I don't get that at all. What I get from this note is a sense that Stack's been getting screwed by the powerful, both public and private, and finally lashed out. Of course this reaction is foolish, and frankly won't do a think to further his cause, but I don't get "Tea Partier" at all. I get "poor". His direct attacks on GM, the Bush administration and the rich are anything but Tea Party.
One thing is for sure: this guy absolutely sucks at picking targets.

Terrorism is the use of violence (crashing a plane into a building with people in it) against non-combatant targets (the IRS is not a military or intelligence target, they are unarmed) in order to bring about an atmosphere of terror (scared of planes crashing yet? You should be) and force political change (did you read his letter? He wants political change).
