— Ace Minute by minute, they claim a guy engaging in anti-Bush rhetoric and Communist sloganeering is a "Tea Party" sort.
At the Washington Post, a writer actually edited out the Communism endorsement -- without even an ellipsis to indicate his omission -- in order to blame the Tea Partiers.
Follow the link and note the parts of the manifesto quoted by Capehart. Yes, of course the anti-Bush rhetoric and screeching about health care is omitted, but something even more revealing is omitted too. HereÂ’s how StackÂ’s manifesto actually ended:
Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, letÂ’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.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.
Joe Stack (1956-2010)

And hereÂ’s how Capehart quotes the ending:
Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, letÂ’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.Joe Stack (1956-2010)
02/18/2010
WhatÂ’s missing?
This should be a firable offense. This was no mistake. This was a deliberate alteration of a document in order to lie to the audience.
There is "being sloppy" and then there is deliberate lying. Does the Washington Post now endorse deliberate lying?
I knew they'd do this. Even when I saw that endorsement of Communism, I knew they were going to do this anyway.

— Ace Well, we all knew it was horseshit at the time. They deliberately wrote a false report because they wanted to ensure Bush had no justification to take any action whatsoever at the time.
And now... Iran's going to get the bomb.
An International Atomic Energy Agency report expresses worry that Iran may be working on a nuclear warhead, despite a 2007 U.S. intelligence assessment that found the Islamic Republic stopped such work in 2003....
The report by the new head of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano, appears to raise greater concerns about Iran's capabilities than the assessments of his predecessor, Mohamed ElBaradei.
"Altogether, this raises concerns about the possible existence in Iran of past or current undisclosed activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile," said the report.
"These alleged activities consist of a number of projects and sub-projects, covering nuclear and missile related aspects, run by military related organizations."
The Associated Press indicated that the U.S. may go back and revise the intelligence assessment to determine if Iran resumed weapons work after the 2007 report.
I never usually post about this because none of this seems news to me. The Iranians are building a nuke, and that never changes, and Barack Obama's policy is "let's let them have the nuke and just hope for the best."
That's his policy.
And we're the "faith-based" ones, eh?
Thanks to ChrisH.

— Ace Well, he meant to say that. He toned it down for the "establishment media" types in the room who'd be scared by that kind of frankness.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney made a surprise appearance Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference to pay homage to the movement and declare that Barack Obama will be a “one-term president.”Cheney came up on stage after a speech by his daughter Liz, who hammered Obama’s policies on terrorism and laid blame on administration officials for the attempted Christmas Day bombing.
The room exploded with excitement for the former vice president, who was greeted with cheers of “run, Dick, run!”
“A welcome like that is almost enough to make me want to run for office again — but I’m not gonna do it,” he said.
Cheney made clear that he has passed the torch to his daughter, of whom he said he is “enormously proud.”
Vid at Hot Air's link.
By the way: That quote -- "I will bathe in your blood before the Children of Babylon" -- is a real quote.
This is literally telling tales out of school, but I hope he'll forgive me. It was awesome.
My friend not_steve_in_hb actually said that one time -- roared, screamed it -- and he wasn't kidding or being ironic.
Our dickhead dorm preceptor (RA) wrote him up for drinking on campus (and he was guilty, of course; we all were) and, as we were restraining him, he shouted "I will bathe in your blood before the Children of Babyon!"
And he meant every word of it.
My reply was, "You'll what?" As anyone's would have been.
I have asked and asked him where this came from, why the hell this even occurred to him to say.
He has never even remembered having said it.
And he was drunk, and angry, so I don't even know how he managed to be so lucid as to say this, as opposed to the standard things people say when angry.
He has never been able to provide an adequate explanation for this strangely baroque, and oddly necromantic, threat. I mean, it sounds like William Blake in an absinthe hallucination arguing with Microsoft technical assistance.
I believe, then, he was momentarily possessed by a demon. That is the only logical explanation I can think of.

