Joseph Stack, the anti-capitalist who killed two yesterday in a 9/11-style attack in Austin, published a "manifesto" online, which ends with the communist creed.
What is most striking about this man's ramblings is that they read, at times, very similarly to a Keith Olbermann (MSNBC host) monologue.
We find many of the contradictory ideas to which today's Left holds. To Mr. Stack, George Bush was a "puppet", but yet he had "cronies". To Mr. Stack, General Motors executives were reliant on their "overwhelming stupidity" for being "thugs" and "plunderers". Mr Stack had also been convinced of the idea that "insurance companies are murdering tens of thousands of people a year" (Where did he get that idea? Olbermann: ObamaCare Opponents 'Killing 45000 People/Year,').
It is clear this man derived much of his manifesto from leftist big media, which has become much more extreme in recent years.
But how many times have we seen this?
How about John Hinckley? The man who tried to kill President Reagan was brimming with media inspiration.
Thankfully none of the many leftists who expressed a desire to kill President Bush ever had an opportunity to live out their media-inspired ideas. But there are many pictures available of them acting those ideas out, with fire and violence.
And most recently one Mr. Jeremy Olson was arrested for throwing objects at Sarah Palin while she was holding her baby son. And what was the media response to this media-inspired event? They lamented the fact that the man missed his target.
Big media has gone too far in their constant attacks of republicans and conservatives.
Big media are creating people like Mr. Stack every day,

Well isn’t that interesting. I have never heard a word about this guy Olson, throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin, from the media...
Too bad they didn’t ask him what name he used on DU and KOS. Looks just like one of those kooks.

Commander Stehlik also told CBS News’ Crimesider that Olson had “a bigger tomato arsenal in his pocket that had yet to be deployed” as well as a journal with one entry that read: ‘Today i will attempt to pelt Sarah Palin with juicy red tomatoes for her fantastic collection of stamps on the American political piggy sceen(sic)’, it is not known what he meant by ‘stamps’.
An alternate ID was also found, when he was arrested, with a different name than the one he gave police. “But we are fairly certain that the name we released is the correct one,” Commander Stehlik said.

I don’t watch Fox news anymore, and I never watch Hannity. I listen to him about 2-5 minutes a day, but that’s about all I can take. It’s the same thing over and over, like Rush. I used to listen to him also until the Elian Gonzales thing, then I stopped. Too much spittle and nastiness flying out of my radio speaker, and it’s always the same thing.
“it is not known what he meant by stamps”
I think it’s leftard for “I’m an incoherent olbermann-inspired lunatic”
“Everything happens as God wants it to...otherwise, things would be different”
Do you know, that’s really not the way the bible tells it? It’s an extremely complicated issue, but for example 1Tim 2:4 “God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” - but all men do not come to the knowledge of the truth.
God does not micromanage this world. He gave that power to Adam in Genesis 1. He does respond to prayer, but as Christians, we don’t believe everything is the will of God. We believe he does intervene in response to seeking him.
Muslims believe everything is “inshallah” (the will of allah) and as a result they give almost nothing to charity and it leads to other negative aspects of their world.
I never said it was the way the Bible tells it.
OK, I realized that, but hoped it was an oversight or misinterpretation on your part.
Can I ask why you think the Bible is wrong?
I didn’t say that, did I?
OK sorry, I applied process of elimination. Did I apply it wrong?
Obviously. Why did you apply a process of elimination?
Stuart - because you make a statement, then say you know it’s not biblical, but then say you don’t disbelieve the Bible. These things don’t seem to add up!
You were commenting on my tagline, not the thread subject. Why did you even introduce the bible into the conversation?
Taglines are part of the post. People often talk about taglines in the thread itself.
OK, what doesn’t add up for you?
I already said in post #30
Then what would you like to know?
