A Further Perspective
Shame and Blame in Kentucky
How a Census worker’s suicide became a witch hunt.
Morgan Bowling called from Kentucky after Tuesday’s press conference. “I’m really curious to see how the national news reports it,” she said, referring to the conclusion of state and federal law enforcement officials that Bill Sparkman’s death was a suicide.
Bowling is the 20-year-old news director of the Manchester Enterprise, a 6,500-circulation weekly that is the main source for local news in Clay County, Ky. For a few days in September, Bowling’s hometown made national headlines after Sparkman’s nude body was discovered Sept. 12 near a cemetery about 15 miles from Manchester in an area known locally as Red Bird.
Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census worker and teacher’s aide, had apparently been hanged, and Bowling reported the story on the front page of that week’s Enterprise, with a quote from a Kentucky State Patrol spokesman: “The circumstances of the case right now are very sketchy.”
The circumstances remained sketchy — and the national news media paid scant attention to Sparkman’s death — until Sept. 23, when the Associated Press published a story that began: “The FBI is investigating whether anti-government sentiment led to the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word ‘fed’ was scrawled on the dead man’s chest.”
Attributed to a “law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case,” the AP’s reference to “anti-government sentiment” inspired sensational headlines (e.g., “Terror in Kentucky: Census Worker’s Murder,” CBS.com) and some of the wildest commentary since the invention of blogging.
In particular, liberals focused blame on Rep. Michelle Bachmann, who had expressed concerns about Census Bureau intrusions of privacy. Liberal blogger I think people in positions of power inciting hate and violence need to be held accountable.… Political hate-speech is just as dangerous as any other form of hate-speech.”
Faiz Shakir of Think Progress accused Bachmann of fomenting “anger, fear, and vitriol” against Census workers, but liberal bloggers agreed that the Minnesota Republican had many co-conspirators, including Tea Party protesters and Rush Limbaugh. Andrew Sullivan blamed “Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox News and talk radio cohorts.” Rick Ungar contributed the memorable headline: “Send the Body to Glenn Beck.”
The Left’s certainty that someone — everyone! — in the conservative movement was to blame for Sparkman’s demise clearly required a scapegoat. Finally Michelle Malkin confessed: “I killed the Kentucky Census worker — along with every conservative in America.”
That was apparently what Bill Sparkman wanted everyone to believe. Investigators said yesterday that evidence shows Sparkman wrote “fed” on his own chest, duct-taped his Census ID to his own neck, and hanged himself. Sparkman staged his death to look like murder, police said, in an apparent attempt to let his beneficiaries collect $600,000 in life-insurance benefits.
Sparkman evidently was willing to let his death be blamed on “anti-government sentiment” — and on the people of Clay County. Or, as the Washington Post made sure to describe it, “impoverished Clay County.”
Newspaper references to rural Appalachian poverty might evoke images of dilapidated cabins with tin roofs and dirt floors, full of barefoot hillbillies with corncob pipes. But those stereotypes bear no resemblance to the Clay County I visited in September.
Manchester is home to a regional campus of Eastern Kentucky University and, in general, resembles a lot of other small towns in America. On the day I arrived, the local Pizza Hut was crowded with Clay County High School cheerleaders holding a fund-raiser, and teenage boys were riding their skateboards on the shopping-center sidewalk near the Dollar General store.
There were no grizzled moonshiners and no right-wing militias, and no more “anti-government sentiment” than you’d expect, considering how the federal government has cracked down on local enterprises like coal mining and tobacco farming.
Thanks to an anonymous source in an Associated Press story and a flurry of speculation by bloggers, however, this quiet community was imagined to be a seething cauldron of hatred stoked by Fox News, talk radio and Republican politicians. Clay County’s state Sen. Robert Stivers told the Lexington Herald-Leader that “many in the media owe the county an apology.” As Morgan Bowling said Tuesday afternoon, at times it seemed as if pundits were trying to turn Bill Sparkman into a “sacrificial lamb for ObamaCare.”
At the height of the national media glare, the Manchester Enterprise’s young editor received an e-mail from New York: “What are you people, backwoods ignorant freaks?” the e-mailer wrote. “This crime is a reflection of all the residents of Clay County.… You are all disgusting pigs, and if one could level a curse at a community, then I curse the whole lot of you.”
Morgan Bowling is only a few months into her journalism career, but she got a crash course about what can happen when irresponsible reporting leads to unfounded speculation.

Ironic, eh, that the Pingback is for Life Insurance?
