NYT: "First Tea Party Terrorist?"
— Ace

I won't even link it. It's "The Opnionator" at the NYT if you care.

Let me just quote his defensive reaction to criticism:

Postscript (added after reading a few dozen angry comments): Just to clarify a few things: 1) When I said in this column that you could in principle follow my logic to conclude that Joseph Stack was a Tea Party terrorist, I should have added the explicit reminder that this logic depended on accepting the somewhat squishy definition of “Tea Party” ideology that, I argue, is appropriate given the still-inchoate nature of the movement; 2) I’m of course not saying that Stack has much in common with the average law-abiding Tea Partier (any more than Osama bin Laden has much in common with the average law-abiding Muslim or law-abiding Islamist) — even though I do think that intense rage, which Stack evinced so violently, can be found on the movement’s fringes; 3) I’m definitely not, as some commenters seem to think, saying that Stack is a conservative terrorist. Indeed, my point is that the Tea Party movement is still undefined enough to accommodate ideologically eclectic people. However, I think commenters who take the Stack manifesto’s closing reference to the Communist Manifesto as a sign of communist sympathies are misreading his intent; and I suspect his closing characterization of capitalism isn’t meant as a rejection of free-market economics but rather as a complaint that capitalism has become corrupted in America. I think the overall point of those two references is that capitalism, as it’s being corruptly practiced, is no better than communism, and may be worse. But there will never be any way of knowing for sure what he meant.

He has no evidence at all for the bolded crap -- he wants the guy to be a Tea Partier, therefore he is a Tea Partier. (Despite having never once attended a Tea Party meeting nor attempted to join the local Tea Party.)

Contrary evidence -- all the leftist cant in the suicide note -- is just dismissed as a not-entirely-right-wing sort of Tea Party populism, and the explicit praise of Communism is dismissed as meaning something other than it clearly does.

They've got their Narrative and they're sticking to it.

The lying bastard Robert Wright takes a page out of the leftist playbook, too, by not even mentioning the endorsement of Communism. As the entire media did. He mentions it in the chunk I quote above, but that's only in a postscript to his original hack-work, and he only mentions it because his gross deception was made very public in the comments.

This is what they do -- Wright has no evidence, or even any argument, that the endorsement of Communism is being "misread." The ipse dixit nature of his postscript claim demonstrates that. So, having no good way to spin the quote, he simply omitted it.

As the media does again, and again, and again, and again. Facts which are damaging to the Democratic Media Party, but which can be slanted, get reported, but with spin.

Facts which are damaging to the Democratic Media Party, which cannot be slanted, are simply embargoed altogether.

Right, because Communism has always been practiced in a pure and uncorrupted form. Sounds like this f*cktard is jealous: "Hey, YOU can't reject free-market capitalism -- only WE media elites can reject free-market capitalism!"

The Texas plane-crasher was an angry, very angry, unstable man whose writings seem to have a positive view of communism.  The Alabama shooter was an angry, unstable woman who had killed before and creeped people out.  Oh, and she was a vocal supporter of Obama.  These murderers are not Tea Partiers, they are crazy, lefty, murderers and it ticks me off that the MSM thinks they can tie decent patriots to teh crazy lefties. 

The ability to ignore the MSM and their manipulations, and get the truth from other sources, is going to make all the difference in the world.  Hope those out of work ABC spin meisters enjoy their funemployment!

"But there will never be any way of knowing for sure what he meant."

Especially if you try to get that information from the NYT!

Let me tell you what Stack and Bishop have in common that the MSM is trying to obscure with all the bullshit like this:

Stack and Bishop were both convinced of their entitlement to successes they had not worked to earn, and of their right to take literally other's lives in retribution against an economic system they despised, because it was based on ability rather than "need".

In other words, they were stone cold leftists!  Suck it, Wright!

