"Get in Their Faces:" Arrested Trouble-Maker at Carnahan Rally Says She Works for Carnahan
Update: Woman ID'd?

Update; Moe Lane thinks a media report has named her as "Javonne Spitz" (as my mind scrambles to block out psychologically wounding sexual double-entredees; I want to change my name to Heywood Janottouchme).

But she isn't mentioned as working for Carnahan.

I'm not sure that's an accurate ID, though. The article specifies Spitz wore a "salmon-colored" shirt, and this hideous beast is wearing something I'd call Not Hot Pink, not salmon.

Still, it is in the pink spectrum. Maybe the reporter was trying to be nice and avoid saying "Garish Ugly Fat Aged Whore Pink."

She looks like she smells like old cigarettes and feet.

A commenter points out Javonne Spitz, whether that is or isn't the below woman, is, naturally, a grassroots supporter with absolutely no connection to any sort of partisan organizing group whatsoever.

Based on her membership in the Cult of Obama, it is even more likely she considers herself to be "working for Carnahan," while in fact only working for, um, social justice or something else that doesn't seem to actually involve job duties or a salary.

More: A Daily Kos diarist pegs the woman as Javonne Spitz too.

Here's vid of her arrest. Now she definitely is a grassroots protester, judging by her not-so-stylish couture.

What am I wearing? Oh, this? It's a Vera Gunt original.

I guess that's not fair. No one looks good in arrest photos. I sure won't.

Why the hell am I spending so much time on this trout-ish looking she-thing?

Thanks to Andrew.

Hmmm... Based on her version of events, I feel bad for her.

But then, I haven't read the police report yet.

At the forum, Spitz admits she was tossed out because she had been taking photographers of angry protesters as they tried to drown out the speakers. On her way out, a man "grabbed my arm and my camera and tried to break my camera." She told a policeman about it, and he replied: "I'm done." She took a picture of the officer and his badge, and "that made them all very angry," she said. "Too bad because they refused to help me."

As she was walking to her car, she saw the man on the ground. She recognized him as a local minister. She took his picture, to the chagrin of police officers, then was arrested as she walked away, she said. She claims she was maced even after her hands were cuffed behind her back. She said the mace made her sick. "It's very painful," she said. "I was crying, hyperventilating."

Just so lefty trolls know: If that account of events is true, then of course she should not have been arrested.

I think that the police report will indicate it's not true, however.

...

A caution: We only have her word she works for Carnahan. Carnahan's office denies any of its staffers were arrested.

However, she could be a volunteer, and Carnahan's office is parsing about "staffers."

Get in their faces.

Our Members need cover.

We have strategies for dealing with that.

The denial from Carnahan's flack here, and a blogger promise that she's "Working identifying the woman in the video." Plus, a pic of her being cuffed.

Note the similarity to Jon Henke's report about Tampa...

Ironically, the only photographic evidence of a physical encounter that the paper published showed a woman, later identified by Henke as local Democratic operative Karen Miracle, shoving an Obama critic in the face.

Via Instapundit.

Plus: No AstroTurfing Here! Obama sends out Joker-Signal twitter for "grassroots grandmothers and veterans and even mothers pushing strollers" to gin up some fake enthusiasm for his disastrous plan by calling a Representative.

There's really nothing wrong with asking for that -- but it is breathtaking that the Democrats and their Spirit Squad in the media would call such a thing "AstroTurfing" when concerned conservative citizens (for real this time) do the same.

Also lifted from Instapundit: Gee, Obama's "grassroots" supporters seem to be wearing a lot of Brooks Brothers suits and silk ties!
