He also railed against George W. Bush, his CPA and his wife.

I think "wacko" would be the most appropriate label.

So, do we call him a murderer or a patriot? Domestic terrorist?

I don't think he qualifies as a terrorist.

Since he burned his own house too (and the plane is gone as well), I'm gonna guess the IRS is pursuing collection of back taxes. Sounds more like despair and anger drove him to 'revenge'.

Add poor and jobless and you have 90% of the other "terrorists."

Sounds like he got caught up in Obama's "hope and change" and then had a melt down when it didn't happen.

Wacko or domestic terrorist both work for me.

If he's protesting the IRS to the point of killing himself to hurt them, I doubt it has anything to do with Obama unless he's a total loon. Surely that kind of rage and dedication has to grow over the years, after exhausting all other options.

Oddly enough I am listening to Rush. He just quoted someone who (I think, wasn't listening closely) blamed it on Bush and exclaimed that he (Rush) wouldn't have even thought to blame it on Obama.

I just finished reading his suicide note. He kind of sounds like a communist.

It will be a sad day when you can no longer bash the ONE in the white house. You might actually have to get a real job. Maybe handing out flyers for ACORN?

Somehow I think his Taxes Cost less than this.

Yeah, his taxes were only an arm and a leg.

I'm assuming he was facing prison and loss of everything. I've seen similar things here in Chattanooga - guy gets popped for tax evasion and loses his primary home, his home on the lake (what kind of idiot has a 6,000 s.f. home on the lake twelve miles from his 6,000 s.f. home in a subdivision anyway?), one guy had a huge mansion on twenty acres or so. One guy had a freakin' cigarette boat. (Anyone familiar with the Tennessee River and its impounded lakes near Chattanooga should find that hilarious and scary.) It's amazing that people who could have wonderful lives risk losing all to have extra-wonderful lives. Of course, I'm speculating, maybe he was being royally screwed over.

Hope the IRS people are all okay.

Oh, a GOVERNMENT job! LOL

What kind of communist gets in this kind of trouble with the IRS? I thought all communists loved the IRS.

Maybe he's just an anarchist. Sometimes they talk like communists.

This just in, Rush thinks he's a leftie too.

Terrorist implies that he's doing something to incite fear or terror among the population to support some cause. That doesn't appear to be the case, it sounds more like an angry guy who just wants to strike at the IRS. Nutjob.

Or you could read the suicide note instead of being content with perpetuating your role as a mindless troll.

Why would a Communist love an instrument of the state?

Anarchists talk like Communists because of the nature of anarchism. To remove hierarchies, you need to be a strong collectivist.

This post sure shows your lack of understanding of terrorists. That's what happened when you just demonize a word/group. SUddenly this terrorism isn't terrorism, because he was a white American.

Or, you could use another defiinition of terrorism limiting it to groups who are out to use force that can kill cilvilians to terrorize a public into doing what it wants, and suddenly you have included the US in many cases, and excluded many of the people who are fighting the US military presence in their homeland that are now called 'terrorists' because then you can easily say it's ok to kill them.

Still safe to say you're a douche though.
