Kentucky census worker hanged, "Fed" scrawled on his chest. I hope Bachmann's happy.
WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery, and a law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word 'fed" was scrawled on the dead man's chest.

The body of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and occasional teacher, was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky. The Census has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Investigators are still trying to determine whether the death was a killing or a suicide, and if a killing, whether the motive was related to his government job or to anti-government sentiment.

I don't think it's much of a stretch to connect the dots to a conspiracy-mongering congresswoman and her well-known hatred for the Census Bureau ...

3. I feel like throwing up. She makes me sick to my stomach. Seriously. It is NO stretch at
all "about her asking the general public to react to the Census and Census takers and Government." She got premo press from this and media time.

4. And she'll deny any responsibility

It is such a pity that she can't be charged for this.

If God is ever going to talk to her, I hope it's tonight and I hope He tells her she's going to hell.

5. Lets mail her this article. Lets put a couple acorns in the envelope also
She make me so sick. We should print off the victim's picture and mail that to her also and maybe put a hand print in red. Say.. his blood is on your hands. And words do hurt.

6. Don't rush to conclusion, or you will end up with an egg on your face
and a triumphant Michelle

Some people wonder if his death in the remote part of southeastern Kentucky known for its meth labs and hidden marijuana fields had less to do with his job than simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

7. I actually think she IS happy
These monsters are as bloodthirsty as they come. If something does ever happen to Obama, there will be many secret toasts raised behind closed oak doors.

9. I think the opinion of Bachmann around here rarely varies
bat-shit-crazy pretty much sums it up all the time with an occasional "spawn of Satan" thrown in.

10. Varies between nutball crazy and extreme nutball crazy
and that is in contrast to Kline, who I view as very conservative (and disagree with almost every issue) but not a complete nutball.
