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 lets see how Politico referenced it:
A coffin was placed on a Missouri Democrats 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 cant help themselves - in more ways than one - but you over at the Politico can.

PS: Ill 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.
Ok I know everybody makes typos but I could not resist this...
Well they have tried everything to incite US into their snare, so what is next except to let some blood... That is who they are and they really NEED something to make sure they don't have to deal with the next election. They are going for broke.
I do NOT intend to take their bait. There is NO way I can entertain getting into a 'blood' letting with my own family and friends who are deceived by this bunch of devils.
I’ve come up with my pat response to all liberals: “If I want to hear what you’ve got to say I’ll just turn on msnbc or cnn.”
“Politico” is 100% left wing. It fact checks NOTHING which would get in the way of a good pro left, anti right story.
Who’s going to run the video? Fox? Okay. Who else?
I’m telling you the liberals I talk to believe everything msnbc and cnn tells them. And in their damaged brains the’re convinced Fox tells nothing but lies.
Excellent advice.
Sad to know we have people this stupid who come from the same gene pool as us, huh.
I believe that Politico was organized and funded by the Washington Post. Whenever your see Politico as a source, just thing extreme leftist WaPo.
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...
Well that's not the case.
True enough it is sad, however, some people never leave the get 'my way' mentality discovered at two years old. And I am NOT going to let these marxist thugs use them or me to satisfy their lust for a blood letting.
So they weren't in front of the guy's home holding a "prayer vigil"?
Coffin or no coffin, prayer vigil or no prayer vigil, you shouldn't be "protesting" in front of people's home.
I didn't like it when Codepink did it to Karl Rove and John Yoo, and I don't like it now. These are government officials or elected representatives. People should be protesting in front of their offices. Not their houses.
The media can't stop these things. They can not report them, but they just look worse when the word gets out.
People have learned they can't count on the media for news anymore, we have to take it into our own hands. Crude? Yes, but it will become more and more effect as things go along.
Now, a bunch of ordinary, disintersted Americans have decided they'd better get interested.
I know where you’re coming from. But the liberal base, about 40% of this country, are robots. Their brains don’t work full time. You can show them facts and they’ll buy it until another piece of B.S. comes their way then their brains go right back to mush.
And I don’t care how much you prove they’re wrong come election day they will vote for the communist, socialist, facist, muslim, etc. if he’s a democrat.
I’ve had a relative agree with me a thousand times then turn right around and start cursing republicans. He said he was glad Bush and Cheney were gone so now there were no more secrets or lies. I asked him how he could know about the lies if they were all secret. He said they came out later. I asked him to tell me about them and I get that “dumb look” they’ve perfected.
He says Beck needs to get his facts straight. I ask him what has Beck said that’s incorrect. I get no response. But within a day or two “Beck needs to get his facts straight”. Had another relative who said “If Glenn Beck believed everything he said it would be scary.” I asked him what had Beck said that wasn’t true and, you got it: Dumb look.
These people’s brains are cooked. You can’t reason with them and they’ll be that way until the end of times because they keep having kids. They’re all for abortion but they won’t take advantage of it. If we could get them to get abortions we’d be rid of them in only one generation. I think it would be worth it to look the other way.
Rant finished.
They didn't dump it on his lawn...and it's currently sitting in the garage of an activist.
Two points...I suppose there's some room to criticize what was done, but that criticism, as any, should be based upon actual facts.
Second, there's a world of difference between conducting protest/bus tours of private citizens, and protests outside the homes of ELECTED OFFICIALS.
That's the difference between a job...for which one is hired...and an office, to which one is elected.
It becomes necessary to do so in order to be heard, when these so-called statesmen have the b@lls to "Destroy health care in order to save it," but nonetheless hide under their desks when called on it.
This is occuring in the context of a media/RAT campaign to color Teapartiers as violence prone, bible/gun clinging yahoos. It's coming in the context of outright lying by Carnahan.
The RATs/media are attempting to pull a three-card Monty on the public, and you swallowed it whole. Of all the different aspects of this story to notice/prioritize/comment on, why did you choose the most insipid/inane one?
Spare me. What part of, "They shouldn't be at his home", don't you get?"
You want to protest a government official, fine. But, don't do it at the place where his children sleep.
You have obviously confused "I don't agree" with "I don't understand."
Run for office, hide under your desk, lie to and about your constituents, expect to see protests...at your home, if that's the only place you can be found.
