Atrocious to Smear a Private Citizen

I think it is atrocious for the press to try to smear a private citizen who merely used his first amendment rights to question a candidate! He didn't ask for all this attention, and he has not stated who he will be voting for, but since John McCain received some points in the debate last night about an exchange "Joe the Plumber" had with Barack Obama the press is out to destroy this man. Good Grief! The man is a plumber! An average citizen. Now the left wing is trying to vilify him like he's George Bush! How HORRIBLE! And the extremists on the left seem to be following in lock step. No compassion for an ordinary man UNLESS he shares their socialist viewpoint. This is about as dirty as it gets!

Why not? A victim can turn things around. I hope he does.

I know you are trying to obfuscate. I can't blame you for that.

Do you have a link that indicates Obama adores the China way of doing business?

So which 'Obama supporter' dug up the facts about Joe? Names please. How did said 'Obama supporter' come to learn about poor Joe the plumber? Who fed them his name and geographic location? Did Obama? No. Did McCain - over 20 times? Yes. Who plans on 'spending more time with him'? Obama - no. McCain - yes. End of argument.

no just laying out the facts that you seem to be overlooking:

Obfuscation is the concealment of meaning in communication, making it confusing and harder to interpret

By leaving OUT some pertinent facts you are trying to conceal the meaning = you are the one trying to obfuscate.

Nice try though.
