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!

"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."


Uh, You continue to play with the facts, John.


Obama did not come to Joe’s house.

If one does not want attention, one should keep ones mouth shut. He have been giving more interviews with Sarah Palin.

>>> Um, no it's not. Not paying your taxes is something he's guilty of, doing commercial plumbing without the proper license is something he's guilty of.

You don't know the circumstances of his tax situation is and his specific occupational circumstances might be such that he's not required to have a license. But to a greater point...who cares? Again, this guy just asked Obama a question about his taxes and how they might affect him IN THE FUTURE...and now the pathetic libs feel the need to destroy him rather than see the inadequacies of their savior and his Marxist philosophies.

I think you mean he's been giving more interviews than Sarah Palin.

No. Obama came to his house. It was the day he was canvassing neighborhoods.

Yes. It was the day Obama was canvassing blue collar neighborhoods.

Listen to this. It is posted further down on the board. He did an interview with a radio station and the interviewer got it wrong thinking it was some sort of rally and Joe The Plumber explained that he was just out in the front of his house passing the football with his son when Obama, secret service, and spectators came down his street and stopped right in front of Joe the Plumber's house.
