Beside the obvious similarities that they are both white males in their fifties who relish in anti-government sentiments, the American suicide bomber, Joseph Andrew Stack and Minnesota Governor Timothy (Tim) Pawlenty both publicly champion open violence against U.S. Government buildings and windows.
Yes, the graphic photographs and video of the horrific, violent attack that killed innocent Americans in Austin, Texas this week at a federal government center now has its proper narrative audio to go along with it provided by none other than the Republican Governor Timothy James Pawlenty.
"I think we should take a 9-iron and smash the window out of big government in this country," Pawlenty bellowed to a hyped-up, right-wing audience at a convention that was founded by the John Birch Society only hours into the aftermath of the terror in Austin.
Apparently the terroristic desire to "smash out the window of big government in this country" is a deeply held position that both Joseph Andrew Stack and Timothy (McVeigh) Pawlenty share.
