Atrocious to Smear a Private Citizen
| Thu, 10-16-2008 - 4:22pm |
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!

Here's what John McCain said TODAY about it:
Nonetheless, McCain elicited boos from a fired-up crowd when he said of Wurzelbacher, "People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn't ask Sen. Obama to come to his house. He wasn't recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Sen. Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks."

To me, that's part of the problem.

Obama came to his HOUSE???
No, it's just a coincidence. There's no relation, apparently.
Still, you'd think that if the McCain campaign knew it’s a$$ from a hot rock when it came to vetting people, they'd have realized that a guy with the last name "Wurzelbacher" - even if he WASN'T a relation - isn't the kind of association you want to make in people's minds.