I think Ace is giving them much too much credit.  I think the NYT argument is as follows:

1.  I don't know what Stack wanted, and I didn't know Stack.

2 I don't know what the Teaparty wants and I don't know any of them.

Therefore Stack == Teaparty

Excuse me for pointing this out, but the line "from each according to his ability, etseq." is not from the communist manifesto but the critique of the gotha program written by Friedrich Engles. Regardless, its appeal to someone like Stack is clear, wherever he got it, probably from public school.

93 However, I think commenters who take the Stack manifestoÂ’s closing reference to the Communist Manifesto as a sign of communist sympathies are misreading his intent; Lee Harvey Oswald defected to Russia and was a member of the "Fair Play for Cuba" committee--and he was a Tea Partier, too! A left-wing, Marx-quoting Texas Tea Partier!

94 To be fair, the NYT's Upper East Side Pretty Little Heads would explode if they couldn't squeeze the square Stack peg into the round Teaparty hole.  So it's for the children.  And the bandsaw industry.

95 So Robert Wright thinks the tea party is "undefined", so he can lump any ol criminal action he wants into it. But there will never be any way of knowing for sure what Robert Wright meant.  Because ya know, Robert Wright is an idiot.

118 I'd say, considering all those Obama grew up at the knees of to learn about communism, and those he currently has stacked his administration at all levels with that are socialist/Marxist/communist "vow-ists", and on the other hand those of Chicago thug-politics within reach of his hands, there is so much more to make Obama a confirmed Marxist Chicago Thug than there is to connect Joseph Stack with the Tea Party movement in this country.     But, I could be wrong and the NYT writer could be right because I have an 'agenda' and he doesn't. Never would. He's an unbiased NYT writer. They're famous for being unbiased, you know.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

145 I don't know if Jonah Goldberg has commented on this, but this column could be straight out of Liberal Fascism. When the left wants to demonize the Tea Parties, they characterize them as being made up of peculiarly right-wing nutjobs. But when some violent nut shares one or two ideas with the Tea Parties, among a bunch of leftist claptrap, the Tea Parties become nonideological "populist" events. As Goldberg explained, when a historical leftist sins, his sin is America's collective sin. When a historical rightist sins, it's the right's sin alone. That's what's happening here. Incidentally, I saw a leftist try to make the opposite argument today, i.e., the Tea Parties claim to be ideologically diverse, but when someone who shares some ideas with the Tea Parties does something violent, the Tea Parties become strictly right-wing. It's nonsense of course. The Tea Parties are ideologically diverse, BUT they have some basic principles that are non-negotiable, and this nutjob didn't share them.

Posted by: Masturbatin' Pete at February 24, 2010 06:04 PM (H3uNC)

146 For some reason, this quote from Stack's letter hasn't made the rounds as it should:

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.

As someone noted above, Stack:
Hates Big PharmaHates Big InsuranceHates GM executivesHates George W. Bush and his "cronies"Hates organized religionRefers favorably to communismAnd in his last words before dying, bashes capitalismNY Times verdict: He'd fit right in at a tea party.

As the media does again, and again, and again, and again. Facts which are damaging to the Democratic Media Party, but which can be slanted, get reported, but with spin.

Facts which are damaging to the Democratic Media Party, which cannot be slanted, are simply embargoed altogether.

- - -

Yep. Here's a perfect example of both the first and the second technique:

http://tinyurl.com/yfdjaxj

The poll shows that only 25% of respondents want 0bamaCare to be passed. But the headline is "CNN Poll: Health Care Provisions Popular But Overall Bills Unpopular." And the majority of the article is dedicated to explaining just how wildly popular some of the provisions of 0bamaCare are. This is obviously an attempt by CNN to say to the voters - "Hey, dummies, you should really start supporting this 0bamaCare bill, because you like what's in it."

And while they mention the popular provisions, they don't mention many of the unpopular parts, like higher health insurance premiums, Medicare being gutted, tax increases, benefits being delayed several years, bigger government, bigger deficits, more spending, more debt, and the assorted bribes and kickbacks that were required to get it passed in the Senate.
