It may be worth noting that Clay County was the place where a cabal of GOP election officials --posing as "Democrats"--engaged in rigging the elections of 2002, 2004 and 2006, and were indicted for it just last March:
http://markcrispinmiller.com/2009/03/kentucky-election-officials-arrested-and-more/ http://markcrispinmiller.com/2009/05/kentucky-election-thief-pleads-guilty/ http://markcrispinmiller.com/2009/03/in-clay-county-gop-election-fraudsters-pose-as-democrats/ Perhaps it's pertinent to note also that the GOP's election fraud has long required prevention of a proper census, which would provide an accurate count of all the voters, or potential voters, really out there. With such a count, it would be easier to spot suspicious numbers in elections. Hence the GOP's ongoing drive to de-fund, interfere with, and discredit the US Census Bureau. Now, unless Bill Sparkman actually scrawled "fed" on his own chest before he hanged himself, the man was murdered; and such a deed may either have been perpetrated by some random nut, or by a random nut impelled by the Republican crusade against the Census Bureau; or by somebody else. In any case, this actually is not the first time that a government employee not in law enforcement has been murdered by right-wing extremists. So maybe this event is one that should be bigger news, and the immediate focus of a real investigation. MCM Report: Census Worker In KY Had Been Warned To Be Careful By Mark Memmott http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/09/report_census_worker_in_kentuc.html As Frank said yesterday, much still isn't known about the death of Census field worker Bill Sparkman in Clay County, Ky. His body was discovered Sept. 12. Yesterday, it was reported that he was found hanged and that the word "fed" had been written on his chest. Today on Federal News Radio, news director Ted Werbin of WHAS-radio in Louisville reported that Sparkman had told others he had been warned by a retired state trooper to be careful in rural Clay County because some people there aren't fond of anyone from the federal government. Still, it's important to note that authorities do not yet know what happened to Sparkman.
