Should an entire Kentucky community take the blame?
(Page 2 of 2)
At the London exit off I-75, there is a Starbucks, that
ubiquitous symbol of 21st-century
American civilization. Drive east for 20 minutes, and the parkway
exit at Manchester is surrounded by other all-American
enterprises like Wal-Mart, McDonald's,
Subway and Wendy's. Teenage boys hang
around the shopping center near the Family Dollar store after
school, riding their skateboards on the sidewalk.
Yesterday, I ate supper at the Pizza Hut in Manchester,
where people were clearly more concerned about the Clay County
High School football team--"Once A Tiger, Always A
Tiger,"the
waitress's T-shirt declared--than with"anti-government
sentiment."
When police finally make an arrest in
Sparkman's death, the suspect will be
considered innocent until proven guilty.
Shouldn't the same be true for the rest
of Clay County?
A local authority said he might have been the victim of an
accident. Righty, he just happened to write 'fed' on his chest,
and was inspecting a noose on a branch-- and then his head fell
into it. Oops a daisy.
DUH!
Candice Collins| 9.29.09 @ 4:28PM
I appreciate the fact this guy talked about the good people of
Clay County by mentioning the Pizza Hut Waitress with Tigers on
her shirt! I lived in Clay County most of my life and I
understand there has been a lot of violence and corruption but to
me it isn't any more than what happens everywhere else in this
world. I love Clay County. I graduated High School there and our
class was full of very intelligent people. I don't know the
numbers, but I know there were many graduated with honors. There
are a lot of wonderful people in Clay County. I feel really bad
for Mr. Sparkman's family and wish it had never happened, of
course, but in the same sense I don't feel the media has a clue
about what's going on in Clay County and shouldn't be talking
about the place like it's from the movie Wrong Turn. This man's
death was very unfortunate and I hope they put his killer/killers
behind bars and I pray his family will make it through this hard
time. I hope one day Clay county will be able to make a good name
for itself. I believe we are on the right track. Our Mayor has
done a lot for the county.

S.L. Toddard| 9.29.09 @ 8:49AM
What if it turns out that the murderers *were* hard-core Right
Wing militants, 9/12ers, "birthers" and so forth. What if it were
proven beyond any doubt that these men were inspired by
crazy-talk about Marxist takovers, Liberty Tree-watering and
Islamofascist Manchurian Candidates? In that case, RSM and
everyone else would just say "We can't control how some
individual nuts misinterpret our message, or what they do
afterward".
My point being that no matter who committed the murder, and no
matter for what reason, no one at AmSpec, NRO or any other
establishment GOP organ will blame the poison flowing from the
right wing media sewer anyway, so why go through the motions
here? There is absolutely NO scenario whereby anyone here will
blame anyone on (what now passes for) the right, so why bother?
Toddard the Pro Troll| 9.29.09 @ 11:21AM
Toddard you are so transparent.
The poison flows from sites like Kos, the violence from lefty
groups like SEIU (beating a black man insensible outside a town
hall meeting, biting fingers off the elderly) and ACORN.
The racism, race baiting and class warfare comes from the left.
The oppression of minorities comes from the left who use them as
useful idiots in their quest for more power and wealth.
The KKK and Black Panthers are both democrat only social clubs,
with one Klaven founder still serving in the senate with Robt.
Byrd...
The only threat of violence comes from the left. The histronics
of Pelosi, who somehow forgot Dan White and his twinkie defense
were both products of the left (don't forget White was a Dem as
the most powerful botox addict in the world did).
Stick your violence up your liberal rear end where it belongs.
This has all the trappings of a disgruntled ACORN worker(s)
commiting a hate crime against a part time white worker and
attempting to provoke a response from the Obama administration
& his Brown Shirt Janet Reno replacement at Homeland
Security.
What a tool you are Doddering Toaddard. You are surely making
your living as a government parasite, part of the rot whithin
that needs to be cut out.
Toddard the Tumor.

AS isn't Scientific American, they are not objective, some here

Such is called market segmentation, it mirrors our Darwinian

chopped into pieces.

Rumor Mill| 9.29.09 @ 7:26PM
I heard that the murder might be done in protest to President
Adams, President Jefferson and President Madison initiating
undeclared wars. Apparently these early presidents were all
unaware of the great constitutional scholar S. L. Toddard and his
position on undeclared wars and the Constitution. Anyways the
murderer had been following some of the brilliant writings of
Toddard went and found the first Fed he could find and did him in
as a demonstration against the crimes of the Quasi-War, and the
First and Second Barbary Wars. People near the scene heard
someone shouting gibberish that was frequently referencing
President Bush and neocons.
My point being that no matter who committed the murder, and no
matter for what reason, Todddard will not blame the poison
flowing from his letter writing sewer anyway, so why go through
the motions here? There is absolutely NO scenario whereby Toddard
will blame himself, so why bother?
Nick| 9.29.09 @ 11:39PM
Mr./Mrs. Mill,
HA-HA!
Excellent parody of Toddard, sir/ma'am.
Catherine| 9.29.09 @ 7:57PM
Toddard, what if it is proven beyond a doubt that whomever
perpetrated this act was influenced by talk radio or anything
else? They are the ones who did the deed, they are the quilty
etc. what has that to do with what is said on talk radio?
And, what of those who spout the anything on the right is wrong
line, never giving any evidence to support that accusation, never
the mildest example of where the right is wrong, - and, NEVER
giving evidence that the left is anything but corrupt? It seems
you ascribe to the old addage; "If you don't like the message you
destroy the messenger." Try a little thinking for a change!

