AP: Census worker hanged with 'fed' on body

I suppose Beck and Faux News will be cheering.

What scary is the responses

Fear mongering has consequences, specially when the lies come from a Congresswoman.

Fact:ACORN will not be taking the census

Fact: The census does ask about citizenship


Fact: What happens if I don’t respond?
Although the law makes it a crime not to answer the decennial census, the American Community Survey and other mandatory censuses, and authorizes the courts to impose a fine of up to $5,000 for failure to respond, the Census Bureau views this approach as a last resort. Rather than emphasizing or seeking the imposition of penalties, we encourage response by explaining the importance of the questions we ask and how the information benefits the community.

Fact: In 2010, every residence will receive a short form of just 10 questions.

Was he black?

Ed

OK: Don't know why I was so lazy. Only took a few seconds. He's a white guy. A dead white guy.

I think she was talking about the Short form does not as citizenship questions ? but the long one does.

My opinion
I took those 10 year census before with no problems with the questions - yes there were some questions that are sorta personal and some down right stupid

But hey I firmly believe that the census is very important how else would we know how many people are in traffic at any given hour , how many people are whackos , how many people need special care , how many people need jobs , how many people are under educated , how many people need medical insurance - yada yada

Only nimrods would believe the gov has alternative motives

And I don't by into her allegation that the gov used the census to round up Japanese either - much easier to used the phone book and pick out every Japanese name . Looks like what they did since if they used the census then why they picked up the US born ones ?

Keep in mind that these census figures also are used to determine voting districts.

Yes they use the population figures , to equal the voting numbers . We do that here , one consul person has 22,000 voters the other one has only 4,000 , so they try and balance the districts .

1 Beck + 1 Bachmann = 2 Fruitcakes

She's certifiable, he's gettin' there in a hurry.

LOL LOL

Well Beck does make some points - in his mind and said it in some ways

White affluent male "Beck" - gets a knock on the door "black male" ACORN -

1 - How many white women you have in the house ?
2 - How much money do you make ?
3 - What time EXACTLY you leave for work ?
4 - What time EXACTLY you come home from work ?
5 - Where does your white daughters go to school ?

Maybe it is just me but it seem Beck was on a racial slant

Here is the 2000 census form. It was 40 pages ... and tyranny/fascism/anarchy wasn't an issue with Clinton in the White House, was it?

Here's the kind of information the feds were able to derive from the 2000 census

Why has this 2010 census, which was produced by the Bush Administration, now have the rightwing heading for the Doom Bunker (and a census worker lynched)?

<bleh>
