Congressman Russ Carnahan held a press conference today to address allegations that the suspect of last week's firebombing of his campaign headquarters worked for his re-election campaign. Carnahan did not say the man's name but did confirm that the name Chris Powers made public this morning on a right-wing blog once worked for his campaign. According to Carnahan, Powers volunteered for his campaign in July and was hired this month as a political canvasser -- a job he kept for five days before being let go for "failing to do his job."

Democrat Russ Carnahan On The Ground Zero Mosque...Or Not.
Wanna know where Russ stands on the Ground Zero Victory Mosque? Me too, it’s a shame he refuses to answer.

so annoying....there are so many congresscritters that I forget who is who. Strange how press always identifies REPUBLICANs, and right wing blogger is mentioned. Had to look up fact that Carnahan is a DEMOCRAT!

How many times have we seen this sort of story in the last several years? A couple of times, it has been minority employees/students at universities having racist stuff written on their doors, with lots of blame being cast on evil racist conservatives, only later finding by surveillance cameras that the hurt was self-inflicted for attention.

We need to dig up a list of similar stories.
