Some people in the media have a love affair with the left. These media types are longing to make a connection between the Austin man who flew his plane into a building that contained IRS office and the Tea Party movement. Joseph Andrew Stack III, who left a suicide note naming the IRS as big brother, made no mention of the tea party movement. Yet, this is the reporting that resulted (reported by Newsmax):

BusinessInsider.com ran a headline titled: “The Austin Texas Bombing Is A HUGE Image Blow To The ‘Tea Party.’ The story reported “we’re not saying Stack was a tea partier” and predicted the media would “use this as a chance to smear” tea partier organizations.

The most egregious example may have come from Washington Post editorial board writer Jonathan Capehart, who wrote: “There’s no information yet on whether [Stack] was involved in any anti-government groups or whether he was a lone wolf. But after reading his 34-paragraph screed, I am struck by how his alienation is similar to that we’re hearing from the extreme elements of the Tea Party movement.”