— Ace Okay, I sent off six IPs to be unbanned yesterday, and just sent off another seven.
Two of the IPs people thought were banned were not, in fact, banned.
If you are banned, you will specifically get this message:
Your IP address (xxx.xx.xxx.xxx) has been banned. If you feel this is in error, please contact the blog owner by email
If you're not getting that message, you're not banned.
There is some other problem, which we can figure out (I hope), but it's not a banning, so don't say it is-- I mean, just because we wind up basically addressing the wrong problem at first.
One problem that people trip up on is simple: You need to enter an email address in order to post at all. Doesn't have to be a real email. I use "ace@fakeemail.com" myself. But it has to look like an email address. Without that you will never, ever be able to post, ever.
Other problems... I don't know. If you contact me and say "I can't post, but don't appear banned," I can try to figure out what's going wrong.
If you do think you're banned, please send me the full banned message, which includes your IP address, and we'll get that worked out.
Oh: Please follow-up with me after 24 hours if you're still banned or unable to post for other reasons.
If you sent emails yesterday, you should be fixed now, and if you're not, there's a problem.
If you sent emails last night or this morning, the emails just went out, so it will take a few hours at least.
Update: All Fixed Now. Hail Pixy!
Everyone who has written (whose email I have seen) has been unbanned if they were banned, or could be unbanned. One poor guy seems to share his IP with a bona fide spammer, so we can't unban that.
So, if you were banned, try posting again and see if things work now.
If not, write me back.

— Ace She didn't use that quote, but I dig that line.
Karin Hoffman, the founder of a Florida Tea Party chapter called DC Works for Us, is echoing Sarah Palin's recent comments that the organization should not field third-party candidates."Until a third party would actually pull away from both sides of the equation, it really would be disruptive and kind of diminish what we're trying to do," Hoffman said on CNN's American Morning Thursday. "Our goal is in this election cycleÂ… is on a local level we will identify the candidates that best represent us."
Sorry to be on this horse so often. I happen to think it's critical.

