Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsStacks Daughter Retracts Hero Statementclipped by: wiccantexanThe daughter of the man who carried out a suicide plane attack against the IRS in Texas said today she considered her father a hero for standing up to "the system," although she later back away from that statement. When "Good Morning America" asked if she considered her father a "hero," Bell, 38, said, "Yes, because now maybe people will listen." Bell later called "Good Morning America" to retract her statement and say unequivocally that her father was "not a hero." Ken Hunter, son of Vernon Hunter, who was killed in the attack, refuted Bells earlier statement, saying Stacks not the hero in this situation, but his father is. "How can you call someone a hero who after he burns down his house, gets into his plane ... and drives it into the building to kill people?" Hunter told "Good Morning America." "My dad Vernon did two tours of duty in Vietnam. My dads a hero."

This deliberate, cowardly act of domestic terrorism resulted in injuring thirteen IRS workers and left one man dead -- a veteran of the Vietnam War: When Ken Hunter first heard about a plane crashing into his fathers office building in Austin, he said he hoped his dad, Vernon Hunter, wasnt there. In the hours that followed, Ken said he heard lots of talk about the pilots motivations and felt compelled to speak out on his fathers behalf. "There was just too much going on about what the guy did and what he believed in, and enoughs enough," he said. "They dont 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. My dad wasnt responsible for his tax problems." Read on... Why so little attention to Vernon Hunter?clipped by: ratilfarclippers remarks: Human Events editor Jed Babbin should win the bottom-feeder award for joking about Hunters killing at that confab of crazy, CPAC. Talking about his friend Grover Norquist, Babbin quipped: "Im really happy to see Grover today. He was getting a little testy in the past couple of weeks. And I was just really, really glad that it was not him identified as flying that airplane into the IRS building." Im sure the Hunter family enjoyed the humor.  I traveled this weekend and missed the identification of the only person killed by Joe Stack in his unsettling attack on the Internal Revenue Service office in Austin last week (h/t Crooks and Liars, Will Bunch). He is Vietnam veteran and IRS worker Vernon Hunter. His son, Ken Hunter, told local reporters he was tired of the media paying too much attention to the fractured and incoherent political beliefs espoused by the demented Stack, and not enough attention to his fathers life: "There was just too much going on about what the guy did and what he believed in, and enoughs enough. They dont 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. My dad wasnt responsible for his tax problems." Living in the USA: The J. Stack Murder Files - Rep. Clyburn Denounces Rep. King for Condoning Murderclipped by: zizzyclippers remarks: "Its sad the incident in Texas happened, but by the same token, its an agency that is unnecessary and when the day comes when that is over and we abolish the IRS, its going to be a happy day for America," King said. James Clyburn took to the House floor on Tuesday to denounce a fellow member of Congress for making excuses for the terrorist attack on the IRS building in Texas. The South Carolina Democrat reacted furiously to comments made by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who declined to denounce last weeks attack and expressed empathy with pilot Joe Stack. It was too much for Clyburn, the House majority whip. "The fact of the matter is that the gentleman that lost his life in that building, Vernon Hunter, is from -- was from Orangeburg, South Carolina, that I proudly represent in this body," said Clyburn. "He spent two tours in Vietnam and was about the business of carrying out his duties and responsibilities to this great country of ours. If anybody is a hero, it is this victim. And I find it appalling that a member of this body would call his death a noble happening."