Do trolls actually think? No. They only have the capability to

Louis Jenkins| 9.29.09 @ 8:53AM
This man's murder was a blight to Clay county. However, the
census taker that came to my residence back in the summer, when I
was absent, was seen nosing around the back side of my property
by my neighbor. He grabbed his side arm and badge (he is
deputized) and went to investigate. Credentials were verified,
and my neighbor warned him that moving around private property
uninvited and unannounced could have extreme results. The census
taker's excuse: "I was trying to verify that the building out
back was not occupied." Meaning he was looking for extra
residents on my property. An uninvited visitor can get in a world
of trouble, particularly in a region where illegal crops and meth
are manufactored. Our census guy was lucky. The building only
contained lawnmowers and the neighbor was duly sworn. It's a real
world we live in.
jack| 9.29.09 @ 9:59AM
So you would have just shot him? That's why he's lucky, because
you let him walk away with his life? I say YOU'RE lucky you
didn't shoot him, because when you go to prison for something
like that, you won't have your "side arm" with you to protects
you.
Eric Damon| 9.29.09 @ 10:17AM
He never said he would have shot him, he simply pointed out the
census taker who was nosing around his neighborhood was luck to
be where he was. In a place where a huge drug bust has just taken
place, and sentiment among the criminal element is running high
against federal agents, it may not have been the best of
circumstances for Mr. Sparkman to have been out in the field,
alone, with credentials marking him as a federal agent of any
sort. You must be a liberal to think that what was said here was
that LouisJenkins was going to shoot someone!
Louis Jenkins| 9.29.09 @ 12:03PM
Thanks Eric.
Louis Jenkins| 9.29.09 @ 9:07AM
Its easy to say a Federal representative was murdered by Right
wing terrorists. I suppose that the moonshiners of the depression
era were ultra Right wing nazis too. The Revenuers were Left wing
liberals so of course they were fair game. In those depression
days neighbors got into shooting wars over the moonshine market.
So which of those was leftists or rightists? I dare say that
murder victim stumbled upon something he shouldn't have, and
another crimminal act followed. I doubt that those Kentucky hills
are seething with Right Wing nut jobs itching to sally forth from
their mountainous strong holds and lay waste to the land of God
Forsaking Liberals.
Eric Damon| 9.29.09 @ 9:20AM
S.L. Toddard:
What if all of the things you say were true? What if the
murderers were birthers, right wing extremists, etc, etc? You
know what that would mean? It would mean they murdered this man
and politics will likely have nothing to do with it!
Does anyone know what Mr. Sparkman's politics were? Could the
people of Clay County know, since he didn't even live there? I
seriously doubt it. So how can you justify your accusations that
RSM, AmSpec, or Fox had anything to do with this case?
Your type of speculation and the accusations you are making are
the very vile types of actions you pretend to be dismayed about
coming from the right. You have decided that "birther"=murderer
and that opposition to Obama=hatred.
No matter who it turns out killed this man, or whatever motives
police and prosecutors uncover during their investigation, no one
on the right will owe any apologies or explanations to anyone.
RSM didn't hang his body from a tree; TAS didn't exhort anyone to
murder; Glenn Beck didn't ambush or lure him into the area, and
NRO didn't leave his body in a cemetary.
What never ceases to amaze me about you liberals is how
everything, no matter how mundane or unrelated to politics,
becomes a new political football you use to advance your hateful
ideas. This unfortunate man is murdered by parties unknown, and
you bring up "birthers" and "liberty tree watering"
speakers....as if that has something to do with a murder in Clay
County, Kentucky! One has nothing to do with the other, but in
the feeble minds of the left every murder, every rape, every
crime has something to do with what a radio show host said.
Unbelievable!
Finally, if you see right-wing radio and websites as a "sewer",
then why do you frequent TAS? Would you not be happier with your
fellow travelers at DU, Kos, or HuffPo? Since you are only
schooled in the arts of spouting liberal talking points,
name-calling, and race-baiting and rarely engage in any open and
honest debate here, why not go home to the left? Then you and all
your like-minded comrades can sit in your echo chamber and
reinforce each other's vision of America as a savage land that
can only be redeemed by the God-Man Obama? Wouldn't you be
happier? I can assure you most of us here at TAS would be.
All
Tenn, Ky, Ms, Ala, Ga, N and S Carolina, all have remote areas
where politics is based on how honest you are to your neighbor.
Right, Left, have literally no meaning. The Second Amendment is
honored, protected and useful to the style of living afforded by
Nature in these areas.
bt
To imply that a Murder, plain and simple, is the product of MSM
Rightest, or Leftist is idiocy.
This individual was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and
suffered for it. The Folks that did this will eventually turn out
to be just what they are and did, Murderers, plain and
simple.

Where have all you geniuses been for the last 6 months, while
Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck have been whopping these right
wing people to a froth with their lies?
Let's wait until the murderer is found, and you may have to eat
your words- oh, if it's a militia member, you'll say, "well, he's
not our militia member".
Steve| 9.29.09 @ 10:34AM
You're an idiot, no doubt an urban idiot with no understanding.
Refer to Tenn Slim above. I live -- by choice -- in a backwoods
region. I'm armed, my neighbors are armed, meth labs abound, the
law seldom intrudes. Violence of this nature has nothing to do
with politics. It's personal. And my money is on the hapless
census taker stumbling across a marijuana grove or meth lab.
Wrong place, wrong time.
It would be like ascribing political motives to a drive-by
shooting in Compton to assume Glenn Beck or Ms. Bachmann fueled
this tragedy.
Jeff| 9.29.09 @ 11:15AM
Jon,
What lies are you referring to? Is it the "lie" that Van Jones is
a communist and a Truther. Or is it that obama wants a single
payer health care system. Or maybe that he said there is no
prettier sound than the muslim call to prayer at sunset, or words
to that affect. What I have listed has been proven to be factual.
I know, I know, facts don't matter. The only thing that matters
is forcing all to bow at the alter of the American-hating muslim
occupant of the White House.
Bydand76| 9.29.09 @ 6:50PM

