More on the McCaskill Staff Finger Flipping Incident

You might have heard about the incident last week at Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill’s office in St. Louis when government health care protesters showed up and claimed a staff member flipped them off.

According to one of the protesters, a staffer inside McCaskill’s office flipped them off and closed the blinds.  The door was also locked and staff members refused to answer despite repeated knocking.

The Politico reports McCaskill has looked into the matter and says the flipper worked in an office on the second floor of the building above her office:

Mystery solved. Our office only occupies the first floor, and a marketing and advertising firm has the office space above us on the second floor. They acknowledged that one of the men that works in their offices made the gesture and they closed their blinds.(On the first floor our blinds are always closed). It’ s confusing because the signage makes it look like we occupy both floors.

That’s good to hear.  I would certainly hate to think such behavior would be seen from the staff of a United States senator; that would be an unsightly personal and physical representation of the kind of contempt many liberals in congress are displaying for the Constitution and the people they supposedly represent.

It’s too bad her staff didn’t take the time to talk with these protesters, though, and called the police to have them removed.  On a personal level, the staffers are under no obligation to give audience to views they don’t share. But they represent Senator McCaskill, who in turn represents those very same people.

Perhaps liberals have become so used to the American people rolling over for any kind of un-American legislation they cared to force on them, they’ve come to feel entitled to unquestioned power.  But liberals have overplayed their hand, and the Tea Party movement herald’s the coming of a bright new day for American freedom.
