[nc4bo]

20. It's going to be a long day of reporting messed up FB sites....nt

[Maraya1969]

36. Everyone with a FB account join the fan club and post on their discussion boards

they may be taken down but we can flood them for awhile

[Parker CA]

2. Those people are insane.

[spanone]

3. damn, just read this.....'finally" ?????

Finally an American man took a stand against our tyrannical government that no longer follows the constitution and is turned its back on its founding fathers and the beliefs this country was founded

[tallahasseedem]

4. Isn't there some way...

to alert this profile? I understand the right to free speech, but this is ridiculous.

[left coaster]

12. There is..

Log in to Facebook, scroll to the bottom of this page and there is a "report group" choice.. And yes, I reported it.

[uppityperson]

13. there is an alert at the bottom, for racist speech, calls to violence.

[dmallind]

23. No please don't. Let it stand so the public knows who supports this guy

There is plenty in his letter that could peg him to the left. Probably more than could peg him to the right and certainly in easier soundbites. If the Teabaggers want to claim him for gods' sakes let them or it could easily be painted on us.

[fascisthunter]

25. exactly

[CurtEastPoint]

5. AND it has the Tea Party 'don't tread on me' logo plus this charming...

quote which we have all seen.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants".....Thomas Jefferson


Fucking crazy. Just... just crazy.

[villager]

8. It's nutty, but the nuttiness is going to reinforce and amplify itself

...for awhile longer yet...

we haven't seen the last of the "acting out," I'm afraid...

[appleannie1]

9. We live in a sick world

[HeresyLives]

10. Took longer than I thot. It's been hours!

RW teabaggers may regret their eagerness to claim him tho.

[AllentownJake]

11. I read part of his ramblings

I don't think he was a Tea Bagger. But if they want to own him, they sure can.

[Cirque du So-What]

14. Found this writing on the wall:

Larry Thomas the dude is not a terrorist he is a hero and a patriot TAXES ARE STRONG ARMED ROBBERY AND IF YOU DONT CO OPERATE THEYLL LOCK UR ASS AWAY WITH THE VERY FUCKING MONEY THAT THEY FUCKING TOOK AWAY

:thumbsup: Chris, Angelene and Emily like this

These people are fucking nutz!

[Mari333]

15. the 'fans' are growing fast on there

I find it all highly amusing for some reason.

[AllentownJake]

16. Most of his rant was about big business

I'm willing to bet we are going to find out he was laid off, had health problems, and his house was being taken. His wife and step daughter didn't die.

Not going too much into speculation, but I think that building was just a target of opportunity.

[dgibby]

24. He had major tax problems.

He flew the plane into the IRS office in that building.

[Spazito]

31. He was a rabid anti-tax nutcase...

Joined an anti-tax organization in the 80s, didn't pay any taxes, got caught to the tune of owing $40,000+, blamed everyone and everything but himself and then tried to take out as many people as he could, including his own family, flying his privately owned aircraft in a building that, reportedly, housed the IRS.

Sick POS, imo.

[AllentownJake]

33. He didn't kill his wife or step daughter

Generally, they are the first victims before such a rampage, this is something different than I've seen in the past domestically. McVeigh had no close family.

I want to emphasize because, saying someone appears to be sane or understand the actions better, doesn't mean the person is noble or people are condoning the actions.

[Spazito]

48. He set his house on fire, leaving his family homeless...

before getting in his aircraft and trying to take out as many people as he could to 'send a message'. You may call that sane, I certainly do not.

[dave29]

50. they also happened to be in the house.

Which is sad.

[Spazito]

51. The first news reports were saying that but it seems those reports were incorrect...

"Elbert Hutchins, who lives one house away from Stack's home in a quiet, tree-lined middle-class neighborhood, said the house caught fire about 9:15 a.m. He said a woman and her teenage daughter drove up before firefighters arrived.

"They both were very, very distraught," said Hutchins, a retiree who said he didn't know the family well. "'That's our house!' they cried 'That's our house!' ""

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35460268/ns/us_news-life/

I am relieved they were not in the house at the time as first reported.

[cali]

37. baloney. his rant was mostly about the IRS

and maybe he should have sold his fucking plane and paid his taxes.

[AllentownJake]

39. I take back some of my initial impressions

I think this wasn't even about the national IRS. This was Joe vs. the Austin branch, and he threw in populist rhetoric from the RW and LW to justify his revenge on the agents who were on his case.

[cali]

42. exactly.

[alfredo]

22. will the teabaggers turn against big business? I'm not sure

the Republicans can control them forever.

