update on census taker murdered by glenn beck

By American Girl in Italy on December 13, 2009 at 11:15 PM in Current Affairs

* Bumped Up *

I missed the update on this story while I was vacationing in Prague. Do you remember Bill Sparkman? The census taker/teacher who was found *hanged* with the word FED scrawled in his chest? The one who inspired stories such as these from Daily Kos:

“Census Worker Lynching – Anti-Census Fury?”
“Did Bachmann’s rhetoric play a role in the death of Census worker?”
“Census Worker Found Dead — I Blame Bachmann”

“The Republican Party murdered a census worker Sunday”

“The entire Republican Party has this man’s blood on its hands. If you are a Republican, whether you actively participated in ginning up the insane hatred that claimed this man’s life or merely sat by passively hoping to benefit from the slaughter that others incited, you are just as equally guilty.

Thanks to you, this man’s children are orphans.

Or this: Rick Ungar wrote a piece called Send the body to Glenn Beck in which he declares: “Maybe the time has come for the FCC to worry a bit less about wardrobe malfunctions and a whole lot more about those who would use our airwaves to make a name for themselves at the expense of the public they are suppose to serve – particularly when the expense comes in the form of blood.”

Rachel Maddow and her little friends at msnbc were all too happy to point the fingers at Conservatives, and chalk this all up to anti-government/anti-Obamanisms.

From a post on Protein Wisdom:

When Bill Sparkman was found hanged two months ago, with the word “Fed” written on his chest in marker, the Left was giddy in blaming Republicans, Michelle Malkin, Michelle Bachman, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, teabaggers, yadda yadda yadda.

From Legal Insurrection, Ghouls Preparing To Dance on Sparkman’s Grave

Andrew Sullivan cites “Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk radio cohorts” as the most likely culprit. MyDD uses the death to demand that “Conservatives must stop demonizing the census.” A blogger at Crooks and Liars runs with the theme, arguing that the death is the inevitable result of Census “facts” being “scary things to those wingnuts.” Richard Benjamin at Huffington Post, while acknowledging that it is just as likely Sparkman stumbled onto a meth lab as it is that he was killed by anti-government elements, nonetheless uses the death to “highlight the precarious struggles of the white working class and the brewing storm surrounding the 2010 Census.”

Mark Kleiman writes: “Unless and until contrary facts emerge, I’m prepared to call this a terrorist incident, and to say that Glenn Beck very likely has Bill Sparkman’s blood on his tongue and lips.” Seems to me that the people hoping beyond hope that Sparkman’s death was political are the ones with blood on their tongues and lips.

I could go on, but you get the picture.

This was a comment I left on a Riehl World Views post questioning if perhaps there was more to the story than being portrayed in the media Was Census Worker Bill Sparkman A Child Predator?

I had the same thoughts, Dan. The left is smearing the Right, Beck, Bachmann, Rush, etc. blaming them for the death, just because he had FED written on his chest? The media was in a rush to call him a census worker, although he has three jobs. They had their agenda….

I think the manner of his body was too staged, made to be something it wasn’t. My firsts thought was some sort of sexual situation. I don’t think it is smearing anyone to wonder – it’s not like it doesn’t happen ALL the time. And the police, no doubt, are investigating that possibility.

People who think Riehl is smearing the guy have no problem with the Left smearing those on the Right, blaming them for this.

Heck, I even wondered if his cancer had returned, and he did this to himself. People do weird sh*t all the time. Nobody here knows this guy – so no one can know for sure what happened. ANYTHING is possible.

Hell, who would have believed the guy from Mama’s and the Papa’s was sleeping with his daughter for 10 years!

The post by jpc above is certainly a possible scenario. I agree a drug dealer would have just killed him. I’m obviously no expert, but I have seen enough freaky stuff in the news to question anything and everything.

Well, it was reported on November 24 that it was a suicide.

The Kentucky census worker found hanging from a tree with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest staged his death to look like a homicide so that his son could collect his life insurance, the authorities said Tuesday.

Bill Sparkman’s death had raised concern that he was killed because of his work.

“We believe this was an intentional act,” said Trooper Don Trosper, a Kentucky State Police spokesman. “We believe the aim was to take his own life.”

So, did anyone ever apologize to Beck, Bachmann, Limbaugh, Conservatives? Like I said, I was out of town, so I might have missed a bunch of apologies streaming in from the Left…? I’ve seen updates and retractions, but no apologies. Anyone?

creeper

Apologize? Are you kidding? They buried the real story on page 4.

