SYRACUSE, N.Y. — 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, says he put the page up Thursday just hours after the attack.

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.
