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!

Have all the other people who have been used in debates before been asked if it is okay to use their names and/or situations?
How was McCain supposed to know that this man would be smeared? This has NEVER happened before, and plenty of ordinary citizens' names have been used in debates. That argument really doesn't hold any water.
imagine yourself in this position - it would be flattering
Not for me it wouldn't.
You evidently didn't read the headlines online today.
Actually - I heard him say he couldn't make the McCain rally as he was going to be in New York City.
