Coward Russ Carnahan Pushes Bogus Tea Party Lie to Media– Claims Prayer Service With Coffin Was a Violent Threat (Updated)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 24, 2010, 10:09 PM
Remember as you read this: There is nothing the democratic-media complex will not do to lie about the tea party patriots or to prop up these horrid leftists who are transforming our country into some kind of quasi-socialist state.
On Sunday night several members of the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition held a prayer vigil at Russ Carnahan’s office for the millions of babies that will be slaughtered under the democrat’s pro-abortion health care bill. We also prayed for the handicapped and the elderly who will be turned away as they face the death panels created by this bill. And, as we stood outside his office in the rain, we prayed for our country and for the democrats in Washington DC who were stealing away our freedom at that very moment.
We brought a coffin with us to represent the millions of Americans who will suffer from inadequate treatment and perish under Obamacare.

Local reporters from KSDK News Channel 5 showed up to interview myself and others after our prayer service.
KSDK put together this report on our peaceful protest:
In St. Louis, people on both sides of the issue gathered to watch the vote. Those in favor of healthcare reform came to celebrate, those opposed came to mourn.
For the Tea Party protesters, it was a somber night. Jim Hoft says, “We’re sad about what’s going on tonight in Washington D.C.”
And so complete with candles and casket, they held a funeral, grieving over the heathcare changes to come.
Hoft says, “We believe they’re taking away our freedom and this represents death to part of what we’ve grown up with.”
And the tears here were very real. Cynthia Rice says, “It’ll change everything for us.”
After our prayer service we took our coffin and went and prayed on the sidewalk outside of Russ Carnahan’s home.
We prayed for Russ Carnahan. We prayed that God would forgive him for taking away our freedom. We prayed for the babies who will never feel the warmth of the sun or a gentle spring rain. We prayed for the elderly who will die waiting for care because they couldn’t make it past the Obama death panels.
We prayed for Russ Carnahan.
So obviously it came as quite a shock tonight to see that the Carnahan people and the Democratic-media complex had twisted this innocent prayer vigil into some kind of threat against Russ Carnahan.
The Politico reported:
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.
“Carnahan appreciates thoughtful feedback received both in favor and opposition of health insurance reform,” Carnahan spokesman Jim Hubbard told POLITICO Wednesday evening “We can disagree on important issues facing our country without resorting to this kind of thing. Russ Carnahan isn’t going to shy away from the importance of reform when 45,000 fellow Americans died last year due to a lack of health insurance.”
Of course, this is a complete lie.
Russ Carnahan is so frightened to meet with his constituents after his very unpopular vote that he is now lying about a prayer service. This is despicable. Russ Carnahan never said anything when his SEIU supporters beat, kicked and stomped on Kenneth Gladney in a parking lot outside one of his events. These were the same supporters he was sneaking into one of his staged town halls. Instead of apologizing for his supporter’s violence, he is making up stories about peaceful tea party protesters at a prayer service.
This won’t stand. There was a time Russ Carnahan and the Politico could get away with this awful lie. Those days are over. We demand that the liberal cranks at Politico and Russ Carnahan retract their dishonest tea party hit piece.
See also… Russ Carnahan fears the reaper.
Dana Loesch has more on this cowardly lie.
UPDATE: The Carnahans told reporters that the coffin was left on their lawn. This is an absolute lie. We had a prayer service and then left. The state-run media didn’t bother to follow up on this outrageous lie before they published their hit piece… Oh, and the protest was on SUNDAY not Wednesday.
UPDATE: The coffin is currently in a garage.

Jim, drudge has the politico hit piece at the top of his site. Might want to email him.
Sandy commented:
The Congressional Democrats made John Boehner call out the Tea Partiers for the e-mails sent to members of Congress. Why was it up to John Boehner to apologize rather than Pelosi and Co.? It would seen that the Democrats, who arrogantly bypassed Republicans and the American people’s concerns need to apologize for the high handed way they pushed this thing through.
Maybe in Washington this is a great thing but out in the hinterland this sucks big time.
Scott commented:
You invited people who read this blog to attend the vigil. It was no secret. That Politico is willing to destroy its credibility is pretty amazing.
It suggests to me the other stories about the racial slurs nobody can find recorded or video evidence of, the alleged threats, etc. are now probably equally fake.
Janet commented:
It is hard to take the MSM outrage seriously. Did they speak up when Condoleezza Rice was being attacked by Code Pink with bloody hands? Did they care when the Rep. convention was interrupted by Code Pink? The vile protest signs about George W. Bush?
GrayRider commented:
Why is it that Democrats are such dirty little weasels?
Just_Saying commented:
According to the Bible, we are called to pray for our leaders. For that, we get creamed. It’s killing me to pray for our leaders, but I am attempting to do so — for that, they lie about us. God sees it all, and will make it right.

