What happened to 'Joe the Plumber'
This is way off topic for this blog, but I was asked to post about it and agreed to do it.I'm sure most of you have heard about 'Joe the Plumber,' the 'average American' who asked Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama a question and has been savaged - yes savaged - by America's leftist dominated media. The Left denies this is happening. But today I received a link to this post, which describes some of what Joe has gone through for having the chutzpa to ask The One whether he would raise Joe's taxes.
The media, well, the major media outlets, have had very legitimate questions of bias asked about them. They answered these questions in full force by descending upon and gutting an ordinary Amercican single father trying to make a living, who had the temerity to ask one of the candidates a question when the candidate went walking through his neighborhood. This person was eviscerated, lambasted by the media, and in the most distressing turn of events, by one of the candidate teams. Think about that. Now it looks like this guy is going to be thrown out of work, lose his drivers license, and who knows what else.In an email to me, Joe the Blogger explained:
I am disgusted by this. I find this to be utterly and completely vile, beyond reprehensible behavior. Not just on the part of the media, whom have now demonstrated their bias so clearly and unequivocally. But by one of the candidate teams, who lambasted the man, and haven’t reigned in their minions in the media. One must call into question why this candidate team holds this American in such contempt. Because he dared to ask a question?
Synopsis is that McCain held up this fellow Joe as a typical person who would be negatively impacted by BHO's policies. BHO responded weakly on it during the debate, but his minions in the media descended upon this poor guy and ripped him several new ones. As a result of their probing, the guy is probably going to lose his job and his drivers license. Not because he is a bad person, but because, like many of us whom have ever lived hand to mouth (I did in graduate school), he had to make hard decisions about what to pay and when to pay it. Additionally it sounds like he took the word of his boss on whether or not he needed a plumbers license for the work he was doing.
...
The media descended on this guy, parked on his lawn and dug into his past. They found out he doesn't have a plumbing license, and after contacting the Toledo government, apparantly Joe will not be allowed to work as a plumber any more. They dug through his tax records and found out he is behind in paying income taxes, which they gleefully reported. They dug through his driving record and found some unpaid court costs which they gleefully reported, and will likely result in his license being suspended.
Think about this. Over the top was way long ago. This is outrageous, and I am outraged. I'd like to see more people put up an I AM JOE sticker on their blogs and other places.
I don't know how to do it, but I hope someone will start a blogburst or a blogroll for this guy. Welcome to Hussein's America. Glad I live in Israel.

However , obama will bugger Israel even more than America. You may have to come back
The question I have for Joe the Plumber is "did McCain's campaign get your permission to put you out there in the wilderness?" Because if they did, and if he agreed, he should have known that he'd be investigated and questioned. It goes without saying that if you put yourself in the middle of an important national debate, you'd better be ready to stand strong on your position.
If McCain's campaign did not get Joe's permission, shame shame on them. If they did, they should have done better vetting (what's that? they ask, post Palin) to see exactly what Joe's tax status is/was/would be. As it turns out, he's somewhat of a tax scofflaw, and makes less than $250K, and perhaps his taxes would NOT go up under Obama's policy. So not such a great example for McCain to put out there. Shame on McCain's campaign for letting a supporter take it in the gut like that.

To call you a moron is an insult to morons. What in God's name does the McCain campaign have to do with this? The Messiah, Barack Obama, (Blessings Be Upon Him) was literally walking by Joe's house for a photo op with "average Americans" and "taking questions". It wasn't Joe's question but The Messiah's Marxist answer that turned out to be news. This is what you get when you have the audacity to ask Our Lord and Savior a question when he doesn't have his teleprompter in front of him. You get to know how he really thinks. His campaign handlers couldn't have that!! So they, and their minions in the media proceeded to destroy this man's life. Welcome to the new Fascist America where you will be destroyed if you question our Fuehrer (Blessings Be Upon Him)
Karen, that post response you made is the epitome of the stupidity we see the main stream media go to in defense of their candidate, the chosen one. Joe the plumber is a guy who asked Obama a question. Thats it.
McCain pointed out that Joe had legitimate concerns, and McCain was correct.
Obama and Biden savaged this guy. Showed him the same utter contempt that you just did. It doesn't matter that he has late taxes, we all have at one point or the other. It doesn't matter about the "not a real plumber" BS we hear from the liberal idiots, because that doesn't matter either. Nor the driver license thing.
What matters Karen is that Obama and Biden jumped down this guys throat in public fora, ridiculed him. Showed utter contempt for a single American father struggling to keep afloat, and do right by his son.
Your response to this is typical of liberal loonies. You don't realize that all of us, apart from the elite, have been or are Joe's right now. Every single one of us.
Obama demonstrated his contempt for us. All of us. Some of us are smart enough to notice this. Others, like yourself, don't appear to have caught on yet.
Either come into the light, and understanding of what Obama really represents for this country, as a fundamental danger to the fabric of our society, or go back to you liberal loonie playhouse and pretend that Obama didn't just disrespect you in a major way.
Vladimir Lenin called people like you his "useful idiots". I feel sorry for you Karen. Very sorry.

