It's All the Tea Party's Fault

Remember "Not Me"? He was the famous invisible cartoon gremlin in the newspaper comic strip "The Family Circus." Whenever toys were left on the floor or other school-age disasters struck, the kids in the comic pointed their fingers at "Not Me." Today, "Tea Party" is the juvenile left's new "Not Me" -- an all-purpose scapegoat for every crime and disaster.

On Thursday morning, a disturbed pilot flew a small plane into an Austin, Texas, office complex that contained an Internal Revenue Service office. Several workers in the building were injured, and Joseph Andrew Stack, the pilot, was killed in the crash. Local authorities suspect he set his house on fire -- from which his wife and daughter escaped -- before taking off on his deadly journey. Investigators found a Web posting, identified as Stack's "suicide manifesto," in which he railed against tax laws, inequity, government and crony capitalism. He also targeted "puppet" George W. Bush, murderous health care insurers and the pharmaceutical industry.

The "manifesto" 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.

This nutball had deadly grudges that transcended partisan lines. But within minutes of the story breaking, a furious left-wing blogger at the popular Daily Kos website -- where countless Democratic leaders have guest-posted -- fumed: "Teabagger terrorist attack on IRS building." The article immediately cast blame on the anti-tax Tea Party movement: "After months of threats on the United States government, and government institutions, the Anti-Government forces known as the teabaggers have struck with their first 911 (sic) inspired terrorist attack."

At the eponymous mega-website of Arianna Huffington, a 2,000-plus comment thread was filled with allusions to "teabaggers":

Democrats, of course, still use their standard for themselves: “The Devil made me do it!” >Bo)

Hey Michelle, if you read this, look up the guy’s voter registration. I predict he’s a disenfrachised lifelong Democrat. Confirm that fact, and have a field day.

Pointing fingers at the Tea Party gremlin demonizes the left's most potent political opponents. This is the blame-gamers' ultimate agenda: criminalizing dissent...

This is their goal. When Karl Marx was asked about those citizens of a country that didn't support the revolution, he responded with, "Disenfranchise them, seize their property, and deny them the right to buy and sell." In other words, starve them to death.

There seems to be a growing amount of evidence that Obama believed as a young man attending Harvard, that a revolution would be required to change America into the socialist paradise he envisioned. His mentor Bill Ayers has stated that the revolution will cause 125,000,000 deaths in the United States.

We are living in perilous times. Keep your powder dry.

These people are dangerous (as documented in MM's article) and they will kill you.

yes = all communists are killers. ergo - what you said.

Yesterday when this story broke, happened to be checking FR for news and had come across the thread about the plane nutjob’s online suicide note (which was later taken down off the internet - but before FR found it and it went viral).

Managed to spread that internet posting to several others and then told the others to watch the MSM and Huff Post and this nutjob will be called a Tea partier (tea bagger) and the attack will be blamed oh Sarah Palin and / or George W BUsh!! alohg with on Rush, Hannity, Levin, yada yada yada

I said to them - but YOU know the truth - this guy was a socialist/libertarian type - who wanted Healthcare legislation and was upset it had not been passed!!! (Which could never be said about anybody in the TP movenent or about Sarah, W, Rush, etc.

I said watch the news - cnn msnbc. Go to HP. I said you will see WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT THE MEDIA ARE LIARS AND HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING!

So I thank GOD that either 1 or 0 other people were killed by this hutjob despite the guy apparently havihg excellerants in his plane and the building basically being destroyed!

That was God’s intervention in answer to all those praying for His protection of this nation at this very time!!

I also thank God for FR, who broke the suicide note’s contents and that WE CAN NOW USE THIS INCIDENT AND ITS COVERAGE BY THE LSM AND THE LIKES OF HP, TO EXPOSE THIER LIES, THEIR HATRED, AND THEIR MEDIA MANIPULATION OF THE NEWS TO FIT THEIR ANTI AMERICAN DESTROYING AGENDA!
