N.C. Congressman Apologizes for Physical Confrontation With Student in Washington

Three days after an Internet video surfaced showing North Carolina Rep. Bob Etheridge in a physical confrontation with a self-described student, the lawmaker said he is "profoundly" sorry for the tussle on a Washington street.

Rep. Bob Etheridge, a Democrat, is seen in an amateur video grabbing the wrist and neck of an unidentified young man after he approached the congressman and asked if he supported the "Obama agenda."

"I have seen the video posted on several blogs," Etheridge said in a statement Monday. "I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved.

"Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response. I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse," he said.

Yes indeed, How dare that little serf question his master. Don't he know his place? Why the aristocracy knows what is best.
This little serf crossed the line and he was put in his place. Let that be a lesson to all you other serfs.
