The Southern Avenger: Was Joe Stack a Terrorist?

The Southern Avenger is controversial as always in this video, the full text of which may be found here.  To avoid potential angry comments, please keep in mind as you listen that Hunter is not saying that terrorism is justified or equating the tea parties with terrorism. 

Far from it. 

He's simply arguing -- as Ron Paul (and indeed the CIA and the 9/11 Commission) have -- that we should look at the motives of those we deem "terrorists" so we can respond to their crimes rationally...and that both the left and right have serious blind spots where this is concerned.

This is interesting. You know, there have been some people who actually condoned what Stack did? I find that absolutely appalling.

Well said.  Joe Stack's actions should be condemned, but his motives discussed rationally and openly.  Hats off to King and Brown for their insights.  Problem is, the government wants more incidents like this as an excuse to pull out all the stops against political opposition to their agenda.  Frightening times indeed, but they require that we capture the spirit of 1776 and never cede our principles.
