I'm proud of my fellow Ohioan, Joe the Plumber.

... 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...

The liberals will do everything they can to silence their critics. Expect this to happen.

After the election, Gov. Ted Strickland placed Jones-Kelley on paid leave. The governor said the suspension was for a matter unrelated to the background checks on Joe the Plumber.

Just thought I would repeat the final paragraph of the article, since a lot of Ohioans bought in to the so called "culture of corruption" charges against Republicans back in 2006, that helped propel Strickland to the governorship. Well, Ohio, not only did you fail to end the "culture of corruption", you now have a "culture of Big Brother-ism" to go along with it...

John Kohlstrand, a taxation department spokesman, said he is prohibited from talking about individual taxpayers, but he confirmed that the databases were checked.

[snip]

Kohlstrand said that the AG's office wanted access to the records so they could turn over to the national media lien information that was a public record in Lucas County. He said the national media did not have reporters in Toledo, so the attorney general's office was helping them out with public records.

Anthony said the database searches on both days were conducted to ensure that the information in Lucas County was being properly reported by the media.

See, it was totally innocent. They just wanted to make sure that the information that they were illegally leaking to the press was accurate.

Just wait till the “National Civilian Defense Force” (Gestapo) gets going. We have not seen anything yet. God help our Country!

And liberals are afraid of the Patriot Act! They should be afraid of their own.

This is a big story. However, Joe is against Liberal agenda and therefore, not news worthy. This is just the beginning.

I see Fox News loosing it’s foot hold. We have a Liberal Govt elected by our Biased Media.

You mean she's done things WORSE than spying on a fellow citizen???

[Texas Eagle]

And the RATS spent all that time and effort trying to convince to fear The Patriot Act.

Wait till Ubama takes office. You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Some things that are known about a person may not always in the public record yet can still be widely publicized. Like if a tax department spokesman was outed as a secret gay, for example.

Incredible what public officials will do ,, under the guise of ‘it’s part of my job’ to snoop and check out someone who gets caught in up a media blitz thru no fault of their own, save having opened their mouth and exercised a God-given right to make some noise now and then..

hmmmm.. Yup, Incredible.

Here’s to Joe the Everyman in the 112th Congre$$ !!

[tomnbeverly]

I was so glad to hear that the ACLU finally stepped up to back Joe and investigate this sobering Political retribution done by the Democrats....

” In America, they came first for those that spoke out against Obama, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a vocal critic; And then they came for the Conservatives that spoke out against Obama’s radical policies, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Conservative.
And then they came for the Republicans that tried to stop foolish legislation authored by Obama, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Republican;
And then they came for the Gun owners, calling them bitter clingers, And I didn’t speak up because I didn’t own a gun; and then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”

[highlander_UW]

Wide spread Democrat party corruption and abuse of power...no surprises here.

[supremedoctrine]

Looking at that picture once again, I laugh as I try to envision Obama’s bony metrosexual fingers and hands tighten around a wrench to try to loosen or tighten anything. Except the noose around our necks, I mean.

[Upstate NY Guy]

The DemonRat loving lame steams had teams in Alaska turning over every moose turd trying to find dirt on Gov Palin. And this was within a few days of the VP announcement.

Then the DemonRat run agencies of Ohio used government computers to sniff out Ohio drainpipes and databases trying to detect a foul odor with Joe the plumber.

And yet in 24 months neither the media nor any state or federal agency has lifted a finger to do the crudest, most rudimentary background check on Obomie the Commie.

These DemonRat agency and media people are pathetic examples of human waste. They need to be brought down low.

[volslover]

What Ohio did to Joe the Plumber is uncalled for. Surely there is some sort of privacy violation or misuse of government property crime that someone can be charged with. Half dozen agencies-—someone needs to go to jail so this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.

Ping!

If Joe decides to run for office, I am sending him a little contribution.....
