After Targeting Joe the Plumber, Obamabots Pledge To Expose Scandals of Guy in Rockwell's 'Four Freedoms' Painting

Thank God we live in a free country, where you can speak your mind on public issues, without fear that those who disagree will respond by exposing anything you've ever done that you regret or that could embarrass your family.

Oh, wait, never mind. We have to know, according to some, about Joe the Plumber's tax lien, and how he doesn't have a license - which, if the smear artists bothered to check the law, he only needs for commercial work, not residential work.

Were they really trying to screw Joe over telling the truth?

From Politico:

Joe not a licensed plumber, McCain's enthusiasm not diminished

***********************EXCERPT***********************

“I'm probably going to call him this morning," McCain said. "I thought he would probably be up late. I heard that his — that his phone lines were pretty well flooded. But I think we're going to be spending some time together.”

Liberals have assured me that the highest form of patriotism is dissent.

Did Joe The Plumber sell his back yard to Tony Rezko for $600,000?

See, when we look up the political contributions of the “Lifelong Republicans” who suddenly pledge allegiance to Obama, it’s called “stalking.”

But looking through Joe the Plumber’s trash is just “informing the public.’

My brother-in-law, a computer expert, is a polling station supervisor in a southern state, organizing and staffing the electronic voting machines. He shockingly informs me:

a. They CAN identify how any given individual voted from the voting machine tally

b. They CAN actually remove ballots already cast!

No offense, but Americans need to take a closer look at the Canadian voting system, and quick.

Some blogger should contrast some lefty quotes from 2004 about “speaking truth to power”, which was one of John Kerry’s favorite memes back then.

What these MORONS don't get is that it doesn't matter who the hell Joe the plumber is! It doesn't matter if he is satan in disguise!

What matters is that the stinking messiah got nailed on tape telling the world he wanted to "share the wealth"! There they go with the "change the topic" tactics again.

The same people screaming for Joe The Plumber’s license are perfectly fine with illegal immigrants doing the same job with no documentation whatsoever.

What does “commercial” mean? He was on ABC this A.M. and I think he said yesterday he fixed a main break for a business.

This is the way our opponents operate now. Destroy anyone who stands in your way. Humiliate them. Make sure that anyone else who ever wants to skeptically question Barack Obama knows that every last bit of their dirty laundry will be aired for all the world to see.

Marxism sucks.
