Title: Democratic campaign office vandalized by Tea Party nuts
Post by: Perd Hapley on September 05, 2010, 11:36:39 PM

Oh, wait a minute.  It was actually a "progressive activist" on the Dem. candidate's staff.

I'm sorry my source is a partisan blog.  But since I Googled "russ carnahan chris powers" and couldn't find any establishment press stories in the first five pages of results...

The whole situation is so very predictable.

If it was a Tea Party member, it would make the news.  Actually, it would be the sole news until the elections.

That's two.  (First one was the Al Gore Inspired, Discovery Channel Hostage Taking Whackjob.)

What's the old adage?  Oh, I remember now:

Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, and third time is enemy action......

This thing happened before the Discovery Channel incident.  Don't forget to count the health-care protester beaten by Union thugs last year.

No, Kenneth Gladney.  If you Google him, you might get some misleading information about him being black.  Obviously, he is not black.  As we know, only white racists oppose health care.  Also, Democrats would never do harm to a black person.

I first read that as "If I was a Tea Party member" Which made me wonder what kind of doomsday devices you'd be creating to get the media's attention.
