Joe was real; this doctor's not. (Democrats lied???)
The Augusta GA Chronicle ^ | 8/14/09 | unknown

Posted on 08/14/2009 6:42:01 AM PDT by Bulldawg Fan

Will media that savaged Joe the plumber now go after the fake doctor?

When regular citizen "Joe the Plumber" asked an innocent, heartfelt, but challenging question of presidential candidate Barack Obama last year, he ended up getting skewered by the "mainstream" media. Every detail of his past was looked at for possible motives and nefarious associations.

Democratic state officials in Ohio even thumbed through his records illegally to find dirt on him.

That somehow doesn't happen with liberals.

A woman at Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee's town hall meeting in Texas recently claimed to be a pediatrician and stood up to support Jackson-Lee and Obamacare. She even got a hug from the congresswoman, which the Houston Chronicle featured prominently.

One big problem. Well, several, really.

Turns out the woman isn't a doctor after all. Reports indicate she's a graduate social work student who just happens to be enrolled at the same university where Jackson-Lee's husband is vice president for Student Affairs.

In addition, the woman is said to be an Obama organizer who, by the way, seems not to be a constituent of Jackson-Lee's.

Democrats have cynically and hurtfully accused passionate Americans at town halls as being stooges of special interest and such. In truth, Democrats have been the ones sending people to the meetings.

We asked Augusta-area Congressman Paul Broun's office if they'd seen any signs of Obamacare opponents who were tools of special interests. No, they told us -- but they've seen suspicious signs of Democratic manipulation: One day after Democratic officials called to confirm Congressman Broun's contact information, proponents of reform started calling and showing up at the office.

If any of them claimed to be a doctor, we hope Broun's office double-checked it.

A lying Democrat? Who would have ever thought such a thing possible? The Augusta Chronicle is one of the truely conservative newspapers in Georgia that can be counted on to go after liberals with the truth. I hope they keep up the good work.

Obama to use FAKE "Doctors" and criminal illegal aliens posing as health care professionals.

"Patterico Busts TX Grad Student/Obama Delegate Posing As Doctor; Chron Doesn't Credit, Still Disclosure-Challenged
Ms. Mayer, who claimed to be a doctor when she spoke at a town hall meeting held by Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
... At first, the Houston Chronicle took Mayer's word that she is a doctor, failed to investigate her bona fides"


"Obama camp plants fake doc, Che fan at Jackson Lee forum
One supporter, Dr. Roxana Mayer, a physician who does not live in Jackson Lee’s district, praised the reform plan for overhauling a broken system.
“I don’t know what there is in the bill that creates such panic,” she said.
In this video, Mayer claims to be a general practitioner, eliciting applause and even a hug from Queen Sheila:
.... Roxana Mayer is, like, totally not a doctor.
... her name does not appear in the database maintained by the Texas Medical Board, which licenses all doctors in Texas.
But she is an Obama campaign volunteer."

It's like Ann Coulter says, “Liberals always accuse the other side of doing exactly what they're doing.”

I like the article but it was NOT the question; it was 0bama’s answer that was embarrassing and unintentionally revealing.

If Joe had asked a rough question I could see a bit of the “how dare he ask THAT!” venom from the left directed at him (not justify it, but at least see the motivation); but this was a case of ‘shooting the messenger’. Joe didn't tell 0bama to use the phrase ‘spread the wealth around’ and had no control over just how far 0bama was going to shove his own foot into his mouth.

It also turns out that the reporter covering this story KNEW the woman was an Obama organizer & didn't identify her as such.

Also turns out same reporter was NOT SURE if she really was a doctor, but did identify her as such.

The media shapes the facts to create the "news".

By the way, the ‘Joe the Plummer’ thing began when obama showed up on JOE’S DOORSTEP.

Joe was at home, minding his OWN business - NOT out at an obama event.

Where's all the media with LIAR plastered in big bold letters across their front page? The BIAS is so sicking.

Saw Joe on TV one day and a “close relative” said “I hate Joe the plumber.”

I responded “All he was doing was minding his own business in his own drive way when Obama came up trying to get a photo op. It was Obama who was stupid enough to say ‘spread the wealth around’”. My friend didn’t say anything. They never say anything when they’re wrong. They just look off into space. It’s like the truth short circuits their system.
