This is interesting….
So, who were the young men hassled by Bob Etheridge?

Robert Stacy McCain talks to a conservative operative who explains who or what kind of activists the “students” might be.

The operative, who has been responsible for numerous undercover (“black ops”) political projects, compared the two students to a military “hunter-killer team” — the tandem of a sniper and a spotter. The operative did not want to disclose the tactics and strategy of such projects, but said that we can expect to see more video confrontations during what Mike Flynn of BigGovernment.com predicts will be a “long hot summer.” … It is unlikely that the students involved in the Etheridge incident will claim responsibility, my conservative operative source suggests, because doing so would expose them to reprisals by staffers for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

At first I thought the kids were just being stupid, got too excited and pushed their cameras too close to the congressman’s face. Maybe it was a premeditated move. They push their cameras inches from his face knowing that it’s human instinct to swat it away. Then they have the second camera there to record the swat and the politician looks like a douche.
If this is the case, I’ve got hand it to them, it’s a fairly clever trick and will probably work most of the time.
