 Bill Sparkman at work as a teacher |
When Bill Sparkman told retired trooper Gilbert Acciardo that he was going door-to-door collecting census data in rural Kentucky, the former cop drew on years of experience for a warning: “Be careful.”
The 51-year-old Sparkman was found this month hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest…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.
The Census Bureau has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, until the investigation is complete, an official said…
The Census Bureau has yet to begin door-to-door canvassing for the 2010 head count, but thousands of field workers are doing smaller surveys on various demographic topics on behalf of federal agencies. Next year, the Census Bureau will dispatch up to 1.2 million temporary employees…
Census work wasn’t Sparkman’s full-time job. He also was a substitute teacher and an Eagle Scout who volunteered for the Boy Scouts.
Obviously part of the Socialist Conspiracy.
Then again, I wouldn’t want to be doing the census in downtown Detroit either.
What wasn’t mentioned and needs to be found out is whether the census guy
was GPS tagging the front door.
AFAIK, the door to door “interviews”
are mainly to GPS tag the house for reasons you-all can speculate on,
but for which seems highly unnecessary and cost excessive.

It’s despicable to politicize this act of stupidity. If you turn a Fox News anchor upside down, they look like Eidard.
#3 “So this guy wasn’t doing the work of the Census, but he was doing unconstitutional surveys in the off season. Not an excuse to kill him, but he is hardly spotless in this himself.”
How was he violating the constitution? This guy wasn’t doing anything that the Mormans do. It’s not unconstitutional to go door to door and ask questions.
Ah-yeah #21…Detroit: that’s where Acorn came in handy.
Oh, my favorite! It’s jump to conclusions time! Just like when that girl had that letter B carved into her face. Obviously, the girl’s story was true and there was no other possibility of what could have happened. That’s clearly the case here.
My guess is that someone like Dallas and bunch of his Deliverance type hill jack friends did it after sodomizing him.

Naaa, Eidard has a thicker beard. I understand all FOX hosts and anchors have to shave to at least a landing pact.
And Eidhard’s nose is definitely bigger than the biggest male FOX anchor upside down appendage could be. More useful too.
The best resemblance though would be the FOX’s brainiest part would be on top, similar to Eidhard on his feet.
But even the biggest yawn would still make Eidhard smaller than an upside down FOX female anchor or host. (You know how their boss is)
What does a FOX anchor say after sex?
Are you guys all on the same team?
#3 “unconstitutional surveys in the off season. Not an excuse to kill him, but he is hardly spotless in this himself.”
Screw off you rightwing wack job. How is a door to door survey “unconstitutional”?
The guy was doing his job and someone killed him. He was spotless.
Only a right wing, sister screwing, moron hillbilly would think any different.
I think I hear your sister calling.
Has anyone every looked backed over a thread and read what assholes we can be? I include myself in that. We like to post about problems, but sometimes I wonder if we aren’t the biggest problem of all.
I say arrest Michele Bachmann and charge her with incitement to murder.
To kill a snake you cut off its head. She’s intellectually bankrupt, psychotic nasty piece of work.
You might check her whereabouts too, was she in Kentucky recently?
Check on Cantor, DeMint too.
racism…
#29, the only time a Census worker needs to come over is every ten years to ask how many people live at that address. The article said that was not what he was doing.
I said it was wrong to kill him.
#33–Benji–you also said he wasn’t spotless. What did you mean by that?
Well it is Kentucky after all.
“I once got caught smuggling books into Kentucky, I got off on a technicality though, they couldn’t prove they were books….”

So…. we have overly-large, oppressive Orwellian government, and we got people killing the flunkies of said tyrannical government. Where are the brakes on this thing?
I’m sure alfredone endorse this murder, just like he endorse murdering abortion doctors.
Just saw the local news report he in Cincinnati, OH. The say that it was originally ruled a Suicide. Until someone leaked the part of Fed written on him. FBI said it still could be a Suicide. I think they said he may have had cancer but was in remission. So it may not be murder at all.
Expect this to show up on DailyKos, Bill Maher and the other left-wingers. Hmm… could this have been staged by them? Acorn was supposed to be working the census, and they’ve been getting an awful lot of negative press lately.
Smells like BS. Another Rodney King type of story, I’ll wait and see what really happened, if it really was anti-Government you hear alot about it when they arrest someone, and it will be someone they won’t let this go unless it’s something else totally.
Whatever………………………………
