I bet he was affiliated with Acorn, and was asking some questions he shouldn't of been asking, and shot off his mouth to the wrong bunch of people. Glen beck is a hero, unlike Reed, Polisi. Go and pick up your welfare check.

Glenn Beck would demand that those who committed this crime be executed. The opponents of Glenn Beck, otherwise known as "The limp wristed Left" would demand that he get his daily ration of milk and cookies, after his daily massage while in a posh prison. You loosey lefties are THE REASON that America is having so much trouble. I remember when Americans had morals AND the rest of the world respected us.

Glenn Beck and his followers are patting themselves on the back right now! Read the comments above me and you can see.
"I bet he was affiliated with Acorn"
You can read that and tell that inbreeding is alive and well.

How do we know for sure that the census worker didn't commit suicide?

Yeah, he wrote "FED" on his own chest and then hung himself. At least it wasn't a hate crime. (white man). Of course unless hating FED's is a hate crime.
