Congressman Runs Away From Ground Zero Mosque Question… Literally

Rep. Russ Carnahan won't answer a question about whether or not he supports the Ground Zero Mosque. It's something his constituents would probably like to know.

LMAO LMAO!!!!!!! Holly cow!!!!! LMAO!!!!! Leftist loons on the run. We have cameras everywhere. You can't hide anymore. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same. More proof.

JEFFX138   August 25th, 2010 - 1:11 am

That's awesome. The leftists may have owned the Internet in 2008, but we have learned our lesson and the people have taken to the streets. Citizen journalism is exposing these cowards and liars for what they are. All politicians will be held accountable. Keep up the great work!

ViveLAmerican   August 25th, 2010 - 1:12 am

Remember this footage!!! Use it!!!

martifr   August 25th, 2010 - 1:14 am

Dimokrat cowards. They stand for everything because they stand for nothing.

gwar5   August 25th, 2010 - 1:26 am

If they won't say, then they're voting for Islam. Alluha akbar.

Carrie3570   August 25th, 2010 - 1:28 am

WOW!!!! Where did all the real men go that are willing to stand up for their beliefs no matter what they are?

Cicero   August 25th, 2010 - 1:33 am

Silence is consent. Carnahan supports building a mosque that celebrates the murder of 3,000 Americans. If that isn't treason, nothing is.

iconoclastKM   August 25th, 2010 - 1:33 am

Bomp, bomp, bomp…

Another one bites the dust!
Another one bites the dust!

Yeaaah!
Bomp, bomp, bomp…

Is it November yet?

nomname   August 25th, 2010 - 1:56 am

Carnahan is a professional politician. He plans on staying forever by doing as little as possible. He's a BS artist.

indyone1   August 25th, 2010 - 2:20 am

I say kudos to him for showing restraint against the crazy "gotcha" hater amateur obviously trying to get a negative reaction.

RightUnite   August 25th, 2010 - 2:22 am

Yup….. Need to vote this idiot out…. Kick him to the curb in November!

Sonny119   August 25th, 2010 - 2:28 am

What a great campaign TV Ad, against the so-called Congressional Democratic Rep, along with, " Congressman, "where do you stand on supporting the Unconstitutional Obamacare, Obama's Multi-Trillion Dollar Welfare Entitlement Programs. The Trillion Dollar Spending of Stimulus and Bail Out Money for the Unions and Banks, and the Govt. buyout of GM and Chrysler, Bankrupting America with his Out of Control Spending Sprees and the Unsustainable National Debt and Deficit ballooning out of Control, and the Neglect of America's National Security and the Borders, and allowing illegal aliens to flood America, and having the blatant black racist AG Holder, sue Arizona and Sheriff Joe, instead of enforcing the federal Immigration Laws, and supporting Law Enforcement.. All of these questions should be asked of EVERY Congressman campaigning for re-election this Nov.!!!!

mustafamonde   August 25th, 2010 - 2:30 am

Wow, the democrats really are the testicle-free party. More ammo for Nov.!

Mikeyh0   August 25th, 2010 - 2:35 am

It's only a "gotcha" moment if the Congressman says something stupid. How can it be a negative reaction to support the building of a mosque near ground zero? Or is that what you really think?

Urthmovr   August 25th, 2010 - 3:18 am

Or maybe his constituents (from MISSOURI) are smart enough to know that he doesn't need to have an opinion on NYC zoning issues.

Sickofobama   August 25th, 2010 - 3:19 am

I guess no answer is a resounding YES I SUPPORT EVERYTHING THE KENYAN MUSLIM MARXIST WANTS!

Missourians: VOTE CARNAHAN OUT – HE'S VOTING YOU OUT OF EXISTENCE!

Urthmovr   August 25th, 2010 - 3:21 am

I have to agree with you, Unlike this guy, Sarah Palin engages in conversation with every nutcase who approaches her. It's usually when she makes her dumbest remarks.

Walking away from issues that don't concern you is ALWAYS a good idea.

Urthmovr   August 25th, 2010 - 3:22 am

I agree with you in part… God IS great!

