Martin Celebrates Protesters Who Burned Carnahan in Effigy

Adam at St. Louis Activist Hub flags an Ed Martin Facebook message from Saturday in which Martin praised the "concerned citizens" who protested outside of Rep. Russ Carnahan's district office.  We love a good protest, however misguided or redundant, but this was not your typical sign-waving, horn-honking protest.  Chad Garrison of The Riverfront Times:

This weekend's health care vote in the U.S. House brought out the radical, right-wing fringe (again).

At a St. Louis Tea Party rally outside of Russ Carnahan's St. Louis office on Saturday, an angry mob threw shoes at a photo of the congressman before lighting the image on fire.

"I love the way a fire smells when it's burning tyranny!" a protester exclaimed in a video of the the protest.

Yesterday, a similar crowd delivered a coffin to the Congressman's house to express further displeasure. Conservative activist Adam Sharp explains:

Candle Light Vigil Turns Into Funeral Procession.

The St Louis TEA Party held a vigil and symbolic funeral for the victims of Obamacare. The candle light prayer service was held at Russ Carnahan's office and the funeral procession made it's way to Russ's House where the coffin was placed on the sidewalk in front of his home. Symbolically laying responsibility for the lives that will be adversely effected at Russy boy's feet.

The "mainstream" Republican Party and right-wing fringe are now one.
