Blame
A day after some guy who was a bit loopy flew a plane into a building, the pundits and internet are trying to guess whether this guy posted at Democratic Underground or Free Republic. Seems there’s a value in classifying a nut job as one of your enemies. One side says he’s a tea partier because of his anti-tax message. The other points out he whined about no free healthcare, embraced communism, and hated George Bush.
How about we all just settle on crazy?
A point:
Actually, if you read the manifesto, you see that he is not upset at big government itself but that big government never helps him.
Via Billy, who notes:
Everybody with a political axe to grind will be throwing this dead cat back & forth across opposing fences until even after the body is disintegrated, and it might be helpful if people knew what the game was really about.
At least Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a bit easier to classify.

Why yes, this is a clear case of SUDDEN PISSED OFF REDNECK SYNDROME. It happens when federal agencies try to take property and money that isnt thiers in clear violation of the United States Consitution. This was a terrible thing, but truth be known, I expect to see much more of this in hte news and I expect they are going to get way more sophisticated.

He was right about one thing in his suicide note…the government will enact some crazy laws in order to prevent this from happening which will end up affecting everyone.
What effect will that have? Who knows?

More like sudden pissed off ex-hippie syndrome.
He was involved in the tax protest movement because he didn’t want to support the war in Iraq, and was quoting the Communist Manifesto and the end of his screed.
Methinks the left might not want people to examine this loon’s politics too closely.
