All we care about is why this man was killed - who was responsible and what could have possibly motivated them to commit such a horrendous crime. Media spin is not something harmless - it's called propaganda and its dangerous. It can drive people to do thing they would never have otherwise considered doing.

When you rant on a daily basis that the government is going to take away your gun, rob you, put you in a concentration camp, and destroy the United States someone is going to get killed.

It's called common sense. The guy has FED carved into his chest. Why would anyone murder a census worker as a government agent?

Well for starters, you cannot assume that he was murdered simply because he was a government employee. Diverting attention from the true motive is a method used since crime has existed.

Secondly, there are numerous reasons that he could have been killed. For instance, he came across a moonshine operation and the operator assumed that he would report it to the authorities. He came across a drug growing operation and same situation. He came across a drug manufacturing operation and same situation. He came across a human smuggling operation and same situation. He came across a crime in progress and same situation.

Or he came across a government operation and same situation.

Or this isn't what it is being said to be and was designed to make people leap to conclusions and target those who oppose large government and big brother.

Where would anyone get the idea that a census worker is someone to hate and fear?

You obviously aren't familiar with life outside of the city. Or life in the inner city for that matter. All government agents are suspect to some groups. And all witnesses are suspect to other groups. Plenty of reasons to kill, most of them are economically related. Drugs, moonshine, smuggling, doing 10-20 in the state pen. A whole lot of reasons.

Please give me another explanation besides a network with millions of viewers across the country tuning in to know who "threatens their way of life."

Feast on my above statements.

I don't have a problem with the census. As long as they do their constitutional job...which is an enumeration of the people. When they go past that then we have a problem.

Too many times a deed is done, then masked to implicate others.

Anybody remember the Manson murders?

An abortionist is murdered....blame FOX News
A Census worker is murdered....blame FOX News
A Pro-Life protester is murdered.....who do we blame? Oh wait we can't blame anyone because this story was never covered by the drive-by media.

A tad peeved? Yes.

Homicidal? Are you kidding me?

Face it, the right wing fear machine is in full swing, they are doing everything they can to turn people against the democratic government, and innocent people are suffering because of it.

This is a sad state of affairs where people in this country are justifying the murder of innocent people simply because they want to collect information for the census. It makes me consider getting the hell out of the US while I still can.

Let's just go ahead and blame the true culprit.......

Ron Paul....I heard he doesn't like the fed too much either.

Really

When you are in the shape the Democrat Party is in right now the last option is the blame game.

Mr. Obama has mastered this game.

You are using an innocent mans death to push your agenda.

Maybe you've got it backwards.

Maybe it was done to get people like you to do exactly what you are doing right now.

Who is justifying cold blooded murder?

What SOME of us are NOT doing is using a man's gruesome death to push an agenda.

The South shall rise again?

Hmmmm