Not Intimidated commented:
Here’s what’s funny: Even if the mainstream media succeeds in discrediting the Tea Party (it won’t), people will still be furious at the much higher taxes and crappier health care they’re going to get. They’ll still be furious at the corruption and intrusion of our federal government.
So, they’re still going to toss the Democrats out on their rear ends in November. Nobody in the entire nation is going to base their vote on whether or not Tea Partiers used the n-word or put coffins on the lawns of congressmen.
And besides, a lot of people are having trouble mustering much sympathy for our poor, scared Congressfreaks after what they did to us. They’re destroying our way of life AND EXEMPTING THEMSELVES FROM WHAT THEY’RE IMPOSING ON US.
So, I’m supposed to feel bad about bricks through windows, especially since our leftist friends have a long history of faking crimes against themselves?
Congress should thank its lucky stars that this isn’t Romania in 1989. The Romanians didn’t throw bricks through windows. They overthrew the government and put the dictator and his wife up against the wall.

Worse. They’ve been celebrating their victor. CELEBRATING!
If I’d just done what they’ve done, I’d be scared, too. In fact, I’d be downright paranoid, as I’m guessing some of them are. So, there are going to be twice as many actions and words taken out of context, making the congressional Demonrats appear to be victims or potential victims, because there are now two types: Those of them who are so afraid that they truly will see and read threats where there are none, and those who know better but want to keep the sh!t pot stirred. For the latter, the ultimate goal is to disband the Tea Parties by making assembly of Tea Parties a crime.
Jan Gregory commented:
I can’t stand another person on the right making the statement. “I denounce violence blah blah blah, they go on and on about it. It sounds as thought THEY are on the defensive for actions that were done by ANARCHISTS! Anyone who resorts to violence by throwing bricks or whatever should be called by their right name.. Also don’t forget that the left’s tactics include acting out with violence in the name of the right wingers. Remember during the campaign a Dem office workers car tires were slashed and they found out it was the son of a Dem leader? GOP offices all across the country were trashed also. AND don’t forget that Congressman who said there were racial slurs and spit from the tea partiers? Then the video that followed him the entire way and there was nothing on tape. He walked that way for a purpose. They don’t have to walk by the crowds unless they had to make news. Everyone is taking his word for it cause we all know how Congressmen do not lie….
They lose precise air time when they feel the need to go on and on about civility.. Just say, don’t condemn people who have legitimate concerns about policy and the Constitution with thugs.. end of story… the left knows they will bend over backwards to try to distance themselves from a-holes. and they are losing on that point cause the media just keeps repeating it. They need to get serious and TELL the next interviewer to STOP aligning thugs with honest, hard working, regular Americans. Most of whom probably never made a trip to DC in their lives to protest and now feel obligated to make their voices heard.
Jan Gregory commented:
Hope someone can get the word out to the GOP to cut the crap and ignore the accusations, take charge and turn it around.. Ask the Left to denounce the deceiving media who are reporting lies, twisting the back story to the demonstrations and what is truly in the bill
archer52 commented:
Jim,
Did you notice anyone filming or photographing you and your people outside the normal MSM? Maybe recording what vehicles you get into or drive away in?
As we speak your “act of violence” has more than likely opened a file on you and yours in the DHS. It only takes a complaint of violence or potential “violence” to justify the act.
Some poor schlub and his partner are running down your vehicles, addresses, credit, friends, cellphones, kid’s info, criminal record and probably the same for your neighbors. They can access the new census, if you filled it out, and get a list of who lives in your house or stayed there with names, DOB’s, ages and race. (Saves that troublesome site surveillance. Why do the work if you will provide the info for free!)
DHS already tried to set the table last year with their screwed up list of potential threats that the blogs uncovered-
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=94803
Don’t get angry at the agents, they were told to do it by their bosses, who were told to do it by THEIR bosses, who were told to do it by the political appointees inside DHS.
It will be curious if they have gone as far as to pull your cell records yet. As you know, DOJ doesn’t believe you own them.
http://truthandcommonsense.com/2010/03/22/feds-want-to-know-everything-about-you-now-sooner-the-better-why/
Welcome to the new America. Oh and if they really think you are threat, the fun has just started.
Oh and before you think I’m paranoid, remember, I did this exact thing for a living for a long time. Read the book.
Andreas K. commented:
Russ Carnahan isn’t going to shy away from the importance of reform when 45,000 fellow Americans died last year due to a lack of health insurance.
I want proof for that number. Hard, cold evidence.
Because this sounds exactly like that bogus study done by the University of Heidelberg that claimed that among the group of people between 65 and 85 years of age 53% die from the results of passive smoking. It’s bogus, because the German death statistics (which are kept just like the birth statistics) show that between 65 and 85 years of age 53% of the people die anyway.