I have been in Afghanistan being forgotten by our CIC. Where have
you been? Eh smart guy?
What did you say when the SEIU member beat up an opposition
member at a town hall rally?
"Well, they werent our SEIU members"
Hypocrite! How many times have you seen the new Michael Moore
movie by the way? He is the paradigm of truth telling isnt
he?
What words are you going to eat now you little POS
Douchbag?
Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin for president!
PRO LIBERTATE!!
Ray| 9.29.09 @ 10:09AM
This reminds me of the Shepard case, which every Liberal blamed
on right wing religious hatred of gay men, but when the facts
came out, it was just another drug deal gone bad. The men who
killed him didn't even know he was gay! But, of course, that
doesn't stop the hate mongers of the left from claiming that it
was hate crime perpetrated by the denizens of the evil evil right
wing whose political spokesman's evil speeches ferment hatred and
incite violence, just like they're doing now with this case.
Ray| 9.29.09 @ 10:14AM
Jon, what "right wing people " are you referring to? I wasn't
aware that any suspects had been arrested. Do you have some new
information about the identity of the perps that you can share
with us, or are you ASSUMING that the people responsible for this
are a member of a particular party an it's their party
allegiances that is the motive behind this? I believe it's the
latter and not the former.
Indiana Alex| 9.29.09 @ 10:20AM
Living in somewhat of a less than cosmopolitan state and
indulging in a lot of right wing media it is difficult for me
sometimes, especially with all my guns, to keep from randomly
killing "Feds".
Somehow, we've gotten by so far, but if you listen closely to
Beck, really closely, with the volume up real loud, he seems to
be telling us to pull the trigger...
Alice Moore| 9.29.09 @ 7:11PM
No, you have to record Beck, then play it backward.
…worldview ever written. One of Sowell’s chapter titles is “The Irrelevance of Evidence,” which came to mind this morning when I read a liberal’s comment on my first American Spectator report from Kentucky: S.L. Toddard 9.29.09 @ 8:49AM What if it turns out that the murderers *were* hard-core Right Wing militants, 9/12ers, “birthers” and so forth. What if it were proven…
Anthony| 9.29.09 @ 10:59AM
Leftist fools like Toddard already have the suspects and the
scenario neatly packaged in their minds, with of course,
conservative media as un-indicted co-conspirators.
But like most leftists, Toddard's perspective is reflexive. No
thought is given to permutations that might include ACORN and
other hard core leftist agitators and what their "poison" has
caused people to resent, especially when the census is involved.
Even folks in Kentucky know what Obama & ACORN are up to with
the census, Toddard. That's because, unlike you and Charlie
Gibson, they don't read the NY Times. And gee, Toddard, might
folks be a bit touchy about having elected leaders from San
Francisco calling them Nazis?
Does this justify murder and violence, of course not, but that's
not the point. The point is, will Toddard acknowledge that recent
actions of the hard left have possibly contributed to our
increasingly uncivil society? My guess is no, because for Toddard
and friends, there is only one perspective and one truth.
Mike Giles| 9.29.09 @ 2:28PM
And if it was a "private" murder, and the murderer wanted to send
the police off on a wild goose chase? Make it look like some kind
of a political killing and he/she could count on the assistance
of the media in that endeavor.
Bydand76| 9.29.09 @ 6:26PM
Anthony,
I would also submit the people like Toddard and his ilk are
incapable of acknowledging anything unless it caters to their
elitist ideology.
Alice Moore| 9.29.09 @ 7:15PM
There are some on the Left who are so evil, they may have sent
out ACORN thugs to murder this fellow. This could be their
Reichstag Fire event.
Bo Darville| 9.29.09 @ 11:01AM
Yep, country folk sure are stupid. All it takes is some voice
coming over that demon box to incite them to murder. This is much
unlike my cosmopolitan bretheren in the City drooling over
themselves while asking for change before being driven in a bus
to vote Democrat.
james wilson| 9.29.09 @ 11:32AM
At heart it is clear that the left has a fear that, should the
wheels come off as a result of their political daydreams, people
will rise in a mob and end them. Which is probably true.
Amor de Cosmos| 9.29.09 @ 12:32PM
It has been illuminating here to see the liberal narrative at
work. What is that narrative?
It is that Southern whites are racists (if not overt, closeted)
and barely able to control their violent impulses. It is that
Southern whites are deeply uninformed, easily manipulated and
subject to flying off the handle when provoked. You know, the
narrative where folks bitterly cling to their guns and religion
and have antipathy to outsiders because they haven't embraced the
manifold blessings of liberal governance.
The strawman of the Left in this country is the narrative
Southern white male. He is a figure of hatred and derision. He is
hated because he will not vote for Democrats even though it is
allegedly for his benefit (What's the Matter With Kansas). He is
derided because to be a Liberal is to be an unacknowledged and
unappreciated genius of higher morality who has evolved beyond
the bourgeois world. The Southern white male still believes in
Jesus Christ, owns and knows how to use firearms, doesn't listen
to Wycliffe Jean and thinks that "metrosexuals" are just oddball.
Ick!
To hate and deride such folks is cheap and easy and gives you
street cred among the Kos Kids for how "edgy" and sophisticated
you are for sticking it to such folks.
The sad truth of this story is that good people of Clay County,
Kentucky are being defamed by ignoramuses. Appalachia and
Appalachians have come to expect nothing less than thoughtless
stereotyping from outsiders and the cited bloggers and reporters
and commentators on this site do not disappoint.
Incidentally, what "right wing militias" exist in Appalachia? You
commentators from outside the region might be confusing something
else for weekend turkey shoots.
JoeCR| 9.29.09 @ 12:52PM
As civil minded Americans, we should thank the likes of the
brainwashed or Soros bought Toddard and Cosmos. They help us grow
out of our reluctance to stand against the evil that has taken
our universities and now our congress and White House. Good going
kids.
Amor de Cosmos| 9.29.09 @ 1:21PM
JoeCR: I do hope you misread my comment. I have nothing in common
with Toddard other than we are both not dead.
Big Leo| 9.29.09 @ 2:42PM
"if it's a militia member, you'll say, "well, he's not our
militia member" OUR militia member? Any militia members here
today? No? Didn't think so. People who make this claim imagine
that there are millions of slavering, moronic, racist militia
members all over rural America, which they define as starting
somewhere a few miles west of the Hudson River. In fact, if you
study the militia movement, it is very small and confined to a
very few areas-- and in nearly all instances, very boringly
peaceful except in rhetoric.
Joe| 9.29.09 @ 3:15PM

