Jon Stacks was a very angry, emotionally disturbed man. His problem with the IRS was just a personal as political. I’m not going to say that Joe Stack was a Tea Party member. Although his rant definitely included some rhetoric that could be right out of a Tea Party manual, he also had some crazy ideas that weren’t necessarily part of the Tea Party manifesto.
Even Glenn Beck, the court jester of the Tea Party was quick to point out that while Stacks left some rhetoric in his manifesto that could be considered “communist,”
When you read his anti-tax ravings and his anti-tax or IRS stuff it sounds like you could be reading bumper stickers off the cars or the signs of the Tea Party.
Tea Party leaders are quickly distancing themselves from Stack. They claim to have no record on their lists of Joe Stack as a Tea Party member. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t a member or wasn’t sympathetic to the movement. Although in his manifesto, he strays from the general Tea Party talking points, there are many ideologies in the Tea Party from pro-war to anti-war, to pro -drugs to anti-drugs, from anti-Republican to Neo-Con. There are also a lot of crazy people drawn to Tea Parties as way to vent their anger with no particular political ideology at all.
The problem with the Tea Party movement, is that it is less defined by a political ideology and more defined by hatred and disdain for our President and the government. The Fox News pundits and Tea Party speakers are excellent hatemongers. They have painted Obama as a communist, socialist, Muslim, tyrant, dictator, and said that he wants to take away people’s guns and freedom.
It’s not the Tea Party ideology that may drive people to violence, but the hatred and fear mongering it promotes do. The Neo-Cons who run the Tea Party, in particular, Dick Armey, have united with extremist elements who they can not control. I have previously written about two elements that have joined the Tea Party, the Neo-Nazis and The Neo-McVieghs. Both of these groups add fuel to the anger and fear already in place in the Tea Party and both groups have a long strong history of terrorism yet are welcomed, seemingly with open arms into the Tea Party movement.
The Neo-Nazis identify with the terrorists who killed maimed and put Black people in terror for years (KKK) as well as the government that is responsible for World War II and the holocaust, while the Neo-McVeighs hold the same “Patriot” beliefs of a “New World Order” conspiracy that led to McVeigh blowing up the Federal Building in Oklahoma.
The leaders of the Tea Party must acknowledge the “lunatic fringe” that participates in its protests and feel connected to the movement as well as the organized neo-Nazis and Patriot inspired militias. While certain Tea Party leaders may speak out against violence, others subtly promote it with talks of “revolution” and “revolt” and “shedding blood of tyrants” and by instilling conspiracy theories about the government trying to turn into an oppressive New World Order.
The Tea Party people should take Stack as a warning. Hate is a powerful tool. Fear is too. The anger over taxes is being manipulated by the Neo-Con richest one percent to avoid issues like the war and put heat on their political opponents, Barack Obama and the democratic party. The Tea Party has let the inmates run the asylum and no one is accountable for whatever hate mongering goes on in Tea Party events. This is dangerous.

Racist crap.
>The plaintiff being everyone who has an issue with the IRS.
That sounds like it could be a LOT of people.
Exactly what I was thinking!
That’s right libs: we’re coming for you! We’re under your beds and in your closet! We’re having secret meetings right under your noses! We are moving our invisible armies around you even as I write this!
There is no hiding from us! There is no reasoning with us! We’re gonna get you! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

What the dumb-ass Casey doesn’t realize is that democrats have turned the hose on him, just like the democrats did in Selma 50 years ago. In other words, he’s an idiot. Welcome to the democrat party, dope.
I need a teflon barf bag after reading that.
It sounds as if Stack was an anarchist.
Hate to point this out but tea partiers do not quote Marx and close with the Communists creed...!
He was of the left. That’s clear. How dare “Casey Gane-McCalla” try to link him to the right.
I don’t know if he was a “tea-bagger” or not (he had a wife, tried to burn his house down with her and the kids inside) but he sure wasn’t a tea partier.
Isn’t it fun to pretend?
However, when you read his Marxist quote, his hate-Bush ravings, or his vile comments about Catholics it sounds like you could be reading........
.......Casey Gane-McCalla.
Hey parsifal — what’s your take on this wacko?
His confession was clear-cut leftist. His tax revolt was to expose ‘evil churches’ and their ‘unholy tax loopholes’.
You better be talking about Stack and not me Art!!! ;) :)
LOL
Oh of course, FRiend. I was talking about Stack.

— Marxist [see last line].
— Complained about healthcare “Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.”
— Hated GW Bush “puppet” as well as IRS.
— Hated the “monsters of organized religion” and Catholic church.
“The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government.”
I know, I was just yanking your chain. ;D
Ummm, maybe. I think the guy was too much a loner to join in much, though. And, I don’t think he was crazy and I don’t think his letter was “rambling” and “laced with obscenities.” I just think he is somebody who had enough and did a bad thing. Happens about 20,000 times a year in this country and we call them “murderers’, and we don’t think all of them are “crazy.” If Stack had survived, he would have been tried, and given the death penalty.
parsy, who says these are my thoughts
Thank you for your input, Parsy. You hold back on a complete nut. [Shaking head.] It’s interesting trying to figure you out.
