A man taken into custody Tuesday in connection with a firebombing at the campaign office of U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan has been released. Police said Wednesday that the suspect, 50, whose name was not made public, was let go after the prosecutor's office took the case "under advisement" for possible charges later. Police can only hold a suspect for up to 24 hours without formal charges. The fire at Carnahan's campaign headquarters on Chippewa Street began about 2:20 a.m. Tuesday. A flaming projectile was apparently thrown through a back window, causing minor damage — mostly charred paperwork — in a room the campaign uses for its finance operation.

2. I didn't hear a word about this.
   
Jeez, when Cantor's unmarked, vacant, sometimes satellite office got hit by a bullet from the sky, we heard about it for weeks.

4. You're right about the divide between stories about Rs & Ds
   
The corporate media don't even try to hide their bias any longer. They don't even make an attempt to keep the charade going.
I fly this flag in solidarity Justice denied for one is justice denied for all

As fate would have it the vandal-arsonist was a leftist blogger and former Carnahan employee.

So if the media was conspiring to keep THAT fact suppressed that would imply they are biased to the left, correct?

I'd bet my next paycheck that this nimrod went straight home from the police station to watch Clown Blecch on FAUX.

We'll be around to collect in the morning.

5. Always a distinct possibility.

Or maybe not.

And that is about the biggest thread I could find discussing the issue when I google-searched DU with the words "Carnahan office".

With this right on the heels of the cabbie-stabbing over the GZVM also being perpetrated by a lefty I think DU has become a bit gun shy to assign blame especially after the Joe Stack incident and the vandalism of the democrat campaign HQ in Denver. In fact, they're pretty much batting .000 with only the hardest of the hardcore ideologues daring to advance reflex theories of culpability.

Hey, lurking DUmors, how 'bout this?

Gunshot Shatters Glass Door Of GOP Office

Salisbury Police: MDGOP Office Vandalized
POSTED: 8:18 pm EDT August 25, 2010
UPDATED: 8:41 pm EDT August 25, 2010

SALISBURY, Md. -- A gunshot shattered a glass door Wednesday at a Salisbury office of the Maryland Republican Party, according to a party statement.

The party published the statement on its website, indicating that a single gunshot shattered the front door at the office early in the morning.

Since the actual item is only five graphs long, the above is all I'm going to post.  The rest is here:

It's coming, conservatives.  Keep you powder dry.

And, back to the lurking DUmors--how come this always happens to the Right, but never to the Left?  Could it be that the Left perpetuates all of these incidents?

Powers is a former journalist and resident of St. Louis who volunteered and worked for Carnahan this summer before having a "parting of ways" with the campaign.

Powers is the sweaty guy on the right.

Carnahan responds to claims staffer played role in firebombing 
 (KMOV)-- Congressman Russ Carnahan is speaking out about the firebombing of his office. The congressman was responding not to police reports, but to a St. Louis area blogger who claims one of Carnahan's campaign staffer's played a role in the firebombing.

Last week someone threw an explosive device through the window at Russ Carnahan's campaign office on Chippewa. A man was questioned, but not charged.

St. Louis police and federal authorities are investigating, but there's no word on whether or not they're close to an arrest. No one was injured, but there was some damage done to the interior of one office.

Last week, local blogger Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit, claimed on his website that the man questioned in the case was a disgruntled former campaign worker for Russ Carnahan. Hoft said there were insinuations that conservative activists might have been involved and he blasted the congressman for not admitting it might be one of his own workers.

On Wednesday Carnahan did speak up, but didn't identify the former staffer. The congressman was careful not to suggest that his former staffer is the one who was questioned.

Carnahan did say he wants whoever is responsible to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

On Wednesday afternoon, Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder has used his personal twitter account to forward links to political blogs about this story. We want to know what you think about this. Is it appropriate? post your comment below.

Not a single reply.

Looks like Carnahan has fessed up!

Well, I bet the crickets are all you'll hear of that news on DU!  Truth is a bannable offense, after all.

I just searched the big forums at the DUmp.  There is only one current thread about Carnahan, and it has nothing to do with his disgruntled firebomber:

I think that'd be Robin Carnahan, not Russ.

I know, that was the only result that came up (last name).

[AllosaursRus]

Word is he's not goin' to press charges and will likely pay the guy what he owes him to keep it quiet.

Not a fact, just supposition on the blogs coverin' what's left of the story. Curious it got lost in the MSM, ain't it? Another story down the memory hole when they can't blame it on us!

No apology for jumpin' the gun and blamin' Tea Partiers either! Slugs!

Suck that, lurkin' Dummies!