We will then send them your way.
Flel| 9.29.09 @ 3:40PM
I would guess that the children that killed the schoolboy in
Chicago are right wing extremists whipped into a frenzy by Beck
and friends too. It seems the killers are just good boys
according to their mothers. Good until they cave in the head of
another boy for who knows what reason. He likely was not eager to
join their gang ranks and paid the ultimate price. Obama's
adopted hometown has spawned as much violence as the streets of
Bagdhad yet he spends our tax money to lobby foreign governments
to give Olympic games to Chicago. How does Chicago getting the
games benefit the country as a whole? From the sounds of things
it will greatly enrich Friends of Barack more than anything else.
Catherine| 9.29.09 @ 8:25PM
Flel, you must have missed it! Bringing the Olympic games to
Chicago will enrich - once again - the king's cohorts, it seems
the land to be used for stadiums etc. in Chicago just happens to
be currently owned by slum-lord friends of the anointed one. Lots
of that printed money is at stake! Surely that will help all as
we can delight in paying the price as well a footing the bill for
those up-right community workers we keep hearing so much "good"
stuff about, but as Hillary made Bill's Monica incident a figment
of the right wing radio group, I'm sure this is just more of the
same!
KyMouse| 9.29.09 @ 3:44PM
As my nick implies, I'm a Kentuckian, too. I've never been to
Clay County, but I do know that people are pretty much the same
all over. When I lived in New York City for a couple of years,
there were neighborhoods I wouldn't have dreamed of walking into
alone, and the same was true when I lived in Washington, D.C.
I've also seen dangerous areas of Moscow, Berlin, Toronto, London
and other big cities. Whatever actually happened in Clay County,
I can guarantee that similar events have happened in many, many
other places. We're all fallen human beings, and murder is at
home everywhere on Earth.
David| 9.29.09 @ 6:00PM
The left does not tolerate bigotry except among fellow leftists.

pasttimes.
Bydand76| 9.29.09 @ 6:17PM
Mr S.L. Toddard
It would seem to me that you have commited the very crime that
you are accusing others of commiting. You are about as insincere,
two faced, individual I have ever seen.
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a
gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it
were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms. HEY! Lets
ignore Afghanistan and get the Olypics to Chicago! YEAH ! thats a
great idea!
It is easy to blame everything REGARDLESS of the circumstances on
your opponent due to the simple fact that you might disagree with
him.
You are nothing more than a typical liberal who now has proven
that you do not have the ability to apply simple solutions to
simple problems without resorting to convoluted arguments and
flawed logic. You disgust me sir!
There is a silver lining however!Remember this. The next time you
have a flat tire, or stub your toe, or get a speeding
ticket.
It was everyone who has ever disagreed with you fault. You can
conjure up a mental picture of your favorite hated conservative
laughing in your face at your displeasure.
Have a great day!
Kurt| 9.29.09 @ 6:20PM
What are the census 'takers' trained to do, if in their course of
checking for 'occupied buildings out back,' they came upon an
illegal operation, such as a marijuanna grow house or a meth lab?
Bydand76| 9.29.09 @ 6:36PM
What if it was ACORN operatives who killed the census worker to
make it seem like right wing militants did it!
I wonder who the S.L. Toddards would blame then?
Pondering| 9.29.09 @ 7:51PM
I live in Kansas and today a police officer was murdered when he
answered a bogus 911 call from an ex-con who was out to kill ANY
law enforcement officer.
What do you want to bet he was a democrat? Yeah, he didn't
survive the shootout with the officers who tracked his sorry butt
down!!
Wally| 9.29.09 @ 10:29PM
Okay, lemme get this straight. The murderer was not influenced by
Beck and Bachman because of one or more of the following factors:
- there are lots of McDonald's and Wendys in Kentucky
- there are some, not many, but some law abiding people in Clay
County
- because the federal -census workers in Clay County - as opposed
to the rest of the United States - are deputized and
packin.'
- A police office was killed somewhere else by an ex con - who of
course can't vote but he was certainly a democrat anyway.
-Acorn registers poor hispanic guys so they probably would have
killed the Sparkman upon orders by Eric Holder.
-Even though the term "FED" was written on Sparkman's body, any
suggestion that the fact that Sparkman was a federal employee is
irrelevant.
-If Sparkman found a meth still, that does not necessarilly mean
the meth distillers are not good god fearing people
- that the last 3 murders/massacres by right wing nuts concerned
about the supposed Nazi tendencies of the federal government and
this murder have nothing to do with Beck and Bachman's
accusations that there is a Nazi tendency of the Federal
government.
- that meth distillers or marijuana growers killed him because he
was a stranger from the federal government snooping around their
private property not because he was a federal government employee
who was asking them about their private property...
-that somehow the Chicago Olympics games promoters had a role in
this ...
How about the green cheese factor? The grassy knoll? The birth
certificate? I mean forget Clay County, is everyone on this forum
a loon? I mean c'mon, people, watch CSI or reruns of Andy of
Mayberry or something. Sometimes the evidence actually means what
the evidence means.
juandomino| 9.29.09 @ 11:17PM
I have probably had too many beers to intelligently post here
this evening but I find the comments of Toddard laughable, that
is if I didn't know that he was completely serious.
Kymouse, you seem well travelled and highly intelligent, are you
likewise female and available? Sorry, that was the beer
talking.
At any rate, I was born in Kentucky and lived much of my life
there through the years. Drugs are rampant in the small
communities of Kentucky as I presume is the case in most other
rural areas where it is easier to grow and manufacture narcotics
without detection.
Churches are also quite numerous as well as those who attend
them. Good and decent people abound, as well as the not so good
and decent. Per capita I would have to say that there are far
less criminals in the rural areas of America as there are in
Washington D.C., maybe anywhere.
I have no opinion on the death of Mr. Sparkman, because I have no
information, other than to say that it is regretable. What I do
have an opinion upon, because I happen to have a wealth of
information to support it, is that left wing lunacy fostered in
our public education/indoctrination system and propped up by the
msm has alienated and angered a large, dare I say, majority group
of Americans who have long been silent.
There will come a time in the not so distant future if this trend
continues that once peaceful and complacent, this majority will
rise up and attempt to shrug off the powers that oppress them. It
is as inevitable as it is unavoidable. I hate to be so
depressing, I guess reality just has that affect on me.

