Anecdotally assess the state-run media coverage. The connection they’ve made with the bulk of the manifesto rhetoric reflecting tea party beliefs was too predictable. However, the document actually starts with an expose of why he thinks the American Conservative Values of our founding are a lie in practicality. There’s also the last line where he cites the popular Marx slogan about to each his ability, blah blah. His ultimate beefs are with democracy, religion and capitalism; nothing else.

Now follow the Conservative Media. Of those who aren’t trying to push it aside, you have the usual suspects like Beck out there that sometimes talk without thinking, saying (paraphrasing) “Hey yeah I kinda agree with his dislike for the IRS, but this obviously wasn’t right” to which the Left decries “Ooh ooh see Beck is a sympathizer with this right-wing radical.”

And the wheel of deception spins the web almost systematically.

I don’t trust this at all.

That letter wasn’t written by a dumb lunatic – it was written by a lunatic leftist intellectual trying to sound like a dumb lunatic; a leftist nevertheless who specifically knew how the media was going to distort his act and his letter.

Strong signals to me that the manifesto wasn’t written by Stack. If it was, then chances are Stack might’ve been working for the same company as John Wilkes Booth.

After all, I still haven’t found out how poor old Catholic-hating (ahem) Joe was able to afford his plane.

The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

Sure doesn’t sound like a Tea Party type nor a conservative at all. Sounds more like the Democratic Party’s current views and their actions.

The Democrats (far left “progressives” er…socialists) are in panic mode, as they can see the writing on the wall come November. Those aforementioned centrists and independents were hoodwinked by Obama and his accomplices in the media, and they’re speaking loudly at the ballot box with complete and utter disgust of what they’ve seen from Obama, Reid, & Pelosi for the last 13 months.

The Austin Plane Incident: An Attack on the IRS?

By Hilary Hylton

The long, rambling rant posted on a website eerily reflected the angry populist sentiments that have swept the country in the past year. In it, a Joe Stack inveighed against intrusive Big Brother government, corrupt corporate giants, irrational taxes, as well as the “puppet” George Bush. “I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue,” he wrote. “I have just had enough. I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt.” And then Stack apparently got in a Piper Cherokee PA-28 at about 9:40 a.m. at an airport in suburban Austin, Texas, and flew the plane into a commercial building housing an IRS office, killing himself, seriously injuring two people on the ground and starting a conflagration that lasted several hours.

As the plane hit — between the first and second stories of the Echelon building in northwest Austin, about 10 miles from downtown — one eyewitness on the ground told a local television station that there was “giant fireball about 50 feet wide.” The Echelon is part of a four-building complex of office buildings set in small office park near the intersection of two busy Austin highways. The exterior of the buildings are flat, black glass that just before the crash reflected clear, blue winter skies. “It sure was hauling. It was a really speedy dive,” Jerry Cullin, a pilot, told KXAN, the local NBC affiliate. “It shot across the road going really fast.” Cullin had stopped to get his midmorning coffee at the local Marie Callender’s when he saw the plane swoop down. It was so low, Cullin said, he could see the plane’s belly and thought he might get hit. The plane almost clipped one of the tall light poles lining the freeway before crashing into the building.

After the fireball, Cullin said, the black-glass windows blew out and the venetian blinds starting flapping in the wind. The building houses regional offices of the IRS and other federal agencies. As one unidentified office worker from the building said, “If you have problems with the IRS, this is where you come in person to work them out.” According to news reports, 199 IRS employees work in the building, and all are accounted for. Toward the end of what appears to be his final note, Stack wrote, “Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.”

The left must find Mr. Stack to be the answer to their, uh, prayers as now they can simply dismiss the entire movement with the image of the burning Austin office building.

Predicted Tea Party political clout as of today: 0.
