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.

Beck was saying that the Rats will do stuff like this to themselves and then try to blame it on the “Tea Baggers”. This thread is the funniest one I have read in a long time.

Did they bother to check to see if a mortuary lost a delivery?

O M G! These people are certifiable. He can’t, in anyones reality, interpret that as anything but exactly what it was. Talk about hype and feigned hysteria.

Yes...and then they tried to burn down her church.

Americans doing something out in the open...

That’s an example of the transparency that should have been done by Obama, Pelosi, et al.

Power to the freeple! Oh, this is sweet! You’ll never keep the left honest since they intrinsically are not honest, but you sure reveal the criminal recreance of ethics and objectivity in the government/media complex. Good work!

Ofcourse this is already on Drudge. I sent him the video link so he can show the truth. Probably wouldn’t hurt for others to do it as well as post the truth at Politico. We cannot let them paint us into this corner with lies.

How about a severed horse’s head?

Russ Carnahan has a Forest Gump level of intelligence.

Did you see the video? They were standing right on a busy street with cars going by and they were carrying little candle holders and the coffin was covered with a flag. Sheesh, how could ANYONE construe that as a threat?

“A big pink slip sign saying you’re fired?”

I like that

"A mock funeral? That's what this is all about? The local news in Detroit made it sound like it was a direct threat to Carnahan and it was left on his lawn!"

Wait are you telling me someone in the Lame Stream Media Slanted the news?

[Outlaw Woman]

I love Scripture...and in particular, Proverbs. So fitting.

[Lera]

Of course it does since you can be sure that they did it themselves.

Bingo

How about a severed donkey’s head.

With apologies to real four-footed donkeys everywhere.

I'm a big fan of the late great Nigerian musician and political activist Fela Kuti.

He hated the corrupt government of Nigeria and at one point he walled off his compound and declared it a separate republic called Kalakuta Republic. In response, 1000 Nigerian soldiers stormed the compound, burned it down, beat the residents and threw Fela's mother out a second story window. She died within a month.

After her funeral, he delivered her coffin to the army barrack home of the General Obasanjo, the dictator in charge and later wrote the song "Coffin for Head of State" about the incident.

It was just one of his many, often violent, clashes with the corrupt government he lived under.

I doubt this incident had any symbolic connection to that, but it's still a cool story.
