I know many of you hate when freep comments are posted, but regarding the hanged census worker--

[Mrs. Overall]

I think it's important to see the reactions on the freep site. These people are extremists and apologists for violence. This is what keeps Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly on the air. It makes me ill.

from the freep site:

Someone with the inside scoop on ACORN?

Sorry, but I can’t help but think-— when somebody tells you to get off of their porch, you really should leave.

I can easily picture a pushy ACORN type person pushing the wrong buttons in the rural South. Hanging the worker is a bit extreme. What do you want to bet that this is labeled a hate crime?

Maybe the perpetrator ran out of paint before finishing, “Fed up with nosy questions.”

If this guy was black, and if he was left hanging from a southern tree, pretty soon we’ll be hearing a revival of “Strange Fruit” on Air America.

I think that a person would have a good reason to be paranoid about a 2010 census worker showing up on his doorstep in 2009.

Census workers are already out there? I thought the 2010 census happened in 2010?
Anyway, this is probably one of the soon to be numerous false flags telegraphed by Pelosi in her recent academy award performance.

it's that right-wing violence nancy pelosi was weeping over.
Like, please, wtf has the fact that he was a census worker got to do with it? He probably grew tomatoes at home. Why didn't the call say, "Amatuer Gardner hanged...."?

Of course lynching does create some problems beyond just shooting... I have never gotten into the sport, but it seems to me that lynching would be too much work and take much of the fun out of it. Now if you don't mind, I'm going back under the house to finish burying a few more bodies.

1. Wow. So lynching is a "sport" now?

Is that offered through the rec department.

What the hell is wrong with these sick bastards?

[Libertas1776]

3. "Southern trees bear strange fruit"

I guess some Southern "traditions" die hard.

[BlooInBloo]

2. "Hanging the worker is a bit extreme." - (facepalm)

[TeaBagsAreForCups]

25. Nice catch....

... I had the same reaction when I read it originally over at the cesspool itself.

Only "a bit extreme" !

I started laughing so loud that my secretary came in to see just what was so funny.

[ddeclue]

4. Are the SPLC, FBI and SS monitoring FR yet?

If not someone should clue them in.

[anigbrowl]

41. I dunno, why not ask them?

Given that someone asks this question on DU about once every 48 hours, I'm guessing the answer is yes.

[TheWraith]

5. This is continuing to get worse.

I have a really sick feeling about this.

[graywarrior]

6. What? I've heard them call it "Coon Hunting" in mid Florida.

It IS a sport as far as they're concerned.

[AllentownJake]

7. Dupe

So if they hang the workers counting rural areas and less workers are willing to work in said areas, they will have less representation in Congress.

They do realize this don't they?

:shrug:

[AllentownJake]

8. They do realize that the Census determines representation in Congress

So if they hang the workers counting rural areas and less workers are willing to work in said areas, they will have less representation in Congress.

They do realize this don't they?

[ddeclue]

11. probably not n/t

[drm604]

13. They believe the census takers are actually sizing them up for cells in the relocation camps. n/t

[AllentownJake]

16. Killing someone will probably get someone in a detention camp n/t

[Beaverhausen]

9. Note how one of them mentions Pelosi. This is the new meme- any violence is her fault

because of what she said the other day. The right are simply incapable of EVER taking responsibility for what they do.

[missing topic]

10. Well, at the risk of being labeled a FREEP, as some are wont to do

I am always very wary of jumping to conclusions on why things happen in this country and world. If there is such a thing as an Illuminati, it's very possible that they do these kinds of things in order to give unhinged folks ideas along the same lines.

[Mrs. Overall]

12. Get your head out of "The DaVinci Code" and read a fucking US History book.

[AllentownJake]

14. 1 post and knows the terms on here

Raising huge red flags without even the content of your post.

17. And put freep in capital letters.

20. Please elaborate..

I really want you to.

[myrna minx]

23. I do too!

:D

[myrna minx]

21. You are wary of people jumping to conclusions and then speculate that the Illuminati

may be responsible for this heinous murder? :rofl:

[AllentownJake]

22. Is Glenn Beck posting on Du? nt

[madeline_con]

33. He's too busy pushing Yom Kippur as a day of prayer and fasting

I hope you keep the lols coming with your next attempt here, too!