Darin| 11.25.09 @ 7:20AM
If it was a murder, there may or may not have been political motivations. Don't forget that liberals have been shown to commit crimes themselves to try to frame conservatives. Killing someone seems a bit overboard, but liberals can (and do) justify killing an unborn baby or allowing a baby born alive after an attempted abortion to die. I would put nothing past people with such a mindset.
Melvin| 11.25.09 @ 7:57AM
Tawana Brawley, Duke Rape Case, and Heather Ellis in Kennett Missouri all screamed from the major media outlets, "Right Wing Extremist Groups are responsible!"
"Ant government militias are on the rise, Big Sis was right." Law abiding White Christian Americans were already convicted in the public court and convicted. Government's heavy hand was ready to step in with some new onerous law to protect the helpless against domestic terrorism.
Now it has been proven that this suicide was a scam for the insurance money. Will there be apologies given, will there be admissions of guilt with this phony hysterical journalism?
No apologies in the Duke Rape Case for three innocent men, no apologies from Duke University, no apologies from local officials in Raleigh, Durham, and especially no apologies or charges being filed for a false police report from Crystal Gail Mangum who made three innocent men lives a living hell.
The media drummed up the black community into a lynch mob mentality was no where to be found after the declaration of innocence.
And what did the Liberal community do,? They do what they always do when their malfeasance goes awry, money, pay vast amounts of cash to those whose reputations were ruined and somehow all those Ben Franklin's are supposed to make those that were wrongly accused feel better and reputations returned.
Heather Ellis makes a complete and utter ass of herself in a public forum and no apologies from her either. To the store, patrons, and the police who bore the brunt of her racial venom and
violence.
Government implements all these lofty hate crime laws, but they only seem to apply to white, heterosexuals.
Nidal Malik Hasan murders and maims and he is only charged with simple murder charges, and not a hate crime.
"Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad -- a 24-year-old Little Rock resident formerly known as Carlos Bledsoe -- faces a first-degree murder charge and 15 counts of engaging in a terrorist act." Wiki. No hate crime here either.
I know I have strayed a bit, but I wanted to make light of a larger issue than just this single incident of a former census worker killing himself for the insurance money.
All the above are each separate but bound together in how White, Christians are being persecuted by the government, media, and
academia.
JohnD| 11.25.09 @ 9:15AM
Since the liberal state-run media accused conservatives of murder when this looked like a homicide, can conservatives now accuse the liberal media of insurance fraud?
Tony in Central PA| 11.25.09 @ 9:23AM
I'd like to say its funny how the truth behind this story didn't make the national news, but it isn't funny. Its the way things have become. People aren't interested in the truth, especially if news is their business.
Ex Clay County| 11.25.09 @ 9:38AM
The alleged liberal media's ignorance of Clay County and its residents is exceeded only by your own. Clearly you have never been to the place or checked any of your alleged facts at all. Clay County is in fact poor, drug ridden and extraordinarily corrupt. Those are facts. Historically Clay County is also Republican. Historically the Manchester Enterprise has been a political tool where local Republican political bosses can boldly march right in and demand that certain stories get printed, and that certain stories get dropped. Putting a 20 year old in editorial charge is precisely what you'd expect the traditioal power structure infesting Clay County to do. Blame it on "the liberals" and you are ignoring certain dark realities and possibly aiding them. Your substandard output on this tells me all I need to know about The American Spectator.
ggoblue| 11.25.09 @ 12:27PM
you should visit detroit. talk about corruption and drugs....and remember when you do-there hasnt been a republican elected there in our lifetime. this city is the result of democrats unchecked. get ready america because obama is bringing this model to the nation as a whole.
KyMouse| 11.25.09 @ 9:52AM
I'm glad that the truth about Mr. Sparkman's suicide has finally surfaced, although many members of the press have abruptly lost interest. I'm a Kentucky city girl, but I love traveling through this state's eastern mountains. I've never had a bit of trouble with the natives, and I like driving through small towns. But I guess that as far as the mainstream media are concerned, the only stories that have "legs" are the ones about hillbillies holed up in the hollers.
No doubt there are Kentuckians who have limited experience of the wider world; but as my brother (a New Yorker for the past 35 years) once observed, there are plenty of people in the five boroughs who never see more than the same ten square blocks.
