You answered your own question. The SPLC is already calling this nut a right-winger. We have a duty to point out that the nut used left-wing talking points in his diatribe.
It was actually a mixed bag. Neither side wants to claim him. He railed against big goverment a lot so that part is like us. The gripe about no health care sounds like a lib.
Agreed, if that is how you fell. But it won't be me who will be doing the pointing out.

Ozzy is right.
I just went to the SPLC website and sure enough they've already labeled, categorized, and classified that nut as a 'Right Wing Extremist', fueled by Tea Party anti government hate. Why? Because that NUT was anti IRS and anti government (he hated Bush).Carry on FReepers :-)But I also read the comments at the end of that SPLC (cough) 'article' and a couple folks commented how odd it was that the SPLC has completely ignored Left Wing Mass Murdering Wacko, professor Amy Bishop. So some 'right wing extremist' (/s) trolls have invaded the SPLC website and caught them with their 'hypocrisy pants' down :-)
Another 'odd' thing about the SPLC website is their 'Hate / Terrorist Group List'. I searched and double checked my search and nowhere to be found is any Communist or Socialist organization or group listed. And you can't much more anti USA Government than died-in-the-wool Communists. Then again, if the SPLC listed Communist Groups, they'd have to list themselves.
So, that's it. Just wanted to confirm that the left has already started the spin. Joseph Stack was a 'right wing, tea party loving, anti government, extremist nut'. The SPLC says so.