She'll be the next victim
Karen: Where do we go to get approved in order to be able to ask a prospective employee a question? Joe never said he made $250K. He said that he would like to possibly buy the company he works for and that in the future he might want to buy a company that makes $250 - $280K per year. Maybe add another crew and another truck. Obama came to his neighborhood. Obama approached him? If the McCain people knew this was going to happen, I know I want McCain as CIC. He has the best intelligence network ever devised because he knew exactly what Obama was going to do and say and when he was going to do it. How brilliant to plan years in advance. Just think; they bought Joe a house, they got him a job as an unlicensed plumber and arranged Obama's stroll through his neighborhood and hypnotized Obama causing him to speak truthfully of his plans to "spread the wealth around". Why, they even bought the football Joe and his son were tossing.
Did you honestly put any thought into your post? The old adage that there is none so blind as one who will not admit what he sees certainly applies in your case. Darlin', you are definitely BLIND!
I feel so sorry for you. You are obviously educated wayyyyy beyond your intelligence and if Obama is elected, you will get you just desserts.

I don't know which is siker:
1. that obama ,Biden and his MSM apparachiks are using Gestapo tactics against a working class American because he had the audacity to ask the One a question.
or
2. Jewish liberals would have the audacity to defend such tactics.
Maybe, i shouldn't be surprised.
All I'm saying is that McCain is the one who put Joe out there in the national spotlight. Obama and Joe might have had a conversation. Good for Joe for asking Obama tough questions. Someone (Joe?) thought it would be good fodder for the mill, and someone decided to bring it to national television in the debate. That wasn't Obama.
Personally, I don't pay my taxes late. And I don't make as much as Joe thinks his plumbing business might. And what makes you think I'm a Jewish liberal?
And what makes you think I'm a Jewish liberal?
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck,...
Hmmm.
I'm jewish. Maybe it is time to move to Israel.
What's it like there these days?
Karen, you did a great Job, Joe is actually the under dog because of McCain and that jut shows you, that Republics don't pay their taxes anyway so why are they bothered. Forget it guys He is now JOE THE DUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Israel needs to be on high alert if Obama wins, he has a LOT of Palestinian friends and loyalties, this American Jewess and lifelong Democrat is proud to be voting for McCain/Palin:) Do Israelis realize how dangerous Obama is?
Do you really believe McCain gives a shit about that guy? It is all just political posturing. McCain is trying to appear like "real" people by embracing JTP. How out of touch is that? Joe is an alarmist, blue collar rube who is taking advantage of his 15 minutes by spouting off his empty-headed mouth. Joe threw himself under the bus. I guess it is better to see America go down in economic flames with a President (God forbid) that voted with Bush 95% of the time than to be led by a man different than him. No, not black, smart. Shame on McCain for endorsing Joe's type of myopic bigotry.
And where do you think Palin's allegience is? The PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH. They believe that if one is not of the "Lord’s True Church" by being saved in baptism in Jesus' name, filled with the Holy Ghost and showing evidence of speaking in tongues... one is headed for a Devil’s hell. Any Jew or Jewess has more to fear from her than any fictitious loyalties Obama has. That means "not real". Can't you see how someone like Palin can spout those lies so easily? There is no evidence of any assertions other than the crazy rants coming from the Republican ticket and thier whack job followers. It is all part of Karl Rove's nefarious ideology, that is if you repeat a lie enough it becomes the truth. Suckers.
Joe is admittedly discussing things he knows nothing about. He's said he knows little about foreign policy. He's just regurgitating the same nonsense that the RNC is trying to propagate. How does Obama really feel about Israel? Read this interview with him:
http://jeffreygoldberg.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/05/obama_on_zionism_and_hamas.php
And seriously... Hussein? First of all, someone's name is completely arbitrary and even if it did mean anything, one does not name themselves. Calling attention to Barack Obama's middle for political gain is completely illogical. If you want to talk about the real Hussein, how about McCain's Saddam Hussein connection?

The most absurd thing about this whole thing is that if you actually watch the whole discussion between Jo the manipulated plumber and Obama, all that Obama says is that those earning over $250,000 will pay 39% instead of 36% tax. Note also that this means only paying the 39% rate once you've got up to the $250,000 earnings. (and only 5% earn over 250k in any case). Obama clearly set out that under his tax plan, Joe would have been better off over the last few years. There was nothing vaguely socialist, let alone Marxist about what Obama said. Just shows how damn stupid the majority of Republicans are that they just accept what they're told by Fox News. And now we have Joe commenting on Obama's plans for Israel. LOL?!
Worry not about Obama. The right wing pro Israeli lobby is still far too powerful. Israel will continue to get away with human rights abuses and will have the unqualified support of the US. Incidentally, I speak as a Jew with half my family living in Israel.
What I'd like to know is, when will people quit saying Berry's middle name? Who the hell cares if it's Hussain? What if it was Pancho? Whould u all say that he was a villan and a killer like Pancho Villa was?LMFAO