There was one diary on dKos referencing this after the truth came out. Almost all of the 265 comments were speculation about whether the hanging was actually suicide. They didn’t want to believe it because it didn’t fit their script.

And I thought *I* was paranoid.
Tricia

What a strange story. I was interested in what evidence there was to suggest suicide. It seems compelling. From the NY Times:

The police said they analyzed the ink on Mr. Sparkman’s chest to determine if someone else had written the word. They concluded that the letters had been written from the bottom to the top, which is not how another person would have written them while facing Mr. Sparkman.

The police also found no evidence of a struggle, and there was only Mr. Sparkman’s DNA on the rag in his mouth and near his body.

Mr. Sparkman’s hands were bound, but loosely, allowing him to move them a shoulder-width apart. The police added that they believed Mr. Sparkman had acted alone in manipulating the scene to conceal the suicide.

Not only will they not retract it, they’ll continue to repeat it as gospel.

Or they’ll do a weasel statement like, “Even though in THIS instance the right’s rhetoric didn’t contribute to this man’s death, they are still responsible for the potential fall out from their incendiary statements.” Blah blah blah.

I can’t stand the right, but more and more I’m hating the left with a passion.

jbjd

MsM, I think with the ‘left,’ there is both the act to hate AND the hypocrisy; like adding insult to injury.

jwrjr

Since the “Left” hates the “Right”, all of the smears and outright lies are “morally” justified (to them, anyway).

http://www.saywhatyouwill.proboards.com/ PssttCmere

Anyone watch Law & Order’s take on this last Friday night? Tuesday’s Law & Order SVU could have been part of that too…

elizabethrc

The only people who will report the truth are the Becks of this world. That is something they ought to do in capital letters! They need to call by name every one of the MSM who were so quick to gleefully jump on the right, even when they hadn’t the facts.
I hope to heaven the media organizations which are supporting the Maddow, Matthews/Olberman/Shultz crew get a clue about why their numbers are tanking and get off of this blame the conservatives train. It’s only a matter of time before they are off the air and none too soon.

““We believe this was an intentional act,” said Trooper Don Trosper,a Kentucky State Police spokesman. “We believe the aim was to take his own life.”

We believe? We believe…? Yeah we also believe in UFO’s…. Of course this is the Kentucky State Police and I am not saying they are totally wrong but the “we believe” part does not sound very professional and should not have even been made by the spokesman. what he should have said was no comment the case is still under investigation. The case is not yet closed.

This was a Federal worker. Where is the FBI report?

Peggy Sue

Perhaps this will quell the skepticism:

“Frankfort, Ky.) — The Kentucky State Police Post 11 in London, with the assistance of the FBI, the U.S. Forest Service, the State Medical Examiner’s Office and the Clay County Coroner’s Office, has concluded the investigation into the death of William E. Sparkman, Jr.

The investigation, based upon evidence and witness testimony, has concluded that Mr. Sparkman died during an intentional, self-inflicted act that was staged to appear as a homicide.”

This report has been run by a number of reputable sources. Look it up yourself. Note the word “concluded.” Note the agencies involved.

But if you wish to continue to believe in grand conspiracies or thin investigation efforts, please be my guest. It just makes you look foolish.
http://www.althing.com/governuts West Virginia

He was not a federal worker. He was a school teacher and he had two additional part time jobs, one of which was Census. The Census worker part just fit into the MSM narrative too easily, so his real occupation has been ignored.

Suicide? I suppose if Mr. Sparkman wanted to avoid the appearance of suicide so his family could collect on a life insurance policy, the obvious solution was to ink letters on his chest, gag himself, duct tape his hands, feet, and eyes, tie himself to a tree, and strangle himself with a rope tied around his neck while his feet remained in contact with the ground. Rather than, say, running his car full speed into an overpass support or tree late at night, which would have immediately arroused suspicions that he hadn’t simply dozed off at the wheel. But I won’t second-guess the Kentucky State Police.

To my knowledge, the only things Glenn Beck is responsible for murdering are clear thought and rational discourse.
Smart-Jazz-Just Me

I stand corrected and did not know that the investigation was closed. But its not about conspiracies, its about confidence in the system.

Ever hear of Investigative Reporter Danny Casolaro?

In this case his death was also ruled a suicide. Interesting how he was all wrapped up including embalmed even before his family was notified.

How about the story of the buried Barret 50 cal found during the 2001 Olympics? The governor at the time said it was it would not fire because it was weathered, when it fact is was actually buried in a weather proof case with 300 rounds of armor penetratiors and 300 phosphorous rounds.

