If there are indeed monsters fueling hatred and ignorance, perhaps those who promote the irresponsible fantasy of some "Great Tea-bagger Menace" should take a hard look in the mirror. How are your voices are any less dangerous? "Light them torches and throw a rope over a tree branch… we gonna hang us some tea-baggers tonight!"


The purpose of the OP was blatantly divisive. The author assumed he must insert his propaanda in an undeveloped breaking story. How could he pass up the opportunity to exploit a mysterious death of an innocent civil servant set in the back-woods of Kentucky? ... Yellow journalism is alive and well.


After all, the letters F E D were carved in the poor man's chest... CARVED I TELL YOU! (oh sorry, it was from a felt-tip pen). And don't most of those gun-lovin religious nuts who wield their tea-bags all willy-nilly, running amok and possibly potentially maybe might-be some-day killing future probable persons by the thousands… wait !... could be MILLIONS!… don't THEY come from places like Kentucky? Of course they do! It makes perfect sense... just like creating and saving jobs. It all makes perfect sense.


And BTW – what does Beck and Bachmann have to do with any of this? Exactly which deaths are they responsible for? Produce the evidence. It's simply not there. I’d rather hear you explain why your inflammatory speech is less threatening than those you wish to silence. From the tone of this discussion, I’d say more.


Perhaps if this was the 1940's, and I was a Japanese-American citizen, and ... Golly, I need to stop my whining! The suspension of their collective rights as United States citizens was justified because they looked like real Japanese and (at least) a historically substantiated event demonstrated that lots of genuine Japanese really did kill several non-imaginary Americans at the actual un-fake place called Pearl Harbor.