KyMouse| 11.25.09 @ 10:23AM
Ex Clay County, I think you're missing much of the point of this article. Andrew Sullivan, AP, Larisa Alexandrovna, Think Progress, the Washington Post et al. are not based in Clay County. They assumed the worst about Mr. Sparkman's death because it fit their political and cultural viewpoint.
katie| 11.25.09 @ 10:53AM
Please name one liberal that has killed or attempted to assassinate a Republican. I can't think of any, but I do know the murder of Dr. Tiller and the holocaust museum murder were both incited by right-wing hate, as was the Olympic bombing in Atlanta, among others. So was Timothy McVeigh. The right's support of guns also contributes to their violent reputation. So please don't expect one suicide to change people's opinions that the right incites violence. It's going to take a lot less rhetoric and a lot more tolerence from the right before people stop stereotyping them as racist and violent. I'd rather be stereotyped as a tree-hugging left-wing loon than a racist who encourages violence against those who are different. I've seen those racist signs at McCain/Palin and Tea Party rallies. And the right's only excuse seems to be that the left is just as bad. Pathetic. I thought you guys were more religious, and therefore more tolerant. Learn to work with the other side, instead of calling them names. Be the better party that you think you are. Stop using the left's actions as an excuse for your bad behavior.
JohnD| 11.25.09 @ 11:01AM
katie:
Linking those who want free markets, personal liberty, respect for human life, and a government akin to what our founding fathers envisoned, to white supremecist nut jobs is ridiculous.
It also validates what is being said by the commentators here, basically criticizing the liberal media view that endorsing the values above makes one a sheet-wearing, doctor killing, goose-stepping racist.
The liberals would rather kill us by government-run healthcare neglect (death panels), baby-killing in the name of "reproductive choice," and genocide in the name of saving the planet (like banning DDT to save birds while millions of Africans die of malaria).
Yes, the left is worse and more deadly.

That is one impressive ignorant rant with nothing to do with the subject at hand. You left-wing loons (your term) are desperate to implicate conservatives as being dangerous right-wing nuts and this so-called murder is just another shameful example of your despicable behavior in attempting to do so. And how was the holocaust museum murder incited by right-wing hate? It wasn't and you just made it up like this so-called murder in Kentucky.
ggoblue| 11.25.09 @ 12:28PM
again if you love liberalism so much move to detroit. hasnt been a conservative elected there in decades.
Louis Jenkins| 11.25.09 @ 12:31PM
Timothy McVeigh obviously had grievances against the Federal Government and all liberalists over the Branch Davidian episode. His name is recited at every Tea Party along with the Pledge of Allegiance. I’m positive he had only targeted liberals in the Fed. Building, and dead Conservatives were unfortunate collateral damage.
Janet Reno obviously had grievances against the Branch Davidians and David Koresh. Koresh could have been picked up by LE on the streets of Waco any time before the commencement of hostilities. I’m sure every one of those Davidians were blood thirsty religious cultist Conservatives just itching to begin a war against liberals. I bet they had already formed Death Squads for that purpose.
Janet Reno & BATF obviously had grievances against Randy Weaver. A despicable man who lived in the mountains of Idaho with his family, and he was a White Separatist according to the newsmedia. If I recall correctly a BATF agent killed Weaver’s son’s dog (a blood thirsty Conservative dog no doubt) when it barked at him, Weaver’s son (a John Bircher neophyte) attempted to shoot the agent who appeared to have shot the dog for no reason, and the Agent then killed Weaver’s son. All this occurred on Weaver’s consevative land. Then a BATF sniper shot Weaver’s wife, who by the way, was standing in a doorway with a baby in her arms. A baby of Conservatives is most likely to become a killer too, so its best to eliminate the hand that rocks the cradle. Obviously Weaver and his entire family were blood thirsty Conservatives. They needed to be rubbed out before they commenced to killing liberals.
Richard Jewell was keel hauled over the Atlanta Olympic bombing, another obvious Conservative according to the news media, who loved to embellish his police reports. Even after he spent time evacuating the public gathered on the killing floor he was labeled a “person of interest.” After the media and LE lost interest in him Eric R. Rudolph emerged as the suspect. His bombs were solely directed against liberals, not against the Conservatives, after all, anyone who knows about bombs knows they can be selectively targeted against baby killing liberals and will leave all others unharmed. Rudolph was bombing only for the sake of unborn Conservatives.
Dr. Tiller had no qualms killing either. He made a successful living at it. It cannot be determined if he targeted liberal fetuses or not. They, along with the Conservative fetuses, are unavailable for comment.
Todd| 11.25.09 @ 12:51PM
Brilliant post Louis Jenkins. I doubt katie has any reply, she looks like the hit and run type from the Daily Kos.
Mark Shepler| 11.29.09 @ 10:26AM
Louis,
Janet Reno et al had nothing to do with Randy Weaver and the travesty that took place at Ruby Ridge. That bit of national shame occurred on Bush the Elder's watch in Aug. 1992. But it was precipitated by the same anti-citizenry mindset of Leviathan's burgeoning, over-aggressive BATF, heedless US Marshal's and the killer zealousness of a militarized FBI HRT unit under Richard Rogers. It wasn't until 1994 after Republicans took Congress that full hearings were held on Ruby Ridge and Waco and we learned the extent of government's deadly malfeasance and, more frighteningly, it's paranoid view of its own citizens. The hearings were riveting and any fair minded citizen came away concerned about gov't power, the militarization of law enforcement and, particularly, the "us vs. them" mentality of the authorities in a democratic republic. None of this invalidates your point however for the vast majority of political violence in the last 40 years or so has emanated from the left. From the antics of New Left would-be revolutionaries and assassins like Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Arthur Bremer and John Hinckley Jr., to bomb throwers and saboteurs like the Weathermen under Bill Ayers and his ilk, Earth First reactionaries, anti-animal-testing zealots and anti-fur nutcakes to old school street thuggery back in vogue as recently as a couple of months ago in St. Louis under the SEIU and ACORN nuts intimidating private citizens in CT. No, I'm afraid Ms. Katie, who sounds young, is profoundly ignorant of our history. But she is clever for notice how she artfully frames the question "a liberal who...a Republican". We will never know the politics of most of the victims of the above traitors and malcontents but we do know they were fellow citizens of a country and culture the deranged lefties hated enough to maim and kill. And we also know they are selected precisely because they represent an America the left despises.
Bydand76| 11.25.09 @ 1:23PM
Katie,
Here's one for ya!
Dr. Theodore John Kaczynski!
There is no shortage of racist sentmient of the left either. Left wing facism is known for its anti semitic views.
I fail to see how supporting gun rights is relevant to this discussion but none the less progressives always seem to buy into that tripe regardless.
Educate yourself in this matter.
Name calling is not exclusive to only Republicans. I would suggest you real Liberal Readers posts in here sometime. Also, wasnt it Nancy Pelosi who started calling the protesters at the Health Care townhalls "Nazi's"?
Funny, it wasnt "right wing" thugs who beat up the vendor trying to sell flags at one of those townhall meetings either now was it?
As for the rest of your silly little rant. I have seen the same racist signs at Anti-War rallies and at the protests in Minneapolis during the Republican National Convention.
As far as Dr Tiller, The Olympic bombings in Atlanta and Timothy McVeigh and all the rest of those morons I think YOU need to quit being so steroetypical in your accusations.
Why don't you try to be the better party and quit trying to use a few irrational peoples actions as an excuse to justify your political ideology.
The Left is no innocent party.
Just look at the people with whom their glorious leader hung out with. William Ayers, Rev Wright. etc etc.
Which brings us back to this idiot who killed himself and then tried to make it look as though a "right-wing" something or the other was responsible.
What possibly could have been his motivation for that I wonder?
VinnieCCT| 11.25.09 @ 1:35PM
"... It's going to take a lot less rhetoric and a lot more tolerence from the right before people stop stereotyping them as racist and violent. ..."

The San Jose police never asked for the new information and soon said they found nothing new in their investigation.

Oswald shot AT JFK - hitting him in the neck with what everyone knows is the second shot. [The first shot hit the ground behind the limo.] Second shot would probably have been fatal had not the AR-15 round (the third shot) from the accidental Secret Service weapon discharge (from the trailing vehicle) not occurred. That's why Oswald said, perhaps truthfully, 'I didn't kill nobody.' He knows he didn't fire the third skull separating shot. Well, he did kill the policeman when he fled the scene. Lesson: everyone thinks they know the story and the alternatives - but most of the time they are wrongo.

Last I heard she was being booted out of Columbia, for among other things I think, plagarism and substandard work. The issue of the noose was never satisfactorily resolved and many suspected it was a self-perpetuated hoax for attention. You know the drill, done for the higher and noble goal of "raising consciousness" blah, blah, blah. If I remember correctly, once someone was rude enough to pose the question she quit cooperating with her superiors and the authorities, always a feature of such hoaxes.

Hercules won’t help you until you have all five items from Zeus’ quest. Once you have the five items, bring them to Athena. Zeus will appear and steal them. The big jerk! Once this happens, talk to Athena and she will tell you that Hercules will help you. You’ll need to have the magic mirror from Aphrodite because Hercules doesn’t want to have to walk. He’s so lazy!