— Ace This is a common practice of the left. Take the right's complaints about you and argue, ludicrously, that they actually apply more to the right itself.
The left, for example, decided that the right's complaints that they were weak-kneed and a bit squeamish about purposeful, effective violence actually demonstrated that the right was a bunch of panty-twisted pee-stained pussyboys. It became a treasured trope on the left that they, the left, constituted "the brave" because they were courageous enough to not be troubled at all by terrorism. While those on the right called out for their mommies (their mommies being the fighting men and women of the US armed forces).
And now, as Sarah Palin as been riding the anti-elitist horse for a while, it becomes the new stupid meme that it's really Sarah Palin who's the elitist. Google it! Notice they have no problem at all abandoning their previous trope (elitism is good and only an imbecile would argue differently) and sliding into the complete opposite notion (Sarah Palin is the real elistist; the lefties are in fact... I don't know, the Common Man being grinded down under her chic heel).
“I’m never going to pretend like I know more than the next person,” [Sarah Palin] recently told Chris Wallace, which is just as well.
That snide little aside, I remind you, appears in a column arguing that Sarah Palin is the real elitist here.
And she added: “I’m not going to pretend to be an elitist. In fact, I’m going to fight the elitist, because for too often and for too long now, I think the elitists have tried to make people like me and people in the heartland of America feel like we just don’t get it.” At the Tea Party convention in Nashville, Palin made a similar claim for the moral superiority of ordinariness, twangily championing “real people, not politicos, not inside-the-Beltway professionals,” and “everyday Americans,” and finally “the people.” Palin is packaging herself as the perfect image of the American mean. It is an affront to the heartland....
The invocation of “the people” sounds inclusive, but it is a technique of exclusion. (This was also the case in the preamble to the Constitution.)
Just curious -- how so? Where's he getting that? I suppose he may mean "the people" excluded slaves, but the word "people" doesn't actually achieve that. "We the Free Men of the United States，or even "We the Citizens," would have that meaning; "We the People" simply does not.
Certainly the Constitution did differentiate between free men and slaves, but it did not do so with the term "the People," which actually undermines the later distinction made in the 3/5ths compromise.
But I guess we can forgive him his stupidity because he's currently posturing as a Common Man being abused by that wicked elitist Sarah Palin.
It is based upon a particular definition of “the people.” How do Palin and the partiers know who the real Americans are? The mystical certainty of her divisive intuition reminds me of what intellectual historians used to call the “epistemological privilege” of Marx’s proletariat, his reprehensible old idea that access to truth is a feature of class position. Palin, too, is idealizing the proletariat for the uniqueness of its understanding, though her economics is starkly indifferent to its tribulations. And if you throw in Palin’s views on the “social issues,” on the questions by which we measure the decency of our society, then it is clear that this is an anti-elitism that is not an egalitarianism, a common touch without genuine commonality, which is quite an accomplishment.
Um, so far she seems to be saying that "common people" are deserving of respect that the elites do not grant them, and this idiot is confirming all that.
Essentially this guy -- Leon Weisetilier of TNR -- is angry. He and his cronies have repeatedly insisted on the special privileges of what his buddy David Brooks proudly calls The Educated Class; Palin is refusing to extend that privilege to them, and he's whining about it, basically arguing that if he and his buddies are not given their special privilege to rule the plebians then Sarah Palin is being "elitist" by refusing to admit they are entitled to their asserted public-policy psuedo-intellectual droit de seigneur.
Um, like I said, he's posturing as a poor downtrodden member of the Harvard-Yale-Princeton axis, so I guess I'll permit him his stupidity.
There is also the rather immense hypocrisy of Palin and many other populists. Anyone who has run for the vice presidency, and has published a monster bestseller, and appears regularly on television, and will run for the presidency is a member in good standing of the American elite.
Ummmm... no. This is like saying that a nouveau riche arriviste is a member in good standing of the upper class. No, that guy is not, as amply demonstrated by the two slurs the Old Money class has created to put him down, "nouveau riche" and "arriviste."
The whole point is that while such a person would seem to have attained the key thing to afford him entry into that class and make him a "member in good standing" of that class, the old members of it resent his intrusion into it and come up with exclusionary put-downs to hedge him out.
And he's sitting here telling us that Sarah Palin -- Sarah Palin!, of all people -- is supposedly a "member in good standing" of the elite class, even though he, and 98% of the other members of the self-professed elite, have done nothing but belittle and savage her for two years running now.
But she's a member in good standing.
Of course she is, darling.
Is he really trying to pretend he doesn't know that blue-collar kids who make some money aren't routinely excluded and derided by their supposed social betters?
Even lesser attainments of prominence and success confer the same loathed status. The anti-elitists in the Republican caucus in the House and the Senate, and in the conservative commentariat, and in the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute and the Cato Institute--they are anti-elitists in the elite.
Um, yeah. Well, Andrew Jackson was kind of elite himself, wasn't he?, and yet he is generally considered the last of the truly great populists and anti-elitists.
Look, this is very simple, Leon: Some people are class traitors, and that's what you resent. You see people like Palin and other class traitors, people who should be thanking you allowing them to breathe the same rarefied air you do, instead running you down, and it makes you angry.
Obviously a great many conservative intellectuals have benefited from an elite education. But they do not share the ethos and mores of the Harvard-Yale-Princeton axis, and that's what makes people like this so angry with them. Not only do they resist the blandishments of the Smug Set, they confound the nice simple narrative the Smug Set likes to deploy -- that everyone who disagrees with them is uncultured, uneducated, and unintelligent.
Scott Brown proved that nothing gets you to Washington faster than a pickup truck, but he will have a hideaway now. For years liberals used to be ridiculed for their condescension to “the people.”
And rightly so. Because his expression of how in-touch with "the people" he is consists of...
” (Like every common man I adore the scene in The Deer Hunter when Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Christopher Walken, and the others in the bar sing “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” along with the jukebox, but when I saw it a few weeks ago it looked to me like a bunch of guys from Tribeca slumming in a Pennsylvania steel town.)
... watching a movie about "the poeple."
Now conservatives deserve the same ridicule. The comforting fact is that there is no significant ideology and no significant policy agenda that is not represented among the elite.
Represented among the elite, sure. "The elite" always has its share of eccentrics. (As they say, an "eccentric" is just a lunatic who has enough money to keep the agents of the loony bin away.)
But what is the dominant ethos of the self-professed elite? Is he really pretending there is not a very dominant left-liberal-progressive dominant ethos among those he terms "the elite"? (And by the way-- would this guy consider a man who'd attained the rank of Colonel at a young age "elite"? You're goddamned right he wouldn't. He means only people who fucking type for a living.)
....There is a distinction between populism and “the people,” though most populists do not want you to know it. The populism that bases its criticisms on a preference for one segment of the populace is merely another special interest, its denunciations of special interests notwithstanding.
When a "special interest" is the around 10-33% of the electorate we generally stop calling it a "special interest." How "special" is an interest shared by 90 million people?
Incidentally, this is another borrowed meme, shabbily lifted from other lefty writers with no attempt at attribution. Robert Wright was just making the stupid case that the Tea Party -- consisting of 33 million people who have actively participated in Tea Parties, and tens of millions more who consider themselves such -- was just another "special interest."
Riiiiight.
Why not just deem the entirety of the GOP one great big special interest?
(And, to attribute this myself, Mickey Kaus already questioned Wright's curious assertion that a grassroots mass of 90 million people was a "special" interest, as opposed to, say, an "interest," period.)
This does not mean that its criticisms are wrong; but when they are right, it is because their reasons are moral, not sociological.
No one really argued otherwise, idiot. If the populists sound defensive and work hard to establish their wisdom, it's because people like you have denied their wisdom and even their right to speak publicly at all for 50 years; so yeah, when they speak publicly, they do feel the burden -- which you don't -- of first establishing they have the right to be heard at all.
Now, having attempted to call Sarah Palin an "elitist," he resorts to the standard elitist meme...
...The anti-politician politicians who seek the favor of angry Americans are deceiving them, because anger is nothing more lasting than a political consultantÂ’s contract. Emotions are stoked by elections and are spent by them. What remains after the great manipulation is the increasingly Sisyphean task of public reason, which is its own kind of insurgency.
It is a cherished trope of the elitists and the left (but I repeat myself) that the uncouth, uneducated subhumans they lord over only act out of dark emotion such as fear and hate and rage, while the elite left of course is thoughtful and reasoned.
What the hell would you call this screed? I call it 800 words of angry, defensive name-calling disguised, as it often is, in that carefully-contrived more-in-sorrow-than-anger pose of the hateful leftist elite always employs when they look down upon their rebellious slaves and shake their heads with practiced sadness. If only the slaves would realize their masters mean the very best for them, and are much better equipped to make decisions for them.
But you know -- Sarah Palin is the elitist.
The left likes to claim that every term the stupid morons use for Obama -- socialist, arrogant, etc. -- is a disguised racial slur. We really mean the n-word, it is always posited.
You tell me -- is this not an 800 word, tarted up manner of calling Sarah Palin an ungrateful, uppity c*nt?

