Webloggin » Life Under Obama - Public Persecution of Joe The Plumber as Seen in Real Time

Ah, how nice it is to be one of the regular guys asking a legitimate question of “The One” when pulled out of line randomly by The One himself. Of course we all know that means it’s time to take a page from Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez to try and destroy the guy. Which is exactly what team Obama and his pals in the mainstream media are trying to do.

This is the same strategy they did with Sarah Palin and really the same strategy they use whenever anyone doesn’t back the one without question.

Barack Hussein Obama: you’re a racist.
Expose his socialist policies: background check, racist, tax evader, same last name as a member of the Keating five.
Question him about Reverend Jeremiah Wright: racist again, just a church, racist, all of you, God Damn Amerikka, racist, white.
Mention Bill Ayers: duck, lie and then revert to calling you an angry mob before calling you racist one more time. Cunt.

See a pattern yet?

Take a good look, because this is what life is like in the Democrat’s twisted world where no one dare speak truth to power. Challenge them at your own risk.

Note that the Obama campaign can’t even get it right. Joe the plumber never said he made $250,000 a year, he said he wanted to make that much. Watch the video as Mr. elite mocks him and put yourself in Joe the Plumber’s place.

The Associated Press thinks it has a scoop.

HOLLAND, Ohio - Joe the Plumber’s story sprang a few leaks Thursday. Turns out that the man who was held up by John McCain as the typical, hard-working American taxpayer isn’t really a licensed plumber. And court documents show he owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes.

Of course the obvious note here is that someone went on a personal vendetta and did this sort of background check on Joe the Plumber. Didn’t take long. Strange how it happened in Ohio. I know it is a matter of public record but I don’t think the lien just showed up out of nowhere.

Also note that perhaps Joe the Plumber does have a tax lien. Compare the normal guy’s taxes owed to the fraudulent ones of Charlie Rangel, Democrat, who hid $75,000 in Dominican Republic properties and quickly paid $10,800 in back taxes to the IRS. Not much worrying going on there, when a lawmaker that has plenty of means rips off the government.

What about that $100,000 stash of dough that William Jefferson, Democrat, had shoved in his fridge. Did he pay taxrs on that money? Did he move it around all at once or in $9,000 increments to avoid detection? Funny those dems, picking on Joe and not caring about their own.

Who knows why Joe the plumber is behind in taxes. Kind of bolsters his case in my eyes.

Also, didja ever notice how the dopes in the media, the Associated Press, Jonathan Martin and Ben Smith at The Politico and all the other asses in the MSM couldn’t really find time to vet Barack Obama’s shady past but they suddenly have all this time to do a background check on Joe the Plumber?

As always, Ed Morrisey puts a beautiful perspective on the event.

Now, we have people crawling over his tax records, his voter registration, his professional licensing, and whatever else they can find in the public record. Someone has linked him to the long-deceased Charles Keating, suggesting that somehow Obama managed to pick a McCain plant out of a ropeline full of people by accident. How much longer before a certain blogger at The Atlantic demands a paternity test to see if Joe the Plumber fathered Sarah Palin’s baby — or Bristol’s, for that matter?

There is a stench of desperation surrounding this, as if they sense defeat coming from a moment of honesty from Obama about his real intentions to institute a regime of redistribution. They want to discredit the man who only asked the question as if he’s some political operative who magically forced Obama to sound … well, a little like a Marxist. Why? They want to distract people from Obama’s answer by sliming the man Obama picked at random to ask a question.

I actually like it when this sort of thing happens because it exposes the left for what they are. Thanks to the internet we can see the public persecution of Joe the Plumber in real time. It’s ugly.

This would make a perfect ad for the McCain campaign.
