Facebook Pulls Radio Host's Tribute To Pilot

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (CBS) ― Facebook has banned a New York radio host's tribute page for Joe Stack, the pilot who rammed his small plane into a federal building in Austin, Texas because he was angry at the Internal Revenue Service.

Jon Alvarez, host of a conservative talk program on WFBL AM 1390 in Syracuse, said he put the page up Thursday just hours after the attack, CBS station WCBS-TV reports.

The crash killed Stack and a worker in the building.

Alvarez tells The Post-Standard newspaper in Syracuse that he felt Stack had made "a sacrifice to others who were having problems with the IRS."

Facebook had yanked the site by Friday.

It sent Alvarez a note saying it didn't allow pages that are hateful or threatening.

1. "a sacrifice to others who were having problems with the IRS"

Alvarez tells The Post-Standard newspaper in Syracuse that he felt Stack had made "a sacrifice to others who were having problems with the IRS."

I guess he means "trouble" in the "I make lots of money, can even afford my own private plane, but I don't want to pay my taxes because I'm a selfish self-absorbed guy" way.

2. Alvarez should be fired

And sponsors of WFBL AM 1390 need to be boycotted until the station removes him.
