Potok’s mommy has to tuck him in at night...he sees monsters everywhere.
No word that he is being praised by the lefties at HuffPo. Just an allusion to “patriot” movement trying to tie him to the right.
I have never heard of Mr. Potok. But before I clicked on the link, I had now doubt that the outfit he was the director of was SPLC. Truly a fraudulent organization.
And on another note... People also like watching TV shows like 24 (myself included) where the hero also routinely is outside the mainstream when it comes to taking the law into his own hands.
THEY do it, then blame *US*.
He was a lefty to the core —I guess Ayers was one of OURS..?
People identify with him because they understand somebody being driven insane by government harassment - as the state grows larger and more invasive, people will do more extreme things.
That said, this man is nobody’s hero. He endangered the lives of many innocents, stole personal property, and in general sounds totally self centered and crazy. He is not one of us.
And frankly, after reading his manifesto I know he was not a tea partier. He just says too much that smacks of MSNBC propaganda.
Let me be the first.
B.S. Anybody who thinks someone who fly’s a plane into a building trying to kill innocent people is a hero should be taken out back and shot, plain and simple. The guy is/was a coward and those that “hero-worship” him are even worse.
These idiot cowards and NOT the people we want in the conservative movement, and to let the media lump them in with us is criminal.
We need to speak LOUD and OFTEN about how those nut-jobs are NOT conservatives and are simply taking a very “Liberal” approach with their misplaced “Hero-Worship”.
We should make the mantra, “ He was as far to the right as Amy Bishop”.
He has a beard. 99% sure he’s a Liberal.
Libtards and their obsession with symbolism reminds me of a cat watching the swirling water in a toilet...toss in a little floating thingee and they just might jump in after it.
Come on Potok NAME NAMES...Lawyers are eagerly waiting for the media types to slander people.
You obviously have no ability to anaylize. You must have a dwindling bank account over at the SPLC. Spreading your hate. Like all good Socialist.
If you read the “manifesto”, you say...”Okay. He has an issue with taxes. Could be a Tea Party type...”
Then you read further, and you see:
1.) Hates George W. Bush.
2.) Hates Capitalism.
3.) Hates the Insurance Companies.
4.) Quotes Karl Marx.
He is a deranged moonbat. Game. Set. Match. I reject that POS completely. I have a small degree of sympathy because he appears to be mentally ill, but he squandered that by taking out innocent people instead of flying his worthless ass into the side of a deserted mountain.
This is bull!
Almost immediately after the atrocity in Austen, at this site Freepers were posting that Joe Stack was a flaming liberal cry-baby and a murderer.
Hardly a right-winger.
Let me be the first. B.S. Anybody who thinks someone who fly’s a plane into a building trying to kill innocent people is a hero should be taken out back and shot, plain and simple. The guy is/was a coward and those that “hero-worship” him are even worse.I agree with you 100%. But let's not also forget that the guy's rant was 98% liberalism. Anti-capitalism, ant-corporations, anti-religion, pro government health care. And he ended his rant with an ode to Communism and a slam on Capitailism.
The liberals own this one!
Just another bitter communist who wanted an easy way to avoid the responsibility to “pay his fair share”, as so many of them do. He should have gone into a different line of work - some kind of cash business, perhaps. For example, my neighbor sells dope for a living and that's what he has done for 30 years. He never has a complaint with the IRS because the rest of us pay “his fair share”. He has to go through the revolving door at the local jail from time to time but it doesn't seem to bother him all that much.
There were a number of threads about this yesterday. As the facts gradually came out, the general conclusion was:
a) This guy was a leftist nutcase. Despicable for nearly murdering his wife and daughter as well as crashing the plane.
b) The press would predictably pretend that he was a “right wing extremist.”
Correct on both counts.
We are not extremists. The left would like us to be. They’re using Stack because they can’t find a TEA leader to do an Alinsky on, so they’re trying to Alinsky US via the lone psycho.
There are only two descriptive phrases for Stack:
KOOK BALL
COWARD
There is nothing else.
