We’re going to know a lot more about Joe than we do about Bill Ayers before all this is over.
But make no mistake this is a deliberate smear and the old Saul Alinsky tactic of “otherizing” someone.
In my mind, Joe is being brownshirted by thugs.
This looks like a communist country when you have someone criticize a government official and embarrass them and then they get demonized by the media.
It's also the result of decades of an educational system based on seething resentment and a sense of entitlement. People like Joe, who want to achieve something and not be just one of the pack, violate all that the left has tried to inculcate in the American mind since the 1960s. And now the left is whipping up this resentment so that Joe is regarded as virtually symbolic of evil, the worst evil of all: individualism.
I think Joe was incredibly brave to have spoken out in the first place, because he must have known that Obama's media lackeys were going to go after him. And individual courage is another affront to Obama's Newthink.