Manifesto Endorses Communism: Koz Kidz Call it "Teabagger Terrorism"
— DrewM It appears to be the building housing federal agencies and it may have been intentional.
A plane crashed into a Northwest Austin building that houses federal offices about 9:30 this morning, sending plumes of smoke into the air that could be seen for miles.CNN is quoting federal officials as saying the pilot had set his home ablaze before intentionally crashing plane into the building.
Paramedics have set up a triage center at the scene, though it is unclear how many people are injured. EMS officials said one person was unaccounted for.
“We have no idea right now if there are any patients, or how many,” Austin-Travis County EMS Assistant Director James Shamard said.
...The Internal Revenue Service has offices in the building, including its civil enforcement and criminal investigations divisions, said Special Agent Michael Lemoine, a spokesman for the criminal investigations division.
He said that some IRS offices are on the first floor, which Lemoine said was hit by the plane.
He said that the criminal investigations division personnel are safe and accounted for. He did not have information on the civil division workers, who conduct audits and other activity at the offices
FNC says the pilot may have had a tax issue and apparently thought he'd solve it by crashing his plane into the building.
I really wish assholes like this would simply go down to their basements and blow their heads off.
Get Ready! [acer] Someone with a tax issue has a strong reason to opportunistically contrive his situation into a political cause. So unless this guy was a stone liberal (and even maybe then), there's a good chance he's read some Tea Party type stuff.
The media is just salivating for that. Chris Matthews is going to announce the Tea Party has finally caused violence. And terrorism, of course. (It's terrorism when a white guy does it.)
Manifesto: Seems legit.
He does go on with crank revolutionary crap a bit, which will be used to prove he's a Tea Partier and all Tea Partiers are homicidal nuts, but he calls out one president in particular -- Bush.
It's a rambling, screedy thing, of course.
If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse.
While very few working people would say they havenÂ’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.
Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. 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.
And justice? YouÂ’ve got to be kidding!
...
I remember reading about the stock market crash before the “great” depression and how there were wealthy bankers and businessmen jumping out of windows when they realized they screwed up and lost everything. Isn’t it ironic how far we’ve come in 60 years in this country that they now know how to fix that little economic problem; they just steal from the middle class (who doesn’t have any say in it, elections are a joke) to cover their asses and it’s “business-as-usual”. Now when the wealthy fuck up, the poor get to die for the mistakes… isn’t that a clever, tidy solution.
As government agencies go, the FAA is often justifiably referred to as a tombstone agency, though they are hardly alone. 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. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.
...so he's a general crank and malcontent, it seems. I still think the media is going to try to portray him as a right-wing nut, and specifically a Tea Partier -- since the Tea Party is formally nonpartisan, they can more easily tag him as being a "Teabagger type" and not sweat the actual politics, which seem LaRouchian and/or Paulian.
We're about to see the media double-standard in starkest terms. They would not discuss Amy Bishop's politics -- which were inarguably left-wing and goofy -- but we're going to hear endlessly about this lunatic crank's politics. Which aren't even right-wing -- he's ripping politicians for not doing anything about health care, for example.
It's rare that we have two analogous, directly-comparable cases occur so soon upon the heels of each other. So this will be a remarkably enlightening case study.
Wow, Even Clearer: Jammie Wearing Fool does what I couldn't - reads all the way through -- and finds this very clear statement of principles at note's end:
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.
Oh yeah -- he's a right-wing teabagger all right.
Hit the link to see DU and Koz Kidz already calling this a "teabagger terrorist atttack," apparently missing the Communist slogan with which Stack ends his manifesto.
Teabagger terrorist attack on IRS building
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 inspired terrorist attack....
rogue robot's diary :: :: I don't believe that I am alone in demanding the President use all means necessary to stop these radical terrorists.
Any means necessary. Gee, I wonder what he might mean.
Oh well, no harm done. It's not like the media reads Kos and gets its stories from there or anything.
But Caution on the Suicide Note: Although it seems legit, news agencies haven't actually confirmed it yet. We're not 100% sure it's him.
It sure seems real, though.
Law officials are in fact working under the theory, for the moment, that it's legit.