How about the time the liberal talk show host got mugged and
blamed it on right wing extremists? Eh buddy boy remember that
one?

want me to keep going? OK!
How about the Milwaukee incident where three Democrat election
workers were mugged and robbed, It was the evil republicans who

If Beck is responsible for this guy's murder then the usurper in
chief is responsible for that White kid who got beat up by the
busload of black kids a few weeks back. Fair 'nuff? He's also
responsible for the black panthers threatening White folks in
Philadelphia on election day. Obama is also responsible for every
crime committed by a black person against a White person.
If you're gonna play the game the rules have to be the same for

I spent my first 18 years of life in Clay County. I learned that
a Right Wing Bible Thumper will kill you because you disagree
with his doctrine quicker than an Atheist It almost happened to
me twice simply because I let my hair grow out a bit when I was a
senior in High School even tho I was a good kid and never in
trouble.
I'm not saying that there are not some fine people in Clay County
but where I live now, there are fewer druggies, fewer people that
abuse their spouses, less crime (I can leave home on vacation for
weeks and leave my house doors unlocked and expect to come back
to find no one has ran-sacked my house, and I've done that many
times.), probably more people around here drink alcohol but it is
highly unlikely that someone will get drunk and shoot somebody
and most folks around here are not always shoving their religious
and political views down your throat.
I miss the hills but I won't be moving back to Eastern Ky.

I appreciate the fact this guy talked about the good people of Clay County by mentioning the Pizza Hut Waitress with Tigers on her shirt! I lived in Clay County most of my life and I understand there has been a lot of violence and corruption but to me it isn't any more than what happens everywhere else in this world. I love Clay County. I graduated High School there and our class was full of very intelligent people. I don't know the numbers, but I know there were many graduated with honors. There are a lot of wonderful people in Clay County. I feel really bad for Mr. Sparkman's family and wish it had never happened, of course, but in the same sense I don't feel the media has a clue about what's going on in Clay County and shouldn't be talking about the place like it's from the movie Wrong Turn. This man's death was very unfortunate and I hope they put his killer/killers behind bars and I pray his family will make it through this hard time. I hope one day Clay county will be able to make a good name for itself. I believe we are on the right track. Our Mayor has done a lot for the county.

What if it turns out that the murderers *were* hard-core Right Wing militants, 9/12ers, "birthers" and so forth. What if it were proven beyond any doubt that these men were inspired by crazy-talk about Marxist takovers, Liberty Tree-watering and Islamofascist Manchurian Candidates? In that case, RSM and everyone else would just say "We can't control how some individual nuts misinterpret our message, or what they do afterward".
My point being that no matter who committed the murder, and no matter for what reason, no one at AmSpec, NRO or any other establishment GOP organ will blame the poison flowing from the right wing media sewer anyway, so why go through the motions here? There is absolutely NO scenario whereby anyone here will blame anyone on (what now passes for) the right, so why bother?
Toddard the Pro Troll| 9.29.09 @ 11:21AM
Toddard you are so transparent.
The poison flows from sites like Kos, the violence from lefty groups like SEIU (beating a black man insensible outside a town hall meeting, biting fingers off the elderly) and ACORN.
The racism, race baiting and class warfare comes from the left. The oppression of minorities comes from the left who use them as useful idiots in their quest for more power and wealth.
The KKK and Black Panthers are both democrat only social clubs, with one Klaven founder still serving in the senate with Robt. Byrd...
The only threat of violence comes from the left. The histronics of Pelosi, who somehow forgot Dan White and his twinkie defense were both products of the left (don't forget White was a Dem as the most powerful botox addict in the world did).
Stick your violence up your liberal rear end where it belongs. This has all the trappings of a disgruntled ACORN worker(s) commiting a hate crime against a part time white worker and attempting to provoke a response from the Obama administration & his Brown Shirt Janet Reno replacement at Homeland Security.
What a tool you are Doddering Toaddard. You are surely making your living as a government parasite, part of the rot whithin that needs to be cut out.