Or did you mean something else?

Jake Wilson   August 25th, 2010 - 3:27 am

This is the last straw for my support of Carnahan. What a pathetic weasel.

UrinalMint   August 25th, 2010 - 3:30 am

They are public employees. We pay their salaries. They should be required to anser reasonable questions regarding thier policies and voting rationale.

Another Obama A$$pony.

Jamesb   August 25th, 2010 - 3:39 am

Another cowardly Democrat runs like a scared dog. Techically is not "his" issue. We ALL KNOW that the hard leftist postion is PRO-ISLAM – a "killer" of an issue in Heartland America. I bet opposition in BIG MO runs 8 to 1 AGAINST POKING America in our collective eye with this afront. Islam makes a *habit* of hurtful actions – hell they generally HATE EACH OTHER.

Democrat equals "Islam Friendly". America is not "Islam Friendly". We are at WAR with Islam. Duh.

Why not a polite "no comment at this time" or "call my office and we'll set up an interview", or "e-mail me and I'll get back to you" you know,

one of MILLIONS of BLOW OFF lines attractive women use while envisioning goofy liberal Muslim lovers sitting in a sea of empty pizza boxes and a large graphic of Obama with "HOPE" underneath it cheering on a Dem pol.

freelemming   August 25th, 2010 - 4:04 am

All that is needed for the forces of evil to succeed is for good men to remain silent. If you are a good man, a leader no less, you must oppose evil in words and deeds. The desecration of the American victims of 9-11 is no light and transient matter. The time to speak out against this heinous affront to America is now.

Jake Wilson   August 25th, 2010 - 4:06 am

Carnahan supports the Ground Zero Victory Mosque

OILBAMA   August 25th, 2010 - 4:12 am

agree'd!, & I'm enjoying this way to much.

Suvrec   August 25th, 2010 - 4:14 am

May we have your opinion on the Mosque?

Suvrec   August 25th, 2010 - 4:18 am

Do you understand the bigger issue here? The mosque at best is insensitive to many many Americans, the history of such buildings is well documented through history.

Do you think it would serve all to have it moved?

While I am writing do you have an opinion on Israel? Should it remain as a country?

Suvrec   August 25th, 2010 - 4:22 am

II have on occasion stepped in something left by farm animals that smells better, looks better, and is more useful than this POS

Warmingsmorming   August 25th, 2010 - 4:36 am

Question " Your my congressman why are you ignoing me?" My answer to that reporter. Remember the health care vote , there is nothing new about these bums ignoring constituents. Vote them all out come November

WhiteGuy2   August 25th, 2010 - 4:51 am

Leave it to the Leftist and there will be a Mosque on every street corner. God help us.

Do you really expect these scumbags to address the concerns of those who elected them? Welcome to the new America !

yourjewishnews   August 25th, 2010 - 5:14 am

from his not answering the question we know where he stands on the issue

dennisl59   August 25th, 2010 - 5:18 am

I learned a long time ago that NO ANSWER is the answer. Coward.

jmf_stl   August 25th, 2010 - 5:25 am

What a great replacement for little dick gephardt. Come on Ed Martin.

claspur   August 25th, 2010 - 5:27 am

Wait till you have a mosque in your neighborhood, and fall under Sharia, a$$hat.

claspur   August 25th, 2010 - 5:30 am

Just another anti-American libtard that sides with the Islamists to destroy Freedom and the West.

Read: "United in Hate" _Jamie Glazov

ridgerunner   August 25th, 2010 - 5:31 am

Great examples of the shinning arrogance of the democrat party. And to think he didn't even have some polished response for this knowing how hot the subject is.

claspur   August 25th, 2010 - 5:33 am

Well, he could've just lied like president Soetoro constantly, since being sworn into office, twice.

1Putt   August 25th, 2010 - 5:44 am

He has an opinion; he prefers not to state it on the record……. at the very least he is required to respond to his constituents' direct questions.

DavidC99   August 25th, 2010 - 5:47 am

I somehow doubt you care about God.

Leftists and Muslims — such a weird alliance.

