That's not how it works, Dunedan. The Minutemen are organizationally like the Tea Party. There's no true organization with one leadership and definite single membership. If you went out with a lawn chair and binoculars, you were a Minuteman. MAD was one Minuteman organization in the same way (organizationally speaking) that the Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Express, the 9/12 Project, and the Tea Party Coalition are all the Tea Party. Don't try to rewrite history.

Andrew Joseph Stack III was a small government anti-tax libertarian. What liberal by any reasonable definition would be against any taxation? Anyway, he was clearly a ticked-off populist, which puts him well inside the category I was describing.

I notice you didn't try to explain away Scott Roederm, Richard Poplawski, or Jim D. Adkisson.
