Russell Arrested at IRS office 7-27-06

[FTL_Ian]

No, but lots of LP people travel there.  Stephen Gordon, who runs the site, is an Anarchist.

Uh, I don't know if Stephen Gordon is an anarchist or not, but he's defnitely the national Communications Director of the LP.

SG has repeatedly pointed out that he is an anarcho-capitalist.  Though I prefer "Free Marketeer".

I was very pleased when the LP hired him.  It may just be the shot in the arm they need.

So are we not supposed to talk about non-political things on the hammer of truth?

So are we not supposed to talk about non-political things on the hammer of truth?

Who suggested that?

[aries]

Hammer of Truth has been posting more LP-related articles lately I noticed.

And I can always tell when Ian posts because of the patent introductory spiel he gives about whatever issue he is posting.

In an attempt to be a modern-day provocateur in the political realm, this blog exists in order to expose the lies and corruption of both major parties. And while we are admittedly libertarian-leaning and openly advocate Libertarian Party candidates and policies, we are also introspective and take our own party to task from time to time.

[Dave Ridley]

by negative reaction I meant 90% of the reaction on the 6 boards i've posted to is negative against russell.  so far.   these debates usually become more evenhanded in our favor after a few days however.  The Digg response is totally different, sounds like, they are 80% behind him over there it seems.

[Russell Kanning]

Maybe because digg is not political or libertarian .... I am not "ruining it" for normal people.

[Tom Sawyer]

Folks that happened to see the goings on as they walked out of the Post Office expressed sympathy and support.

[Kat Kanning]

One woman was worried about us before we went in.  She came out to tell us there were policemen all over in there and they were talking about us.  She wanted to tell us not to go in

Solutions to Tax Issues

Sounds like Russell had legitimate business there to me.  One of the services they offer is "solutions to tax issues".  Russell has a solution to the problem of taxation.

I would say Copies of Tax Returns & Transcripts (Verifiable extreme hardships only; such as victims of Hurricanes, medical emergencies, etc.) The extreme hardship is a oppressive government and police state

The ICE guys come from Manchester

I could have asked them if they could help me with a NH state tax return ...... what? they don't have one? .... ok ... then let's just get rid of you guys then and we will be pretty much set.

[Tom Sawyer]

I think that mailing an inquiry is the nice way to introduce oneself. Perhaps they would like to have a speaker come to a taxpayer meeting to explain the finer points.

[FTL_Ian]

Great idea... though they should just come and speak to a non-taxpayer meeting.  Like Tuesday night at Cheshire Pizza.
