Erick Erickson yesterday threatened violence against census workers. The American Community Survey (ACS) are the folks who do the detailed interviews. Erikson had this to say to his radio audience:
ERICKSON: This is crazy. What gives the Commerce Department the right to ask me how often I flush my toilet? Or about going to work? I’m not filling out this form. I dare them to try and come throw me in jail. I dare them to. Pull out my wife’s shotgun and see how that little ACS twerp likes being scared at the door. They’re not going on my property. They can’t do that. They don’t have the legal right, and yet they’re trying.
The audio is available at Think Progress TP notes that according to the Census Bureau, response to the ACS "is required by law (Title 13 , United States Code, Sections 141, 193, and 221).
So yes, they do have the legal right.
Erickson reiterated his comments on RedState this morning, with the added whine that
naturally the left is out today saying I was on the air advocating killing census workers.
Congratulations, CNN, this turd is now all yours. I hope you'll be very happy together.
