Government computers used to find information on Joe the Plumber
Columbus dispatch ^ | Friday, October 24, 2008 8:57 PM | By Randy Ludlow

Posted on 10/24/2008 9:14:37 PM PDT by Perdogg

"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.

They won’t be government computers for very much longer. On 01-20-09 they will be OBAMA’S computers.

As Lincoln said, the great downfall for a skunk is the advertising it gives of itself.

I knew somebody who work for a Fed law enforcement agency and peeking at those computer files was strictly forbidden. Somebody needs to go to jail for this.

The Obamanation has to be tickled to death that Joe the Plumber was a white guy. Because that gives them carte blanche to trash him, investigate him, do whatever they want to demean and belittle him. Had he been black, a woman, or another ‘protected class’ they might actually have to deal with the consequences of Obama’s “spread the wealth around” answer rather than do their best to kill the messenger.

Fortunately, Joe’s a pretty tough messenger and gives back as good as he gets, and he’s already had a major impact on this election. After all, we have precedent for great things from common blue collar working guys - remember a carpenter about 2000 years ago?

Hopefully Joe will come out of this stronger than before, and that the experience will have changed his life for the better.

"It's outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama's allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question,"

Oui.

It's amazing that Marxist Obama isn't even "elected" yet, and he already has a Secret Police.

Where do I sign up for my uniform?

Oh wait a minute, silly me, I guess 'they' will come for us, won't 'they'?

Anyone have the lyrics to 'Obamaland the Beautiful'?  Don't want to be caught not signing.

Seriously, I tell anyone who will listen how afraid I am for America if we became an 'Obamanation'.

Oops 'signing' should be 'singing'.

But maybe I'm not far off.  Didn't people have to sign 'party loyalty' oaths in the good ol' USSR?

** Fortunately, Joe’s a pretty tough messenger ... **

And all he did was ask a civil, Simple Question.
Imagine the Scrutiny if he was a “Right Wing BLOGGER”... I think we need to see more of JOE before this Election

No surprise, this. The Left love accessing information they shouldn’t to smear perceived threats to their goals and domination. Ask Lynda Tripp about her personnel file or Michael Steele about his Social Security number.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

I hope Joe can sue these slimes for millions.

If we're among Ayer's 25 million, then yes they will...

"Hope" "Change" "Making it right" etc. at the exense of the lives and freedom of the productive folks who actually make this nation and its economy work.

BTW, vote! And tell others to as well.
