I know many of you hate when freep comments are posted, but regarding the hanged census worker--

[Mrs. Overall]

I think it's important to see the reactions on the freep site. These people are extremists and apologists for violence. This is what keeps Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly on the air. It makes me ill.

from the freep site:

Someone with the inside scoop on ACORN?

Sorry, but I can’t help but think-— when somebody tells you to get off of their porch, you really should leave.

I can easily picture a pushy ACORN type person pushing the wrong buttons in the rural South. Hanging the worker is a bit extreme. What do you want to bet that this is labeled a hate crime?

Maybe the perpetrator ran out of paint before finishing, “Fed up with nosy questions.”

If this guy was black, and if he was left hanging from a southern tree, pretty soon we’ll be hearing a revival of “Strange Fruit” on Air America.

Guess they missed the second sheet that fell off that had the word “Up” on it....

I think that a person would have a good reason to be paranoid about a 2010 census worker showing up on his doorstep in 2009.

Census workers are already out there? I thought the 2010 census happened in 2010?
Anyway, this is probably one of the soon to be numerous false flags telegraphed by Pelosi in her recent academy award performance.

Bet the jerk doesn't show up at my door again.

it's that right-wing violence nancy pelosi was weeping over.
Like, please, wtf has the fact that he was a census worker got to do with it? He probably grew tomatoes at home. Why didn't the call say, "Amatuer Gardner hanged...."?

Of course lynching does create some problems beyond just shooting... I have never gotten into the sport, but it seems to me that lynching would be too much work and take much of the fun out of it. Now if you don't mind, I'm going back under the house to finish burying a few more bodies.
