He is not a Tea Party member as some are reporting, but someone from the opposite end of the spectrum with Communist sympathies. For more posts like this click here.

CNN's Sanchez and Velshi Omit Stack's Communist Sympathies

A trend is beginning to develop in the media reports concerning Joe Stack, the man who allegedly smashed a plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas: his disgust for capitalism and support of communism must be ignored at all cost.
As NewsBusters previously reported, both Time.com and a blog posting at the Washington Post have conveniently skipped two crucial sentences at the end of Stack's suicide note:

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.
