AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The daughter of a man who crashed his small plane into an Internal Revenue Service building called her father a hero for his anti-government views but said his actions, which killed a tax service employee, were "inappropriate."

Joe Stack's adult daughter, Samantha Bell, spoke to ABC's "Good Morning America" from her home in Norway. Asked during a phone interview broadcast Monday if she considered her father a hero, she said: "Yes. Because now maybe people will listen."

Authorities say Stack, 53, targeted the IRS office building in Austin last week, killing employee Vernon Hunter and himself, after posting a ranting manifesto against the agency and the government......

He fathered her when he was 15?

... the only ones who seem to understand this case at all ...

I must admit that I didn't read the poor guy's entire screed, but I did catch some references to "the 1986 IRS ruling (not legislation) about Independent Contractors vs. employees".

That is enough to fully understand what the core of the fellow's gripe is against the IRS. That ruling turned millions of responsible, independent, business, engineering, technical, and medical professionals into prostitutes, and redistributed large percentages of their income (anywhere from a third to three quarters) to pimp agencies owned and staffed by the lowest lifeforms on the planet.

The whole concept of brokered employment is a restraint of free trade against the best and brightest, and the most productive members of society. It is every bit as despicable as the enslavement of runaway teens to low-life pimps in the prostitution business -- except there is a small chance the law will come to the aid of the runaway teen.

Can I take from this that you plan to bomb IRS offices in the near future?

Are you going to shout out “Viva Jefferson!” as you run away?

No one really cares how you take anything.

Since you are not bright enough to distinguish between someone who is pointing out a very grave danger from the one who is the danger, you are a danger. Those who love freedom have much more to fear from government worshiping collectivists like you, than from those who recognize what our government has become. Some of them will do desparate things, perhaps wrong things, but anyone who doubts it is going to happen, and does know the reason why, is part of the problem.

People will only allow themselves to be oppressed for so long. Which side are you on? The oppressors or the oppressed? If you’re on the government’s side, you are asking for more Joe Stacks. I don’t want to see any more.

That’s a excellent take on that 1986 Tax Code section 1706 kleptocatic act of thievery.

[rockrr]

Coward.

You rationalize away, and tacitly condone the dispicable acts commited by a lunatic and inappropriately dress it up with a quote from TJ and piously warn that “there will be more” but you won’t answer the question.

Are you going to man up and walk the walk or are you going to stand on the sidelines and encourage someone else to do your dirty work for you?

[Hank Kerchief]

Heh! I don't care what you say or think, but remember, everyone else can see what you write, and therefore exactly what you are--a name-calling trouble maker without a thought in your head. I suspect you do care what other people think&mdah;perhaps you should be careful what you write. Don't do it for my sake, however. Call me all the names you like if that helps assuage your feelings of inferiority.

Hank

[rockrr]

It is precisely because others can view what we write that I call you out you numb-skull. Your POV (endorsing domestic terrorism) is abominable and totally inappropriate to this forum. Normal people should be forewarned about nitwits like you...

I Wish Joe Stack Had Not Killed Himself!

Do you post at Stormfront as well?

Which begs a question. How do you crash a small plane into a goobermint office building at the height of business hours and only kill one poor guy? Where was everyone else?

The majority of his aircraft hit the first floor, which was mostly vacant at the time. Yes, he really was that incompetent. The majority of fiery photos and video you see if after the fire spread from his aircraft to the upper floors which had officer furniture, paper, etc., which was several minutes after the crash. People were able to evacuate by the time the second floor became engulfed.

It was helped by the fact that the county Hazmat team was training in a parking lot across the road and was able to get on scene and spraying down the plane within minutes:

Definitely.

She calls him a hero, yet he murdered a good Christian who was a retired US Army soldier and who had served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He also left her stepmother and half-sister homeless and possibly penniless.

Maybe she secretly hates her stepmother and half-sister and is happy they are homeless.

Who said he was? Yours is the only mention I see that includes the word conservative.

[mad_as_he$$]

Thanks for that info. I was puzzled by the lack of causalities and had not found a thorough story.

[af_vet_rr]

What’s really crazy is that normally the county Hazmat team doesn’t train with an actual firetruck, and one just so happened to have brought one of their new ones to show the other departments. If you were a really religious person, you might just think somebody was looking after the people in that building.

[Hank Kerchief]

“Do you post at Stormfront as well?”

I post wherever I damn well please, and it’s none of your business where I post. Why would you care? You love me that much! I’m flattered.

Now run off, sonny, and leave the adults alone to talk without being pestered with your inanities.

(You have no idea how much entertainment you are providing me and some of my friends.)

There were at least three run ins with the IRS. He made the first issue. Once he got on their bad side

Oh man...Ya don't want to get on their bad side now do ya?