DavidC99   August 25th, 2010 - 5:50 am

A victory mosque placed in celebration of three thousand dead, who were killed in the name of Islam, is not a zoning issue, dimwit.

timetospeakupx   August 25th, 2010 - 5:51 am

The real men are few and far between. It seems that the outspoken women who keep taking it on the chin , over and over, are the ones who have the courage to speak their truths as they see it and to stand by it , fight for it. If you don't respect their politics, anyone with a brain should respect their courage for standing tall. Look at Palin and Brewer. And kudos to sheriff Joe because he doesn't back down either. Standing tall, what a novel idea, and so illusive in the doublespeak or no speak in the majority of our HONORABLE politicians.

Rover_Bump   August 25th, 2010 - 6:05 am

"I'm a congressman. The point of my ivory tower is that I don't need to speak to the Little People who put me there."

Rover_Bump   August 25th, 2010 - 6:07 am

A lot of these trolls have to be Eurotrash. Most seem too utterly out of touch with what's going on here and feel very comfortable firing darts from an ocean away.

childofcorn   August 25th, 2010 - 6:23 am

This Congressman is living in Serfdom in his head.

JohNi1q   August 25th, 2010 - 6:37 am

HeReturnsSoon   August 25th, 2010 - 6:47 am

The citizen was luck he wasn't asking someone like Al Frankin. Al Franken would have done a full freek out with a few girly slaps thrown in. Good work Brother.

TexasStomp   August 25th, 2010 - 6:50 am

Remember your post when YOU have a question for your REPRESENTATIVE and get IGNORED, jmf.

Not pickin a fight and this isn't about the mosque. This is about elected officials IGNORING CONSTITUENTS. How can you support any elected official who won't answer ANY question from a CONSTITUENT?

Is this REALLY the kind of representative government you WANT?

smoke ranch   August 25th, 2010 - 7:07 am

Silence sometimes can be golden. Where ever this guy is from, he needs to be removed from Congress.

Bimmcorp   August 25th, 2010 - 7:18 am

Ignoring their constituents is the one thing that liberal Congressmen are good at.

kmichaels   August 25th, 2010 - 7:29 am

Muslims and Hitler supported each other too. Evil flocks together.

vwhizbang   August 25th, 2010 - 7:31 am

Where does he stand on the Ground Zero Mosque? You can't actually agree that he has no opinion.

kmichaels   August 25th, 2010 - 7:32 am

Of course you and chickenshit are mutual friends. Liberals are cowards.

kmichaels   August 25th, 2010 - 7:34 am

Chickenshit Fartmover still yacking like a gutless liberal?

vwhizbang   August 25th, 2010 - 7:34 am

Are you trying to say he doesn't have an opinion? That seems rather unlikely.

jdog   August 25th, 2010 - 7:34 am

ignoring the question is much worse than answering it. Most of America would understand if he would say… Muslims have a 1st amendment right to build and practice their religion peacefully, however I believe the Imam's decision to build near ground zero damages Muslim-American relations and is a poor decision.

Commieobamie   August 25th, 2010 - 7:44 am

allah is Lucifer/ SATAN, NOT God.

jdog   August 25th, 2010 - 7:44 am

…. then he should have said that.

I expected this hack to lift up the ends of his skirt and run away on his "tippee toes" all the while screaming heeeeeelp,heeeeeelp!!!

COWard!! Your wife must be real proud of you , you dickhead!!

rockstone   August 25th, 2010 - 7:57 am

TRYING to get a negative reaction? Fool. Mission accomplished. The was a negative reaction!

Does this tell you something about the Dems ?

DarthShatner   August 25th, 2010 - 8:20 am

there is no restraint in running away from your constituents.

