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.

    Casey, this one paragraph illustrates how embarrassingly uninformed you truly are. The TEA party was founded on the most sound of political ideology, but for some reason, you tend to focus on those who have hijacked it for personal gain. Talk to true Libertarians and none of them will claim Glenn Beck is a Lib, yet you are trying to give him that title. Totally dishonest of you. The hatred and disdain you’re seeing is not for the President himself, but rather his policies. I have asked this question of you many times, and have yet to get any answer from you, much less a poor one. I will try once again. Please show or explain to me, what policies has BHO enacted or attempted to propose that actually differ from the Bush Doctrine? Your inability or unwillingness to answer this question, speaks volumes, and shows, that you are more about talking points and hyperbole, and less about making a substantive point. This neoNazi nonsense you spew ad nauseam, is even bringing new jacks out of the woodwork to inform you, that no one cares about that. Most logical thinking people realize that those banksters, financial terrorists, that are blowing up the global economy, pose a bigger threat to our daily lives, then a bunch of uneducated, powerless, neoNazi’s!!

    Actually this guy Stack was a socialist… he spouted Marxist ideology in his screed which is diametrically opposed to what the tea party believes. And so was that nutjob who shot her colleagues. She was obsessed with Obama, and a died in the wool leftist.

    Stack was a liberal who got mugged. The IRS doesn’t discriminate.

    The tea party has never been infiltrated by Neo-Cons, Neo-Nazis And Neo-McVeighs … but if you’ve been listening to other fringer nuts who write this crap you might think so. Fact is, the leftists have about 14 violent acts under their belts while the tea partiers haven’t gotten so much as a parking ticket.

    First we were astroturfed rich people, then when that didn’t fly and there was no proof, we were old people, then when that didn’t fly because photos show otherwise, we were white trash….and now that we have many many nationalities in our movement what is the next accusation?

    We have no leader, no organization but we are the people… and we shall prevail.

    _A_ and Justin_999 : I agree with you both — isn’t it funny that this grossly uninformed guy rants about some little groups that are no more than street gangs when the banksters and FOO are the real enemies.

    It’s pathetic. It’s like there some of these under every bed… when most people have never met one.

    This Casey person isn’t even rational. Wow, when did the communist motto become apart of the tea party platform? It’s not. lol.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    I ain’t even mad at Casey anymore. I now realize he is just as much a victim than anything else. Just like that gangbanger in the street, Casey is acting in accord with his programming. He has been conditioned to manifest talking points, liberal idealology, while simultaneously believing he is a free thinker. Earth to Casey. You’re not a free thinker if “your ideas” is in lockstep with the overwhelming and prevailing thought of the land. The fact that you even consider them “your ideas” is troubling but understandable. Free thinkers are the rebels. Those that question the mainstream views and simply asks, show me the logic. Casey, at every turn, when asked to support your ridiculous claims, you respond with more ridiculous claims without having answered the initial questions. I will say again, and keep saying it, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankein, Robert Benmosche, Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, Ben Bernanke etc. are bigger enemies and have done more harm to YOU and I personally, than the Stormfront and NeoNazi’s could ever do. Those groups only dream about having that type of power!

    Did it ever occur to anyone that Casey G McCalla is JUST doing his ‘job’? Job as in…post the damn story and go on bout his bidness? Give HIS own FREE opinion on whatever story it happens to be? I guess some of you cant fathom the thought of if it were YOU personally posting a story along with your own ideals on the subject that there would be a hundred Big mouth, outspoken, accusatory and condescending folks saying the SAME things about you as well that you all say about Casey? Not once in my reading of an article done by Casey have I seen some universal stamp of approval from some ‘higher power’ that his, Casey’s, word is BOND…Nah, its just the guy’s opinion, just like its ours as well. No need to beat the guy down everytime he posts something you dont agree with or the facts dont suit what you have learned. In all honesty when it comes to politics and these liberal/conservative parties etc….WE the general public will NEVER know the truth or facts….Get over it…

    Cali wow a regular BP person defending me. Thanks. But these guys don’t bother me and only only encourage me to develop and keep up with my opinions..if i have time i’ll even argue with them..its good to argue it helps you develop your points..

    maybe the nutjobs are right and Obama is part of an illuminati new world order muslim indonesian communist nazi conspiracy to take away their guns and nascar i’m not sure..but it pretty obvious to me that the Tea Party is funded be right wing neo cons hell ben on their own capitalist war old world order of making the rich richer and killing minorities in other countries and they are using working class white racism (like they always do) to create anger at their opponents..so i’ll continue to talk about what i know until i find concrete evidence about Obama putting microchips in our brains, starting death panels and putting us into concentraion camps..i’ll keep on writing about what i know and what i believe..the hate only makes me stronger

    Do ya thang Casey. Good healthy challening debate is ofcourse always welcome, and youre right, it only aids in making one sharper then they were before…Trust me, I catch ‘HELL’ in forums and my ‘inbox’ at times explodes with bombs when I log on…but I digress, it only serves to pin-point the mind..