— Ace Solid citizen.
Who would have thought that a drugged-out psychotic whore and serial false accuser would turn out to be a bad seed.
The "attempted murder" charge here seems absurd, though.
The woman who was at the center of the phony Duke lacrosse rape case was arrested today and charged with attempted murder.The Durham Police Department told ABC News that Crystal Gale Mangum got into an argument with her boyfriend, Milton Walker, shortly after midnight on Thursday.
The arrest warrant claims that Mangum, 33, scratched, punched and threw objects at Walker before taking all of his clothes and setting them on fire in a bath tub. Firefighters were sent to the home to extinguish the blaze.
Police said they had to evacuate three children, ages 10, 9 and 3, from the apartment because of the fire. It was not immediately known whose children they were.
Mangum is charged with first-degree attempted murder for communicating a threat because she allegedly told Walker in front of officers, "I'm going to stab you [expletive]!"
Unless she's a Fremen and has mastered the "Killing Word," that's not attempted murder. I suppose they might be using that statement to establish intent and calling the arson the actual act that could lead to death, but that seems contrived.
A group of 88 Duke professors just demanded prosecutors charge the Duke Lacrosse with rape "just because."

— Purple Avenger Completely "unexpected". I'm beginning to get suspicious about the number of unexpected job losses. This might be an unprecedented number of unexpecteds.
The number of U.S. workers filing new applications for unemployment insurance unexpectedly surged last week, while producer prices increased sharply in January...Unemployment up, prices up? You know what that means boys and girls; that's right; CARDIGAN sweaters, Stagflation, and best of all for all you folks in your 50's, all that tacky crap in the back of your closets will be back in style which should cut down your clothing costs for the next few years if you can still fit in them.
Also of interest/annoyance - that stimulus money that was supposed to go to weatherization of houses, has only cost $57,000/house so far. It seems the only thing stimulated was the bureaucracy involved in administering it that had to calculate the "prevailing wage" for weatherization in 3,000 counties in the USA. They must have worn out a truck load of calculators and paid a lot of carpal tunnel disability claims working on that.
And for your pleasure morning chuckle - A slide show about Obama's mad skilz at faking interest in almost anything. Two links there, the first is a LAT piece, the second a NY Magazine piece with the actual slide show. Worthy of note is the LAT and NY Magazine taking cheap shots at teh prez.
[UPDATE]
US bank lending falls at fastest rate ever recorded!
Bank lending in the US has contracted so far this year at the fastest rate in recorded history, raising concerns that the Federal Reserve may have jumped the gun by withdrawing emergency stimulus.
...The M3 broad money supply – watched by monetarists as a leading indicator of trouble a year ahead – has been contracting at a rate of 5.6pc over the last three months. This signals future deflation. The Fed's "Monetary Multplier" has dropped to a record low of 0.81, evidence that the banking system is still broken...I'm sensing mixed signals here. Are we going to get the Stagflation we all know and love, or will it be deflation? Cardigan buyers everywhere have a right to know these things! more...
