The people in that building were just employees. They probably had nothing to do with his situation. He went after everyday people trying to make a living as a symbolic act.
Only on the outside. He had plowed through and spent all his retirement money to keep up appearances.

Living above your means..sound familiar ?

Anyone who uses the southern poverty law center as a source of information has lost credibility.

Hard to blame the IRS if your living above your means. He should have blamed the public library because he didn't check out a book on personal finances!

A leading Muslim advocacy group is pushing government officials to call the suicide plane crash in Texas “an act of terror,†saying that if a Muslim had been flying the plane there would be no hesitancy to call it terrorism.

On Thursday, Andrew Joseph Stack III flew a small plane into the IRS's four-story office building in Austin, killing himself and at least one federal employee.

It's okay to a right wing extremist when a white male crashes his plane into something but if a person of color did it we would have to invade _____ in response.

His manifesto strides both sides of the political spectrum..right wing and left wing. He rants about Bush and the Catholic church. Is that rightist ?

When you crash a plane into a federal building, what difference does it make what your rant is? He's nuts. Do you listen to crazy people? (Answer YES is you are a fan of Glenn Beck)

I was thinking the very same thing. It's like the conservatives quoting from newsmax.com.

Well you did say he was a "right wing extremist", not me.
How do you say that when he ranted on Bush and the Catholic church ?
I thought right wing extremists are loyal to Bush and follow the Church ?

You're labeling him for your own personal spin.
From that manifesto you cannot tell what political affiliation he had.
He rants about both sides.
