Liberal Heartache: Demo Rep. Russ Carnahan's district may be eliminated by redistricting

So long Russ. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

Ozarks First- A map submitted for consideration of the House Redistricting Committee by its chair, Rep. John Diehl, R-Town and Country, shows the congressional district currently represented by Congressman Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis, absorbed by the three congressional districts that currently border it…

…The map also shifts northwest Missouri congressman Sam Graves’ district to include almost every county north of the Missouri River from the western border of the state to the eastern border.

Another significant shift appears to have been made in mid-Missouri where the city of Columbia and Boone County, traditional Democratic strongholds, have been shifted out of the district represented by current Ninth District Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer and placed into the district of freshman U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Harrisonville.

The crowd laughs at him.

Video: Demo Congressman Russ Carnahan Runs Away From Ground Zero Mosque Question

St. Louis blogger, Sharp Elbows, videotaped an effort to get Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on record about his position on the Ground Zero mosque during a Town hall meeting with veterans in his home district. Carnanhan repeatedly ignores his constituent and finally leaves the building and heads for parking lot and his vehicle at a fast pace. I think from Caranahan's non-answer, we might safely assume he joins President Obama in supporting the Ground Zero mosque construction.

The Strange Media Silence Over Russ Carnahan Office Firebombing

On August 17, at about 2:00 AM, Democratic Senator Russ Carnahan's office was firebombed; causing minor damage. A suspect was arrested and released. Other than a report here by St. Louis Today, there wasn't much in the way of national news coverage. It is very strange for the national media to ignore a story this juicy in an election year. We can never forget the feeding frenzy by the liberal media when Russ Carnahan's staff falsely claimed a coffin was left on his front lawn by Tea Party protesters. Why didn't the mainstream media track down the culprit and hang a Tea Party sign around his neck? The instant loss of interest by the liberal mainstream media can be attributed to one thing. The alleged criminal is one of their own. The man police arrested, suspect Chris Powers, was a Carnahan campaign worker with a beef about his pay.

He can be seen harassing Tea Party protesters in this 2009 video. He is the one who identifies himself as a Carnahan staffer.



According to Dana Loesch, he is also a left-wing blogger who identifies himself as a former journalist

He’s said to also blog anonymously at Talking Points Memo and described himself as a former journalist. Sources say that Powers has allegedly denied the charges and that the FBI were/are involved. I really hope, for Powers’ sake, that it really is as a listener suggested: just a case of a Carnahan staffer having a bong mishap.

Better luck next time liberal mainstream media.