How many more examples of stupidity in law enforcement do you want? Does the O.J. Simpson trial bring any confidence to you? How many times have we convicted the wrong person or judged someone wrong?

How about a cop pulling someone over and searching their car based solely on the persons past history? Not crime committed or suspect but just the persons past history.

That is where I am coming from…

Ask any criminal attorney how bad the system is really broken???

Peggy Sue

You should have quit at “I stand corrected.”

Smart-Jazz-Just Me

Like I said ask any criminal lawyer how bad broken the system is. But your shallowness speak volumes….

I could say that the evidence to support suicide fits all to neat for the police. I note that there has been a on-going federal public corruption investigation in Clay County where this happened.

Again I am not saying the LEO’s are totally wrong. But if I were this guys family and with the corruption evident in Clay County, I would get my own folk to take a look at this evidence including the medical and autopsy reports.

However one cannot focus all the blame on Beck, but rather on Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R) MN for the anti-fed and anti-census hysteria….

Peggy Sue

The original comment was on the use of the word “believe” and your assertion that the FBI was not involved in the investigation. We were not in a conversation, regarding the state of the entire justice system.

But please, keep digging your own hole.

The Left’s accusations against Beck and Bachmann was an example of stupid kneejerking at best. And btw, I am not a fan of either.

It was the original fingerpointing that was the point of AGI’s article [in case you missed it].

Smart-Jazz-Just Me

I don’t think it’s a stupid point to make when any elected official makes the remarks that Bachmann made.

And believed is still a word without closure. I recommend that you study some of the so-called suicide findings that turned out to be murder. I was under the impression that the FBI was doing its own investigation, but that was wrong.

But anyone who downplays the type of remarks made by both Beck and Bachmann and or anyone else no matter if left or right is also not playing with all their neurons firing…..

heather

Or you could focus the blame on the folks who decided to politicize the census and take it over. Hmmmm? Beck and Bachmann are pointing out that the census is being misused — if there was anyone worth their salary at any other news network, they wouldn’t be alone in pointing out the hypocrisy.

I have listened to Beck for years. In fact, I enjoy him so much that I download his podcasts to listen to the ENTIRE show every day. He does not espouse hate, he does not encourage violence. He is simply pointing out the truth, and if the truth is hateful to you, you should look to the source of the facts rather than the person who points them out.

http://www.officerdavinabuffjones.com/
here in NC we had a woman police officer killed on Bald Head Island that was wrongly ruled a suicide. I doubt if it ever made the news outside NC.

NomNomNom

There were a couple of apologies, at least, in various degrees of sincerity. (eg
http://themoderatevoice.com/54131/the-census-worker-suicide/; http://www.atlargely.com/atlargely/2009/12/census-worker-death-ruled-suicide.html)
I will agree that most updates were rather tepid.
However, the conflation of the so called progs with leftism as a whole is a gross distortion. Firstly, most left blogs are issue sites and did not even cover the story because it did not fall under their topic of interest (eg, mountain top removal). Of those that did, most left blogs did not run anything like the examples you cite, and do not owe anyone an apology (eg http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/142853/%5Bvideo%5D_anti-government_murder_census_worker_found_dead,_hanging_from_tree_–_%22fed%22_written_on_body/ )

Also, Sparkman’s son and mother do not believe he committed suicide.
The investigation says that he could have merely stood up and not suffocated. I frankly find it hard to believe that a person would not involuntarily stand up if this were true.
jmo, if Sparkman had wanted to commit suicide in a manner that did not look like suicide it would be a lot easier to wreck his car: Clay County is mountainous.
Also, it is not hard to purchase life insurance policies with suicide coverage, and the wait in most policies is only a year.
From whence comes the mystery informant who says Sparkman discussed suicide? Why is he unnamed? What happened to Sparkman’s computer that was missing from its case in his car?

Finally, when it comes to insults, suggesting that Sparkman was a pedophile is far more insulting than any other speculation that I read: it is in short, repulsive and appalling and just plain bizarre–and if anyone owes Sparkman an apology, it is the Riehl World.
The assertion that anti-census sentiment and pedophilia are equivalent in offensiveness is mind-boggling. The death occurred during the anti-census protesting, while people were claiming online they would shoot census takers for trespass.
The assumption that this was a possible or even probable motive for his death is entirely reasonable.

