    NC Democratic party Executive Director Jay Parmley resigns, blames right-wing bloggers…

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  April 16th at 08:30 AM  | 

    To refresh people’s memories: allegations came out last week that NC Democratic party Executive Director Jay Parmley had sexually harassed a male staffer (the Daily Caller noted yesterday that local reports are saying that said staffer was also allegedly fired after making a complaint; if that’s true, then there’s a bigggggggggg problem going on in North Carolina right now for the Democratic party*). Anyway, Parmley | Read More »

    Oh, did we steal his thunder?  Did he want to admit to his loss on his own terms? Yeah, I’m really broke up about that. Congratulations, Rep.-elect Renee Elmers.  Serve well. Moe Lane (crosspost) PS: Remember, folks: two cameras.  Always have two cameras.

    Democrat Bob Etheridge Still Can’t Answer Simple Questions

    By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 25th at 02:00 PM  | 

    Democrat Bob Etheridge [NC-2] seems to have a problem with questions. He just cannot find it in himself to answer them. When students asked him last year if he supported the Obama Agenda, Bob Etheridge assaulted them. During a recent debate, Republican Renee Ellmers challenged the Obama Agenda-loving Etheridge* and asked how he believed the federal government could handle one-sixth of the economy better than | Read More »

    For The People, By The People: Renee Ellmers (NC-2)

    By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  July 20th at 06:00 PM  | 

    Yesterday morning, I had the chance to speak with Renee Ellmers, who is running for Congress against Bob Etheridge (D-NC), he of man-handling those who dare to question him fame. Or, rather, infamy.  Etheridge is a clear-cut example of the arrogance of those firmly entrenched in Washington, DC, which is what prompted Renee Ellmers to run in the first place. As a nurse, whose husband | Read More »

    To Democrats, Words Are More Dangerous Than Physical Violence

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  June 15th at 02:49 PM  | 

    The Democrats are crying foul over a college student videotaping Congressman Etheridge’s assault. You see, it was a right-wing ambush and Bob Etheridge was justified in assaulting the college student. Caught on tape, Etheridge pulled the student’s hand toward him and the student asked to be released. Etheridge refused. This all happened after the student asked Etheridge if the Congressman supported the Obama agenda. Contrast | Read More »

    Day Two of the Etheridge Incident.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 15th at 10:00 AM  | 

    I’m not particularly surprised that the Etheridge Incident is perturbing the Beltway. It has all the elements that one needs: A genuine, newsworthy scenario (Congressman attacks cameraman); An easily-accessible narrative (Congressman attacks cameraman); A clear video record (note: two cameras, with footage spliced together); A hint of scandal (Was the Congressman drinking?); And a hint of conspiracy (Was the Congressman set up?). Plus, of course, | Read More »

    Bob Etheridge (D, NC-02) attacks student.

    This is why you need to have two cameras. The first one, to record being assaulted by a sitting Congressman (Bob Etheridge, D, NC-02): …and a second one, to record the person recording being assaulted by a sitting Congressman (Bob Etheridge, D, NC-02):
