This is on you Glenn Beck

And Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and Fox News. Your pandering to right wing extremists with hate filled diatribes and extremist conspiracy mongering now has another name on its death toll. A 51 year old single father making ends meet for his family with a second job. His body was found September 12th – the day of the tea-bagger’s march on Washington.
Census Worker Hanged: Bill Sparkman Found With "Fed" On Body

WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery, and a law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word 'fed" was scrawled on the dead man's chest.

The body of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and occasional teacher, was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky. The Census has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Spreading insane conspiracy theories about FEMA concentration camps, arguing that the President and the government are foreign, alien conspiracies with no legitimacy, promoting and enabling extremist movements. Can it be any kind of surprise that this insane rhetoric leads to violence?

These media vultures should be forced to look Bill Sparkman's children in the eye and explain why they pandered to the hateful ideas behind their father's death.

UPDATE: In June, Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann suggested the census would lead to internment camps. She is responsible for this man death, and so is the Republican Party for putting up with her insanity.
