This thread comes courtesy of DUmmy walldude, an imbecile of the first water. DUmmy walldude
is so abysmally stupid that a few years ago he sabotaged his oppressive employer, then bragged
about it at the DUmp. His bragging contained enough detail that it was simple for a lousy freeper
troll to discover DUmmy walldude's real world identity, his employer, and the time and place of
the sabotage. The employer was tipped off, DUmmy walldude was fired, and was immediately
back online at the DUmp, wailing about the injustice of it all.

I'll say it. Congratulations Michelle Bachmann, you killed a cancer ridden old man
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.

Ok, I'm sure there will be denials and ranting and raving about how this was no fault of Michelle Bachmann's anti-census rants. But that is all bullshit. She caused this mans death. There is no doubt about it.
I have never heard of a census worker being hung and tagged "Fed" like he was some kind of spy. Not till today. And not till after Rep Michelle Bachmann decided to go on TV and claim that the census was some evil government plan to round up republicans and put them in concentration camps. Sorry, Ms Bachmann but the blood of this poor dude is all over your hands. Not only should you resign so that your insane rantings can be kept in your own home but you should be charged with a crime in relation to this mans death.
Sleep well you lunatic.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6616450 Now, I may be wrong, but I expect nothing to come of this. DUmmies of all stripes are in an
uproar, huffing and puffing about this key member of the Kenyan's administration trundling off
to his reward from the end of a rope. Freepers, enraged by Michelle Bachmann's statements
against the ACORN-fueled O-census, must have lynched this poor guy.
Law enforcement at the scene are less than enthusiastic about calling this a crime, and have
repeatedly mentioned suicide. I believe that's what it was. You see, this guy was probably a
typically taciturn rural Kentuckian, a man of few words. His suicide note would have been brief
and to the point, not a gushing eruption of syllables like a Pitt essay. So the note found on him
was his concise explanation of why his life was no longer worth living.
The note didn't say "Fed", as has been reported. The police just missed the apostrophe that
would have made it "F'ed".

1. I have a post on this already but I'll repeat it.
Attacking Census workers is not only vile, it is stupid. Making it difficult for people who are like
you to be counted ensures that you will have less congress critters in your state.
The arrogant and obnoxious DUmmy TLB, an alleged attorney of proven absolute incompetence,
is nonetheless on to something in this case. Minus about 30 of her annoying dots:

2. I know how you feel, but, please consider that it's not been determined a homicide. It just
might be a suicide.
Try to hold off on the condemnations - as seductive as they may be - until some facts are known.
Remember how the freepers went nuts over the girl with the "B" carved on her face?
Until someone noticed it was backwards?
The facts will come out.
Actually, as I recall it, that hoax was so transparent, and discoverd so quickly, no one had a chance
or reason to go nuts. It wasn't like the Tawanna Brawley hoax, the perpetrator of which is now regarded
as a "senior black leader". But then, I guess you have to consider his competition.

30. You really think that a man who successfully battled cancer and got a degree...
Drove 30 miles from home, parked his truck at a church then hiked a considerable distance into
the woods to hang himself, after scrawling "Fed" on his chest?
Really?
I mean, honestly, how likely does that seem to you?
Yep, a guy in his 50's, working as a part time census taker in rural backwoods Kentucky, assesses
his life, and decides it is totally F'ed up.

35. When human beings are concerned, anything is possible. After living this long - I'm old -
and having practiced law for more than three decades, I am still constantly surprised at
what people do. They are one species that is always perfectly unpredictable.
Yes, it seems very likely. After all, you know nothing about him, save for a few details about
his health, his marital status, his fatherhood, his student status. You have no way of knowing
his life, his history, what went on in his head.
Imagine that he found out that his cancer had returned and, this time, was untreatable? That
would set up a perfect scenario for his death, sparing his children the horror of taking care of
him as he died, and, if it looked like a murder, would still keep his insurance policy or policies
in force.
I can imagine that very easily, since I've witnessed variations on that theme.
Don't ever make the mistake of thinking you know someone because you read a few details
about him. You don't. No one does......................................
See what I mean about all those stupid dots?

20. "So if anyone 'rants' against a particular activity and then someone
performing that activity is murdered the ranter is to blame?"
YES, actually. It's called fomenting violence and inciting riots.

I see, so if they are fomenting violence why haven't they been arrested? If it meets the legal
definition that should be an open and shut case.
And it will remind people to keep their mouths shut on controversial issues to avoid being sent
to jail, which is a good thing.
Zoeisright (265 posts) Wed Sep-23-09 09:33 PM
36. Huh? Of course they should be arrested.
Haven't you been paying attention?? We WANT these people to be held responsible for their
hate speech.
And nobody is saying that people should 'keep their mouths shut on controversial issues'.
We're supposed to discuss issues. What is wrong is when nuts like Michelle Bachmann get
these unstable kooks all riled up by raging against the 'communist, fascist census workers'.
And then someone gets killed. What don't you understand about that?
DUmmy Forkboy, after thousands of posts, finally makes sense, just this once:

47. You realize how easy it would be to turn this around on the Left and start arresting us?
How much do you think people could have spoken out during the Bush Administration if they
could go after people for speech they felt was incitement? Half of DU would have been arrested.
This is a huge bonfire that goes on and on, with DUmmies choosing sides and attacking one another,
each side accusing the other of being on Jim Rob's payroll.
It's kind of surprising to see such squabbling over this. It seems very likely this census worker
simply realized how F'ed up his life was. No group in American society is collectively and individually more
F'ed up than the DUmmies. One would think they could easily spot a fellow traveler.