Andreas K. commented:
Also this whole situation reminds me of Brussels 2008.
Christians, Atheists, or better said freedom loving people from across Europe came to Brussels in September 2008 to peacefully protest and hold a silent vigil for the victims of 9-11.
The mayor of Brussels (called “Fat Freddy” by the Flemisch people of Belgium because the Flemish people are the ones who feed Belgium and Brussels, and Freddy is getting fat on their tax money), who also happens to be a socialist, banned the event.
The “protestors” came anyway and met at their meeting place.
The area was soon swarmed with riot police, mounted police in riot gear, water cannons and helicopters.
The protest itself was silent and 100% peaceful.
Protestors were then arrested en masse, partly with violence. Members of the EU parliament, who had taken part in the protest (and only a handful took part, most EU parliament members screamed murder at the protest and called the people fascists), were thrown to the ground and handcuffed by riot and civil police.
Everyone taking part in it was arrested.
A woman sporting an Israeli flag was arrested on her way there because she was carrying an Israeli flag.
Why were they arrested?
Because Fat Freddie deemed them to be a danger for his “peaceloving” mohammedan buddies in Brussels.
One could argue that they violated the ban, but they were not told to disperse, they were not approached by police in a civil manner. Police charged them, knocked them down and arrested them without waring, without the usual “de-escalation” (which is ALWAYS used on mohammedans, “anti-fascists” and other violent subjects.)
It’s also interesting that the police units came from outside of Brussels, from the Walloon areas of Belgium.
Just wait. This is the next step in the US.
kay commented:
I read on another blog that these ‘incidents’ will be used to justify the coming martial law that will be ultimately imposed. Sure, there’s two or three steps between now and that, but this blog writer says his father was in Germany and this was how it happened there. People rose up to protest the changes and voila, you’ve got police protection for all the democrats (none of the republicans). Any yelling at the democrats will lead to arrest. A few mock trials to show people – this is what you get if you speak out – and there goes Free Speech. Write about it on a blog and soon to have people bashing in your front door.
*
Also, I like how the reporters at politico and the other 2 sources for the stories about Slaughter’s brick through the window and the other democrat who said that he heard of one of the congressman called the “n” word, say “alleged” or “allegedly”. Nope, when reporting on republican or tea party protesters the presumption of innocence goes out the window. The news media convicts at the moment and never retracts, so don’t hold your breath Jim waiting for Politico to say they’re sorry. They got the story wrong.
Its always OK for democrats to use 1st amendment rights but not ok for republicans.
kay commented:
sorry, – the reporters on these stories NEVER say ‘alleged’ or “allegedly”.
JWF commented:
CBS radio news reported this morning that someone placed a coffin on Carnahan’s lawn. They have no shame.
Pagar commented:
Compare the claim that 45,000 died for lack of insurance to known facts, such as 37,261 died in auto accidents in 2008. We don’t know how many died in 2009 apparently because it takes the government a long time to find out a person is dead. Why? Every Highway Patrol has communication devices, why not communicate the numbers to Washington.
archer52 commented:
To Kay and Andreas K-
I wrote about this period in my political thriller novel REVOLT (www.revoltthebook.com). I wrote the original draft in 1997 and the story takes place around 2015 in the second term of a narcissistic president who has plans to take over the nation.
I asked myself what it would take to create an environment where someone could seize control of the country and the people would let him. How scared, how confused, how compliant, would they have to be? And what would happen to the people who refused to knuckle under.
I was able to predict much of what is happening now. What is coming is the clamp down on the Internet and talk radio (Always, always control the message, Chavez made the same mistake in his country and is correcting it now.)
When I showed the draft manuscript around back then, people laughed saying no way it would happen here. Last year I took the draft down and published it. Seems my friends are laughing anymore. They are kidding me that my fictional political novel is quickly becoming a history text.
Your concerns about using troops or police not from the area where the protesters live is a technique used by many heavy-handed governments. It is hard to get an officer to beat his neighbor in the head with a baton, but a stranger is another thing altogether.
As far as finding justification for martial law? DHS started that process last year but was knee-capped by the Net (again, control the message). People haven’t reached the level where they are willing to accept, without a second glance, that the government can “identify” potential domestic terrorists.
But that can change. Back in the nineties, the Clinton administration tried that very thing twice and got away with it. Thankfully, there were freedom loving Congressmen who turned a light on the whole incident.
Had there been no one to speak out… who knows. In my book, most of the independent voices are muted by fear, or allegiance, or ignorance, or threat…or worse.
Visit the site and read some of the passages posted there if you would like, I think you’ll see some things you recognize.

