You probably remember when I posted that piece about North Carolina congressman Bob Ethridge getting physical with a student recently after said student asked an innocent question to the congressman.

In case you didn’t, here’s the clip:

It shows two men approaching Etheridge with a camera on a Washington street. He swats at the camera and repeatedly asks the men who they are. When they say they are students, he grabs one by the wrist and quickly by the back of the neck before pulling him against his side. After that event, Ethridge apologized on Monday after getting outed on the videotape as the aggressor.

According to Ethridge:

“The truth is I had a long day.”

“I’ve had bad days many times. It’s not a good crutch to lean on and I won’t use that.”

That apology is going to ring hollow to many who live in Ethridge’s home district in North Carolina. I certainly hope he is revising his resume because people are going to remember this incident when they visit their local polling place. What will come to their mind is, “Who are you?”

I’ll simplify this. A student simply asks a congressman whether he supports President Obama’s agenda. The congressman strikes said student and also hits away a video camera. The congressman’s name? Rep. Bob Ethridge (D-NC2). Remember that name when you go vote in November.

An enraged supporter of President Barack Obama attacked former congressional candidate Nathan Tabor during a Tea Party demonstration in North Carolina.

On Tuesday, the North Carolina Tea Party Patriots were holding a legal political protest against government bailouts. The Tea Partiers were demonstrating in front of Rep. Mel Watt’s (D-N.C.) Greensboro, NC office.

During what cops characterized as a peaceful protest, an enraged man, later identified as Governor Spencer began to shout vulgarities, disrupted the protest, argued with individuals and then became physically violent.

Governor Spencer then punched the Chairman of the Forsyth County (NC) Republican Party, Nathan Tabor, a North Carolina business owner and a former candidate for the U.S. Congress.

Investigation reveals that Governor Spencer is a union organizer, a socialist and a black liberation activist. According to political activist Bill Gheen, Spencer led the Greensboro K-Mart protests of 1995 and mobilized families, communities, and “the Pulpit Forum of Greensboro, a coalition of progressive clergy, to commit acts of civil disobedience.”

“The punch to Nathan Tabor’s face in front of his wife and crying child was an assault on all Americans that value free speech and freedom to assemble. We call on President [Barack] Obama to publicly speak out against this violence conducted by one of his supporters against his political opposition,” said Gheen, the president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC).

“We also call on the US Justice Department to file charges against Governor Spencer for violating Mr. Tabor’s civil rights and violating the civil rights of all Tea Party supporters and Americans who wish to speak out against the President without fear of violent reprisals,” Gheen said in statement released today.

Following the assault — caught on videotape — Tabor went to the magistrate’s office with police and a magistrate issued an arrest warrant for Governor Spencer.

However, a black magistrate rescinded the arrest warrant and issued summons to appear in court to both Governor Spencer and Nathan Tabor despite the fact the responding officer testified he had seen the videos and that Mr. Tabor had committed no assault. Both magistrates refused to view the videos.

“While the news media attempt to characterize Tea Partiers as violent racists who need to be watched, it is the leftists who are routinely used as goons by progressive organizations and create violence at peaceful protests by Americans,” said former NYPD detective and military intelligence officer Mike Snopes.

Meet Aaron Siebers. The 27-year-old Denver man, a Blockbuster employee, was skateboarding yesterday afternoon when he fell and ripped his uniform pants. Due to work last night–and concerned about getting “written up” by Blockbuster superiors for not wearing his work-issued khakis–Siebers came up with a harebrained idea.

Instead of just calling in sick, he stabbed himself in the leg and showed up at work claiming to have just been attacked by three Hispanic males. Siebers, who told cops he was assaulted as he walked toward the Blockbuster in Edgewater, had a deep stab wound in one leg and several other minor cuts on his face and stomach. As investigators began hunting for the assailants, they reviewed surveillance video from outside a Target store where Siebers claimed the attack occurred.

The footage, however, showed no such assault. Confronted by cops, Siebers, pictured in the below mug shot, admitted that he had stabbed himself. He told investigators about the skateboarding accident, the resulting ripped pants, and how “he did not want to lose his job so he stabbed himself in the leg,” according to an arrest affidavit sworn by Officer Shawna Naumann. As a result, Siebers was named in a criminal complaint charging him with filing a false report and obstructing police, both misdemeanors.

Good job, Aaron. Due to your quick thinking or lack thereof, you have been bestowed the latest The Republican Temple Homer Simpson Citation.