[TeeYiYi]

18. The creator of this fb page is a huge Glenn Beck fan. Surprise. (not) ...nt

TYY

[fl_dem]

19. I reported as well,...n/t

[Beaverhausen]

26. so did I

[mod mom]

21. check out the photo page

seems to want HC reform and praises EU over US in healthcare.

[SharonRB]

28. His statement speaks against Bush, but I didn't see

anything against Obama.

[mod mom]

43. Since this FB site wasn't his but his supporters, I'm wondering if someone is trying

to pin this loon on the left.

[SharonRB]

56. That's what I'm thinkin' n/t

[guitar man]

27. let it grow

let the teabaggers own this guy and let his act of terrorism be tied to them. Maybe this will signal the beginning of the end for this ridiculous "movement"

[progressoid]

32. Nah, they are claiming he's a "lefty"

This guy was a BUSH HATER, he was a LEFTY! Your crap is all over twitter that the Teabaggers are embracing him, so I guess that makes you a Teabagger. I'm a Tea Party Patriot and this guy is a left wing Bush-hating nutcase and a perfect example of how far the "hate bush" crowd will go.

I know, don't try to figure it out. :crazy:

[guitar man]

34. bullshit

He may have been a bush hater, but the way I'm reading it is he had his whole life vested in capitalism and it blew up in his face....

[Mari333]

29. now the owner of the website is quoting Tim McVeigh

okayyyy these people are fucking nuts

[EFerrari]

30. Barely contained violence. And *this* is the "grassroots" movement

people are so impressed by. :puke:

[Maraya1969]

35. I joined at became a fan an this is what I wrote that will be pulled down soon.

If this man was a member of the Taliban you would be screaming that a terrorist attack happened on Obama's watch and that we are at war.

But because he believe what you believe you think he is a hero. There is something wrong with all of you.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. LOL One of the discussion topics:

"Do you think Joe Stack did it for the chicks?"

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&gid=323208187216

[Vinca]

40. One of the wingnuts seemed to be suggesting kamikaze missions.

Just what we need - teabaggers in planes.

[upi402]

41. Fox News must be stopped. It's yellong FIRE in a crowd

How far do these guys get to go in inciting murder and revolt?

[Viking12]

44. Appears to have been removed.

[Maraya1969]

45. Why are they saying that George Washington was a terrorist?

In an attempt to justify this man's actions.

[stillwaiting]

46. It will be deleted.

The right wingers have been screaming that this guy was a left wing ideologue.

If ALL of the "fans" of the asshole are right wingers and NONE are left wingers, it kind of doesn't allow the masters of right wing propagandists to label him left wing.

I guess they COULD do it and just pretend that the fan page doesn't exist, but I would bet against.

[rucky]

52. I think it has been

I just tried to click on the link & it went to my homepage.

Unless the fan club has been moved to my homepage. that would suck.

47. Fanatic Tax Haters Set Up A Joseph Andrew Stack Fan Club On Facebook

Just a few hours after Joseph Andrew Stack killed himself in an attack on an Austin building that housed local IRS office someone went and set up a fan club for him on Facebook. It already has 124 members. (I think Politico reported 250 ~ Emit)

"Finally an American man took a stand against our tyrannical government that no longer follows the constitution and is turned its back on its founding fathers and the beliefs this country was founded on," the page explains.

~snip~

The fan page also uses the line from Thomas Jefferson that crazy political types, like the guy who brought a gun to a town hall meeting with Barack Obama, just love. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Update: Robert Quigley at Geekosystem has discovered 3 more Stack fanclubs:

http://www.geekosystem.com/joe-stack-facebook-groups-joseph-andrew-stack/

Given the state of Internet trolling, it was probably inevitable, but that doesn’t make it any less disturbing: since the news this morning that Joseph Andrew Stack was the pilot of the small plane that crashed into the Echelon Building in Austin, Texas, which housed almost 200 IRS employees, a number of Facebook groups have sprouted up in praise of Stack. Among them: “Joseph Andrew Stack, we salute thee,” “The Philosophy of Joe Stack,” and “The Joe “Take My Pound Of Flesh” Stack Anti-IRS Fan Page.”

49. FBI FLYPAPER ALERT

[ShortnFiery]

53. Something gives me the impression that Agents "Mike" and "Mary" are monitoring these links?

Ya think? :evilgrin:

[uppityperson]

54. It is deleted. Good job all who alerted!

[Viking12]

55. I wish it had been left up. It would have exposed the teabag douchebags for what they are.

[uppityperson]

57. back with another address, and here is a better one...
