The destruction of the IRS office in Austin, Texas, has made suicidal pilot Joe Stack a hero to right wing extremists in the "patriot" movement.

Joe Stack is already a hero to the right-wing "tea party" movement.
It is strange that the young man who was arrested on Christmas Day for his pitiful attempt to bring down a passenger plane was immediately labeled a terrorist. But now, listening to talk radio, the right-wing media are in spin mode and are proclaiming this loser a hero. These Kool-Aid merchants are saying that Stack speaks for the average American. But what would these same merchants say if he'd had a Muslim surname?
Stack may have had some legitimate complaints, but he went about it the wrong way. My prayers go out to his family and to the victims that were harmed.

In one stroke, Stack has shown how impossible it is to win a "war on terror."
The Tea Tantrumers never fail to demonstrate that their so-called "adherence" to the Constitution and American values is an industrial size pooper scooper of bull pucky.
