The Left Declares War on Joe the Plumber

Michelle Malkin : The Left Declares War on Joe the Plumber - Townhall.com

Six-term Sen. Joe Biden's got some nerve going after citizen Joe the Plumber. But the entrenched politician from Delaware, who fancies himself the nation's No. 1 Ordinary Joe, had no choice. Obama-Biden simply can't tolerate an outspoken citizen successfully painting the Democratic ticket as socialist overlords. And so a dirty, desperate war against Joe Wurzelbacher is on.

The left's political plumbers are attacking the messenger, rummaging through his personal life and predictably wielding the race card once again. It's standard operating procedure for the Obama thug machine.

Wurzelbacher, in case you've been in hibernation, is the small-business man from Ohio who questioned Obama about his tax plan during a Toledo campaign swing last weekend. The revealing exchange was caught on tape and broadcast widely across the Internet and TV airwaves.

In response to Wurzelbacher's question about why he should be "taxed more and more for fulfilling the American dream," Obama sermonized that he needed to "spread the wealth around" because "it's good for everybody."

What does that say about us as a society...?

Get off your high horse socal,nobody beats the republicans when it comes to dirty tactics,the article is by Michelle Malkin at nasty little piece of work she is,she used to stand in for Big Tough Bill O'Reilly and made him look like a saint.

No high horse, just a comment on how we have evolved.

Wurzelbacher is about $1000 behind on his taxes. Hardly an issue any news org. would take notice of for any other reason than to discredit a person. Why would anyone look into a private citizen's personal affairs who a politician approached his yard and began a conversation with?
Obama did nothing wrong. He simply accidentally publicly exposed his socialist agenda.
And yes, the right will use a politician's words to expose him for what he is. Especially when the media ignores anything that may cast a shadow over any aspect of that politician.
The wrong in going after Wurzelbacher is that going after him was an effort to focus on him rather than the content of Obama's answer.

This is known as "quote mining". Republicans and Creationists do this a lot.

And Liberals and abortionists do not..?

In the spirit of fair play, stay balanced.

Sabz - are you saying that Obama is not a socialist..?
