Progressive Activist, and Disgruntled Employee, Firebombed Democrat Rep. Carnahan’s Office
by Jim HoftLast Tuesday August 17, 2010, Rep. Russ Carnahan’s office was reportedly vandalized and “firebombed” at 2 AM in the morning. Hours later police arrested a suspect for the crime and held him for several hours.
Of course, when the “firebombing” was reported local leftists blamed the tea party activists.
Then things got really weird. The police released the suspect and the Carnahan camp went silent. Carnahan employees were seen dumping documents into a dumpster but refused to to talk to reporters. There was a complete blackout on information.

Now we know why.
The suspect was reportedly a disgruntled progressive activist employed by Russ Carnahan. An unnamed source familiar with the case released the information. Suspect Chris Powers reportedly was upset because he did not get paid so he firebombed the Carnahan finance offices at 2 in the morning.
What a complete shock.
Dem operative and firebomber Chris Powers is the sweaty one pictured here on right during a rally for nationalized health care. Powers is was a paid canvasser for Russ Carnahan.
Powers is a man on the edge, who has suffered a lot of personal trauma in the recent past. Powers, a radical leftist, is accused of a pretty serious crime in what could only be considered a desperate cry for help.
The Carnahan campaign and their supporters have either ignored the incident rather than recognize the serious nature of a federal crime, instead allow the incident to be reported and used as an example of right wing domestic terrorism.
Those who accused the St Louis Tea Party of such horrible actions should be ashamed, but more important, they should be called on the carpet for their behavior. They need to apologize!
Newspapers attempted to tie the firebombing to last fall’s attacks by healthcare bill supporters and SEIU activists on Kenneth Gladney. They need to think hard before linking a clearly non-violent movement with the sad actions of broken man.
Chris Powers was in the local news when Barack Obama came to town in March to push his unpopular nationalized health care plan. He spoke with the local public radio channel and led an astroturfed protest outside of the Obama-McCaskill fundraiser.
He has been active in the progressive movement for years.

We need more disgruntled progressive activist to show there loving nature to their Democratic party puppet masters. Come on boys and girls of the marxist movement, let them dems have it.
Progressivism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.
I guess this is what happens when you prey on the weak and mentally unstable to push your radical agenda! Of course they don't have much of a choice, those are the type of people who generally fall for their politics of division.
Having been a cop for many years, I can assure everyone here that arson suspects NEVER, EVER just get released. This is appalling. Where the hell is justice?
Typical of the irrational and violent Left. When are democrats going to condemn the terrorist behaving leftwing cretins on their side?
New Black Panthers, PETA, Ground Zero mosque developers, SEIU, NEA, La Raza, etc. all the filth is found on the Left.
"Dem operative and firebomber Chris Powers is the sweaty one pictured here on right during a rally for nationalized health care. Powers is was a paid canvasser for Russ Carnahan"
That guy sure is sweating like a nervous pig.
I love your logo.
Shocker, Obama and the U.N! Who saw that coming? This is the systematic sabotage of U.S! Bring on the legal action before it's too late.
Justice?
We don't need no steenking justice………….
Thank you for the link.
Isn't that amazing?!
I would never advocate criminal behavior, but ………..hehehehehehehehehe!
Dear Federal Government:
I read a story re Morgan Stanley predicting government default on our savings bonds in the future. They seem to be certain of this reality. Bearing this in mind why are we spending millions on everything from fornicating frogs to inebriated freshman? While I have no experience with the frogs, I can fill you in on the fornicating thing; would you like pictures? Why are we spending gazillions on maintaining a federal bureaucracy whose only product is bullshit neatly recorded on reams of dead trees that could be used for a much more productive purpose? Why are we absolutely wasting our precious time with this thing call liberty, a rare and precious gift, that the vast majority of this Earth does not and will never have?
