Joseph Stack hated Bush and was a radical leftist; nice try.

365 days of being victimized by Obama and his band of closet commies!
When will god finally stomp his holy foot on the leftists and destroy them?
Maybe there is a consolation: Fox News is the truth, the way and the life. Only those who go by way of Fox News can find a place in heaven.

HATE is the perview of the left.
I agree that the left has had something of a lock on destructive behavior in the past, however, never once did I hear one elected official on the left condone any of that behavior, like we hear now from those on the right.
That is the main difference between what happened then and what is happening now. Not one person in elected office encouraged the rioters in Seattle or ever advocated for anything other than prosecuting members of the Weather Underground.

Now, we have someone fly a plane into a building killing someone and way too many people on the right are saying 'Good job.' There is something seriously wrong with this picture.

As for hate being the purview of the left, really?

His well-circulated rant was right-wing.

Stack is the latest in a long string of violent right-wing attacks in recent years. On May 31, 2009, Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers, was shot and killed in his church by the anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder. On June 27, 2008, an unemployed truck driver named Jim Adkisson walked into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee and opened fire, killing two. He attacked the Unitarian church for its acceptance of gays and support of abortion rights, and claimed he wanted to kill every Democrat in the House and Senate.

A good example is the upcoming Second Amendment March in Washington, D.C. The website promoting the march is topped by a picture of a colonial militiaman, and key supporters include Larry Pratt, a long-time militia enthusiast with connections to white supremacists, and Richard Mack, a conspiracy-mongering former sheriff associated with the Patriot group Oath Keepers.

What may be most noteworthy about the march, however, is its date — April 19. That is the date of the first shots fired at Lexington in the Revolutionary War. And it is also the anniversary of the fiery end of the government siege in Waco and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

"A good example is the upcoming Second Amendment March in Washington, D.C."

Those pesky Constitutional Amendments just ruin all the fun of a good fascist. I wonder what Obama would have done already had there not been a second amendment.

Anyone who advocates gun rights and other Constitutional Rights is just a racist or an idiot, as they cannot see the "greater picture" that only the Fuhrer can see. We have to learn more to trust in Obama, not our Constitution or common sense.

I haven't followed that closely. Do you have link(s) to elected officials on the right saying this? I'm not aware of any.

Rep. King called the actions 'justified.'

He'll never be a diplomat, that's for sure.

Nevertheless, in the interests of truthful reporting, he said "Get the video and put it on YouTube," King told POLITICO. "No one should be going out and conjecturing when they can go out and get the whole story."

He said he could understand the frustration, but after his dealings with the IRS, while he felt he didn't get a fair shake, he "channeled [his] frustration the American way and ran for office. Americans looking for an outlet for their frustration should join me in calling on Congress to pass a national sales tax and abolish the current federal tax code and the IRS.”

The the story was provided by an unnamed staffer for the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters who heard the comments, and that alone should send up caution flags and calls for careful reading for any thinking person. Understandably, the left just salivates at this kind of meat handed to them on a platter. King appears to have a habit of doing that, but he did not advocate physical violence, nor did he call the actions "justified". He has long been a proponent of simply eliminating the agency and substituting other means of revenue generation.

For anyone to turn this into "way too many people on the right are saying 'Good job.' " without substantiating it is in itself hateful and irresponsible. I didn't find those "way too many people". Overwhelmingly, the right also condems such actions.
