A man doing extra work for the U.S. Census in Kentucky was found hanged in a cemetery with the word “FED” scrawled on his chest.
Watch what al-Associated Press tried to do with the story:
MANCHESTER, Ky. — When Bill Sparkman told retired trooper Gilbert Acciardo that he was going door-to-door collecting census data in rural Kentucky, the former cop drawing on years of experience warned: “Be careful.”
The 51-year-old Sparkman was found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery and had the word “fed” scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.
“Even though he was with the Census Bureau, sometimes people can view someone with any government agency as ‘the government.’ I just was afraid that he might meet the wrong character along the way up there,” said Acciardo, who directs an after-school program at an elementary school where Sparkman was a frequent substitute teacher.
“and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment …”
There’s not one support quote in the rest of the story from the FBI or any other law enforcement official that implies this. Not one. What’s worse, the al-AP reporter even invokes Timothy McVeigh to support the case that somehow this man was the victim of someone all agitated after attending a Tea Party or consumed with hatred toward the federal government.
This is another attempt by the state-run media to falsely connect the tea parties and those opposed to runaway federal spending and an increasing role of government in the lives of ordinary citizen with random acts of violence.
Although this man was found murdered September 12 and had been dead for some time, since the coroner’s office said the body was decomposed to the point he recommended cremation to the family, the state-run media is attempting to use this to provide support for Bela Pelosi’s insane ramblings about political assassinations and other acts of violence resulting from the opposition to the socialist agenda in Washington.
Shameful. Just shameful.
[...] first blogged about it here and pointed out how al-AP slanted the article so badly as to implicate anyone opposed to Our Lord [...]
Well if he was found in a cemetary he was probably confimring Democratic voters…
Sorry, the joke was too easy, but this is tragic.
An ACORN operative?
That was a good one.
It is tragic. A man is dead, no one knows who murdered him, and we have the kook-fringe along with its allies in the national media trying to turn him into a hammer with which to club its political opponents.
What a disgrace. And disrespectful to the man’s next of kin.