I heard that the murder might be done in protest to President Adams, President Jefferson and President Madison initiating undeclared wars. Apparently these early presidents were all unaware of the great constitutional scholar S. L. Toddard and his position on undeclared wars and the Constitution. Anyways the murderer had been following some of the brilliant writings of Toddard went and found the first Fed he could find and did him in as a demonstration against the crimes of the Quasi-War, and the First and Second Barbary Wars. People near the scene heard someone shouting gibberish that was frequently referencing President Bush and neocons.
My point being that no matter who committed the murder, and no matter for what reason, Todddard will not blame the poison flowing from his letter writing sewer anyway, so why go through the motions here? There is absolutely NO scenario whereby Toddard will blame himself, so why bother?

Toddard, what if it is proven beyond a doubt that whomever perpetrated this act was influenced by talk radio or anything else? They are the ones who did the deed, they are the quilty etc. what has that to do with what is said on talk radio?
And, what of those who spout the anything on the right is wrong line, never giving any evidence to support that accusation, never the mildest example of where the right is wrong, - and, NEVER giving evidence that the left is anything but corrupt? It seems you ascribe to the old addage; "If you don't like the message you destroy the messenger." Try a little thinking for a change!

This man's murder was a blight to Clay county. However, the census taker that came to my residence back in the summer, when I was absent, was seen nosing around the back side of my property by my neighbor. He grabbed his side arm and badge (he is deputized) and went to investigate. Credentials were verified, and my neighbor warned him that moving around private property uninvited and unannounced could have extreme results. The census taker's excuse: "I was trying to verify that the building out back was not occupied." Meaning he was looking for extra residents on my property. An uninvited visitor can get in a world of trouble, particularly in a region where illegal crops and meth are manufactored. Our census guy was lucky. The building only contained lawnmowers and the neighbor was duly sworn. It's a real world we live in.
jack| 9.29.09 @ 9:59AM
So you would have just shot him? That's why he's lucky, because you let him walk away with his life? I say YOU'RE lucky you didn't shoot him, because when you go to prison for something like that, you won't have your "side arm" with you to protects you.
Eric Damon| 9.29.09 @ 10:17AM
He never said he would have shot him, he simply pointed out the census taker who was nosing around his neighborhood was luck to be where he was. In a place where a huge drug bust has just taken place, and sentiment among the criminal element is running high against federal agents, it may not have been the best of circumstances for Mr. Sparkman to have been out in the field, alone, with credentials marking him as a federal agent of any sort. You must be a liberal to think that what was said here was that LouisJenkins was going to shoot someone!
Louis Jenkins| 9.29.09 @ 12:03PM
Thanks Eric.
Louis Jenkins| 9.29.09 @ 9:07AM
Its easy to say a Federal representative was murdered by Right wing terrorists. I suppose that the moonshiners of the depression era were ultra Right wing nazis too. The Revenuers were Left wing liberals so of course they were fair game. In those depression days neighbors got into shooting wars over the moonshine market. So which of those was leftists or rightists? I dare say that murder victim stumbled upon something he shouldn't have, and another crimminal act followed. I doubt that those Kentucky hills are seething with Right Wing nut jobs itching to sally forth from their mountainous strong holds and lay waste to the land of God Forsaking Liberals.
Eric Damon| 9.29.09 @ 9:20AM
S.L. Toddard:
What if all of the things you say were true? What if the murderers were birthers, right wing extremists, etc, etc? You know what that would mean? It would mean they murdered this man and politics will likely have nothing to do with it!
Does anyone know what Mr. Sparkman's politics were? Could the people of Clay County know, since he didn't even live there? I seriously doubt it. So how can you justify your accusations that RSM, AmSpec, or Fox had anything to do with this case?
Your type of speculation and the accusations you are making are the very vile types of actions you pretend to be dismayed about coming from the right. You have decided that "birther"=murderer and that opposition to Obama=hatred.
No matter who it turns out killed this man, or whatever motives police and prosecutors uncover during their investigation, no one on the right will owe any apologies or explanations to anyone. RSM didn't hang his body from a tree; TAS didn't exhort anyone to murder; Glenn Beck didn't ambush or lure him into the area, and NRO didn't leave his body in a cemetary.
What never ceases to amaze me about you liberals is how everything, no matter how mundane or unrelated to politics, becomes a new political football you use to advance your hateful ideas. This unfortunate man is murdered by parties unknown, and you bring up "birthers" and "liberty tree watering" speakers....as if that has something to do with a murder in Clay County, Kentucky! One has nothing to do with the other, but in the feeble minds of the left every murder, every rape, every crime has something to do with what a radio show host said. Unbelievable!
Finally, if you see right-wing radio and websites as a "sewer", then why do you frequent TAS? Would you not be happier with your fellow travelers at DU, Kos, or HuffPo? Since you are only schooled in the arts of spouting liberal talking points, name-calling, and race-baiting and rarely engage in any open and honest debate here, why not go home to the left? Then you and all your like-minded comrades can sit in your echo chamber and reinforce each other's vision of America as a savage land that can only be redeemed by the God-Man Obama? Wouldn't you be happier? I can assure you most of us here at TAS would be.

To imply that a Murder, plain and simple, is the product of MSM Rightest, or Leftist is idiocy.

