Rep. Jason Chaffetz: Census Workers Include Rapists and Molester

[Whateverintheworld]

Jason, the form is mailed. What wrong with you?

[tryest]

this guy is an ASS

[dmack360]

The issue is about an Organization that the Prez started his political career with starting a census. That is an issue in itself, conflict on interest. That is the equivalent of having Dick Cheney allowing Haloburton to do the Census. Im sure you libs would love that.

[fishhead06]

Lock up the women and children! The census workers are coming!

[flowergirl1313]

Well, mailing your form back would let you avoid people coming to your door.

[marniespeaks]

so do churches, schools and congressmen

what should we do close them down until were sure?

or get samples of everyone's dna?

what will satisfy this guy?

or is he just finding ways to make political hay?

republicans like to scare people

that's the only way they get votes

[carrierexchange]

Let's not forget the devil

[DrLeroyGreen]

What is this weird paranoia over knowing how many people there are?

[corncat]

Hee heee "LIttle Green Footballs" beclowned themselves by claiming that Chaffetz said ' tens of thousands of census takers may be rapists and child molesters'. Note that he says that tens of thousands of census takers did not have background checks done.

Not the same thing.

Tisk.

[Richardgwm]

I hope Representative Chaffetz' constituents do the smart thing and not fill out the census. Then his district will be eliminated for lack of population.

[MidnightChimes]

So isn't congress.

[carrierexchange]

IN-SANE

[MidnightChimes]

I think he's confusing Halloween with the census.

[Francebrasil]

Salacious backgrounds?? How about some GOP senators wandering airport stalls or some Appalachian trail.. The list goes on and on.... Hipocrites

[dogstar7]

The Greatest Story Ever Told begins with a census.

Good thing Joseph wasn't a conservative.

He when all the way to Bethlehem to get counted.

With a pregnant 'wife', no less. Look it up.

[bleunt]

be afraid!

[dave777blaster]

They use criminals for jobs like acorn census because they know they can trust the criminals

honor among thieves

the can trust them to squeal on the rest of America .

weasels hire weasels.

[codediporpal]

FYI: ACORN is not doing any census work for 2010.

This guy is just going on about a few hundred ex-cons getting hired out of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of temp worker to do the census. Might as well get paranoid about who's flipping your burger.

OH MY GOD! DID THAT GUY COMMIT A CRIME IN THE PAST?!?! AHHH!!!! HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!!!!

[RodgersRevolution]

Is there anything the repubs won't try to destroy? Can no one else see this evil empire that has reared its ugly head?

[pwl1980]

Its paramount that American people have any confidence in Mor(m)on politicians.

I realize that pretty much every religion has some dose BS in it but most of them are so old that its hard to figure out.

But mormonism is a fucking magic. Joseph Smith is laughing his ass off while rolling in his grave and shouting: "I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT. THOSE IDIOTS TOOK IT FOR REAL, HA HA HA..."

[cryan71]

Child Molestation? Rape? Manslaughter?

Well I guess we need to get them jobs as priests, rabbis, mormon elders and preachers.

[vidann1]

To cryan: you forgot to add politicians who cheat on their wives, their children and the people who elected them.

[sirdaveysockrocker]

hmmm ODD that the census bureau would just DECIDE to do some background checks incorrectly. as if the government doesnt USUALLY have a set way of doing things. yeeeaa im pretty sure this guy is a liar. the GOP HATES the census because then they see how many more poor ppl there are that THEY caused AND the pop. number goes up, usually due to minorities so INSTEAD of appealling to minority voters, theyd just want them to NOT be counted at all.

[KataVideo]

Let me get this straight.. a MORMON is complaining about people who go door-to-door?

fuck off and take the JW's with you.

[atm94404]

Shall we go down the list of rapist and molesters that have been in Congress? Those who live in glass houses, Jason...

[kcp12304]

The GOP is hoping some paranoid redneck shoots a census worker

[dave777blaster]

too late they already hung one abd carved FED on his chest

[codediporpal]

Was that you?

[junkforkaryn]

the weak suck republican's disdain for people knows no bounds--now they don't even want them counted!

[Innize]

I hold Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann responsible for the death of the census worker in Kentucky.

Now this guy wants in on the guilt?

[franknyt]

Sooo, it is completely justified to strip them naked hang them with duck tape in a national forest.

Open season on Census takers!!!

[dogstar7]

LIES!

All census workers undergo a criminal background check.

No exceptions. No basis for this claim, whatsoever.

Don't argue with "WRONG"

If this is patently untrue (and it is) there must be an ulterior motive for spreading this dangerous lie.

One life has been taken, so far.

How many more?

The blood on Bachmann's hands now washes over Chaffetz's, also.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

Whose life has been taken?

[TrollBuster9090]

"Whose life has been taken?"

A census worker named Bill Sparkman was murdered in Kentucky, and hung from a tree with the world "Fed" written across his chest.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

OMG...I couldn't believe what you wrote but then I googled it and you're absolutely right!

What kind of animal could have done this...

[codediporpal]

people like dave777blaster, that's who.

[dave777blaster]

I am a Canadian

I look south and see once great cities

dangling in the third world

cities that won ww2 DEtroit now look like hiroshima at ground zero 1945

yet Berlin and Heroshima are modern and well built cities.

The mentality that allowed all of the great American Cities to become third world slums ,is one that is full of greed .

Accorn no longer has to do census work for 2010 it has found better digs since Obama got into power.

The whole system is out of order and is corrupt

[maizeysugah]

The GOP is the party that wanted the census to be taken door to door!!!!!!!!!!! This is so fucking stupid.

[studio7manga]

I also love the premise of the statement. Basically, 'If a person has committed a crime and served their time in jail when they get out they should never be able to work anywhere ever again.'

[chingon711]

they might as well set up shop at their local correctional facility and hire them on the stop as they are released from prison.

[studio7manga]

Fear is all the GOP has left.

[Clagnaught]

Way to give more angry people a wink and a nod

[TrollBuster9090]

No kidding!

Glenn Beck and Fox News have already given the de facto nod to killing census workers because they're part of a New World Order plot to round everybody up and put them in FEMA camps. Now they've closed the deal by saying it's okay to kill census workers because they're all rapists, child molesters, and (wost of all) ACORN employees.

If their goal is to ruin the census (and best) and get people killed (at worst) they're doing a great job!

[whoo689]

I'm not defending criminals, but why does this matter? Why does it matter if "rapists and molesters" are in the census? Do you REALLY believe they joined just so they can legally go to door to door, and once people open the doors, they'll rape or molest? come on! There's no evidence of that.

Why are Republicans starting this Census fearmongering NOW? In their eyes, the Census just magically became evil simply b/c Obama is president? Sickening

[whoo689]

Even when Clinton was in office, the GOP never made salacious statements like this against such a nonpartisan, benign agency like the Census.

[maskedphrogg]

How very naïve, or just a fake disdain.

This gave these depraved criminals the opportunity to do a little background checking and possibly just find households that are most vulnerable to their particular style of attack.

It's like giving the local B&E artist the chance to look over all the homes in a block and make better estimation of who has the best gear to steal and who has the most easily defeated security in place.

A splendid way to hide what would normally be suspicious behaviour.

[facelesshorseman]

I Wonder what happened to the story of the murdered census worker? Maybe this is a preemptive strike against forthcoming revelations about that case.

[cosmosgato]

Great I hope all the republicans hide and don't get counted and all their house seats zero out!

[2tsaybow]

Salacious statements made to bring fear into peoples perspective. Thats what the Republican Party is all about.
