Just a few days ago, poor Joe Wurzelbacher was an anonymous, middle-class workingman who aspired to buy the plumbing company for which he's worked for the past six years.
But then he drew from Barack Obama the startling admission that the Democratic presidential candidate wants to raise taxes so he can "spread the wealth around."
And when John McCain reminded the nation of Obama's confession time after time during Wednesday night's debate, Democrats simply could not let Joe the Plumber go unpunished.
Yesterday, Wurzelbacher not only found himself under vicious personal attack from the far-left crazies in the blogosphere, he also had to endure uninformed insults from Obama's running-mate, Sen. Joe Biden - who essentially portrayed Joe the Plumber as a greed-crazed plutocrat.
"I don't have any Joe the Plumbers in my neighborhood who make $250,000 a year and are worried," he said.
No doubt - given that homes go for $1 million and more in Biden's tony Delaware nabe.
Anyway, the self-described man of the people has his facts all wrong.
Again.
Joe the Plumber doesn't "make $250,000 a year," as Biden charged.
And he never claimed to.
As he told Obama, what he wants to do is buy a multi-employee company whose annual income is $250,000 to $280,000; Wurzelbacher's take would be considerably less.
In fact, Joe the Plumber made all of $40,000 in 2006.
We know this, because newspapers, TV networks and bloggers have been chasing public records to find out every scrap of info possible in order to discredit poor Joe.

Featured entry: Communism
The enemy of CAPITALISM and now nearly extinct. Invented by KARL MARX, who predicted that feudalism and capitalism would be succeeded by the dictatorship of the proletariat, during which the state would wither away and economic life would be organised to achieve from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. The Soviet Union was the most prominent attempt to put communism into practice and the result was conspicuous failure, although some modern followers of Marx reckon that the Soviets missed the point.
ROFLMAO!!

get the voters to understand that the rich, the declared enemy of Democratic Party tax policy, are, functionally, EMPLOYERS, and that taking from them simply raises the prices of goods and services, CREATES unemployment and stifles future jobs.

This episode really exposes the hypocrisy and elitism of the left. People such as David Gergen referring to Joe as the “fake” plumber and other insults demonstrate the contempt they hold for those who did not attend the “proper” universities and subscribe to the “correct” philosophy.
This will be the undoing of the Obama campaign. He will be stumbling around for the next couple of weeks but won’t be able to stop the hemorrhaging.
Yeah, the DNC used to be for the little guy. Now they are for destroying him if he exposes their communist ideals.
PRay for W, McCuda and Our Troops
Odd how liberals can "take off the gloves" when it comes to beating up on a real working person. All that gushy liberal concern just flys out the window ...
This theme needs to go big very fast. I’M WITH JOE!
Freepers need to spread the word in every place there is a MAC or BO raly.
Purchase plungers and make signs in this theme to take to the rallies.
We are all plumbers now that need to unclog the system from impending over-taxation (Socialism) and the legalized theft of our hard earned income.
Call to MAC/Palin campaigns and organize people to go with you.
If you are going to bring a plunger, remember that you cant bring the stick part into a rally. So if you are staying outside a BO rally, thats fine. If you are headed into the rally, you need to replace the stick with rolled corrogated paper carried separately until youre in the rally.
This theme needs to be the universal cry against Socialism and carries the implicit message of unclogging the waste from the system.
A dozen guys with plungers just freeped a BO rally in VA!
Support Joe, the first average Joe to stand up to the tyranny of neo-Marxism!
Bonus: We can shout his middle name, “JOE” outloud without fear of taking a lead pipe to the knees! Try and escape the wrath of the Left if you are bold enough to utter.......barack HUSSEIN obama.
Thinking of going to a Freeway Overpass and holding up a Plumbers Helper and a Flush Congress sign.
Pray for W, McCain/Palin and Our Troops
GO FOR IT!
I’m looking to buy stock in a plunger manufacturing Company!
“Liberals” are 3/4 mind-numbed robots ready to do the bidding of their current “charismatic” leader, regardless of principle, ethics, honesty, or most certainly, morals. The other 1/4 are ruthless crooks.
Thinking of getting a plunger and using an antenna magnet to stick it to the car roof, like a siren
I saw that guy on O’Reilly — what an idiot! So Joe’s to be punished because of Obama’s mistaken pronouncement of truth? I’m SURE that the press contacted Joe — it wasn’t all one sided.
This is truly unbelievable — and a sign of things to come. People need to wake up — and I think Joe is helping with the wake up call. Essentially, he represents a “two for the price of one” message:
Obama is a Socialist (Communist) and wants to spread OUR/YOUR wealth around to the folks “coming up”
Obama will limit/stop freedom of speech — you cannot question him or what he does — or you’ll be smeared.
