The "coffin" that frightens Carnahan.
Note: He should be frightened, not of the "Tea Party" or human beings, but of his Creator.

By the way: I would call Russ Carnahan 'inbred,' but that's an insult to endogamists.
Let us start by watching what happened SUNDAY. This is via Gateway Pundit - who, by the way, was there and who was a spokesman:
Got it? Low-key prayer vigil, coffin brought in for staged funeral of Constitution, old people crying, coffin then removed. Now let’s see how Politico referenced it:
A coffin was placed on a Missouri Democrat’s lawn, another in a string of incidents against lawmakers after their vote Sunday on a health care overhaul.
Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) had a coffin placed “near his home,” a spokesman said Wednesday evening.
The coffin was from a prayer vigil.
…and then they went on to equate this with (alleged) incidents or threats of physical violence. Without bothering to check, of course.
Guys? Unquestionably and uncritically reprinting Democratic party press releases like this is not going to be a viable business model, come January 2011. Russ Carnahan and his people can’t help themselves - in more ways than one - but you over at the Politico can.

PS: I’ll feel obligated to disavow acts of political violence when credible evidence appears that an organization that I belong to organized, initiated, or willfully incited one. Until then, I recommend that people wanting me to do that just save their screeds to their hard drive, preferably in a subfolder of the folder that they have for all those drawings of Sarah Palin being beaten.
How many anti-war protests brought out the coffins?

I’m getting the idea that the Dems are orchestrating a faux violence campaign.
The imposition of tyranny has consequences.
The MSM is the house organ of the Democratic Party. What they gin up and say should no longer matter to us. They will never report the truth, so why contemplate how to sell them any message?

Lots. But, it's not the coffin that is troubling for me, it's the location. People should have the right to assemble and to demonstrate while on public property. If they dumped in on his law, then I have a problem with that.
People's homes - left or right - should be off limits. I didn't like it when the union thugs in NYC organized bus tours to and protest at, the homes of bank executives. If this actually happened where and how the media reports have described, I find it equally repugnant.
Who is this damn Politico and why should we care? They just showed up on the scene a couple of years back, and everything they spout is garbage!!
A peaceful prayer vigil should be treated as a big crime but someone getting the crap beat out of him by SEIU thugs at a town hall rally should be totally ignored?
I'll have to reread my post, but I don't believe I said. What I said was people should leave the private property of other people alone. Dumping a coffin on a man's front yard isn't a protest, it's trespassing.
"Prayer vigils" in front of a man's home is just as thuggish as the leftist moonbats who sit all day long at the end of John Yoo's driveway fort the last 4 years.
Yep, they are a mainly Left Wing Agenda website run by Democrats. Since we know Democrats lie, they cannot be trusted.
Here is the reporter, Jake Sherman, that wrote the phony story:

Looks like a kid just out of college. Not that that excuses his fundamental lack of integrity and honesty.
They did not dump a coffin. They did not leave it there after they left either.
I wonder what Kenneth Gladney thinks of this “violence”??
Someone who is registed there should post the video of of the mouring in America that is postd here:

FOX played a phone call of a cal to a Repub office..it was filthy leftie racist threats.
Will the msm media play that NOOOOOOOOO
They are, and they are failing miserably. Actually, they are handing us the most potent weapon possible in this war. We have all these videos and we have them screaming they're being threatened, and the whole world can see the reality for themselves.
Politico is a Democratic rag. I’ll change my opinion when Politico proves otherwise.
Absolutely correct. Democratic politicians are intentionally manipulating events to make their opposition look like violent, racist people. All done intentionally and by calculation.
It’s not faux. They’re getting ready to ratchet things up. Rep. Cleveland may have jumped the gun a little bit with his spitting allegations, but Fur Shur there’ll be some sort of gang that beats up some senior citizens out watching a demonstration somewhere ~ and maybe they’ll kill (rather than just eat) someone this time.