With the ruling of suicide, anyone or blog who pointed a finger at specific individuals such as Bachman may be legally said to be wrong; other than that, not so much.

ziggy

My initial thought was that a census taker had possibly been misidentified as a narc by some paranoid meth lab operator. There’s a history in the area. “FED” wouldn’t necessarily be a political statement.
http://www.sonicninjakitty.wordpress.com Sonic Ninja Kitty

Nom Nom Nom, I think you and Smart Jazz are onto something.

In this backwoods area of KY, there are meth labs, marijuana farms, and the kind of people you’d never meet on polite message boards like this. The stakes are huge. There is also such a thing as corruption. In this area, local law enforcement probably knows all about these illegal enterprises. But money talks. It is not a stretch to imagine they look the other way or are on the take somehow. Just sayin’.

To tie this case up in a neat little package as a “suicide” solves many sticky problems for ALL layers of law enforcement, even though NONE of the evidence points conclusively to this and much of the evidence suggests murder. Move along, everyone–nothing to see here. Yeah, right.

Bill Sparkman was an outsider. He was warned about this area he was working in, but perhaps he was a little too optimistic about people. Personally, I think he was just a nice man trying to make ends meet who happened to see something he should not have and got murdered for it. Unfortunately, the dead cannot speak for themselves. Poor, poor man. God bless your soul–rest in peace, Mr. Sparkman.

BINKY

There’s probably far less corruption in our backwoods area of the state than in many states–uh, New Jersey comes to mind. Certainly no more corruption than in any other state. There are areas of my state that I wouldn’t go into alone, but there are areas of Any Place, USA, that I wouldn’t venture into alone.

“there are meth labs, marijuana farms, and the kind of people you’d never meet on polite message boards like this.” Puh..leese. Unique to the “backwoods” of Eastern Kentucky?

You have stereotyped Kentuckians just like so many liberals. (I remember during the primaries at one of the liberal blogs people like me were described as ignorant white trailer trash. Both of my children, raised in these backwoods, graduated from college; I have a Master’s Degree, my husband has a Master’s Degree; and my older son is working on his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan.)

But, I too sometimes make remarks off the top of my head without fully thinking it through as I think you’ve done this time, so you’re forgiven.

NomNomNom

as a hillbilly myself (NC x WV hybrid), I would have to say that there are plenty of areas in the mountains where people do not take a quick liking to outsiders.
I don’t have a supposition as to why Sparkman was killed. but I dowonder if he were not killed. The authorities have a vested interest in finding suicide as the cause because that way there is no impact on tourism or any further investigation, & Clay County has had its problems, as you point out, like so many other places.
http://www.sonicninjakitty.wordpress.com Sonic Ninja Kitty

Of course criminals are found everywhere! But Mr. Sparkman was murdered in that area, so that is why my comment was about that area.

Rather than ‘backwoods’, I probably should have used the term ‘sparsely populated’. It was not meant as an intellectual disparagement and it is unfortunate you took it that way. It is a description of the vegetation, not the people. But if I’d used ‘sparsely populated’ someone else would probably say I’d implied people are not socially well adjusted or something. Oh well.

So are there or are there not meth labs and marijuana farms in that area? Hey, there could be one in my next door neighbor’s basement, but the likelihood of a census worker accidentally discovering it is probably slimmer than if it were in a ‘sparsely populated’ area because it would have to be much more consistently hidden. You don’t need to read anything else into it.

BINKY

I live near the area where Bill Sparkman was found. When I read the first account of the discovery of Mr. Sparkman’s body, my first thought was that he had stumbled upon a “pot” field.

The leftist bloggers and talking heads sure showed their ignorance when they started blaming Beck, Bachmann, Limbaugh, or Conservatives? We don’t refer to Census Workers as “Feds.” A moonshiner or pot grower would describe DEA or ATF as “Feds,” not a Census Worker.

Kentucky has excellent medical examiners. Emily Craig, well known and well respected in the field, is the Forensic Anthropologist for the Kentucky State Medical Examiner; read her book, Teasing Secrets from the Dead–it will give you confidence in the finding of suicide rather than homicide.

Oops, Binky–now I’ve got to eat some of my words! No insult intended!
Smart-Jazz-Just Me

Blaming Bachmann was simple… she opened her mouth with stupidity about the census. She of all people should know better. There is no excuse for her remarks. Beck and the others are not elected officials…Thank God for that…

I am sure Emily Craig is very good but as in the Casolaro case and many others …things are many times not what they appear or are made to appear a certain way. The best have been fooled.. I cite the OJ Case again. Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, is also very well respected and we know how that ended.

Once again I would still get my own folk involved to review the files. If they confirm the reports then all should be satisfied.