You're an idiot, no doubt an urban idiot with no understanding. Refer to Tenn Slim above. I live -- by choice -- in a backwoods region. I'm armed, my neighbors are armed, meth labs abound, the law seldom intrudes. Violence of this nature has nothing to do with politics. It's personal. And my money is on the hapless census taker stumbling across a marijuana grove or meth lab. Wrong place, wrong time.
It would be like ascribing political motives to a drive-by shooting in Compton to assume Glenn Beck or Ms. Bachmann fueled this tragedy.
Jeff| 9.29.09 @ 11:15AM

What lies are you referring to? Is it the "lie" that Van Jones is a communist and a Truther. Or is it that obama wants a single payer health care system. Or maybe that he said there is no prettier sound than the muslim call to prayer at sunset, or words to that affect. What I have listed has been proven to be factual. I know, I know, facts don't matter. The only thing that matters is forcing all to bow at the alter of the American-hating muslim occupant of the White House.

This reminds me of the Shepard case, which every Liberal blamed on right wing religious hatred of gay men, but when the facts came out, it was just another drug deal gone bad. The men who killed him didn't even know he was gay! But, of course, that doesn't stop the hate mongers of the left from claiming that it was hate crime perpetrated by the denizens of the evil evil right wing whose political spokesman's evil speeches ferment hatred and incite violence, just like they're doing now with this case.
Ray| 9.29.09 @ 10:14AM
Jon, what "right wing people " are you referring to? I wasn't aware that any suspects had been arrested. Do you have some new information about the identity of the perps that you can share with us, or are you ASSUMING that the people responsible for this are a member of a particular party an it's their party allegiances that is the motive behind this? I believe it's the latter and not the former.
Indiana Alex| 9.29.09 @ 10:20AM
Living in somewhat of a less than cosmopolitan state and indulging in a lot of right wing media it is difficult for me sometimes, especially with all my guns, to keep from randomly killing "Feds".
Somehow, we've gotten by so far, but if you listen closely to Beck, really closely, with the volume up real loud, he seems to be telling us to pull the trigger...

Anthony| 9.29.09 @ 10:59AM
Leftist fools like Toddard already have the suspects and the scenario neatly packaged in their minds, with of course, conservative media as un-indicted co-conspirators.
But like most leftists, Toddard's perspective is reflexive. No thought is given to permutations that might include ACORN and other hard core leftist agitators and what their "poison" has caused people to resent, especially when the census is involved. Even folks in Kentucky know what Obama & ACORN are up to with the census, Toddard. That's because, unlike you and Charlie Gibson, they don't read the NY Times. And gee, Toddard, might folks be a bit touchy about having elected leaders from San Francisco calling them Nazis?
Does this justify murder and violence, of course not, but that's not the point. The point is, will Toddard acknowledge that recent actions of the hard left have possibly contributed to our increasingly uncivil society? My guess is no, because for Toddard and friends, there is only one perspective and one truth.
Mike Giles| 9.29.09 @ 2:28PM
And if it was a "private" murder, and the murderer wanted to send the police off on a wild goose chase? Make it look like some kind of a political killing and he/she could count on the assistance of the media in that endeavor.
Bydand76| 9.29.09 @ 6:26PM

Amor de Cosmos| 9.29.09 @ 12:32PM
It has been illuminating here to see the liberal narrative at work. What is that narrative?
It is that Southern whites are racists (if not overt, closeted) and barely able to control their violent impulses. It is that Southern whites are deeply uninformed, easily manipulated and subject to flying off the handle when provoked. You know, the narrative where folks bitterly cling to their guns and religion and have antipathy to outsiders because they haven't embraced the manifold blessings of liberal governance.
The strawman of the Left in this country is the narrative Southern white male. He is a figure of hatred and derision. He is hated because he will not vote for Democrats even though it is allegedly for his benefit (What's the Matter With Kansas). He is derided because to be a Liberal is to be an unacknowledged and unappreciated genius of higher morality who has evolved beyond the bourgeois world. The Southern white male still believes in Jesus Christ, owns and knows how to use firearms, doesn't listen to Wycliffe Jean and thinks that "metrosexuals" are just oddball. Ick!
To hate and deride such folks is cheap and easy and gives you street cred among the Kos Kids for how "edgy" and sophisticated you are for sticking it to such folks.
The sad truth of this story is that good people of Clay County, Kentucky are being defamed by ignoramuses. Appalachia and Appalachians have come to expect nothing less than thoughtless stereotyping from outsiders and the cited bloggers and reporters and commentators on this site do not disappoint.
Incidentally, what "right wing militias" exist in Appalachia? You commentators from outside the region might be confusing something else for weekend turkey shoots.

"if it's a militia member, you'll say, "well, he's not our militia member" OUR militia member? Any militia members here today? No? Didn't think so. People who make this claim imagine that there are millions of slavering, moronic, racist militia members all over rural America, which they define as starting somewhere a few miles west of the Hudson River. In fact, if you study the militia movement, it is very small and confined to a very few areas-- and in nearly all instances, very boringly peaceful except in rhetoric.

Flel| 9.29.09 @ 3:40PM
I would guess that the children that killed the schoolboy in Chicago are right wing extremists whipped into a frenzy by Beck and friends too. It seems the killers are just good boys according to their mothers. Good until they cave in the head of another boy for who knows what reason. He likely was not eager to join their gang ranks and paid the ultimate price. Obama's adopted hometown has spawned as much violence as the streets of Bagdhad yet he spends our tax money to lobby foreign governments to give Olympic games to Chicago. How does Chicago getting the games benefit the country as a whole? From the sounds of things it will greatly enrich Friends of Barack more than anything else.
Catherine| 9.29.09 @ 8:25PM
Flel, you must have missed it! Bringing the Olympic games to Chicago will enrich - once again - the king's cohorts, it seems the land to be used for stadiums etc. in Chicago just happens to be currently owned by slum-lord friends of the anointed one. Lots of that printed money is at stake! Surely that will help all as we can delight in paying the price as well a footing the bill for those up-right community workers we keep hearing so much "good" stuff about, but as Hillary made Bill's Monica incident a figment of the right wing radio group, I'm sure this is just more of the same!

