Enraged Leftwing Blogosphere Hurls Attacks Against Joe the Plumber

Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) seems to have committed a Thought Crime in the eyes of the leftwing Blogosphere by daring to question the Lightworker. As a result, and because his name was brought up several times by John McCain at the debate last night, Joe the Plumber has been the subject of a lot of rage at both the Democratic Underground and the Daily Kos. The title of the DU thread alone tells you just how angry the left is: "Hey, Joe 'The Dumbass' Plumber. Listen up!" And the Daily Kos thread is flat out incorrect: "'Joe the Plumber'" Not a Registered Voter." Sorry, Kossacks, but Joe the Plumber is registered to vote. He just prefers to use his middle name but you were too eager to smear him to consider that fact when poring through the Ohio voting records. Here is a sampling of leftwing anger directed at Joe the Plumber starting with the Democratic Underground:

So, Joe the Plumber. If you are too damned stupid to understand how Obama benefits you much more than McCain, then throw the American dream away and vote for McCain.

Sorry, I know this is stereotyping but he looks jackbootish to me...

Have we found out yet that McCain paid this goof to ask Obama about his taxes? If so, I missed it so far. If not, I would not be surprised if we hear about that shortly.

Joe the Plumber was a republican plant. OBVIOUS. Cameras ready. Gotcha moment. Then use in debate. Toss "joe" (wow, another Joe, how curious) on the day after morning shows. Nearly perfect ....... but too obvious. Joe listens to way too much talk radio. Too many rw talking points.

I think Joe the Plumber just tossed the One Ring into the flames of Liberal Mt. Doom.

PING!

[housedeep]

i am in shock at this narrative today that is developing around this man. you cant write this stuff in a novel.

Did I get in the first 10 for a change? Be right back to read the article.

LOL!

“My precious.”

[quesney]

These libs are live-action cartoons. Utterly predictable.

Sauron’s truth squads have been alerted.

Well it seems the right is now standing around diddling its thumbs or calling into talk radio and blubbering into a breakdown, but it needs to demand a rebuttal and then a counter attack.

We are the Left! We hate you working-class scum! You have no culture! You have no advanced degrees! How dare you involve yourself in politics?? When we rule over you, and deliver you into a Workers’ Paradise, then you will understand your proper place in society!

Here is an earlier thread this morning with a link where Joe the plumber took the drive by MSM to the tool shed.

Good news, we are still fine... In Soviet Union or other such places Joe would disappear overnight into a labor or re-education camp, or to work in the uranium mine depending on the mood of the thought police.

Bad news, we are full steam ahead on the track to become Soviet Union come November.

This fellow is certainly getting lots of press today, and every damn bit of it is great for McCain/Palin. Joementum for our side!

Of course the DUmmies hate Joe the Plumber, he represents the non- elitist, workers of America. They can’t stand people working to get ahead. Joe is the doom of 0bama’s bid for President Government. I was hoping it would be Ayers or Acorn that sealed his doom, but a win is a win.

Actually, Joe had zero gotcha questions.

It was OBAMA who stepped in it when he said "SPREAD THE WEALTH" (aka communism).

I have not made a single sign for this campaign, but now I will make one. "Obama says spread the wealth" by "Communists for Obama".

How long before the IRS finds a “discrepancy” on Mr. Wurzelbacher’s tax returns?

[Jeff Head]

So, because Joe the plumber was honest about the impact of the Obama plans from his perspective, and because he did not drink the Obama kool-aid, he is now the enemy.

So be it, it will reflect back on them just as their attacks on Sarah have done.

Just as Patrick Henry indicated, and the truth still holds today...if we will hold the course, God in Heaven will raise up friends to help fight these battles.

Sarah Palin is one such friend...now, out of obscurity, Joe the plumber is another.

All thanks to a merciuful God in Heaven!

The truth is that the left, the Obama campaign, the DNC, and the MSM will lie, fabricate, misquote, commit fruad, beg, borrow, or steal in their effort to slow down what is happening on the ground with the McCain campaign right now, and particularly with the likes of Joe and especially Sara Palin who is burrowing underneath all of their hype and drawing 25-30,000 people at a time to her rallies and getting the message of hope and conservative values out.

Obama and his ilk know it, they fear it, and they will do anything they can to stop it...including this fabricated story about reaction to Palin telling the truth about Obama and his militantly anti-American associations.

SARAH PALIN DRAWING HUGE CROWDS ALL ACROSS AMERICA

Let em go nuts it shows bad on them and will piss some hard working guys and gals off.

[rightwinggoth]

well at least joe will have no trouble finding work! (although he may have to give away all his earnings in the next few years).

[HanneyBean]

Obama’s “Precious”. We likes it. We wants it.
