If you don't know the story by now, "Joe the Plumber" was a guy who asked Obama a question and it was being videotaped...

Since there was no teleprompter present, Obama forgot to steer clear of his socialist agenda and outright blurted that he wants to spread around everyone's money so the people who become successful are forced to help people that are either unsuccessful or outright not even trying to be successful and live off of the government's dole...

Here's the video...


Now, of course, the issue is Obama's response and his position on taxes...

BUT...

The Left sees this as someone DARING to question the Anointed One...

So what are they doing?...You got it...

Attacking Joe the Plumber...

The official “WHO IS JOE THE PLUMBER?” thread

Notice how the issue of Obama isn't even mentioned...

It's just "attack the guy who dared to ask a question to the Lamb of Chicago"...

And, as sure as the sun rises, we have the obligatory "Joe is a racist" line because he said that Obama's answer to him was "a tap dance...almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr."

Stay classy...

Character assassination is what happens to people who have character... This man is operating as a plumber without a license and is behind in taxes. Would you care to show me where one's character was assassinated?

This has nothing to do with Barack, it has everything to do with McCain picking the wrong example of middle-class virtue.

Yeah...

Joe must've used his vulcan mind-meld...

From the Toledo Blade...

I'm sure he said to his son "Hey!...

Let's go play football out in the front yard just in case a presidential candidate decides to stop by and I can get him to show himself as a socialist."...

This doesn't help your case... We still haven't seen this great image of America coming from this man.

Once again....

THIS MAN should not be the issue...It's a distraction while AVOIDING the real issue, which is Obama's pure, 100%, prime-cut socialist answer...

1. Obama isn't a socialist, he's a liberal. There is a difference.
2. McCain made Joe the Plumber an issue by exalting him as the prime example of good Americans being hurt by Obama's polices.
3. Joe the Plumber wouldn't be hurt by Obama's policies.

Therefore there is no real example of a 'common' man being hurt by Obama's plan which is the argument that McSame was trying to make.

Don't you know that when somebody posts some extremist leftist troll crap they found on somebody else's message board, that you have to turn around and defend it...


I swear.
If it ain't the right (as in Palin / McCain) throwing insults at Obama, ...
... it's the right complaining about insults thrown around on message boards.

I think it's time for me to dig up some of Bhkad's posts in response...

I'm with Jon Stewart on this...
Joe the Plumber's House | The Daily Show | Comedy Central

Why are we vetting this guy? The Joe the Plumber guy?
He's already done more interviews than Sarah Palin.

The only REAL thing that needs to come up is that he WILL NOT pay higher taxes under Obama's plan.
The rest is garbage being treated as window dressing.

They tell you that everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame.
What they don't tell you is that 12 of those minutes is a rectal exam.

Sad, but true...


And an off-track comment on this quote...

It's like pulverizing an apple pie, heating it up on a spoon, and injecting it directly into your eye-ball...