As my nick implies, I'm a Kentuckian, too. I've never been to Clay County, but I do know that people are pretty much the same all over.

I've also seen dangerous areas of Moscow, Berlin, Toronto, London and other big cities. Whatever actually happened in Clay County, I can guarantee that similar events have happened in many, many other places. We're all fallen human beings, and murder is at home everywhere on Earth.

Mr S.L. Toddard
It would seem to me that you have commited the very crime that you are accusing others of commiting. You are about as insincere, two faced, individual I have ever seen.
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms. HEY! Lets ignore Afghanistan and get the Olypics to Chicago! YEAH ! thats a great idea!
It is easy to blame everything REGARDLESS of the circumstances on your opponent due to the simple fact that you might disagree with him.
You are nothing more than a typical liberal who now has proven that you do not have the ability to apply simple solutions to simple problems without resorting to convoluted arguments and flawed logic. You disgust me sir!
There is a silver lining however!Remember this. The next time you have a flat tire, or stub your toe, or get a speeding ticket.
It was everyone who has ever disagreed with you fault. You can conjure up a mental picture of your favorite hated conservative laughing in your face at your displeasure.

What are the census 'takers' trained to do, if in their course of checking for 'occupied buildings out back,' they came upon an illegal operation, such as a marijuanna grow house or a meth lab?

I live in Kansas and today a police officer was murdered when he answered a bogus 911 call from an ex-con who was out to kill ANY law enforcement officer.
What do you want to bet he was a democrat? Yeah, he didn't survive the shootout with the officers who tracked his sorry butt down!!
Wally| 9.29.09 @ 10:29PM
Okay, lemme get this straight. The murderer was not influenced by Beck and Bachman because of one or more of the following factors:
- there are lots of McDonald's and Wendys in Kentucky
- there are some, not many, but some law abiding people in Clay County
- because the federal -census workers in Clay County - as opposed to the rest of the United States - are deputized and packin.'
- A police office was killed somewhere else by an ex con - who of course can't vote but he was certainly a democrat anyway.
-Acorn registers poor hispanic guys so they probably would have killed the Sparkman upon orders by Eric Holder.
-Even though the term "FED" was written on Sparkman's body, any suggestion that the fact that Sparkman was a federal employee is irrelevant.
-If Sparkman found a meth still, that does not necessarilly mean the meth distillers are not good god fearing people
- that the last 3 murders/massacres by right wing nuts concerned about the supposed Nazi tendencies of the federal government and this murder have nothing to do with Beck and Bachman's accusations that there is a Nazi tendency of the Federal government.
- that meth distillers or marijuana growers killed him because he was a stranger from the federal government snooping around their private property not because he was a federal government employee who was asking them about their private property...
-that somehow the Chicago Olympics games promoters had a role in this ...
How about the green cheese factor? The grassy knoll? The birth certificate? I mean forget Clay County, is everyone on this forum a loon? I mean c'mon, people, watch CSI or reruns of Andy of Mayberry or something. Sometimes the evidence actually means what the evidence means.
juandomino| 9.29.09 @ 11:17PM
I have probably had too many beers to intelligently post here this evening but I find the comments of Toddard laughable, that is if I didn't know that he was completely serious.
Kymouse, you seem well travelled and highly intelligent, are you likewise female and available? Sorry, that was the beer talking.
At any rate, I was born in Kentucky and lived much of my life there through the years. Drugs are rampant in the small communities of Kentucky as I presume is the case in most other rural areas where it is easier to grow and manufacture narcotics without detection.
Churches are also quite numerous as well as those who attend them. Good and decent people abound, as well as the not so good and decent. Per capita I would have to say that there are far less criminals in the rural areas of America as there are in Washington D.C., maybe anywhere.
I have no opinion on the death of Mr. Sparkman, because I have no information, other than to say that it is regretable. What I do have an opinion upon, because I happen to have a wealth of information to support it, is that left wing lunacy fostered in our public education/indoctrination system and propped up by the msm has alienated and angered a large, dare I say, majority group of Americans who have long been silent.
There will come a time in the not so distant future if this trend continues that once peaceful and complacent, this majority will rise up and attempt to shrug off the powers that oppress them. It is as inevitable as it is unavoidable. I hate to be so depressing, I guess reality just has that affect on me.

If Beck is responsible for this guy's murder then the usurper in chief is responsible for that White kid who got beat up by the busload of black kids a few weeks back. Fair 'nuff? He's also responsible for the black panthers threatening White folks in Philadelphia on election day. Obama is also responsible for every crime committed by a black person against a White person.
If you're gonna play the game the rules have to be the same for both sides.

I spent my first 18 years of life in Clay County. I learned that a Right Wing Bible Thumper will kill you because you disagree with his doctrine quicker than an Atheist It almost happened to me twice simply because I let my hair grow out a bit when I was a senior in High School even tho I was a good kid and never in trouble.
I'm not saying that there are not some fine people in Clay County but where I live now, there are fewer druggies, fewer people that abuse their spouses, less crime (I can leave home on vacation for weeks and leave my house doors unlocked and expect to come back to find no one has ran-sacked my house, and I've done that many times.), probably more people around here drink alcohol but it is highly unlikely that someone will get drunk and shoot somebody and most folks around here are not always shoving their religious and political views down your throat.
I miss the hills but I won't be moving back to Eastern Ky. anytime soon.
