Census Worked Hanged in KY

[NCVol]

You didn't address the fact of radio hosts calling Obama the Second Hitler, on a path just like Nazi Germany, which did have "socialist" in the name, you know.....

Is that a problem or not?  It was for Bush, not for Obama?

I can say the same thing:

BTW, did the US delegation walk out like Britain's did when Iran's "president" spoke at the UN? Doesn't he deny the holocaust? I wonder why Obama spoke more harshly towards Israel than any other country (other than the US of course).

And you wonder why some people call Obama the Second Hitler? He does a pretty good job of providing ammunition to the talk show hosts. I'm just sayin.........

If you show up in the mountains of Kentucky, West Virginia, Western Virginia, or upper East Tennessee and say, "I'm from the Federal Government," they figure you are either DEA, OSM, or ATF and they don't like any of those.

Yes.  

11 delegations including those from Britain, France, Germany and the US, left the room while the Iranian leader spoke

Just like Hitler!!! 

[Sasquatch]

Yes.  

Good for them.  

So much for an "era of new engagement". Do you think that Obama still thinks you can negotiate with this idiot?

[NCVol]

I hope he does negotiate.  There should be options other than killing a bunch of Iranians and U.S. soldiers in war to achieve foreign policy goals.  It seems to me that killing people and blowing up countries should be the LAST resort.  Let's hope we exhaust them all, even if it risks conservative neocon warmongers calling the President weak and the second coming of whoever the famous WWII appeaser was.... 

(that's after he is called the second coming of Hitler and Mussolini, of course.  Appeaser OR Nazi dictator - it's so hard to figure out which one Obama really is, there are so many similarities between appeaser and mad man mass murderer.... )




Just as an aside, firedoglake is one of my regular "liberal" sites to visit for a liberal slant on the real political news.  There's a story today that illustrates why - when the facts don't fit your favorite theory, facts win out.

By now, you've probably heard the horrible story about the census worker and teacher found hanged in Clay County, KY with the word "fed" written on his chest.

Before we assume that this apparent homicide was a response solely to the attacks Michele Bachmann and others have made on the census, it's worth recalling how Clay County made news earlier this year, when a bunch of local officials were indicted for vote fraud.
....

There may well be very localized reasons why people in Clay County don't want the federal government going door-to-door.

See, that's what honest people do  - they report facts even when it might be more fun to blame it on batS***crazy Michelle and Glenn...

Negotiate with someone who denies the holocaust? Good luck with that one. In the meantime Iran will continue to develop its nuclear weapons program while saying that Israel should be wiped off the map. 2 + 2 = ?

BTW, can you pass your "honest people" theory along to the libs on this board since they are the ones making ad hominem attacks and profiling the killer?

[NCVol]

Well, let's hope negotiations work, or more of our soldiers die, along with many tens of thousands of innocent Iranians. 


The honest people was the "liberal" firedoglake.  The author that calls him or herself emptywheel is especially good.

Negotiating out of this would be great. And if it doesn't work, don't forget the Israelis who will also die. Let's also not forget what has happened to those who took a stand for freedom in Iran during the election earlier this year and Obama's response.

Maybe the libs on here will heed your advice to seek honest people's opinion with regards to the census worker's murderer.

They've not officially ruled out suicide.  I think this story puts the "murder v. suicide" question to rest...

''The only thing he had on was a pair of socks,'' Weaver said. ''And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something.''
....
''And they even had duct tape around his neck,'' Weaver said. ''And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder.''

Who isn't ruling out suicide yet?? ... "He was murdered,'' Weaver said. ''There's no doubt.''

Here is what I posted two days ago:

I'm willing to bet the following:

1. it was a murder, not a suicide Check
2. the murderer was a white male
3. he probably has a rebel flag either tattooed on his body or displayed prominently in the rear window of his pickup truck (next to the gun rack)
4. he is an anti-government, right wing nut job (a la Timothy McVeigh)
5. is probably involved in some illegal activity (cockfighting, moonshining, or growing marijuana)

One down four to go.
