Southern trees are bearing strange fruit again:

This, my friends, is what calling the census an attempt to brainwash children and implying the all-powerful US government is a direct threat to your precious bodily fluids reaps.

I hope Bachmann is happy now, as she's getting her wish. This poor man is a victim of the fearmongering the Radicals have sown. There's a certain quote by a certain man that's worth quoting here: "If you say for years that the Jews are not even human and that Russians are subhuman, such an explosion is inevitable." It is in that sense that Bachmann's fearmongering is directly responsible for this man's death. Shame on the Radical Right.

"...a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky"

It could possibly mean he accidently came across a still. Not unheard of.

[debergerac.livejournal.com]

you've jumped to a few unsupported conclusions.

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

It's the logic behind terrorism. We lynch the bad guy, the evil government will be put in its place. This has worse overtones with a black man in the White House.

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

Carving "Fed" on the census worker after women like Bachmann have been raising fear of the Census as the evil government come to corrupt us for Negro Communism is not likely to be a co-incidence. Any more than the caning of Brooks by Sumner.

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

Probably take credit for it, too.

[existentme.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, that's ridiculous.

[existentme.livejournal.com]

I seriously do not think this is any further out of the realm than the idea that this was done in reaction to "evil census talk," frankly.

[existentme.livejournal.com]

Has anyone claimed credit/responsibility for the act?

[gunslnger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just a few.

[existentme.livejournal.com]

I don't get the second clause of this sentence: "A person who channels McCarthy and does that gloating over the death of a census-taker?"

But yes, I know the other things, including the last. Nevertheless, I stand by my contention that she will not applaud this. This is one of those things we will ultimately have the answer to with regard to Bachman - and so if she applauds, you may feel free to stop back and tell me you told me so.

(Also, ftr and btw, you did not say in your original comment that it is not implausible, which is something a bit different from saying "she would applaud this" - or I probably wouldn't have even commented.)

[dwer.livejournal.com]

wouldn't that have resulted in "revnooor" carved into his face?

[existentme.livejournal.com]

Lol, oooh, gotcha - that's much better, and much closer to "not implausible," too.

[existentme.livejournal.com]

or T-man!
win at revnoor though.

It's sad that people like the OP are trying to use this senseless act to push their own agenda, especially when all the details have not come out.

[geezer-also.livejournal.com]

Jumping to conclusions before the facts is media driven, the left just does it better. Being left means never having to say you are sorry, and it seems they are embarrassed by nothing.

[devil-ad-vocate.livejournal.com]

Exactly. That's why I mentioned the illegal still possibility; or he could have been too close to somebody's marijuana patch. The 'fed' message could have been a warning to others.

Any number of possibilities...

While I don;t think you can pin this on one person(well the murder, but you know what I mean), I do think its fair to put some blame on those that spread nonsense conspiracy theories whether they are Alex Jones or Glen Beck.

I worked for the last census when I was in high school and the nonsense I would here was pretty funny. Its like, we're just counting people and gathering some statistics, this is not a big deal.

I get normal disagreements over matters of policy, but I don't get the OMG the government is coming to get me and put me in a FEMA camp, take away my Bible, control the weather, blah blah blah.

[majortom-thecat.livejournal.com]

If that were the case, I think he would have most likely been shot and the body would have been hidden. At least that's what I was told would happen to me if I got too close to anybody's marijuana patch in northern CA.

[allhatnocattle.livejournal.com]

lol

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

<-- Dailyquot'd OMGZLOL! :D

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

Let me insert a minor correction. The logic behind terrorism is to intimidate the populace and thus achieve a certain political agenda, not to destroy something. Destruction is only a tool. Just saying.

[ddstory.livejournal.com]

The strangest thing is that the OP claims that he is not left. Which leads to two possible conclusions that we could quickly jump to. ;)
He is either not sincere about his political preferences or he has a very different understanding of the terms left and right.

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

So you're just a deluded brainwashed puppet of the eevul reptilian regime which is using you as a mindless tool to achieve world domination? Traitor of the human race!

/sorry, I had to say it/

/hides in a cave from the approaching Feds/

[usekh.livejournal.com]

Because the right never does any of that. Afterall "have you no shame sir" was not said to someone from the left.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

You know if you're going to trot out the Tired Triuisms I can counter, so really, just stop.

Ask the people of Iraq about the right never being sorry or embarrassed by anything.
