The evidence so far doesn't support that. Here's what ABC and the Southern Poverty Law Center (a group that tracks right wing militia and hate groups) is saying:
Patriot Movement Calling Joe Stack a Hero - ABC News
- "Gestapo-like tactics."
- "The IRS is out of control!"
- "Which would you prefer: having your wallet or purse stolen or being audited by the IRS?"
- "Well Mr. Big Brother IRS Man, let's try something different, take my pound of flesh and sleep well."
As it turns out, only the last statement came from Joe Stack. The rest came from some of the leading voices of the Republican Party during its late 1990's crusade against the IRS.

Gentlemen, kindly refrain from direct political references here. It is kind of pointless when both sides would love to distract us with any available sideshow while gutting us and chewing contentedly on our liver.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And frankly the olbermannesque perjorative he used should count as a violation of the TOS.

Frankly I find it amazing that the spinmeisters on either side seek to capitalize on the desperate suicidal act of an insane man, but there seems to be no shortage of the gullable.

I like Al Gore's idea of doing away with the income tax completely and replacing it with a carbon tax.
A radical notion but within a decade or two, we could stop dumping trillions of military dollars down some desert rat hole in the middle east to secure the energy we're stealing.
There's a huge hidden cost for energy that big oil would prefer you not think about. The $3 a gallon at the pump is only a fraction the cost we're subsidizing with our tax dollars.
