A U.S. Census worker found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.

The Associated Press: AP source: Census worker hanged with 'fed' on body
A few months back, Michelle Bachmann was a guest on Glenn Beck rallying against the census for no particular reason other than simply wanting to be anti-goverment or some vague anti-immigration thing. This kind of irresponsible and nonsensical garbage is commonplace, but it's been suggested that these kinds of things could incite radical militants into action. It seems fairly obvious that the murder of the census worker was motivated by anti-government sentiment (I'm not investigating, but based on the available evidence that seems the most likely conclusion to be drawn).
If it can be established that Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck inspired this attack, is there any legal mechanism to prevent them from inciting further violence/murders? What's your take on this? Am I just seeing a connection that's not there?