In 70 Days I'm am so voting Republican!!! And if you Republicans don't cut the size and scope of this animal I will personally give each one of you a wedgy and I will post it on You Tube:)
Joe Doakes (Venting)
The leftist liberals have taken one more plunge into the bottomless pool of insanity because, as always, their panic only proves to us that they’re losing.
Justice was last seen out on the town with (insult to honor) and (slap in the face to respect). And there using our wealth to pay for it.
That's insane!! This idiot has to be STOPPED!!!
If you stop feeding your attack dogs, eventually they'll turn on you…..
Looks like the Dems are about to start learning this ; )
But I thought the "right", conservatives and TEA Party is soo violent with their rhetoric and all like that animal Pelosi said a while back! Pelosi's "Frightening" Rhetoric and Violence Really Coming From…. who else, the radical "left".
The animals in DC, fringe media and special interests must be caged and tamed through unconventional means through http://www.savingtherepublic.com
Whatever that's floating the Progressives' big boat is sinking it with each "progressive" leak in the boat's hull.
Are there any wealthy Tea Party members who are willing to file a suit against these people? I'm afraid that's the only way to get them to stop making these false charges.
The reason they fear violence is that the last time right wing patriots armed they declared independence from Great Briton. You can see how that worked out for the totalitarians.
Does Pelosi approve of Progressive violence or does it scare her like the tea party rallies?
Every time something happens, they must be SOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed that it wasn't a tea party member… Every new incident must get their hopes up, "It was those tea baggers!" I'm sure the lefty bloggers go bananas… and then the big letdown because every time it's one of their own gone off the meds.
He should be hauling mexihole before the council rather than AZ…

Isn't it a crime to try and frame the Tea Party for a crime?
me too!!
I'm still waiting for one of these progressive thugs to sexually assault and/or murder Sarah Palin.
Things get nasty when you have thugs. They don't just wait around… thugs want action!
Well, Patriots, i can beat my chest when i say that this is no suprise. Decent folks, (conservatives, Tea Partiers, etc.), know how to show decorum, knows the value of debating issues with ideas instead of a weapon. But, i will also submit…..Do not take that as a sign of weakness because we as conservative Americans are the most fiercest defenders of the truth, we will battle where and when we need to.
The ends always justifies the means for progressive libtards…so the answer would be NO…
More pics of the one in the middle.
Be funny to see what Todd would do to the guy after he tried it.
In fact, "The Revenge Of Todd" would be a great PPV.
Think about how desperate the progressives must be to embrace such "great people" to help their cause.
When you play with dynamite long enough, eventually you get a mess to clean up.
Pelosi and like minded progressives not only approve they encourage it. Their silence will be deafening. Its in the Alinsky play book. By whatever means necca scary.
This is reminiscent of those black professors who were caught hanging nooses around their own doorknobs a few years back. Typical liberal strategy, try to 'frame' the opposition – the ends justify the means!
Stupid at work again
…Sorta like that MSNBC reporterette, Contessa Brewer, expressing her disappointment that the Times Square bomber suspect was another Muslim (and after Mayor "McCheese" Bloomberg expressed his opinion that the suspect may have been someone who was "upset" about the recently-passed "Health Care Reform" bill).
I'm shocked, shocked, absolutely shocked. Progressives actually work for money…capitalism? /S
Hmm-anyone check and see if Mr Powers was also either an SEIU thug or a paid shill for ACORN? Or maybe if he was being paid by Media doesnt Matters(in other words, George the SoreAsshole)
and that's not being very nice to any self respecting pigs, Cowboy…
Right on Gillan. And our time to defend is now. We've been subject to the Abuse of Power of the Radical Left for long enough. Now the response. Systematic "weeding out" and exposing of the Corrupt Tactics of the Dems!
What a shame.
CB-im wondering if that idiot Libnut who rented the house next to the Palins in Wasila is still there?
We've been subject to the Abuse of Power of the Radical Left for long enough. Now the response: Systematic "weeding out" and exposing of the Corrupt tactics and goals of the Dims!
