Some of today's populists are giving elitists a good name. That thought came to mind after Joseph Andrew Stack crashed his single-engine plane into a building that houses Internal Revenue Service offices in Austin, Texas.
Rep. Steve King of Iowa called [Joe Stack]'s issues with the IRS "legitimate" and claimed that they're "intrusive and we can do a better job without them entirely. Ken Hunter, [Vernon Hunter]'s son, told local media outlets in Austin that he's frustrated with the attention Stack's political beliefs have gotten over his father's life. "There was just too much going on about what the guy did and what he believed in, and enough's enough," Hunter said. "They don't need to talk about him. Talk about my dad. You know, some people are trying to make this guy out to be a hero, a patriot. My dad served two terms in Vietnam. This guy never served at all." Other people who were close to Hunter expressed grief for a fallen friend to any local media outlet willing to listen. I really can't describ...

AUSTIN, Texas - A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers fleeing for their lives. At least one person in the building was missing.
The recent deliberate crash of an airplane into the Internal Revenue Service building in Austin, Texas ("Suicide pilot hits Texas IRS office," Nation, Friday) once again raises the specter of IRS abuse. However, an even more sinister and pervasive abuse by the IRS is taking place: the intentional twisting or outright violation of existing law to achieve a result the agency desires. As a tax attorney and former IRS agent, I think the outstanding example of this is the IRS' refusal to accept joint tax returns from legally married same-sex couples. Those are couples who were married in states that recognize same-sex marriage and made it legal there.
The first question people asked after a single-engine plane struck a building that housed Internal Revenue Service employees in Austin, Texas, last week was whether the attacker was a terrorist. Within hours, officials assured the American people that Andrew Joseph Stack was not a terrorist.
The most recent violent manifestation of anti-government psychoses was a Texan flying his fuel-gorged light plane into the Austin, Texas, federal building, murdering an Internal Revenue Service worker and burning most of the building. Joe Stack's act and his daughter's explanation betray little understanding of government and the comity necessary for a civilized society.

If someone flew an airplane into a building full of people to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it would be called an act of terrorism. However, when Joe Stack flew his plane into an Internal Revenue Service building in Austin, Texas, and killed an IRS employee and wounded several other people, the news media called it an "incident." The local prosecutor declared that Mr. Stack was not a terrorist. But what should you call it when a man pens a manifesto proclaiming that "violence is the only answer," then tries to kill people because they work for the government? Mr. Stack's wife apologized on the news to "everyone affected by the incident" but was careful not to use the term "victim" when referring to the people her husband hurt and the man he murdered.
