Send the body to Glenn Beck…Is it possible that the time has come for the FCC to consider exactly what constitutes screaming fire over the publicly owned airwaves? And what if Mr. Sparkman’s murderer(s) is never found? How many other lunatics will be emboldened to make their own anti-government statement as the voices of Beck, Limbaugh and Dobbs echo in their ears?

Nobody ever intended our public airwaves to be turned over to irresponsible voices. 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.

Oh, but who could forget:

“why would a murderer(s) take such pains to so blatantly convey anger, fear, and vitriol towards a Census employee? Perhaps because some on the right have created an impression that Census employees are terrifying.

Earlier this summer, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) waged a high-profile, wildly-dishonest campaign against the Census. “

He actually called for the government to take someone off the air for their responsibility in a murder. He blamed the TEA parties, their leadership, and good people who are remarkably non-violent in spite of being violently attacked. He disagrees with them, so he exploits tragedy to slur them.

Of course, Sullivan also used his government connection to get out of a drug conviction. I guess I can’t act surprised that he lies a lot, too.

[A]lthough I clearly suspected foul play and believed it wasn’t suicide, I drew no firm conclusions about the actual perpetrators of this act.

Of course, he also wrote that “no suicide” is “the one thing we know for certain now in the case of the Kentucky lynching.”

When it comes to lack of credibility, Sullivan and Greenwald are in a class by themselves.

Actually, in the broader, European sense of conservative (which I guess Sully, if he is still calling himself a conservative, subscribes to), there is. Southern populism was a resistance to the changes wrought by industrialization (especially the railroads) and capitalism; not to mention the rise of former slaves and the children of former slaves from the bottom rung of society.

Does that mean those of us who value liberty and oppose statism–and who feel no urge to kill census workers–should pull in our horns?

Should? No. Does? Yes. How many conservatives hesitate to speak out against affirmative action because they don’t want to get called racist? Or against illegal immigration because they’re afraid of being labeled anti-Hispanic? Or against same-sex marriage because they don’t want to get lumped in with the murderers of Matthew Shepard?
