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!

If it wasn't true you can be sure the media would have called her on it by now!

Yes. Joseph Stalin surely believed that too!

Actually I think the media has largely ignored her lately. She doesn't seem to be willing to talk to them anymore. Or maybe they have figured out that she doesn't have an original thought in her head? I don't know, but Sarah Palin hasn't really SHOWN she is an expert at anything, all claims aside.

Exactly how is this guy's life being "destroyed". Not having a plumbing license and owing a little more than a grand in taxes is no big deal. Most accounts that I have read even admitted that he might not have even KNOWN he owed those taxes, and some of the accounts I have read have stated that he did not even need a licence because he was working under someone else's.

Obama did not write these stories, so I hardly see why he is getting blamed for this.

Remember a guy who's life was almost destroyed - that was Terry Schiavo's husband who received death threats while Frist was grandstanding on the floor of Congress - thank goodness that weird guy is gone.

Put that finger back in your holster dude.

Joe the jerk could have said no to all of those reporters. He didn't, he went on all of those right wing shows doing his chest thumping act. What did he think would happen?

Do you remember what the right wing attack on Cindy Sheehan?

The msm try to ignore her because her speeches are very effective. Factcheck would be calling her on any lies she would tell. You know that.
