Why not look at the average persons frustrations with all things goverment. You cannot address your grivences in a court(gov.)is ALLWAYS right and you are allways wrong,you cannot use the courts to address Gov. wrong doing. You either seath with pent up anger or you take one of the few courses left open to you to pubically voice your displeasure.
When you have people running our Goverment like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi,who tell you stick it where the sun dont shine,WE tell you what is good for you and youd better accept it,I wonder why incidents like this dont happen daily.
Its easy to label a person a nut or terrorist but no one wants to set down and reason as to why this man did this?
Condone it? Hell no! Understant this persons frustration with our Goverment,hell yes!

Actually, no. The spam filter caught it after it appeared as a comment? Interesting. It was up for over half a day before it disappeared

I’m telling you it was in the spam filter. You said I deleted it. You were wrong and criticized me for something that wasn’t true.

Most would simply apologize and move on. You obviously don’t have the wits, or the emotional maturity to do that - not to mention the vocabulary of a sophomore in high school.

Nice, Rick.

You delete my comment, which attacks no one and states that if you pay your taxes you wont’ have IRS problems, yet you allow a post that calls our President an “idiot asshole”.

And you complain about honest, civilized discourse disappearing.

Nice.

Gee - maybe if you had a larger vocabulary and didn’t use the word “fuck” in your comment, my spam filter wouldn’t have captured it. I usually don’t even bother to look at my spam so you’re lucky this time.

Now - don’t you feel like even more of an asshole than normal?

Obviously left-wing extremists are the greatest terror threat to this nation after their fellow travelers among the Islamists. After the Obama fanatic gunned down fellow professors in Huntsville and after this guy, I imagine Homeland Securitu will start to monitor the DailyKos and Jackson-Jefferson banquets. That’s what DHS does, right? I vaguely recall some sort of crackdown on conservative groups after this idiot asshole became president.

Stack was a nut job…pure and simple. Attempting to portray him otherwise is foolish and ultimately a waste of time. On the subject of taxes, I do remember a time in this country when the vast majority believed you owed something for being an American…whether it was paying taxes, going off to war…you owed your country and your fellow Americans. As I have grown older, that notion seems to have disappeared. I remember after 9/11 seeing 2 bumper stickers side by side. One was a “taxes are too high” message, and the other simply read “Freedom Ain’t Free”…I wonder if the driver ever saw the irony? DEE

I am from the Austin area, this guy (Stack) went to the UU church I was in till last month. He is a far left wing dude. Much like the other folks in that church. I was very slightly aquainted with stack, He was off the left end.

Here’s a simple, but often overlooked point:

Pay your taxes.
Pay ALL your taxes.
Pay ALL your taxes ON TIME.

You won’t have problems with the IRS.

I work in several states every year, for 2009, I just filed a Federal Tax Return, a California Tax Return, Georgia Tax Return, Louisiana Tax Return, an Iowa Tax Return, and a Pennsylvania Tax Return.

In the past 10 years, I’ve never filed less than two state returns in addition to my federal form. I make a good living, so no complaints. But I learned at an early age “Dont’ fuck with the IRS.”

Why some people choose to go to war with this particular agency, when they’re obviously wrong in their tax returns, is baffling to me.

Chuck, now you’re just being mean. She’s new here — she didn’t know she couldn’t just spout random bullsh!t and not get called on it around here.

Its okay Jenn. I mean sure, we’re all laughing at you for being a mindless partisan hack, but at least you try to keep the nonsense on your own site, so kudos for that. Plus you get a bonus point for taking your blog tagline from Duke Nukem, so you’re certainly doing better than most others around here.

Then I read your blog article:

“Liberal Terrorist Joe Stacks Attacks IRS In Austin”

Please explain how your brain works.

Awww River Rat, thanks. That was perfectly said. And spot on.

And no, this was not an act of terrorism. Terrorism is designed by foes to terrorize a population. Do you remember on 9/11. The confusion? The news reports of possible targets, planes still in the air not responding, not knowing. Jihadi’s use terrorism to bring fear and uncertainty. You never know how or when they’ll hit and they all fight for the same reasons.

This guy was a homicidal pseudo victim in his own mind bent on revenge. Nothing more.
