Is Joe Stack a terrorist? Yes, Did anything else in that video blog make sense? Not even close. Obviously Stack was a nut job at the best. He was a super evil guy at the worst. Killing innocent employees, even if those employees are employees of the government, doesn’t mean it’s OK. It doesn’t even compare with the revolutionaries of 1776. Not one single thing said besides that made sense. The three arms (1st arm-terrorist, 2nd arm-terrorist, 3rd arm-terrorist) of the Tea Party-ers is just lame.

Wait Davis, you do know that Joe Stack’s suicide note demonstrated that he favored communism right? Granted some of the rest of his manifesto made the rest of his political views up in the air, but I wouldn’t necessary label him as a right-wing tea partier either.

Whether or not Joe Stack was a terrorist he was a communist. Quote from his suicide note:

“The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.”

If you don’t believe me look it up.

Davis, this was just a guy that hit his breaking point. His views were all over the place.

Great Video! Yes the false 2 party system continues as people vote for the party rather than the issues. Good job people. Make the Libertarians stand for your rights. (Joe Stack not libertarian- Joe Stack communist).

davis, i think you’re overanalyzing these guys and completely forgetting their common thread amongst us who are sick of the government bs.
you sound exactly like those conservative pundits bitching about all those sleeper cell liberals progressives. you’re either falling into that bullshit political game or pushing it, but i would guess you don’t realize it.

Whhaaa the Tea Party is doing an excellent job calling out the fuhrer.

Joe Stack didn’t file himself under a political group. Stack is the consequence of when people have nothing to loose they lose it.

Militia’s are constitutional, the term militia appears 6 times in the US Constitution.

And you don’t want your millitiary to uphold the constitution before any political party?

I thought you libtards were anti fascism. Now it’s still fascist to uphold the US Constitution?

I read it in its entirety. Just because he quoted Marx at the end doesn’t mean he was showing respect for the doctrine; he was just using it to contextualize the joke “for each according to his greed, from each according to his gullibility.”

Criticizing capitalism, at least the way Joe wrote about it, does not say anything about his economic or political convictions. Lack of overt criticism towards Obama does not make him a communist either.

He failed at cheating the IRS; that pissed him off.

I think your characterization of the Tea Party phenomenon is incorrect. Also, you can hardly call Mother Jones a credible source.

Still, I appreciate your conviction.
