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.

The reason that they are so pissed is that they know that Bozo stepped in it and that Joe the Plumber has hurt Bozo big time.How dare he ask questions of the anointed one.

Here is what I find hilarious about the liberals BS on these two web sites. If Joe had a "gotcha" question then it stands to reason that saying "spreading the wealth" is not a good thing, therefore why would the liberals want it?

They blindly go along wanting communism without really understanding what it is they are actually heading for.

Some how these POS on Kos and DU think they will be the elite ruling class and that us down in the dirt conservatives will be the slave class.

Well here is the truth for you liberals that are lurking, you will be slaves too, you will not have it any better than we do. Your money will be taken away just like ours, you will be walking just like us, you will be starving just like us. Welcome to the real world of communism.

[calex59]

Well at least the Sham-wow is useful, nothing about Bozo’s policies are in the least useful to the average American, only to the political elite.

Pass this around if you like it.

LOl. I knew that. LOL. My typing s@cks!

AP is up to their usual tricks. They've got an article with the headline: "'Joe the Plumber' says he has no plumbing license".

Its all part of Alinsky's rules:

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Why debate on what Obama means by "spreading the wealth around", when you can personally attack the person who prompted Obama to say it?

[webrover]

I hear it's also all across the MSM. This could be a great source for an add pointing out exactly what Obama’s followers will do to anyone who speaks out. If it's this bad now,How much worse will it be when Obama can back up his thugs with guns? I think some adds about this need to go up...and soon. Of course, I'm only a newbie and therefore a troll in the eyes of some of the antients. so what do I know.

Way t6o go lefties- keep attacking the working class Americans- that’ll boost your campaign plenty- no really- Keep attackign the majority of Americans- Brilliant campaign maneuver [sarcasm]

[drubyfive]

I just couldn’t get over how much Obama reminded me of that cheesy ShamWow guy during last night’s debate.

Vince? I love Vince.

[webrover]

This message or something close needs to be broadcast by the McCain people. They need to know the danger we face. And Joe is the perfect example.

[Gloucester]

Very nice. Love it.

[Enchante]

Joe the Plumber has all kinds of experience dealing with scum, sludge, and sewage......

..... but I’ll bet he had no idea what a cesspool the left-wing blogosphere is!!

I’ll bet he’s never smelled anything quite this bad, even though as a plumber he must see some nasty messes.

[Gloucester]

Ha! Maybe Obama will hire Vince ShamWow to host his half-hour television extravaganza.

[A Strict Constructionist]

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

I personally see McCain as Frodo, the Conservative base as Sam, Palin as Aragorn and Obama as Smeagol. I think Sarumon is the liberal/marxist movement and Gandalf may be the spirit of the Founding Fathers.

I hope Sam and Aragorn can keep Frodo on the right track to destroying the ring and Sarumon, as Smeagol meets his reward in the Fire’s of Mount Doom. I guess if these assignments are correct then Wormtongue is a collective of the RINO’s in the Senate. Boramir and Faramir are different elements of the Conservative movement that don’t always act for the good of the Country and the Constitution.

I think this is one the best lust for power stories ever written

Any corrections on the character assignments would be welcomed? Assigning all the Characters would be interesting. I thought that Panys Graham would be Pippin or Mariadic but I don’t know if I would believe that he has that much loyalty in him.

OMG!!!!!

I love that Sham-Wow guy. He cracks me up. My kids like to imagine what would happen if he had children with that kooky girl in the Geico commercials.

Obama and the Sham-Wow guy. Definitely separated at birth!

[Donaeus]

GOD bless Joe the Plumber!!

AP is up to their usual tricks. They've got an article with the headline: "'Joe the Plumber' says he has no plumbing license".

Hey AP, wake me up when the sky falls.

[RogerWilko]

What's amazing is that it doesn't matter whether Joe the plumber was a plant or not. What matters is that NOBAMA got "caught" saying he wanted to "spread the wealth"!

That's THE POINT of the whole FRIGGIN' story!! MY GOD, these people are MORONS!!

Joe the plumber, or Joe Schmoe... O'BOZO got BUSTED and they're trying to find someone to vent their anger on!

[webrover]

You have a very effective way with words :)
