Russ Carnahan is divorced from reality and he's an embarrassment to the 3rd district. He's in Politico trying to claim he's been targeted for violence because some folks from the Tea Party held a mock funeral for those who will die under this healthcare bill. Cue the creepy music. They used, get this, a coffin, in the mock funeral! And candles! Oh, the humanity!
Really? Is he that clueless? Note that Politico doesn't point out the coffin was draped with a flag. But there is video. Rush the children out of the room as Bill Hennessy talks about the loss of freedom under healthcare.
If he thinks the coffin is scary, what is he going to say when he finds out there was a carnival game the day before, and in that game, young girls threw shoes at a picture of Carnahan! The horror! You can put an eye out if the laces aren't tied!
There have been some outbreaks of vandalism across the country, but the FBI is handling any of the scary ones. It's no different than the shooting of Bush/Cheney offices in 2004. Sometimes people are stupid. And of course, we should say that acts of violence are an assault on the republic. Threats and intimidation should be roundly condemned against any political opponent.
Meanwhile, in St Louis, a man actually beaten in an act of political violence by Carnahan's political allies still waits for justice while his attackers feast on workmen's comp and have expensive criminal lawyers representing them. Carnahan, despite his shockingly weak claims, is safer than any Tea Party protester at an event with SEIU union members.
