Says she appreciates his anti-IRS anti-tax views about the government...from her home in Norway no less.
What is the world coming to?

The daughter of the deranged Texan who piloted a plane into an IRS building in Texas says her dad is a hero.
"I think too many people lay around and wait for things to happen. But if nobody comes out and speaks up on behalf of injustice, then nothing will ever be accomplished," Samantha Bell, Joseph Stack's daughter from his first marriage, told "Good Morning America" in a phone interview that aired Monday morning.
Stack killed Vernon Hunter, a 61-year-old IRS collection agent and a Vietnam veteran, when he steered his small plane on a suicide mission that burned down the Austin office building. He also set his own house ablaze and posted a bitter Internet rant against the IRS, Wall Street, the Catholic Church and corporate "thugs."
Even so, his daughter says he should be respected. Stack is a hero, Bell said, "because now maybe people will listen."
"I have many cases of people I know that are suffering in the hands of the government and people literally dying because they are not getting the help they need," she said.
The 38-year-old mother of three stopped short, however, of endorsing her father's last actions. The suicide plane attack was "inappropriate" and "wrong."
