Yeah, because we all know how peaceful and innocent the Left is, and how violent the Right is. /s
One suspect in Carnahan office attack not a Tea Party activist after all
Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-MO) confirmed in a press conference yesterday that the suspect in an alleged arson at Carnahans campaign office is a former paid campaign worker named Chris Powers.
Powers has not been charged in the arson case. In a phone interview this morning with TPMmuckraker, Powers denied having any involvement with what local reports have described as a fire bombing.
Im innocent, Powers said. I was at home when Congressman Carnahans office was fired on. I have nothing to do with it.
As several blogs have reported, Powers wrote a reader blog at TPMCafe under the name Ripper McCord. (Any TPM reader can create a blog and comment on the site, and Powers is not affiliated with TPM.)
