Here we are just 24 hours after the murder of Security Guard, Johns and just 2 weeks after the mowing down of Dr. Tiller and Private, William Young, and the freepers are advocating the intimidation of census workers with guns, dogs and evasive answers. The irony of advocating threatening people with guns after three separate acts of domestic terrorism in two weeks is totally lost on them.
They are reacting to an article by the Better Business Bureau, as seen on the Post Gazette by Larry Walsh, http://www.post-gazette.com/... this is the original article. Clicking on it will NOT take you to Free Republic. The article will give advice on how to avoid being scammed by people posing as census takers. The freepers, on the other hand, will give many more tips for imposters and actual census takers.
Follow me after the fold for an eye opening experience.

Just glance at the s/n area on your gun and pretend to repeat what you just saw.

Mr. King said census workers will have a badge, a handheld device, a census bureau bag and a confidentiality notice.
Handheld device?
I've got one of them. With six independent subsystems.

Simple solution to this problem is that if ANYONE you don’t know comes on your property when you are home, should be treated as a threat and run off ... PERIOD!

They will have to climb a fence and walk awhile to get to the house. Then the dogs will have fun and so will I. I keep the compound (I love that word) locked and I’m loaded, that came out wrong, well you get the idea!

Cool. Mine is handheld, but it takes two hands and operates with a pump action.

Yep! You read those correctly. Instead of asking questions, or answering them, grab your gun. Now git to it.
I also promised you some tips on how to answer the questions. Well, I won’t disappoint, here comes a few of the more creative.
I’ll just ask if they work for ACORN. I’ll probably be able to judge by the reaction to the question.
Then again, maybe I’ll just claim to be working on something for the homeowner and not answer any questions...

I doubt they’ll be able to steal my identity when all they will get is "Five people live in this household.", just like that’s all they got last time around.

Why are they doing a census in the year before The Census??????????

When they ask for race, say "Native American".
If you were born here, you are a native American.

any one besides me get a "Republican Census" in the mail from our wonderful GOP leaders? I tossed mine.
I never toss any mail that has a return postage paid envelope. I stuff the envelope with other junk mail from others and send it back.

Well now, that the evasive answer section is done. Let’s move on to what freepers really do well, racial slurs.
No way will I answer anything honestly. I live with 24 illegal messicans that all need health care and I need a new car,cell phone and will ask them to tell my bank I don’t have to pay my mortgage. I will cry and cry until ACORN HELPS ME!

Yo no hablo inglés. Siento mucho. Regrese más tarde, usted puerco.
If they answer in Spanish, then:
Ich spreche kein Englisch. Ich bin sehr traurig. Kommen Sie später, Sie Schwein, zurück.
Klingon would be my next step.

Since total ignorance is what elected the current obamanation, I think it's reasonable to answer every single question they ask, including my name and address, with;
"I jes don know"

So, once again, these people display their baser instincts, rather than logic. Shoot. If that doesn’t work, answer the question so the data benefits no one, not even yourself. If all else fails, make racial and ethnic slurs. The last one is always a winner, endears you to so many people, especially if the census taker is from your own community.
I sure do hope that this particular hate site is being monitored by the FBI. I sure hope the FBI takes these threats more seriously than they did for Dr. Tiller, or Mr. Johns. Both of those murders at least had some chance of being stopped. PFC, Long was the exception in this case as no prior threats or warnings have been recorded.
