The daughter of a man who crashed his small plane into a building housing offices of the Internal Revenue Service called her father a hero for his anti-government views but said his actions, which killed an IRS employee, were "inappropriate."Don't forget that the Austin Asswipe also burnt his own house down, instantly rendering his wife and young daughter homeless and without any prospect of getting a new one, since insurance companies don't pay off for arson.
If Asswipe wanted to make a public statement as he departed this world, self-immolation is a traditional way to do it. Killing people is very rarely an act of heroism, especially when the victims have no warning nor any way to fight back. As much as most people don't exactly love tax collectors, they are not on the same plane as SS/Gestapo men or concentration camp guards.
This kind of hero we don't need.
UPDATE: Rep. Steven King (Terrorist, Iowa) is advocating more terrorist attacks on IRS offices. Does anyone know why Mr. King is not wearing an orange jumptsuit and in chains aboard a C-130 headed to Gitmo?
His son actually said the correct thing in that those calling his father a hero were wrong. Good for him and too bad he couldn't talk some sense into his old man.
ReplyDeleteAlso wonder if two tours in Nam had much to do with this.
INACIYR (It's Not A Crime If You're Republican). That's why Rep. King (R-Asshole) isn't wearing orange.
