep, you'd dismiss it entirely.

That is the Shady style.

That's not true at all. But if something doesn't go viral, there's a good chance that I might not see it. It goes hand in hand.

Again, this isn't true at all. In fact, I started a topic on James O'Keefe after he was arrested in New Orleans.

He was a conservative filmmaker not a Republican in congress or the senate. This is the difference here to me. And if it's not in your face, you won't be looking for it, is this correct Shady?

So what? Either is Rush Limbaugh. What's your point?

I always browse the news. But if I don't know about something, I can't post it. I fully admit that on a daily basis, I'm not aware of every single thing that gets posted on the internet.

Good so you agree Meg Whitemen has disqualified herself as the Governor of California then.

Etheridge now trailing Republican after his assault video went viral.

My prediction. He doesn't lead again in this race, and loses in the fall.

Wow they polled a whole 300 people so the Margin of Error in this poll is like 20%. So this poll is worthless is what you are saying. Great.

Seriously did you look at the poll 60% are over 50 years of age it isn't a real poll.

Gotcha Shady. You are allowed to have a Private party, pay money and rent a private bar only if you are a republican. What would Rand Paul do. HAHAHAHAHA.

As for a youtube video who no context it means nothing.

Punked, you sure flip lop often. You are all over the place with this thread.

Nope no flipping or flopping. I am tired of this crap, I am going to stick a video camera in someones face poke them in the eye and hope they do something is not journalism. It brings down the discourse.

Kirk is running scared though now that it has been shown he lied about his military record (which was wrong with Shady only when it was a Democrat) and how it has been shown he lied about his teaching record. Ohhhh poor Kirk now he has to pay someone to follow people around with a video camera to get out of context video clips of people not attached to campaigns to try and stir up controversy.

As an elected representative he has to be prepared to answer constituents questions wherever he may be. He failed miserably.

This person was not a Constituent he wasn't even in his own state when this happened. These were two people sent there by an Ambush site, they were sent there to berate him and try to provoke a response and they did. They weren't after his thoughts or opinions, they didn't want to know what he thought. They were to get sound bites they could edit to make it sound like he was saying things he wasn't. That is propaganda and is ruining the country.

So where do you stand on the Whitemen assault? I notice that thread died quickly apparently like I said only matters when it is a Democrat.

The kid asked a simple question and was assaulted. Who are the propaganda merchants, punked? I'm very interested to know who is ruining the country? Are they the same propagandists who call Tea Partiers all sorts of vile names, and improperly smear them to the American public on almost every newscast?

YES the 24 hour news cycle is killing the country. We agree, they try to fill in 24 of news with garbage that dose not deserve air time. The same people that tell you the Democrats are weak, and Republicans are evil, and the tea party are crazy. Some of it might be true but who cares because most of it is just press release reporting from each of the parties. IT ISN'T NEWS IT IS PROPAGANDA.

This incident has nothing to do with the 24 hour news cycle. It's a private citizen asking a question of a congressman. It wasn't MSNBC, or CNN, or FOX News. It wasn't even a reporter from a local television station. The congressman went bonkers. It's his fault, nobody elses.

[Shady]

Looks like Democrats are at it again. Another person assulted at a Dem campaign event. :angry:
