The Spectacle Blog
Law enforcement officials have concluded that the Kentucky census worker Bill Sparkman's death was suicide, and Professor William Jacobson is naming names:
What I want are some apologies from all the left-wing blog ghouls who danced on Bill Sparkman's grave hoping to score points by blaming conservatives for the death . . .
Michelle Malkin asks, "When will the Left retract the Kentucky census worker case smear?" And Red State blogger Moe Lane points to Bill Sparkman as author of the smear:
For the record: when you try to set up your suicide to make it look like you've been murdered by your ideological opponents, you have officially abrogated any obligation for me to be upset at your plight.
Indeed, it appears that Sparkman wanted blame for his death to fall on "anti-government" local residents. Having traveled to Kentucky to investigate the story myself, my question is, "Where do to the people of Clay County go to get their reputation back?"

Sorry, but the same is true for Republicans. Schwarzenegger never should have made it to the point of being supported by the GOP, let alone made it into office. Any legal analyst who's looked at his criminal past honestly has concluded that he should be serving at least twenty years in jail for his attacks on women, most likely in a controlled mental health unit. Instead, a mentally unstable violent sexual batterer is STILL being allowed to run California into the ground. The GOP must hang its head in shame for decades over this terrifying insult to women.

@Kell Brigan: Um... what the hell are you talking about????
Sir| 11.24.09 @ 4:33PM
Mr. Brigan, how about instead of dragging Republicans - whom you seem to equate with Conservatives - into this, you simply address the errors you deem evident in the story/post.
Oh, wait.
Warrior| 11.24.09 @ 4:38PM
Well then, I guess you must be pushing for William Jefferson Clinton's execution.
SoCon| 11.24.09 @ 10:27PM
Kell, if Schwarzenegger is such a beast, why is a liberal Kennedy still married to him after all these years??
Hmmm, speaking of the Kennedy family; how do you feel about Mary Jo Kopechne and the Lion of the Democrat party?
Moron.

I just posed your question "Where do to the people Clay County go to get their reputation back?" to a good friend of mine who was born in Clay County and he just replied by text... "The people of Clay County don't give a rat's a** what anyone else thinks about any reputation that may or may not exist." That just about sums up what you would expect from those great folks in lower GlenBeckistan! I love visiting the Manchester area, but only when I'm in the company of locals.

Liberal? you mean, like, Dubya?
Nixon? Ford?
Sir| 11.24.09 @ 5:17PM
Why don't you and Mr. Brigan get together and write an article entitled "Being a Republican Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry"?
Oh, wait.
Dubya' was hardly a conservative. Nixon, a paranoid Republican. Ford... what should he have apologized for? Seriously. I don't know. If there's something as major as what leftists commit, let me know and I'll retract this post.
Nick| 11.24.09 @ 7:43PM
In my opinion, Ford should have apologized for pardoning Nixon, being pro-abortion, and not giving ARVN forces military aid and air-support in March of 1975.
Sir| 11.25.09 @ 9:16AM
Mr. Nick, I certainly see your point, and I agree on a personal level. However, those decisions were Ford's prerogative, right? Wrong, though they may be at the time and certainly in retrospect, each of those actions was legal and Constitutional at the time, right.
Unless Ford was a philanderer or a tax cheat or a subversive communist like the CinC we have currently, I just don't agree with you in THIS context.
In the grand scheme, still, you're right.
Nick| 11.25.09 @ 11:06AM
Sir,
I wasn't implying Ford was crooked or violated the Constitution. I agree with you that these were his choices, they were just wrong. I was simply trying to answer the question you asked.
I also agree Ford wasn't as bad, when compared to others who've held the office of president. The best thing he did was veto all those bills.
Sir| 11.25.09 @ 12:38PM
Mr. Nick, you and I are not in disagreement.
Happy Thanksgiving, and a soon-coming Merry Christmas to you!
Nick| 11.25.09 @ 11:26PM
Sir,
Thank you, very much.
May you and your family also have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
God Bless.

Isn't part of the problem here assuming that "the Left" is a monolith that could possibly designate a spokesman to apologize?
I'm on the "left," I guess, but I never accepted any of the stories spun out on cable news.
And by the way: while cable news "lefties" did make much of this story, I never heard about it on NPR or saw it in the Times. Maybe they did stories on it, but they weren't predominant.
So exactly who would Ms Malkin like to apologize.
If this helps: as a liberal, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry a few bloggers and loudmouths on the television leapt to a stupid conclusion in this case.
Apology accepted?
SoCon| 11.26.09 @ 3:28PM
You're not sorry, moron; but you will be in 2010.
Oldefarte| 11.26.09 @ 2:06PM
Who care as to whatever happened to this census worker and why. Census workers are akin to the useless qualities of most welfare/make-work employment of government. Most citizens with a fifth grade education should be able to figure out how to fill in the needed answers of a census, whithout the unnecessary assistance of a census worker. With China's ramping up the education of its population, the sucking sound of this country's swilrling in the world's toilet bowl is deafening!!!!!!!!!

I'm still waiting for Bush to apologize for never having found any WMD's in Iraq, I'm still waiting for Conservatives to apologize for for the Valerie Plume scandal, the lies about Death Panels, inflated Tea Party protest numbers, Ron Paul, the lies about the ACORN lady who said she killed her husband, etc, etc, etc.
Conservatives are far worse at smearing people, lying and never, ever apologizing for it. They trash Muslims everyday on FAUX News, equating the faith with terrorism. They don't ever apologize for that, ever.

Who is Valerie 'Plume', Einstein? Please apologize for your pathetic stupidity. Publik Skool Edycation on display.
