By what is known so far it is *likely* that Joe Stack was a Tea Party attendee. He is not a communist. He could have been as you said a Laroucher. Some of them have attended Tea Parties.

Why are you and the others trying to stiffle discussion?

Where did I try to stifle discussion? I was adding to it. I was trying to figure out what the comment was about reporting abuse, etc, etc. I doubt in the least he was a tea-partier. From the link I posted, he quotes an obscure leftist author. Just because someone hates the IRS doesn't make them a tea partier, I know Democrat IRS employees who hate the IRS. There is a universal disgust of that group by anyone who has had to deal with them.

Not a word about Zionists, neo-cons or Jews in the entire six pages. LaRouchers have a thing about Jews. A very big thing.

Why is it likely? Because he hated the IRS? Is it also likely that he's marched with Code Pink because he hated Bush?

He is not a communist.

He quotes Marx favorably in direct contrast to an anti-capitalist play on Marx's words. After reading the entire screed again, I don't think he knew what he was. But he was clearly more sympathetic to communism than he was to what's left of our system -- probably because no communist country's revenue service had ever audited him.

Speaking for myself, because we crossed into the realm of praising the guy. One poster -- who is either a troll or a ticking time-bomb -- said he loved Stack and suggested we have an obligation to follow in his footsteps. It was the single most bizarre post I've ever read here. And it's the kind of thing that can do serious damage to FR should it go viral.

In retrospect, I don't see anything else that rises to the level of that post. So, no, I don't care to see any purge. I just over-reacted to one really disturbing post that struck a nerve.

Joe Stack apparently suffered from a catastrophe of faith.

His faith in government collapsed. This paints him as a progressive.

A hard core statist who in the end discovered the fraud in statism.

The inevitable result of a faith which worships the false god of state.
