When you write angry, bitter partisan trash like Chris Worden did over at IPOPA in a piece entitled:
Horrific Census Work Death: Would Murder Surprise Anyone?
In it, Worden writes:
As you probably know by now, a U.S. Census worker was found in Big Creek, Kentucky naked and gagged, hanging from a tree with his census badge taped to his body and the word "fed" written across his chest.
The part I like is how the local authorities say they haven't ruled out suicide by Bill Sparkman, the substitute teacher and Boy Scout leader trying to earn extra cash doing door-to-door questioning in an area known for anti-government sentiment.
The Associated Press story features an intriguing suggestion that Mr. Sparkman might have inadvertently come across a marijuana harvest, but it's not clear to me how anybody would have thought the jig was up because somebody came to the door unless they were growing pot in the living room, in which case, one wonders why they would have answered.
If this case is solved, we will learn that a bunch of anti-government crazies who were whipped into a lather by right-wing radio decided they were mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.
We got your message, so you can stop now. You really, really hate America.
To me, this is worse than lefties blaming the Oklahoma City bombing on conservative talk radio, mainly because Worden has attempted to position himself as some sort of reasoned pundit.
The truth is now out, and it appears Worden is no different than the raving lunatics who inhabit places like "Democratic Underground" and "DailyKos". Perhaps his writing skills are a bit bettter, but his rhetoric is unacceptable.
Because of this, I am removing all links to IPOPA from this blog and disassociating myself from IPOPA. Not that I think Worden will either notice or care, but I cannot accept that sort of immaturity.