    I think Casey should asnwer what _A_ asked him about how Obama’s policies differ from Bush’s. The only thing Obama has done that Bush didn’t do was touch up on healthcare. Otherwise we are still fighting these wars, he still bailed out the banks, and black people aren’t doing any better than we was under Bush.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Sub-Negro, I agree…But I dont think any lover of Obama can nor are they willing to answer that one…It would mean that the savior Barack really cant walk on NOR turn H20 into wine….

    Well Casey, I will continue to challenge you. Far too many people will read your blog and take everything you write as gospel without researching it further. You know it and I know it (look how many people jumped on your Jay Z/illumanati story, accepting it as pure truth). It’s nothing personal, and you have stated that you’re not taking it that way, therefore, I will keep on challenging you where I think you are in error. Keep in mind, I make a definite distinction between your opinion, and incorrect information. But the fact is, if an opinion is based on skewed information, I’m sure that you would agree, that opinion isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

    @Sub-Negro, Casey really can’t answer the questions, that’s why a divergent response is always posted. The thing is, both Dems and Reps share the same goal of maintaining status quo. Blacks have been hoodwinked into thinking that social programs that the Dems enact are for our benefit, when nothing could be further from the truth. They don’t realize it’s meant to keep a disenfranchised, locked out of the system people, from rising up and going for themselves. We now collectively suffer from Stockholm’s Syndrome and it doesn’t seem like we will be getting cured any time soon!

    The funny thing I have learned is that the democrats and republicans use to be a sinlge pary back in 1800′s. Thing is both of these parties need each other to function. They split the general masses up and we fight amongst each other. If you go through history repubs have done way more for black people than the demos. (freed the slaves and civil rights bills.) But neither have a done a damn thing for us lately or this country for this matter. They both cater to rich corporations or rich SIG. WE need a 3rd party to shake things up but you have to have money and power to knock these guys off and the only 3rd party that anybody still remembers is Ross Perrot and he didn’t have the power to do much.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Sub_Negro, its crazy how much in the minority you and I are here. It’s really inexcusable, because if people can come on BP, then that says they have the means to research this thing for themselves. Third parties have always been a real threat to status quo, while the other two parties only maintain it. We have to be smart enough to realize, that if Obama was really anti big business, and truly “free market” like he professed two weeks ago, he would never be trying to bail out car companies, and artificially prop up the housing market. Ross Perot had billions of dollars, but if you don’t have the backing of the media, you can forget a serious run at politics. People probably don’t even know that Lyndon LaRouche was calling for a cataclysmic collapse of the economy back in the 80′s. It’s a simple theory really. You can’t expect an economic system to sustain itself, while running deficits year in and year out. Just imagine what would happen if you did that with your household budget, you would be insolvent before too long, unless you kept borrowing money, but there is going to come a time when that person lending you the money is gonna say no. What then? Well we are very close to that time in America. China is just about done making loans…

    Thing is, I’m not even a Ron Paul supporter, mainly because I believe this entire political system is damaged beyond the point of repair, but I also disagree with a few of his stances, but when it comes to sound economics, he is the only dude making sense. BHO is writing blank checks and what people need to seriously realize is, deficit spending is essentially raising taxes. Maybe not right now, but HOW ELSE do you close the gap? in the future? You need to get extra money from somewhere, and the Govt doesn’t produce goods or services, their only source of income is taxes. Think over that one!

    @ Sub_Negro, CaliFemme23 and _A_

    Not only do you three present compelling arguements on here. Many times your evidence (facts) are correct.

    I don’t always agree with the three of you,many times I do.

    I enjoy reading the three of you..

    I also have to say that I voted for Obama… And will say that I did only because he was black.

    I knew and understand his policies. I also believe that no president has control of anything. It is congress and coperate america that does.

    So I figured what the hell, he is as good as anyone else and he is black.

    But I don’t kid myself for a minute that he is our or anyone’s saviour.

    Thank God I’m not the only one who believes that this two party system is the biggest economic mess we have today. Thank you CaliFemme23,_A_, and Sub Negro. All of you have said it best. I guess I’m the only one in my family who believes that there should be a party for what I believe in instead of just falsely believing in a supposed party for the Negro. It’s so funny how people who, by far, are better educated than I, looked at me slack-faced when I said, “No I did not vote for Obama”. So obviously I’m stupid because I don’t have a master’s degree right? NOOOO. I have the right to respectfully disagree with the status quo and that’s what I did.
