Looks like the Fed’s once again rushed to say it wasn’t an act of terror when it was. Foreign? Not looking likely...but the pilot set his house on fire and then rams his plane into the IRS building.

Why are they always so quick to say it wasn’t an act of terrorism.

It’s the favorite FBI talking point.

Somebody flipping out, burning down his own house, and taking revenge on the IRS isn’t exactly what I’d call “terrorism” either.

Maybe it’s a distinction without a difference, but when most people think of terrorism I’d guess they’re thinking of actions done on behalf of some organization with political objectives, moreso than some “lone nutball” who goes postal because he thinks the IRS screwed him over.

If it's a white male, they'll call it terrorism. If it's a white Republican male they'll blame the tea parties.

If it's a muslim they'll call it an isolated incident with no connection to terrorism whatsoever.

You don’t think that it was more likely to be a man losing his home to IRS action?

I think we need to have a national registry of anyone who has ever uttered a word against the IRS because they are a latent terrorist.

It will keep us all safe and it’s for the children.
