It’s not clear who the Austin, TX plane crash pilot Joe Stack hung out with, but let’s just put it out there and stop playing pretend: this is not good publicity for the “Tea Party” right, and no, we’re not saying Stack was a tea partier.<\/p>\n

But in his insane manifesto he rails against the IRS, bailouts, and, well, all of the right wing’s typical enemies.<\/p>\n

Is this fair to the right? No. Will some of the media use this as a chance to smear the “tea partiers”? Sure.<\/p>\n

But we’re not talking about what’s fair, we’re just talking about what happens.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that this event is to Obama what Oklahoma City was to Bill Clinton, and Oklahoma City helped Clinton a lot in the dark days after the 1994 election.<\/p>\n