The Dems would love to prevent the November 2010 elections.
In fact, all this “erroneous” reporting by the media of the protests to ObamaKare is a deliberate setting up, a deliberate preparing the people for martial law.
butterdezillion commented:
Your group needs to sue Carnahan for libel. Seriously. As long as these people can get away with these lies they will keep doing it. One of the smartest moves Scott Brown made during the campaign was to file charges against Coakley’s people when they lied about him. It shut off their entire strategy.
Most of these libelous claims about “Tea Partiers” are vague claims that can’t be proven or pinned down to any specific people, but this can be pinned down to your particular group of people so this provides an opportunity to file libel charges and catch them in the crime they are committing. And it IS a crime. It should be prosecuted. It’s the only thing that will keep either our politicians or the media even half honest.
Roger commented:
We are sad due to we love our country and our freedom. They are having there wine and are happy due to their hate for their own country. It’s not a football game. They are so ignorant; they don’t know what’s coming. They are on the Titanic and don’t know it’s sinking. God save us.
Blago Bloggo commented:
You need to go after the reporter Jake Sherman too. When lying reporters lie about things in such an obvious way, they have made themselves a part of the story and they must be called out, their names publicized, and shunned by the rest of us.
Roger commented:
Liberals are liars. They have no ethics and the government is their God. They want complete control of the people of this great country due to that’s what Marxists want and do. And they have found that if the dumb down the education system, flood it with communist teachers, you will create “Useful Idiots”. They want to stifle speech that they disagree with.
If some Che loving Democrat did this coffin display, the state controlled media would say it was freedom of speech and a work of art. Remember when some coon and Palin hanging from a noose at his house and he said it was art. What a load.
Greg commented:
I think it is time to freely talk about how scared the American public is of the socialist government. In the last 18 months,,,
one half of retirement accounts have been lost,,,reported unemployment is at 10 %,,,,,new housing construction is at historical lows,,,,states are in finacial trouble due to loss of taxes,,,the federal government is borrowing so much that interest rates are going to rise….and border troubles with Mexico are downrite dangerous. Debunking global warming and stock in Remington arms are the only two positive pieces of news. If the polititions are truly scared of the future and not blowing smoke all I can say is welcome to the lifestyle of the rest of america. A life style the politicians have created.

I think Blago is right. The way they present the story is such a distortioin from reality, Politico needs to correct it. I would try to contact the reporter and demand he issue a correction to provide the context.
Try getting Fox interested. O’Reilly’s probably worthless, but Sean Hannity would probably mention it, or maybe Steve Hayes at Weekly Standard would comment on this perverse distortion on Special Report.

