NEW YORK – "Joe the Plumber" is lashing out at the media for analyzing his personal life since he suddenly became a focal point of the presidential race last week.

“You know, when you can’t ask a question of your leaders anymore, that gets scary,” he said.

[kimchi lover]

He’s absolutely right! It IS scary!

[Abby4116]

And I hope that this makes people think .... I may be next.

[MrChips]

Please God. PLEASE allow McCain to appear with Joe the plumber today! Amen!

[righting-wrongs]

The treatment this guy has been getting speaks volumes about the OBomb-US campaign.

[lookout88]

We are next.

He should strike back after the MSM and Barack Hussein attacked him. Do we want a Fascist regime in the Whitehouse.

Wurzelbacher became famous after he met Obama No, he's not famous. He become well-known after McCain defended him.

We're facing a thugocracy if Obama wins; he and his supporters are intolerant of dissent even as they claim to support diversity.

You are next. And so am I. And so is any drone who dares to question motives of the Collective.

What the left and the media have put this ordinary American through should be a wake-up call to all. It is beyond an outrage and we should speak up for him. And we do that by putting an end to ALL the demonRAT careers that are supportive of this abuse.

This morning a very big preacher mentioned “them coming after him” in a generic way. But he wasn’t generic when he said the koran is not rightious and muslims aren’t the way to heaven. I wouldn’t be surprised if “they” come after him this week. And that IS scary!

[Eagle Eye]

They are counting on that.

[WyCoKsRepublican]

God Bless this man who speaks what so many of us think and feel!

[relictele]

Don’t worry Joe - the Obama administration will outlaw fear. They will also outlaw questions.

[DManA]

Stupid article has nothing to do with the headline.

[jveritas]

Very scary. This is America and not China or Cuba.

If McCain appears with Joe today, or even if he doesn’t, he has to point out that Jos represents Mr. Average American who aspires to lift himself up. He didn’t tell Obama he’s a businessman whose taxes would go up .. he said he was a plumber who hoped to become a businessman who, if his risk paid off, would be taxed (punished) for his success.

McCain should tell folks: If you, voter, don’t want a better life, the opportunity to risk your hard-earned money to buy a business in the hope of making good money and providing a better life for yourself and your family .. by all means, vote for my opponent.

But, if you are willing to work hard, make that investment and see your business succeed, under a McCain Administration we will see that you have that opportunity without being punished for your success.
