Joe the Plumber vs. Kathy the Drag Queen Band Singer
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-11-10 | DrJohn

On October 12 of 2008 Barack Obama campaigned in “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher's neighborhood. Wurzelbacher asked Obama why he’d want to raise taxes at the time. Wurzelbacher subsequently became something of a Presidential campaign issue. In what seemed mere seconds the liberal press descended upon him like so many locusts. Within days we knew more about Joe the Plumber than we know about Barack Obama to this day.

Within three days later FactCheck.org had Joe fact checked.

Four days later PMSNBC proclaimed that Joe had no plumbing license.

That same day CNN was defending Obama’s tax proposals.

Joe took it in the chin from the media. They combed through his personal files. They protected Obama.

As Curt posted above, Palin approached a woman holding a sign which read “Worst Governor Ever” to ask her about the sign. The media reported it thusly:

Ben Adler:

Sarah Palin Gets Snarky on a Schoolteacher

Well, Palin's dark side came out in full effect this weekend, and this time the victim was not President Obama but a schoolteacher in small-town Alaska. Palin was there to film a segment of a nature program on TLC, and she confronted Kathleen Gustafson who was holding up a sign reading "WORST GOVERNOR EVER." Palin clearly intended to disarm Gustafson with her charm, but instead got defensive.

Andy Barr:

I wish Joe the plumber would have a press conference and tell them what a Loser RINO McLame was for using him like that

The intrusive illegal invasion of privacy is reserved for normal people. Leftist wackos are given a free pass. Everybody knows that.

Didn’t someone fact check the “teacher” and found out she was a music tech for the school.

Theater tech, actually. UI think that translates to “makeup artist.” Bottom line: when she claimed to be a teacher, she lied.

She also “works” as a backup singer for a drag queen band.

I remembered that the LSM/MSM tried to get Joe’s driver license suspended for something in Arizona ! These people will stop at nothing to ruin those who stand in the way of their agenda !

On Journolist, a place where 400 journalists and the DNC colluded on talking points, one writer said that conservatives need to have their faces smashed "not literally" as a warning to other conservatives who'd dare challenge their (socialist) agenda.

Looks like Politico's Andy Barr is trying to get his Journolist chops after the fact.

Barr has another Palin hitpiece posted today by a PDS Freeper:

Time to bring the sunshine to the crap that is going on !

One place I worked at and I had a far leftists manager. I found things sabotaged in my office, had vandalism done to personal effects in there as well as my car. But the thing, no witnesses either. We also had a Viet Nam vet run out based on technical violations of the rules that were trumped up.

One thing with these people, they stop at nothing and will use every means possible to silence their critics and opposition. Whether to use the strict enforcement of rules and regulations, attacks against persons or property to achieve their easy “victory” over everyone else.

That manager also used the technical aspects of the rules & regs to screw me on a pay increase due to a speeding ticket I got in Wisconsin. It was greater than $150 which means I had to notify the security office of the ticket. A “favored boy” got a DUI and no action whatsoever was taken !