Dont forget AX-this is the state where in 2008 the AG and Sec?state threatened to sue ANYONE publishing information critical of Maobama, in particular something Dick Morriss had on him.
And incidents like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvM5ZIHQv8g
I have been reluctant to "speak" to those who are wealthy that are on the right side of common sense Americans but I think the headlines now justify it. Where are those wealthy conservatives who care about this country? YOU NEED TO STEP UP AND START FUNDING MOVEMENT AGANST THE RADICALS. I know you are there I know you are reading this, listening to conservative radio LISTENING & WATCHING GLENN BECK. We Need You and YES YOUR MONEY! There are billionaires financing the radicals in DC, state and local governments as well as backing the radical special interests. You busted your butt to get where you are do you not realize they are going to come after what you created…. eventually your wealth?!
Are you just hoarding your money thinking it will be okay and blow over you? I have news for you they will come after you too. Look at what they are doing right now they are going after the common American discrediting trivializing them, they are threatening to tax everyone, but who will really have to pay? YOU THE EVIL RICH CAPITALIST is next! Help US!!
Chris Powers, it doesn't take long for false accusations toward the TeaParty etc. to be exposed in these Internet times.
Macky-Bubba is still disappointed that in 1995 , hetried to pin the Okie City Bombing(McVeigh) as some kind of Limbaugh listening right wing nutcase. In the meanwhile, I dont hear one left wing puke EVER talk about the murdering bomber in there midst, one WILLIAM AYERS. No only wont they talk about the ex-weather underground scumbag, the bestow "honors" on him like the 1997 "Chicago man of the year" and making him the head of deciding what goes into college curriculum. Well ,BSNBC, wheres your story about Ayers, a known bomber?
i certainly want to be there to bear witness……thanks pni
Just imagine when the demokkkrats stop paying all thier buffoonish minions.Since they already feel entitled I can see it now. Those the left wishes to destroy will be pent up in thier homes and businesses defending thier property from the Obama brownshirts. When it comes out that that all the riots and looting are all Obama supporters I wonder how the MSM will spin it in a way that gives these enemies of America and of You and I a pass. There are TWO Americas now and there is no going back. Hate and lying on one side and compassion and truth on the other. Does America honestly think that those on the left can refrain from spewing so much hatred?
Pn-the hell with the legal action-spin up the weapons.
Can't even set a proper firebomb….. tsk-tsk These Leftist morons can't get anything RIGHT!
Piss and hate. Trademark of the leftisits.
The so called progressives continue to expose themselves as unhinged nuts
Funny, last week Justice was seen beating the schlitz out of common sense and personal responsibility. If anyone sees Justice, please don't try to approach, it is very unstable and likely to do more damage….
It was the TEA PARTY!!!…firebombing? what firebombing?
This usefull idiot must have worn out his welcome!
The Progressives don't realize (Most anyway) that when they crash the economy the have-nots will come for them first! The have-nots know we are probably armed and when it all goes to hell in a hand basket (Praying it does not!) we will be openly armed. Their paid security won't be their to protect them, they will be the first ones to take what they want. They are betting on more control through chaos but what usually happens (Historically) is civil war followed by a dictator of one ilk or another. Thats why the progressives, socialists, comunists and anarchist all seem to be working in sync with each other. They induce chaos then fight it out for control.
Just looking in the mirror scares Pelosi………..
He obviously wasn't trained by Bill Ayers.
The photo looks like a pantywaist job.
For crying out loud. Hire a criminal, then stiff him. Real smart. Boy, those leftoids are really geniuses, eh?
A bath and shampoo too.
good point….
Does this surprise anyone that it was one them?
Way to sweep this under the carpet, alphabet channels!
This is what happens when the welfare check bounces.
Now that is Precendential leadership in which you can believe. A U.S. President files a report with an international cabal of thugs and thieves accusing a state in our Republic with human rights violations for attempting to enforce a state law based on the Federal law.
