Attacking the average Joe?

Do you think Joe should be attacked by the media and bloggers?

Obama Mocks Joe the Plumber, Crowd Laughs

Apparently they have dug though his divorce records and his tax records , and did you know his first name isn't Joe , it is Samuel J.

If only they would have vetted the actual candidates with this much enthusiasm.

Let's totally destroy this guys life because he asked a question?
He didn't even have a difference of opinion with Obama, he just asked a question that made a big splash.

Obama said spread the wealth around, why is this Joe's fault?

Will this make it more unlikely for other average Joes to ask poignant questions?

There are many ways to silence people.

Now I'm angry.

A plumber is the guy he is fighting for!?
Obama,

What's your point< Obama?

crowd laughs!?

What is so funny?

This is the way the Democrats have always operated my friend. They destroy anyone who stands up against them.

All this man did was voice his god given right to an opinion and now he is being attacked through the MSM. It's shameless really. I don't think the media or the government has any right to attack a private citizen like this.

Apparently this Joe the plumber guy , 1. is behind on taxes, doesn't even have a plumbers license and neither does his employer.. this guy is going to be ruined by these political games..

Why should a guy need a plumbers license.. any licensing to me is just wrong.. thus why I do my own electrical and plumbing etc..

But none the less this guy is going to be ruined by these political games now that hes being investigated by every media outlet out there, every agency that possibly exists..

Yet one more item of proof that we are slaves.. free range slaves, but slaves none the less.

This is actually "Sad" coming from the government. They are pathetic! They don't know what we want, they don't know what we actually need. So what is the use of them? < ! >

No they don't have a right to drag this guy through the mud.

Just saw an Obama spokesperson on TV the first thing he did was bring up all this pointless BS about Joe, instead of debating the issue.

I am just you average Jane, and I am livid.

Yes, he is going to be ruined, because he asked a question,

NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!

I have been behind on my taxes too, I just got caught up,

It's truly pathetic.

I'm waiting for one of the MSM hacks to suggest that Joe is a racist too. I'm sure it will happen, I just don't know when.

Oh didn't you hear, they already did,

Joe said Obama was tap dancing around the issue, apparently that was racist.

Dear God help me!!!!!!

You're kidding!

Who said something about racism? Where did you hear that?

I will have to go find it, I read through so much info everyday, it is a sickness, but I will post it as soon as I find it.

All this proves is that Obama is not the answer to George Bush. I'm not saying I like Bush but at least he doesn't pretend to be anything other than he is. Can't say the same for Obama. That guy has been all smoke and mirrors from the beginning... and sadly so many people appear to be under his spell.

I believe in Obama as much as I believed a big GFL spaceship was going to drop into earth orbit and save the planet on Oct 14th.

Just another 4$$hole IMHO.

Looking at all this from across the pond, the constant bickering and political baiting is most entertaining. What with all the partisan oneupmanship going on and all the personal attacks.
People really need to take a step back from it all and take a real hard look at politics and what / who they are presented with. Only by doing this can you come to realise that you are all being taken for suckers. All these "talking points" about what somebody said or who they are affiliated to are there by design to mask the fact that the candidates are completely clueless front men for the big money holders behind the scenes. When was the last time any one of these bozos actually did anything positive for the country of for the majority of the people? That is what should be the focus, not petty partisan bickering whipped up by the media talking heads whose bosses have a vested interest in the outcome.

I like the comments on that page from others in support of Joe.

I think this is another example of the Obama media shooting bullets that are going to backfire on them. I get the real feeling that people really like Joe, and now the the media is on a personal vendetta to destroy him, it's just going to fire people up.

Part of me hopes they keep this up.

I think that comment needs to be directed to the Republican campaign, who so tenaciously held onto Joe's persona in the failed effort to discredit Obama on his tax plan. I've followed the threads here, and it doesn't appear to me that Joe would suffer that much of a financial hit anyhow under Obama's plan. McCain, however, was adamant about it.

Look, if Obama and his campaign kept their mouth shut about Joe, McCain would still make sure that Joe is certain to become a subject of much scrutiny... So the way I see it, McCain is to blame here.

you can say what you want about Obamas tax plan, but perhaps you should do some research. How (with all the new legislation and bills that Obama wants to pass) do you think hes going to pay for it all? You think hes going to have the funds to give a tax cut? I dont think so, hes going to have to raise taxes, even if he only did 1/3 of what hes proposing. Tho i feel bad for Joe, dont worry bout it dude, you arent getting left out, because there wont BE a tax cut.

Actually, there is nothing 'failed' about it.
In Obama's own words - socialism.

McCain is to blame because an average guy asked Obama a question and Obama got caught with his pants down being a socialist.??? McCain is to blame for Obama's smear tactics against the Joe the Plumber - the average guy on the street - who dared to ask a question that showed Obama's true colors?


Destroy Joe the Plumber

Michelle Malkin has a fantastic piece on her blog about Joe Biden trying to destroy Joe the Plumber.

Destroying the average guy just for daring to ask a hard question of 'The One'.

Welcome to pre-nazi Germany. It's coming ... no doubt about it.

Exactly, the guy just asked a question,

The answer was Obama's,

Simple, we don't have to make this complicated,

It has been noted that an average plumber does not make $250k a year.
So the "average" argument is a non-starter.

Average plumber income is $47k.
