Joe the Plumber case still dripping

The election is over, but the Joe the Plumber case is not.
Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles said his office is now looking at a half-dozen agencies that accessed state records on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.
The Beacon Journal has learned that, in addition to the Department of Job and Family Services, two other state offices — the Ohio Department of Taxation and Ohio Attorney General Nancy Rogers — conducted database searches of Joe the Plumber.
Wurzelbacher became an instant celebrity after he asked Barack Obama a series of questions in his Toledo driveway about the Democrat's tax policies.
In the third debate between Obama and Republican John McCain on Oct. 15, the candidates referred to Joe the Plumber more than 20 times.
The next day, the taxation department conducted two separate searches of a database of liens for unpaid taxes that were certified to the Ohio Attorney General's Office for collection.
John Kohlstrand, a taxation department spokesman, said he is prohibited from talking about individual taxpayers, but he confirmed that the databases were checked.
The searches were done to determine whether a lien placed against the individual was appropriate and whether it remained unpaid or not, Kohlstrand said.

Plumber Joe has become the new version of government’s ‘person of interest.’
Is that you ringing my door bell...
Another little tidbit about the one. Remember when Obama said that it was not true that he started his political career in Ayers house, guess what Ayers confirmed it, but said he went to other houses too.
The reason for the demise of the FR Gun Club threads.
If that would happen to you, run, don't walk to every TV, radio station, newspaper and internet site you know of and get the word out.
Go to your state Attorney General.
Get a civil rights lawyer.
Don't take it lying down.
What? Park bench addresses?
No, but I think I know who's doing it.
I have always posted under my own name, and all I ask of the Obama filth is that they do me the honor of putting me first on the list of right-wing troublemakers that need to be dealt with.

I can’t believe you would bring up those measly 900+ FBI files. Don’t you remember, no one remembered hiring Craig Livingstone so they don’t count.
We can hope Jim regularly dumps or encrypts his logs. But that wouldn't keep Obama's minions from strong-arming the ISP to record what happens at the router.
It’s Not The Crime
It’s The Cover Up
Yet the 'Rats have the gall to claim that they are the party that supports civil liberties!!!
Seems as if they are only interested in inventing constitutional rights for alien terrorists, but don't give a darn for the rights of American citizens, especially white male Republicans.
Joe the Plumber should be filing suit against these Ohio bureaucrats in federal court for violation of his federal constitutional rights.
Ship him off to the Gulag! He dared to embarrass the Messiah.
A heart attack, brought on by being blamed for the Olympic Park bombing, harassed by the feds and the media then being exonerated with no apology.
From Wikipedia:
Richard Jewell's hunting rifles were confiscated and never returned, having been presumably sold.[citation needed] His mother's family photographs and Tupperware collection were taken as "evidence" and returned vandalized.[citation needed] Two of the bombing victims filed lawsuits against Jewell on the basis of this reporting. In a reference to the Unabomber, Jay Leno called him the "Una-doofus".[5] Other references include "Una-Bubba," [6] and (of his mother) "Una-Mama." Jewell was never officially charged, but the FBI searched his home, questioned his associates, investigated his background, and maintained twenty-four hour surveillance of him. The pressure only began to ease after Jewell's attorneys hired an ex-FBI agent to administer a polygraph, that Jewell reportedly passed. [4] In October 1996, the investigating US Attorney, Kent Alexander, in an extremely unusual move, sent Jewell a letter formally clearing him, stating "based on the evidence developed to date ... Richard Jewell is not considered a target of the federal criminal investigation into the bombing on July 27, 1996, at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta".[7]
What my mother used to call “a crying shame”!
Also sounds like Hitlers SA, which is similar to what Obama has said he wants to do. Create a civilian force rivaling that of the Armed Forces. Of course, he didn’t say what that force would do and under who’s orders.
