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.

that didn’t take long...
And so it goes, the New York Times has joined TIME MAGAZINE :

WaPo’s Capehart: Austin Suicide Pilot’s ‘Alienation Similar To Extreme Elements of Tea Party Movement’
Funny how the media refuses to bring up Amy Bishop, ya know, the LIBERAL whack job who shot and killed 3 teachers at the University of Alabama-Huntsville..yeah, she was a far left kook who was obsessed with Obama..haven’t heard the media bring that up
Is that considered Slander or Libel? I can never keep the definitions straight...
WHAT
The loon said he was against health insurance companies and wanted Govt to take it over, H e said he was against Bush and went on a tirade against the church.
He was just another loon who moved from CA because of taxes he voted for to TX and now the left tries to say he’s right wing
he was a left wing nut and I bet the huff post, move on, KOS, DU are scrubbing their sites as we speak of him
I guess then that he was a Time-Lies reader too because he slammed the Catholic Church in his manifesto.

MSNBC joins the “Link Tea Party to Terror” bandwagon :
Chris Matthews’ Southern Poverty Guest Ties Stack To ‘Radical Right’
Do you know where in California he came from? I looked at the Travis County voter rolls and couldn’t find him among the Stacks there.
I think I read something about LA. Would I just look for one county’s listing or are there some counties at the edge where he may have lived?
bump
They are desperate...the only thing that rings true for them is their lies.
Predicted by Rush before the press release.
Typical Libtard performance, accuse your “enemies” for exactly what you doing.
she was a left wing kook but so was this guy
he said before he killed himself that he hated health insurance companies, he hated Bush and he hated the church infact he despised the church.
not exactly right wing was he
he was also against the GM bailouts but so is the left wing as they hate the freemarket.
If any one is saying this guy is right wing then then they seriously need their head seeing too
Time Warner Inc's (TWX.N) magazine division Time Inc plans another round of job cuts as advertising declines erode revenue, a source familiar with the unit said on Thursday. The job cuts at Time Inc — which publishes Time magazine, People, Sports Illustrated and Fortune — would be at about the same level as the division cut last year, the source said. Time Inc. cut more than 600 positions, or more than 6 percent of its workforce, in that round.”

of course this nut was a left winger, but the media wont talk about all the communist crap he was talking about in his letter
I wonder if you could link a crazed liberal Alabama college professor who murdered 3 of her colleagues to MoveOn.org, PETA, Greenpeace, or any other leftest group?
