Over at DailyKos, a rosy-eyed liberal writes that today’s tragedy in Austin “should inject a bit of caution into the anti-government flame-throwers on the right.” Commenters refer to the alleged pilot, Joe Stack, as a “Terror Bagger.” Another dons the blinders to suggest that his manifesto is a “tea bag” document, but that
“This guy probably wasn’t a typical teabagger, but more likely a conservative businessman who blames the government for his failure.”
From reading this, you wouldn’t even know that Stack’s apparent suicide screed contained a cross of left-wing, anti-corporate, anti-religious ideology and personal insanity. But let’s not rush to judgement: Despite these similarities, Joe Stack is by no means an indictment of the Daily Kos website or its membership.
