On September 12, the day of Teabagging Madness, a census worker was found hanged with the word "Fed" scrawled across his chest.
WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery. A law enforcement official says the word "fed" was scrawled on his chest.
The body of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old Census field worker and occasional teacher, was found Sept. 12 in the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky.
Investigators have said little about the case. A law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, tells The Associated Press the word "fed" was written on the dead man's chest.
FBI spokesman David Beyer said the bureau is helping state police determine if Sparkman's death was the result of foul play, and if so, whether it was related to his census work.
I suppose it's possible "Fed" was a rather inscrutable suicide note, and that the only place he had to write such a note was his own chest, but that seems rather unlikely to me.
It seems a little more likely to me that somebody got a wee bit riled up by the likes of Michele Bachmann, who said that she was worried if she filled out a census form, she would be thrown in a Japanese internment camp run by Acorn. (What I can't figure out is, when did Bachmann become Japanese? Or is the internment camp in Japan?)
It also strikes me that with Glenn Beck (who, at the very least, simulated boiling a live frog on TV yesterday) calling upon people to "water the tree of liberty", the 9/12 connection is a bit suspicious.
Yeah, that DHS report is looking like a load of bullshit, now, huh?
That "water the tree of liberty" is from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote. It also happens to be the exact quote found on the shirt Timothy McVeigh was wearing when he was arrested in Oklahoma for the Oklahoma City Bombing.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely chilling.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was a census worker during the last census. She refused to do it this time because of all the rhetoric flying around about the census. I'm very happy about that.
ReplyDeleteNo way, how terrible is that? I hope the FBI can get more details. That word FED scrawled on his chest is gruesome. What kind of person would do that?
ReplyDeleteNow,now, there's no reason to suspect foul play. Here in the South people have been known to beat themselves senseless, carve K's on their bodies, cuff their hands behind their backsand go hang themselves.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you liberals have to be so damn cynical all the time.
