To MSNBC and other so-called news outlets insistent on linking Joe Stack to the Tea Party movement: obviously MSNBC supports child rape and incest. There must be a connection because I know that several MSNBC hosts oppose parental notification laws for pregnant teenagers and espouse the same views as the adults who impregnate them.
Sounds as ridiculous as their approach to Stack and the Tea Parties.
First off, let’s make this clear – Stack, in his eyes, was a victim. Victims of the economy and the tax system represent all walks of life and those loners who would become suicide bombers over it do not have any kind of mainstream support.
Secondly, in his letter, Stack railed against organized religion, Catholicism and big business – these are not views shared by most Tea Party members. He was also motivated by class warfare and railed against the rich as well as the notion of an American dream. None of this is reflected in the Tea Party movement. We might as well link him to the leftist radicals empathized by moveon.org or the Huffington Post.
This is the same game the MSM played by trying to tie a [Continue...]

Stack has not been linked to any specific political philosophy or party, though his anti-government views are sometimes espoused by Tea Party members in Texas who have supported Medina’s surprising run against Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Phillip Dennis, a leader of the 15,000-member Dallas Tea Party, disavowed any connection to Stack.
“We never advocate violence and overthrow of the government,” Dennis said. “We have a framework to solve problems, and that framework does not include flying airplanes into buildings.”

Joseph Andrew Stack flew a small plane today into an office building in Austin, Texas that housed an IRS office in it. I, as I am sure many Americans watched the events unfold on the news with hope that no one was killed or seriously injured. Initially the reports where 2 hospitalized one missing. Now it appears they have found 2 bodies in the wreckage.
As the investigators unraveled the puzzle certain things came to be seen. The alleged pilot set his house on fire and before he undertaking this act he left behind a six page diatribe on the internet attacking everything from organized religion to the IRS. From President Bush to President Obama. Complaining of the GM Bailout, politicians, and “the joke we call the American medical system”.
As I read his “manifesto” it dawned on me that this dude had some serious issues. Not just that but reading his rant in its entirety I could not place where he stood politically. Some of the rant sounded like a Conservative while others hit me as being quite Liberal. So as any reasonable person would have done I decided to let the investigators do there jobs and not try point the partisan [Continue...]

Joseph Andrew Stack was named as the pilot who crashed into the Echelon Building in Austin, Texas on February 18, 2010. According to the Austin Statesman, Stack left behind a suicide note/manifesto titled “Well Mr. Big Brother IRS man… take my pound of flesh and sleep well” on his website EmbeddedArt.com which is signed “Joe Stack (1956-2010) 02/18/2010.” Stack’s manifesto ended with, “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” at the end of the long document.