Too bad for Russ that Jim made his intentions clear in all of his other blog pieces. Come on, Russ, now you’re just grabbing at straws. It is funny to see the media desperately shill for Obama by taking out the Tea Party (nice try).
Sen. Fuller Bull - D commented:
To paraphrase our liberal friends, when they talk about the Tea Partiers:
Where were you liberals when threats were being made against Republicans?
TEAParty commented:
The prayer session this weekend proved the tea party mantra: ALL government is socialist, and the private sector can do everything that government can, so why even have government?
If only government didn’t exist, then people would be able to live peacefully. All problems are caused by government, not by individuals. The free market can solve all our problems.
Tony commented:
Has it occurred to any in this echo chamber that from inside of the Carrahan’s house it might have looked like the coffin was on the lawn? In picture number 3, I can see a man standing on the lawn. Wonder what your take would have been if a bunch of people had a coffin in front of your house. This is just silly of you.
As for this being a great lie and the big media this and that, baloney. Perfection is God’s. No every imperfection is a plot against. And remember this: Judge not least ye shall be judged.
As for whining about the libs being mean to whomever since when has two wrongs made a right? No excuse.Sorry.
Kevin P commented:
Well – I heard on 97.1 news this morning that the FBI was investigating this. Will we hear the results of the FBI inquiry – and what a nit Russ Carnie-han is? We should all demand to hear the FBI report – they should have to look no further than this posting to find their “evidence”.
Russ – you should not only be voted out of office – you should spent 20 to life in San Quinton for your corruption.
Rightwing Norman Mailer commented:
I think you guys had a legitimate and quite eloquent protest right up until the point you hung out at Carnahan’s home. That’s when you took things from a political level to a personal level aimed straight at Carnahan’s home-life and family. Hey the MSM would’ve twisted the story as much as they could’ve anyway but by doing things this way you only enabled them to do so a lot more smoothly.
Kevin P commented:
OK – everyone -start emailing this link to every member of Congress and demand three things from the Retardican members of Congress and the Senate:
1) ask them to hold a press conference demanding that the Lame Stream Media correct this lie:
2) ask them to ask the Lame Stream Media to stop carrying the water for the Democrats without investigating their bogus claims further.
3) ask them to quit “assuming” this stuff is true when it comes from the dumolcraps or the LSM
I’d call them (dumolcraps) a bunch of bastards but I don’t want to offend bastards.
Kevin P commented:
Oh – and after reading Archer52 #30′s post – ask them to call off their Jack-booted thugs.

You might have a point, Tony. A coward with a guilty conscience, hiding under the bed, wondering what happened to his Acorn and Union strongarms, without Nancy around to tell him what to think, could see almost anything. However, I believe that Russ was in Washington D.C. Sunday night performing his butt kissing duties for Pelosi and Obama.
I doubt that a person who is so vision impaired that he cannot read the bill for which he is voting could see all the way from D.C. to St. Louis. Obviously, he relied on a third person report of the incident. If he is going to report an incident based on hearsay, he should at least get the date of the incident correct.
AtlasMugged commented:
Redneck, I guess it’s okay for tea party strongarm thugs to show up at somebody’s house – or, in the case of a Virginia Congressman, show up and cut the gas line’s at a family member’s house.
The tea party is turning from a political movement to a bunch of pitchfork-toting anarchist thugs who seem to think any and all forms of government are socialist.
And you’re doing this why, so you can elect another elitist trial lawyer like Ed Martin?
If the tea party people keep this up, it’s going to be a landslide election for Carnahan. Although I guess the next step is for the tea party to start threatening voters with reprisals unless they vote for Ed.

Rep. Cantor’s Richmond Campaign Office Shot at Overnight
Republican Rep. Eric Cantor’s Richmond campaign office was shot at Wednesday night, Fox News has learned, the latest in a rash of apparent threats and acts of intimidation against members of Congress.

That’s next. & just like the RCCC did with cutting of the propane line of the Virginia Congressman’s brother, you’ll blame the victims or the Democrats or both.

