Six people, including P-D reporter, arrested at Carnahan meeting
By Leah Thorsen
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
08/06/2009

UPDATE: St. Louis County police say six people were arrested. Two of those were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started.

Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don't tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.

I see shades of Fascism. I notice that a Black conservative was the target. Black conservatives are called various racial slurs and are not "Black enough". Same goes with any non-White conservative, which I am one of them.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

We go from having loud boisterous crowds to having violent mobs and arrests, but only after the Dimrats start pushing for counter protesters to show up.  :popcorn:

I'm surprised that Kit Bond isn't holding a TM, and equally surprised that Blaine Luetkemeyer. Both are Repubs, Senator and my Rep., respectively.

The liberal moonbat, slack-jawed, drooling, Lord Zero Worshiper Senator Claire McCaskill, however, is holding two TMs next Monday. Of course, they're held at 9 a.m. and at 2:30 p.m., where most real Americans are at work paying her  :censored: salary.

Is it just me or does "arrested for resisting arrest" just sound like a completely made up charge?  If the person didn't resist, then what would they have arrested him for?

BREAKING: Carnahan staffer admits to causing trouble?
2009 August 7
by DanaLoesch

This woman was actually trying to start fights with people in line, waiting to get into the auditorium at the Rep. Russ Carnahan townhall forum on aging.

While Carnahan gave a press conference today blaming tea party people for the “mob-like” activity, it was actually his own, admitted staffers who were the cause of the rabble-rousing:

Kenneth was approached by an SEIU representative as Kenneth was handing out “Don’t Tread on Me” flags to other conservatives. The SEIU representative demanded to know why a black man was handing out these flags. The SEIU member used a racial slur against Kenneth, then punched him in the face. Kenneth fell to the ground. Another SEIU member yelled racial epithets at Kenneth as he kicked him in the head and back. Kenneth was also brutally attacked by one other male SEIU member and an unidentified woman. The three men were clearly SEIU members, as they were wearing T-shirts with the SEIU logo.

We are calling on the SEIU, Representative Carnahan, and President Obama to condemn the racist actions of these union thugs. In the days to come, we will be investigating whether these thugs are working at the behest of Representative Carnahan and how strong their alliances to various organizations–such as ACORN–may be.

The original article is as vauge as it possibly could be.  Six people?  Given the tone of the reporting about the protests, I would think it was done deliberately.  "Oh, it must have been those awful protestors." :whatever:

The excerpt is a letter from Mr. Gladney's attorney to Carnahan's office.

Baird fears foes may plan ‘ambush’
‘Telephone town hall’ will replace meeting
Quote
Instead of appearing in person, where "extremists" would have "the chance to shout and make YouTube videos," Baird said Wednesday, he's holding what he calls "telephone town halls" instead.

Baird said he's using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning "an ambush" to disrupt his meetings, using methods Baird compared to Nazism.

"What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics," Baird, D-Vancouver, said in a phone interview. "I mean that very seriously."
Here's how it'll work: if you happen to be sitting near a publicly listed Clark County telephone line on the right day at the right time, your phone will ring.

In order to avoid software problems, Baird's office says, the exact date and time will be kept secret from the public.

If you answer your landline, an automated message will ask whether you have a question for your Congressman.

Press *3, and you'll be asked your location and the subject of your question. Sitting at his own telephone at an as-yet-undisclosed location, Baird then will choose a name based on its location and the topic.

Blaine is holding his via conference call.......if you call one of his offices, they will add your number to the list......these are not prerecorded, and he will actually take questions, however, my recommendation is to press *3 as soon as you come on line, which indicates that you wish to ask a question.......otherwise, he might not get to you.   They are all very straightforward, and generally some of the questions are entertaining.......We don't live in his district (we live in Sam Graves district) , but our farm is located there, so I called and asked, and they said they would be glad to include me........they are doing several of these per week.

Bond is a lost cause, since he is not running again, and since he just announced that he was voting FOR the messiah's new SCOTUS appointment, he figures that he might get tarred and feathered.......I'm very disappointed in Kit.....
