Ayers…Wright…Pfleger…Rezko…ACORN…Nothing to see here, move along, these arent the droids you are looking for…
Joe the Plumber…A menace to society, he must be vetted to extremes so the public can be fully informed of his evil, Bush loving, right wing agenda. How dare he even look at Obama. He is unwashed and unworthy of challenging the Messiah…
Doesn’t it blow your fucking mind? Sorry for the language but I’m so enraged by this entire process. People CRUCIFY Palin for a pregnant teenager, TRASH through this innocent man’s life who only had a question for Obama AND THEN!!! Make us the assholes for pointing out things like Wright, Ayers, ACORN etc…I’m stopping now… :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Any and all accusations of left wing bias in the media/entertainment industry can no longer be denied. The major of major media outlets, hollywood, etc. have been outright campaigning for the guy, without any shame, apologies, or regrets.
Even Saturday Night Live, always a liberal centerpiece, has gone so far as to make a separate Thursday night show immediate after NBC’s most popular show, that is focused on on political sketches. Mostly mocking McCain/Palin, it seems.
Smoke and mirrors. The reality we’re presented through the media, and actual reality, are so drastically different this year that it’s sickening – but perception becomes reality, and they’re stealing the election! Yet ironically if McCain were to win, he’ll be accused of stealing it!
I am hoping for some kind of backlash. The guy asked a very legit question, and now he’s being portrayed as a liar and fraud. I agree with Variable- it’s utter BS.
Remember guys, 1A is for the left only. Academics (especially the radicals), CAIR, Code Pink etc all enjoy 1A. People on the right? Not so much.
I think this is a valid point. However, to Leno’s credit, I think he is just in general less of a D-bag than letterman. I would venture to guess that Leno is voting for McCain regardless of what his front is on TV. Nothing other than perception of Leno as a man makes me believe that. I could be completely wrong.
I was going to make a similar observation, because Letterman really comes across as a colossal asshat. I generally don’t watch him but I have caught him being outright hostile (as opposed to going for the laughs) towards “us”. Leno seems to be more about just getting a laugh at whatever’s topical.
I would be interested to see a direct comparison of Letterman’s questions to Obama vs. to McCain, and the same with Leno, as I think it would be more telling.
““It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you – that they’ve got the chance at success too,” Obama told Wurzelbacher. “I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.””
Anyone who finds it incongruous that the mainstream press has expended more energy reporting the mothership of Sarah Palin’s baby and the background of Joe the plumber than they have exploring the past of Barak Obama is a racist and a wifebeater.
…and they also molest children.
…not the ones Obama supported legislation to kill, mind you, but you get the point.
Mr. Samuel Joseph “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher is a tool.
He volunteered to be a tool when he engaged Sen. Obama in front of the cameras. The Obama-Biden campaign, owing to Sen. Obama’s “spread the wealth” gaffe, wisely chose not to exploit the encounter.
Joe then inadvertently became a tool of McCain-Palin, when Sen. McCain chose to make him the fulcrum of his criticism of Sen. Obama’s tax plan during Wednesday’s debate.
RIF: It was outrageously rash (read “stupid”) of McCain-Palin to call attention to Mr. Wurzelbacher without thoroughly researching his background. The campaign wouldn’t have done so for Mr. Wurzelbacher’s sake, certainly, but it should’ve done more to protect Sen. McCain.
So the media were able to learn in an hour what McCain-Palin didn’t bother to look into. Everybody wants the media to dig up the truth about the candidates, and suddenly we want them to make an exception for a candidate’s tool?
It’s like finding out your best friend married a hooker, then blaming the beer.
The media will keep doing what they do. Since that was no secret to Mr. Wurzelbacher and McCain-Palin, that means that a) Mr. Wurzelbacher is still a tool, and b) the McCain-Palin campaign makes the Keystone Cops look like a synchronized-swimming team.
From my recollection Joe didn’t CHOOSE to do be or do anything other than a citizen asking a question about a candidates policies… Care to educate me on things I have obviously missed?
Sure. He could’ve gotten the same answer from Sen. Obama’s website, literature or myriad other sources, but he chose to do it in public, in front of cameras and microphones. I’m not saying he didn’t have the right to do so, but it wasn’t exactly a private moment, y’know?
We would’ve heard virtually nothing more about (or from) Mr. Wurzelbacher had Sen. McCain not made him a poster boy – which wasn’t Mr. Wurzelbacher’s fault, but the the sequence of events started with him.
Sorry but Joe is not a tool. Regardless of Joe’s past, legitimacy of being a plumber, or being a registered voter he asked a good question and got the answer that showed off one of BO’s true intentions. How anyone could be so daft as to call out Joe’s character only trying to disguise the fact that BO is not going to give us change that we want or need is beyond me. If the question is valid and the answer is legitimate it doesn’t matter who asked it and the Obamanation can’t deal with the consequences.
Well, the first thing that occurs to me is that if I owed the State of Ohio $1,800+ in back taxes, I wouldn’t step in front of the media and ask a presidential candidate how his tax policy would affect me. I’m just sayin’… :rolleyes:
Mr. Wurzelbacher’s character is what it is, and he’s responsible for it – I make no judgment. And again, we probably wouldn’t have heard a word about it if McCain-Palin had done its job.
He could’ve gotten the same answer from Sen. Obama’s website, literature or myriad other sources, but he chose to do it in public, in front of cameras and microphones. I’m not saying he didn’t have the right to do so, but it wasn’t exactly a private moment, y’know?
