In an article about Thursday's apparent suicide by a pilot in Austin, Texas, the folks at Time.com made two seemingly intentional links to the Tea Party movement.
First, the piece began:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
(See the making of the Tea Party movement.)
Then, after the third paragraph which concluded, "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 folks at time advertised the following article by the magazine with a hyperlink highlighted in yellow:
(See the making of the Tea Party movement.)

Not very subtle, is it?
Let's be clear that tying this person to Tea Parties or conservatives is preposterous. After all, his suicide note ended:
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.

You know a lot of conservatives and/or Tea Party members extolling the virtues of communism while bashing capitalism?
No...I don't either.
Shame on Time for doing this.

They are really, really stupid.
How long until they blame part of it on Rush?
All of the above are quotes from Stack's manifesto.
he was a left wing loon though as he left a manifest of which he hates and that included Bush, church and health insurance companies
I don't watch MSNBC or even NBC, CBS, ABC but are they seriously trying to say he was right wing after the crap he left
We have maybe muslims poisoning the food in the army, a left wing kook from MA shooting folks and a left wing kook who slams his plane into a building
What do you expect from left-wing provocateurs who see their once powerful influence dwindling to the bottom of bird cages and septic tanks? Stick a fork in’em ... they’re done.
The public accepts this conclusion. Time-Life-CNN-Turner-Warner wouldn’t lie, would they?!!!
it’s not like they are Dan Ratherbiased or Uncle Walter...
I bet as we speak they are at KOS, MOVE ON, DU deleting the names of this whack left wing job
Seems fair, here at FR, he’s been linked to the liberal party, the communist party, and the socialist party.
Looks like Obama sent his marching orders to the press around 3pm today.
But it isn’t going to stick. The guy was nut who fled California but found Austin too conservative, which just proves how nutty he was. He was a liberal who was ready to kill his own family, who hated George Bush, and who hated the Catholic Church. In fact he was a typical liberal in that he hated almost everything, and in the end I guess he even hated himself.
It appears as though the commie piggies in the MSM are going to use this as an excuse to NOT cover the antics of their pals, The Ft. Jackson Five.
The Tea Partiers are really anti-religious too.
LOL
The Holocaust Museum shooter was also a leftist and they said he was a righty
Liberals are full of FAIL.
He left his wife and daughter homeless.
Huh? This thing gets more “Alice in Wonderland” by the moment.
Los Angeles County (he did live in LA awhile) requires birthdate (which will come out sooner than later) and street address and zipcode.

But he may get purged in light of this high profile news story.
Since he did not like 8 years of Bush, I doubt he was a McCainiac or a Sarah Palin fan.
This isn’t always a bad thing. Too bad right now they seem to have superior numbers...
