bemused_leftistPeople have been protesting the IRS for decades. 'Tea Party' is a recent movement protesting the Stimulus bills and deficit spending.
Labeling a criminal as a 'Tea Partiest' or worse a 'Tea Bagger' on no real evidence is as bad as labeling some random criminal a 'Muslim terrorist' or whatever -- when he may not even BE a Muslim. It suggests that anyone who throws a bomb must be a Muslim -- that all Muslims throw bombs -- or all Tea Party people do violence.
A Google search for [ IRS "Tea Party" -Austin -plane ] doesn't find much, so apparently the IRS has not been a big issue for Tea Party people.
Maybe Stack was just a D&D player.
ETA: Here's his statement with lots of popup ads:
