Police confirmed today that the Kentucky census worker who was found hanging from a tree committed suicide .
fed
The left blamed his death on the anti-tax and spend tea party protesters.
The man wrote “Fed” on his chest (backwards) before he hung himself.

FOX News reported:

A Kentucky Census worker found hanging from a tree with the word “fed” written on his chest killed himself and staged his death to look like a murder, authorities said Tuesday.

Kentucky State Police said Bill Sparkman died at the same location where his body was found Sept. 12 near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of southeastern Kentucky.

A man who found the body in the Daniel Boone National Forest said the 51-year-old was bound with duct tape, gagged and had an identification badge taped to his neck.

Investigators say Sparkman acted alone in manipulating the scene to conceal the suicide.

Sparkman had recently taken out two life insurance policies that would not pay out for suicide, police said.

    I don’t think Andrew Sullivan is going to be very happy to hear this news. But, being the stand-up kind of guy that he is, I’m sure he’ll issue a full-throated apology to all of the folks he accused of being responsible for “murder” in this case…..Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, just to name a few. I’ll bet he’s typing feverishly, as we speak!

    [...] Another crushing blow to liberals today. A Kentucky census worker named Bill Sparkman who’s body was found hanging from a tree with the word “fed” written on his chest killed himself and staged his death to look like a murder, authorities said Tuesday. When Sparkman’s body was first discovered in this condition back on September 12th, liberals, and their mouth pieces and blogs immediately attacked “Right wing extremists”, tea party goers and anti-tax individuals of inciting murder. From Fox News: Anti-government sentiment was initially one possibility in the death. Authorities said Sparkman had discussed perceived negative views of the federal government in the area. [...]

    Libs pounced on this one. Wonder if any will retract some of the crazy accusations.

    Huffpo had this story up today.

    99.9% of the commenters think that the suicide ruling is lies, and that he was killed by rightwingers.

    These leftists are impervious, which is yet another reason I believe they would do the Treblinka thing in the USA in a f*ing New York Second.

    And while they are filling up the mass graves, they will be thinking “This is the right thing to do. It was necessary.” Just as before.

    So here we have had the Libs talking all about how Conservatives are extremists, including high government officials denigrating American citizens.

    Yet we have here an extremist Liberal who went so far as to kill himself to make a point, rather like the jihadis the Libs like to compare Christians to.

    And isn’t it telling that we have the scientists committing fraud, lying, falsifying and hiding data, making numerous false statements to govenment officials and the public in order to obtain public grant money, also for the sake of a Liberal agenda?

    And finally, we have our own Congress running us off the financial cliff on behalf of their Liberal agenda.

    These Liberals are extremist,insane and dishonest.

    “Yet we have here an extremist Liberal who went so far as to kill himself to make a point, rather like the jihadis the Libs like to compare Christians to.”

    LOL!

    Robert, you incredible dope.

    He killed himself to try and collect life insurance for his son. Illegal, fradulent and manipulative, yes; but nowhere in this article–nor in any other article I’ve seen about this–are Sparkman’s politics mentioned. If you can find me one, fine; I’ll change my tune. But I really doubt it. In other words, you’ve almost certainly INFERRED his politics here, rather than draw your conclusion from any evidence.

    Nor is there any inference that his “point,” such as it was, had anything to do with politics. He was trying to dupe a life-insurance company. Period.

    So stop foaming at the mouth and find something to prove me wrong. And again, if you do, I’ll be a big boy and own it. ‘Kay?

    Sorry Just Sayin’, but when this news story first broke the left was accusing the right of doing this. Because he was gay or something to that effect. We can’t say a guy yelling “Allah Akbar” while he shoots a dozen guys in Ft Hood is a terrorist because all the facts aren’t in yet… but it’s perfectly reasonable to blame the right from the get go because some guy was hanged in Kentucky.

    Just Sayin’,

    So far we don’t know Mr Sparkman’s politics. But a lot of folks on the left jumped to some pretty fast conclusions about the politics of his ‘murderers’, who now appear to be nonexistent.

    If you want to direct your righteous indignation somewhere, why don’t you try somewhere appropriate, for a change?

    “Sorry Just Sayin’, but when this news story first broke the left was accusing the right of doing this.”

    While there’s some truth in what you’ve said here, that’s not the issue at hand, Charlie.

    Robert called the late Mr. Sparkman “…an extremist Liberal who went so far as to kill himself to make a point.”

    There is NO evidence at ALL re Sparkman’s politics. That’s in Robert’s rather vacant head.
