The Associated Press: AP source: Census worker hanged with ‘fed’ on body

This may turn out to be something else, but at the moment we’ve got a dead census worker hanging from a tree in Kentucky with the word “Fed” either drawn, painted (or carved?) on their chest.

Last I checked, it was the GOP harping about the Census Bureau and making people fear them.

Yes, these are the birds coming home to roost that were spoken of before. You speak angry anti-government speech and some inbred jackass is going to eventually take it as marching orders.

Like I said, I could be wrong here, but I suspect this might unfortunately be the beginning of an ugly, violent trend.

Daily Kos: Calling all John Galts in Georgia

Sure, obviously we should go help the folks flooded out of their homes in Georgia.

That said, this diary at DailyKos asks the question: why should we help people who believe that the federal government should be feared, hated, and possibly rebelled against.

He offers this advise to the teabagging locals:

(I)f you lost your home to the floods but you also are a follower of Boortz, Beck et al, do the right thing and decline all federal and state aid – like you urged your governor to decline stimulus funds.

So yeah, we should offer a hand as good Americans, as good Liberals as well, but we should also rub the worst offenders’ noses in it.

In another vein, as this region has been experiencing critical drought in recent years, perhaps they might consider this a good time to stop praying for rain.

Yes, I’m a jerk, but I’m tired of these hypocrites and feel real bad for their normal, sane neighbors caught up in the “punishment God is meting out for their sins” or whatever they say when liberals in New York get attacked or blacks in New Orleans gets ravaged by hurricanes.

The right’s middle-finger spirit of contrarianism | Salon

Mr. Obama is a Chicago guy, and he doesn’t wilt if some gin-crazed cracker from South Carolina calls him a liar, so don’t trouble your pretty head about civility.

The Fifth Columnists have pissed out Garrison Keillor and he’s calling them out for being the nitwits they are.

The American people, by and large, don’t admire wackos. A few wacko congressmen can’t do much harm, but you wouldn’t want them on the County Board. You want sober people who can add and subtract. And you don’t want one to marry your sister. The angry guy in a lather about Mr. Obama to the exclusion of rational thought will have to go to the weenie roast alone and nobody is going to dance with him except out of pure pity and I’m not sure he’s going to enjoy that.

The Last Time Right-Wing Hatred Ran Wild Like This a President Was Killed | Politics | AlterNet

Just a reminder that the conservatives have spoken hate and fear about an American President before. Then JFK died and they were shocked! that anyone would even try to blame them for inspiring assassination.

It’s starting again it seems.

Michelle Bachmann spoke crazy shit about the Census Bureau this summer. Now a census worker is dead, hung from a tree in Kentucky. Don’t tell me this isn’t related.

Then again, this was on FAUXNews, where apparently they think our nation’s flag is the Stars and Bars. No, twits, your side LOST the Civil War. That said, you sure don’t act like you did. Here’s the common thought process of a FAUXNews viewer, followed by Megyn “Airhead” Kelly delivering the party line.
