L.A. County Libertarian Examiner After being exposed on youtube for his maniacal and violent criminal behavior of assaulting a schoolboy, North Carolina Congressman Bob Etheridge appeared teary eyed on CNN, choking up as he apologized for his behavior. He later issued a brief statement on his Congressional website as well, stating
I have seen the video posted on several blogs. 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.
Etheridge is an active freemason, and it is interesting to note that in the few days since this assault was publicized worldwide, a wikipedia link acknowledging Etherideg's involvement in masonry has been completely scrapped; although a simple internet search will reveal thousands of pages have already cached the information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Etheridge "Bob Etheridge is a member of the New Democrat Coalition. He is active in Freemasonry and is currently the Grand Orator for North Carolina Freemasonry."
.....Etheridge was featured and pictured on page 3 of the the November/ December 2000 'North Carolina Mason' publication, in a section titled 'Rep. Etheridge Visits Home'. The paper stated, in part, "Bob Etheridge, 2nd District representative to the US Congress and member of Lillington 302 visited the Home in the fall. He toured the School of Graphic Arts, the infirmary, the baby cottage, and ended his visit with a reception in the chapel.." In a touch of irony, freemason Etheridge is pictured in the photo dressed in a suit standing next to two young schoolboys. [article continues here
