Census Worker found hanged

AP source: Hanged Census worker had 'fed' on chest - Yahoo! News

this looks suspicious to me. You know...like when some little black hoodlum is shot and killed while robbing or killing someone else, then the momma comes out and says he was studying for the ministry or some such bs. This guy was a substitute teacher? part time census worker? 51 years old? living in mama's basement? Says he has a son in this or another piece. Sounds like a real winner. What concerns me is the apparent attempt to blame conservatives for it.

If it goes away quick, he has ties to ACORN. If it's still in the news next week, he voted for McCain.

Somehow i suspect he didn't vote for McCain.

Locke called him "a shining example of the hardworking men and women employed by the Census Bureau."

A man supporting himself with two part-time jobs is a "shining example" of a hard working person?

I think yall are missing something important. The man was hanged. Characterizations of his life, career or lack of either are needlessly harsh and heartless hyperbole. If he was killed then I say find whodunit. If he hung himself then I feel for the pain he must have been in and pray for mercy on him.
Now IF and I stress the word IF he was murdered and some loony wrote FED on his chest then we have a right wing moron or left wing moron that is making a point or trying to damage the other side, respectively. ( I say this because of the FED on his chest)

If this is a right wing hater then we will see this magnified to no end. If it is a left wing zealot trying to make it look like a right wing moron it will be a footnote on all but Rush, Glenn, and maybe Hannity's shows. We might see it on Fox a while as well. What a mess that we have become when we see things like this tragedy through a political prism.

Very elitist statement as I see it. Maybe this is the best he could do.

Actually, the article seems to indicate that it was just generally an anti-government area - regardless of "sides."

[TxBrewer]

then that is right wing by the standards of MSM

But wouldn't the MSM make it clear, if it was "right wing?"

[Caroline]

If anyone is viewing it thru a political prism then i have to ask why that might be? Cause maybe the MSM has Done this BS BEFORE?? What i note about the article is not much on facts but a lot of conjecture and fantasy and a bit of media bias mixed with hope for a lot of jumping to conclusion.

I'm still watching. It's not against the law to remark on the lack of credibility. It still wouldn't surprise me to find out this guy committed suicide OR MURDERED with no connection to his job or politics or whatever. what i see is a opportunistic media.
