Tea party people held a mock funeral for a Missouri Congressman but were careful not to go on the property. Congressman Carnahan was reportly not pleased. Mock funerals have been a form of political protest that has been around for Thousands of years.
Tea Partiers did lead a mock funeral procession to the congressman’s Compton Heights home Sunday night — ““mourning the loss of liberty” — but organizers say they took extra precautions to stay off Carnahan’s property.
“To symbolize these losses of values and principles, we carried a stage coffin and candles. We gave eulogies to the things we lost in front of Carnahan’s office on Brentwood,” St. Louis Tea Party organizer Bill Hennessy wrote on the group’s website. “Then the funeral procession went to Carnahan’s house where it ended with a final word—a symbolic internment—on the sidewalk near his home.”
This post is not to say who is right or who is wrong. It is only to point out the mock funeral.
