Sweeping Obama’s Socialist Answer To Joe The Plumbers Question Under The Rug
Kudos to Mother May I Sleep With My Teacher blog:
October 19, 2008
The Associated Press has a story about Joe’s appearance on Mike Huckabee’s new show on Fox News last night. Apparently Joe talked about how much fun he’s not having as these rabid media freaks try to tear him apart. But the story totally skips over why they’re trying to tear him apart:
Wurzelbacher became famous after he met Obama and said the Democrat’s tax proposal could keep him from buying the two-man plumbing company where he works. However, reports of Wurzelbacher’s annual earnings suggest he would receive a tax cut rather than an increase under Obama’s plan.
Who’s doing the suggesting? Beats me. Must have been suggested in the hourly instructions they get from the Obama campaign.
More importantly, there is no indication whatsoever of how Obama replied to the question. In case you missed it, this is what he said:
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success, too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
They can’t repeat that, of course. They can’t risk even more people finding out that Obama is a socialist. Even though it’s the only real reason we’re still even talking about Joe the Plumber.
It is completely bizarre. There’s no stated explanation in the AP story why Joe’s the target of this media assault. They’re attacking him, you see, because they’re attacking him.
Yeah, McCain mentioned him in the debate, fine. That doesn’t explain why they’re treating Joe like this. Is he the first person McCain’s ever mentioned in a debate? Is he the first person who’s ever asked a politician about taxes?
No. He’s under assault because he happened to be there when Obama was caught without a teleprompter and started babbling about socialism in front of a TV camera.
We need to get in their faces. We need to say, “Why are you doing this?” We need to get them to admit it.
And for added measures…..just because I needed a laugh.
The lowdown on Joe the plumber
As many of you know, Joe the plumber has become an appendage of the McCain campaign, wailing away at Barack Obama like a kid on a piñata. In fact, since Joe’s arrival on the political scene, McCain has seen his poll numbers rise.
Thankfully, the media is investigating this phenom and the more we learn about Joe the plumber, the less credible he’s becoming. Discrediting items our friends in the press have revealed thus far include the following tid-bits:
His membership in a radically racist church for more than 20 years, a membership he’s since renounced.
His friendship with that church’s racist pastor, a friendship that inspired Joe to write a book called “The Audacity of Pipe (Cutters)”.
His first home was funded in part by a friend currently under federal indictment for an illegal kickback scheme.
His girlfriend had a pretty radical history and has only recently revealed her pride in America now that Joe is a celebrity. Sources also reveal that her senior year thesis is racially tinged and rooted in identity politics.
Persistent rumors detail his relationship with an unrepentant domestic terrorist, a person whose backed up toilet launched Joe’s plumbing career.
He has a ‘lost’ brother who lives in a shack in West Virginia that lacks indoor plumbing.
His ties to the fraudulent and scandal ridden Association of Plumbing Organizations for Reform Now (APORN).
He raised plumbing fees 94 times in the last two years.
This is but a small part of why Joe the plumber should be dismissed out of hand and why John McCain’s embrace of the man should disqualify him from being the next President of the United Sates.