kindless or should I call you mindless?
Maybe I’ll just call you stupid. Do you have proof that the RCCC did this?
Produce it or shut up!
Perhaps I should forward a copy of your slanderous comment to the RCCC.
You are nothing but a cowardly, lying AssTroll!
Simone commented:
Does Cantor even know what happened?
…
Late late update: The Associated Press is calling this a “possible gunshot” and describes the office as that of a political consultant for Cantor, not his campaign office.
But Cantor’s spokesman, Brad Dayspring, tells TPMDC that it was indeed his campaign office.
Late late late update: From the local paper: “Cantor, in an interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch, said he doesn’t know whether the shot was random or aimed at the building.”
Dan commented:
has anyone actually bothered to come up with a decent explanation for how this bill will lead to more abortions? Because it very clearly won’t….
KB2000 commented:
“Claims Prayer Service With Coffin Was a Violent Threat”
Well, I don’t see any language in the statement from Carnahan’s office indicating that the casket implies violence, just that the casket was inappropriate. If Carnahan is claiming an explicit violent threat, that information does not seem to be contained in your posting.
Ladue Pundit commented:
It’s time for the MSM to go down. People must stop buying the products (or stocks) of the corporations who give money to these liars.
The sponsors are just as bad as the liars, maybe worse. They make all this 3rd hand conjecture possible.
I have dumped all my GE stock, and GE has been told why. If everyone in this country stopped buying whatever these sponsors are selling, AND TOLD THEM WHY, we’d see results.
Let Soros spend his money for lies. Why should we?
Token Liberal commented:
The rhetoric in the comments on this post (and the post itself) seem so entirely divorced from reality that I’m truly baffled about the mindset of those commenting. As a liberal myself, I can admit my own, personal bias, but that removed, I still don’t understand the concerns about such things as baby killing in a bill when the day after the President signed an executive order prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortion?!?!?
It also did not appear to me from the comments made by Rep. Carnahan that he was “lying” about this being a threat against him personally. Unless I missed something he said which was not quoted here, then I think what he did say about the vigil was misinterpreted.
However, in the spirit of the dialogue that makes the American Experiment so great, if anyone “from the other side of the aisle” would like to share your thoughts and help me understand your side a little better, please feel free to e-mail me at token.liberal@yahoo.com. I’ll probably regret the offer, sooner or later, but it’s worth a try to promote civil discussion about important issues in America.
coyote commented:
This sort of behavior seems very anti-christian. Those of you who advocate violence should be ashamed of yourself. You’re doing the devil’s work.
Zuzu commented:
Right, they just decided not to hold the “vigil” in any sort of public place, but at the Congressman’s private residence. Not where he works, not where he actually was, but where his family lives.
No intimidation intended at all. Nosirree.
Smack Down commented:
You guys are ridiculous. You do realize that tens of thousands of americans die every year because they don’t have healthcare?
I will only say this once, so pay attention:
THERE ARE NO DEATH PANELS.
No mention of them anywhere. Ever. EVER. Nowhere except in the fantasy worlds of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. They are not present in any other contry that has health care. They would not be tolerated for an instant. Medicare (WHICH IS ALSO GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE) does not have them either.
Read the bill before you protest. Understand what you are fighting. Watching people protest in the street against something that doesn’t exist is ridiculous. It’s like watching people try to protest against the arrival of santa clause.
And to the religious groups who fight this: Have you read the bible? Can you tell me which part says it’s bad to help people in need? Don’t pray for the Senators. Pray for Yourselves. Pray that you can find the wisdom to fully understand this issue.
Bill commented:
Why should the politicians represent a small minority of people instead of the majority?
The teaparty movement has only 13% of Americans, and yet you think that everyone should do what you want.
Please Please tell me how this health care reform tramples and takes away your freedom.
do you even have a answer for that?
Probably not
Chisum commented:
Bill,
IBD listed 20 ways that this bill inhibits our freedom. Jim posted it yesterday.
You need to keep up.
In case you haven’t noticed the MAJORITY of AMERICANS are, and have been, against this bill.

2 + 2 = 4
E = mc2
Liberal = Liar
Bill commented:
49% agree and like this bill
40% are against it
seems like 49 is greater then 40
so like i said majority of Americans like this
pm commented:
While BO takes to the trail today to sell a bill (of goods) that’s already been passed — he sends his trolls out to counter the outrage and the ugly facts that he knew would emerge.
With more lies.
You guys are so transparent. We knew you’d come around again.

Dude, if Americans were wetting their pants in glee over this thing, BO wouldn’t be on the trail. You think that’s where he wants to be — dealing with the plebians?
He’d much rather be at home shooting baskets or nibbling on wagyu beef. No, he knows he’s in trouble. Not to mention every Dem.
pm commented:
By the way, where’s Michelle? Working out, maybe, with that trainer that costs us some $120K/year?
She’s gotta be stressing.
pm commented:
That’s our Barry – making history at every turn.
This time, it’s trying to sell a bill he’s already signed!!
Gotta be a first.
Tania Gail commented:
45,000 fellow Americans died last year due to a lack of health insurance.”
A lie within a lie. I want the 45,000 death certificates that clearly state cause of death due to lack of health insurance.
Rolfe commented:
You folks seem kinda scary. What a creepy thing to do at a family’s home.
And then to bray about it. Very odd…
Bobfell commented:
You people are idiots…
On the lawn, on the sidewalk, who cares!! You were at his private residence. He is a public official, he has a public office, address and phone number for correspondence. Leave his home his family and his private life out of it.
And as to your reaction to the bill, lets see…
the party of peace and sharing is in a slight minority when an illicit war is crammed down our throats (against popular opinion) so we have massive peaceful protests… no one listens.
The party of war and greed is in a minority when we have a revolutionary health-care bill passed (with a majority of the polled populous for it) and they respond with weak little protests inflated by their propaganda machine and then resort to violence… and you expect them to capitulate?
go figure!!

Why is the Tea Party a 501(c) organization? Seems hypocritical.
