Couldn't agree more.

Subject: [scifinoir2] OT: More Upsetting than Stack's Actions are those who
Understand His Feelings
Most frightening of all? I was watching CNN today ,and Rick Sanchez said they
were getting a *lot* of e-mails, Tweets, and Facebook messages from people who
said they understood this guy's feelings. They were quick to say they didn't
agree with his *actions*, but did understand how he felt so upset and helpless.
That's the kind of bullsh** talk that explains why Congress is paralyzed, Tea
Partyers abound, and we have a thinly veiled racist attack against all things
Obama. I find it amazing how so many "mainstream" Americans are so quick to
sympathize with those who rail against big government, the IRS, gun control,
etc. I remember when the government would go after nutty
racist/child-abusing/gun packing survivalist/white supremacy groups, many
Americans railed against the government. Terms like "jack-booted thugs" were
used to describe federal agents going after the Branch Davidians, where men
were force marrying eleven-year-old girls, yet the government was seen as evil.
Yet when that same government fights the "war on terror", or persecutes groups
like the Move Organization, or tortures foreign prisoners, suddenly that
government is just aces.
It still amazes me how many "mainstream" Americans are so quick to understand
hatred of the government, to sympathize with those who make all kinds of
threats against politicians, and to be proud of all but toting guns to rallies
and yelling about "the blood of patriots". And they get away with it. Todd
Palin hangs out with separatist Alaskan nutjobs, and his wife's a celebrity.
Michelle Obama says she's proud of America like never before, and she's a
commie/pinko traitor. If black people were half as vocal in expressing much
more justified hatred and distrust of the government, if we were so quick to
speak about overthrowing the government and sympathize with anti-government
nuts, they'd be all over us. Just ask the Panthers, the Move Organization, and
Mumia Abu Jamal...

(CNN) -- The remains of two people have been found in an Austin, Texas,
building where a man crashed a small plane, authorities said.
The identities of the two dead people have not been confirmed, the
Austin Fire Department said in a statement. Two other people who were injured
in the incident were taken to a hospital, and 11 others were treated for minor
injuries, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said.
Authorities said Andrew Joseph Stack III, 53, an Austin resident with
an apparent grudge against the Internal Revenue Service, set his house on fire
Thursday and then crashed a Piper Cherokee PA-28 into the building, which
houses an IRS office with nearly 200 employees, federal officials said.
"This appears to be an intentional act by a sole individual," Acevedo
said at a news conference.
A fire created by the crash had been put out, save for some small
areas, officials said. Fire crews were expected to continue to work through the
night.