30. Worst Troll Ever

[BlooInBloo]

31. Sure - but I appreciate a laugh, if they're going to be on their way out anyway.

[madeline_con]

29. The illuminati hanged a census worker to "give unhinged folks ideas"???

Are you out of your mind?

Awesome first post. :rofl:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

32. You've got the right screen name

Ha Ha.......

[provis99]

39. god, the freeper trolls are getting stupider.

Now they can't even last ONE post before they expose their hugh moran asses. Come on you trolls, at least make it to ten posts beofre you expose your stupidity!

[AlienGirl]

42. That was even more pathetic than a freeper!

There is a fairly big conspiracy/woo-woo site out there where the admin believes DUers are "The Powers That Be" who have targeted his site for termination. I don't want to drive traffic there by posting that site's link, but it's fairly easy to find (just do a Google search for "conspiracy forum" and it is the third site linked). This poster was very likely one of their members, out to engage in board-war against the reptilian Illuminati of DU.

15. They're obscene...that's all.

Obscene.

[noiretextatique]

27. excellent description

:puke:

[stuball111]

24. Is this the "AMERICA" they want back when they say...

"I want my country back?" Gee...I guess they long for the "good ol days" of lynching, segregation,murder etc. What a great country THAT was!

[lib_wit_it]

47. That is exactly the country they long to have back. Weren't no uppity n____ even thinkin' 'bout

bein' president of this Aryan nation back in the day.

How can they be so delusional as to deny racism in much of the anti-Obama sentiment. Or to question the anti-government angle in the murder of a guy who was found hanged with fed scrawled on his chest? If those details are, in fact, correct. that is. There now seems to be some insinuation that they are not. But these vile comments by freepers are pertaining to the details as originally presented. It's extremely depressing.

[noiretextatique]

26. they are petulant children, albeit sociopathic ones

each one tries to be more vile and disgusting than the other one. a bunch of pathetic losers.

[Berry Cool]

35. You said it.

Laughing and making jokes about a man hanged to death. Sick fucks.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

34. "He probably grew tomatoes at home. Why didn't the call say, "Amatuer Gardner hanged...."? "

It takes a special kind of stupid to come up with that. I almost have to admire the abject idiocy that can formulate that shit.

[WonderGrunion]

44. I'm not going to create a dummy account over there to reply to them

But if he had a note pinned to him saying "Beefsteak", then maybe the amateur gardener connection may have been examined more closely. :eyes:

[mzmolly]

36. I find myself using the word "vile" all to often lately.

:(

[rockymountaindem]

37. What the hell are they talking about?

What happened while I was out of the house?

[Mrs. Overall]

38. A census worker was found dead, hanging in a tree with the words FED on him.

It was in a rural part of Kentucky.

[mazzarro]

40. The Most Reprehensible Group Of People

These idiots are the so called God fearing people - buffoons, that is what they are - all of them. They claim to want to show the rest of us how much godly they are and this is how - lacking empathy for inhumane brutality! No atom of humanity in them! Unashamedly they show their faces in the public to yell and tell us how much offended they are with us liberals for not accepting their dictates! I detest them without bounds!

[The Wizard]

43. One thing FreeRepublic does

is provide a portal to track down dangerous crack pots should that become necessary. They sound like al Qeada.

[Mrs. Overall]

45. A few more freep comments:

From reports I've been hearing, Census Takers have been asking entirely too many questions of normal, everyday Americans. There's no way I'd go back into the hills of Appalachia and ask anybody anything!!!
I feel sorry for him (more so for his family) but in point of fact, he was taking Census Information for the Federal Government in an area that has been, for centuries, a "very private" place. As Forrest Gump would say, "Stupid is as Stupid Does"...

Appalachians have always wanted to be left alone. Our media really stinks.

Maybe this would be a good area for ACORN workers to utilized in Census collecting?
16 posted on Thursday, September 24, 2009 5:09:32 AM by mentor2k


I think most Americans want to be left alone especially today.

I take it Sparkman was white, otherwise this would be a breaking news/noose hate crime.
29 posted on Thursday, September 24, 2009 5:30:58 AM by maggief


It’s obvious that ACORN and their violent followers are upset about the Census move, and are sending a message — restore us or else. Much like union thugs beat up scabs, ACORN could well be going after the census workers to scare them off so the Census has no choice but to re-hire ACORN.