Not even Jimmy Carter was so brazenly hostile to the United States.
Of course. Union job!
You are a hater and possibly a counter-revolutionary and wrecker opposed to Soviet collectivism and world socialism. We at Regime H.Q. have our eye on you ever since you stumbled over the words to The Internationale during Obamalev Commemoration & Appreciation Week. If this keeps up agents from the Ministry of Propaganda (known by their fanatically hated initials MSNBC – Ministry of Sanctioned Nuts, Bullies & Cowards) will be sent to investigate and your case will be reported in all State Media Collective organs until your case is decided by the Messiah and President For Life, Comrade Generalissimo-Secretary Obamalev. You have been warned.
You can't make this crap up. You can't…
I'll go eat my gun now and save myself the pain to come.
You are wrong conservative enemy of the state. Our agents are everywhere and this is just part of our plan to lull you into a false sense of confidence before we spring our trap. The trap is on order from Tyrants 'R Us and should be in after we have a bake sale to raise the money from you evil swashbuckling capitalist pigs. We know who you are and you cannot fool the agents of SPINCTER.
I suspect that you're thinking of the evil twin of justice that goes by the handle of jurisprudence.
Laws are not always just, they are simply legal.
I fear for the day when we as a nation realize that there is no longer justice or equal protection/application under just laws for the unwashed, flown-overs.
When that day arrives, the Oathkeepers will be tested most of all.
that would be such a relief. I'd pay to see that, but you know that the innocent would be charged by the guilty ones. Grr…
Save it, we might need it. he he
That would trigger a civil war. Believe me, the progressives will do anything to prevent us from rising up and realizing that our country and world will be a much better place without them. In the last century they murdered more than 100 million world citizens, so they know they are living on borrowed time and (sooner or later) we are going to realize the our own chances for survival – not prosperity, but mere survival – will be greatly enhanced by getting rid of these criminals for good.
Good point. Every shot counts!
Under what power granted him by the Constitution does he subject a sovereign state to the possibility of an international organization's authority? Where is the push-back from Arizona and other states? Is this an impeachable offense?
Well, you gotta be good at something.
Progress is their most important product.
Not even if she were nude!
me either, click click….
No wonder Carnahan wouldn't answer the reporter when asked his position on the Mosque at ground zero, he's quaking in his boots from the enemy within.
Damn, when I first read this comment I kind of peed my pants. Then I noticed who posted it.
ROFLMAO
Violence and leftists together again. Must be a coincidence. Liberalism means peace.
The progressive/marxists are as compassionate as the muslims are peaceful.
Too bad Arizona doesn't answer to the UN.
The Big SPINCTER is glad you were able to enjoy it. Have a great day Sirpigsalot1!
How would the Tea Party file a lawsuit? There has to be a named Plaintiff. There is no such legal entity as the Tea Party. However, if these charges were leveled against any named members of the Tea Party, then they may have a case.
Right back at ya rainmaker1145!
Wait until NIGHT #1 this clown is locked the State Pen. He'll really be sweating then, sweating and pleading for mercy.
I've been saying this for about three years now.I always wondered why the democrats were busy radicalizing people, when they can turn on them in due time…
They did.
The tea party people need to sue them for defamation of character….
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the scariest of them all?
Hey !! Holder….. this is a crime, duh!. Whats that you say…not unless it was a right wing terrorist? Hmmm so next we should expect to see Republican offices blown up and the perps caught and released. This is going to get really nasty.
I was reported and warned 14 years ago. They have my name, no were I live, and dare not come over to investigate any further for they know I am the real deal. Locked Loaded and ready to defend liberty, especially my own.
Thanks for the compliment
Yours in Liberty and Capitalism
I went and did a search at Democratic Underground, to see what they have on the story. The first one was a dated the 18th. Simple reprint of the news story on the fire. Strangely, not one comment. The next story mentioned the perp being released, but only 3 comments. Not a bit surprised, They tend to avoid any stories that make them look bad