It's called ducking and dodging…

HelloLiars   August 25th, 2010 - 8:40 am

Now that was Hilarious !! I thought the camera man/ Teabagger rube was going to cry his eyes out.

now why should he answer an ignorant gotcha question from someone who clearly is not giving him his vote.

welovetheUSA   August 25th, 2010 - 8:40 am

Islam must be kepted out of America, they will destroy our nation, period.

everette18294   August 25th, 2010 - 8:43 am

No, he doesn't have to answer the question since it is not in his district, but as with any Federal Congressperson, their votes affect each and every district in this nation. The most striking thing was the display of arrogance on the Congressman's part. A simple yes, or no or, vote present would have been sufficient;

bladybla   August 25th, 2010 - 8:52 am

These guys are amateurs – what is he afraid of? huh?!

tiger_star   August 25th, 2010 - 8:55 am

tiger_star   August 25th, 2010 - 8:56 am

Not really – both want the destruction of America

tiger_star   August 25th, 2010 - 8:57 am

LOL – any question you ask a leftie that requires a straight answer is a "gotcha" question.

tiger_star   August 25th, 2010 - 9:01 am

Any question requiring a straight answer is a "gotcha" question to a Progressive. Don't want the people to know what he really thinks!!

What is a "teabagger"? Is that what idiots who can't spell "tea party" call it?

NeedABetterName   August 25th, 2010 - 9:06 am

Asking a US House Rep. from MISSOURI a question about a building being built in ANOTHER district is none of his concern.
AND IT SHOULDN'T BE!
I'm for SMALL GOVERNMENT like most of you folks on here YET at the same time you want BIG GOVERNMENT opinions.
Tighten up.

Look in the mirror and you can see a victim of teabagging, then go on line, head to google images, and search Teabagging. Enjoy.
By the way the term was given to themselves before the dumbasses realized it was a sexual term. Thats how stupid they are.

gwgn02   August 25th, 2010 - 10:03 am

This is a frightening glimpse of the future. Congresspeople who are mute to their constituents, blind to reality, and have no concern for representative government as it responsibly should be exampled. I fear we may be heading to violent revolution again after all…

imsailing2   August 25th, 2010 - 10:16 am

Exactly!! Where has professionalism and politeness gone? They can just treat their constituents like garbage as long as they can figure out a way to get enough votes on election day.

Any Congressman with even 1/2 a brain should have a "pat" answer of some sort ready on this issue.

It's ridiculous for them to think they are above addressing questions on this issue.

1Ladyliberty   August 25th, 2010 - 10:42 am

Play this OVER AND OVER AGAIN in his district. If im right, isnt it his sister running for the Senate against Ray Blount? Wasnt it his daddy who died a few years ago and still appeared onthe ballot in the governors race, and won? Not only must this punk bne defeated, he must be crushed , so that his ilk will NEVER EVER AGAIN infest America with there communist agenda. I dont know how hes polling, but the bettingodds are this guy is in huge trouble.

I am definitely not supporting this idiot. I could not stand his predecessor dick gephardt and I definitely cannot stand this ahole. The man running against carnahan is Ed Martin. I am supporting him. Sorry for the confusion.

jamesinmx   August 26th, 2010 - 11:14 am

shiiiiit….these commies are unblievable. wtf do these a$$holes drink in d.c?…..get elected, they think they are royalty. this is a great election ad for the repubs. they work for us,and must answer questions. if not kick em to the curb.this is one arrogant looking m.f. who the s##t votes for these a$$wipes?

unbecoming   August 26th, 2010 - 11:53 pm

Great work on the video man,but I want to point out that your congress person (that isnt a real man – imposter just like barry soetoro)
wasn't ignoring you.He told you where he stood by running away from you – an ordinary concerned True American citizen.He knows where True Patriots stand hence his scampering away.You are his enemy and hes running away to feel safe with his elite psychos.Hes a progressive thru and thru.

Also be careful he may have union thugs with him next time.Keep your cameras handy.The Media lies to Mainstream America so we must counter and inform them ourselves and it's bravery like this that will contribute to doing what is right.

Well Done.

FLIrishPM   August 28th, 2010 - 6:33 pm

Another example of the 'ruling class' mentality and their absolute disgust and hatred for all of us working class rubes that, in their eyes, only exist to work and pay taxes so they can figure out ways to confiscate even more from us to distribute in their vote buying schemes. This is why come November 2nd, Americans need to kick every one of these progressives out of office and then go about the business of dismantling the institutions that are destroying our country.