BINKY

So law enforcement, the US Forest Service and medical examiners in the state of Kentucky are corrupt and conspired to come up with the conclusion that Bill Sparkman committed suicide? That’s a pretty big conspiracy.

As I said, census workers aren’t described as “feds” in eastern Kentcky (or anywhere in Kentucky that I know of) as the overwhelming majority of census workers are local people. Only an outsider would desribe a census worker as a fed! Mr. Sparkman would probably not have known that.

I personally don’t like the idea of the Census being headed up by Acorn, directly accountable to President Obama. The Census should be nonpartisan. I’ve heard Beck and Bachmann and didn’t go get my gun in case a Census worker came to my door. We are not a weak-minded people in Kentucky; we’re actually a pretty independent-minded bunch, and we pretty much mind our own business as well as abide by the law. So I doubt if Glenn Beck, Bachmann, or Limbaugh could incite us to go after census workers who, by the way, might be our next door neighbor or our relative. Yes, we have murders in Kentucky, but they’re usually personal.

Again, even the underbelly would not have described a Census Worker as a fed!

Smart-Jazz-Just Me

Sorry your confusing what I am saying as conspiracy… None is implied here…

getfitnow

After the recent report of suicide, I woke up one night and turned the radio on. Actually, it was probably Thanksgiving weekend. I was tuning in to Coast to Coast, but as I scanned the dial, I stopped for an instant at the local liberal station–Green960. I stopped listening to liberal/npr during the campaigns ’08. Anyway, on air was a replay of a Mike Malloy show. He was on such a rant about this. I thought it was so outrageous that they would play this show in light of the facts that had just come out. Anyway, it just reinforced my decision not to tune in again.

5. He is a Citizen of the World rather than a bona fide American

6. He is the bottom to a dangerous bureaucrat named Pelosi

7. He is madly in love with himself and craves to be worshiped

8. He deceived us into believing he is something he is not

9. He takes his marching orders from Global Predator Soros inter alia

I happened to be looking at some of the trials which arose under colonial law as a part of a larger project. The working premise is the path of the law tends to reflect the zeitgeist of the era.

One of the cases I looked at was the Salem witch trial and all that went on there. Seventeen people five of them men were hung as witches. Others went clinically insane. They were accused and if they confessed and implicated others then they were spared the gallows. If they did not confess they were convicted on the basis of spectral evidence, which is to say evidence that cannot be seen, but is manifest through its effects.

Boston theologian Cotton Mather was in the middle of this and was part of the problem. Thus it fell upon his own father, also a theologian from the Puritan school to write it is better that 10 witches go free than that one innocent be convicted–from whence cometh the common phrase that it is better that ten guilty men go free than that one innocent man be convicted.

The hysteria died down finally, when he charges spread to established members of the community including the governors wife, and when people stood up to power and refused to confess.

Nunc pro tunc. Then as now. Today, the false charge made by thugs is not witchcraft but racism. It was a central attack by the Obama campaign. See Professor Wilentz–Race Man. Ultimately common sense prevails over magic thinking. I think that is happening right now.
Ginger Snaps Back

There is no love lost between me and Beck, between me and Hannity, me and Malkin, or between me and O’Reilley. However, I’ve now come to depend on them to give me bits and pieces of the “news” that I can’t get from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc… etc…

As much as I dislike their right tilting personas, I must admit, they are doing something 99% of commentators or “journalist” are not. I would rather watch/listen them than Maddon, Matthews or Cooper. Like their politics or not, Beck, Malkin and the rest are at least attempting to do their jobs and/or spread the truth. For that I am indebted to them.

To accuse any of them of participating in this tragedy is shameful. Not to apologize is a crime.

Truth be told, I used to hate listening to the Becks and Malkins spew their poison. Now I realize I was programmed to think of it as “poison.”

The truth hurts. It does for me and I hope it does for the left tilting liberals that still have their heads stuck in the sand.

WMCB

Ginger, if a Republican is in office, its useful to listen to MSNBC, because they will dig up the truth and call him/her out. They did a good job on Bush.

If a Democrat is in office, then Fox is the only one who will tell the truth, and MSNBC goes into “support mode”, just as Fox was during the Bush administration.

Once you understand and accept their respective biases, and realize that they are only looking for truth if the OTHER team is in office, then you can pretty much get news – so long as you filter it through your own brain, and check out lots of sources both right AND left.

I had not heard the final verdict either. Sad that a man took his own life.

http://sarainitalyblog.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

i agree it was sad someone committed suicide – for his family.

i do not feel much sympathy for someone who tried to frame someone for a murder, though.
