The MSM is now investigating Joe's divorce!

[r9etb]

This is far beyond the pale. It would make a fine McCain ad.

"The media can do this kind of investigation on Joe the Plumber, but they can't do the same for Barack Obama? "

[Thane_Banquo]

I have said it before on this board, and I hope next election the GOP follows this idea, through 527s and surrogates:

Every media hack who smears a conservative, or the supporter of conservative, should be smeared. We need someone to do op-research on the likes of Chrissy, Olberman, etc, and when they start spreading a false smear about Sarah Palin or something, all of a sudden we find out one of them was busted for soliciting a prostitute, or drunk driving, etc. Turn the tables on the brownshirts.

[Mr. Brightside]

But Obama’s past remains uncovered?

WTH?

[silverleaf]

no- mention “death” and “hospital utility closet”
(as, for aborted but gasping fetuses)

and an Obama campaign worker will send the Secret Service over to investigate your threats against the messiah

Obama shows America his true colors with his statement to Joe the Plumber, “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”.

The bottom-feeding left-wing Obama lapdog media shows America their true colors with their disgusting investigation of Joe.

America is watching the left fully bared.

Joe may be what saves our nation from these socialists

[dforest]

Excellent idea!

[jeffrho]

Yep, it's what Stalinists do - crush anyone who dissents.

Welcome to Barack Hussein Obama's Amerika.

[Verginius Rufus]

I turned to CNN briefly last night (commercial break during the playoff game) and Anderson Cooper and his buddies were all trashing Joe the Plumber rather viciously—essentially calling him a fraud. The guests were the David Gergen, who used to pretend to be a Republican, the useless Ed Rollins, and a black Democrat whose name I don’t remember (a regular on that show).

[WellyP]

Bear bating is not a good idea! Watch out Dems! Joe is not really slick or smooth but communicates efcectivatly what he thinks and feels. I have doubt that he is a very hard fighter, on the brawling side. Joe is a lot tougher than Jack Ryan and Joe has a lot less to loose then Ryan had. I do not seeing Joe turning and running. If the Dems put Joe in a corner they may get their nuts crushed and their collective butts chewed off.

This is going to back fire on the MSM. Do they not realize that the average Joe is going to be pissed about what is happening to this average guy.
Joe expressed his opinion and now is getting bbq’d. The average person will see this as an Obama attack.

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONSERVATIVES NEED TO START FIGHTING BACK OR SEE YOUR COUNTRY BEING Hijacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Puddleglum]

Damned brownshirts.

[donnab]

It bears repeating here:
Alice Palmer was Obama’s first electoral opponent. His minions had her filing petition thrown out and she was pulled off the ballot. Obama would not have won against her. He ran unopposed for his first “elected” position.
Then there was Blair Hull who was the first of Obama’s opponents to face the opening of divorce decrees plus the rumor mill spreading that he was a wife beater. Hull pulled out of the race.
Jack Ryan was the third Obama opponent to be pulled off the ballot.
See a pattern? If you go against Obama you face personal destruction.

Welcome to the thuggocracy!

The Left wants to deliver a warning to anybody who might be tempted to embarrass the Obamessiah: screw with us, and we will make your life hell. It's not Joe, they want to intimidate into silence anybody who might be tempted to come forward in the last two weeks before the election.

They are very worried right now that the momentum may be turning against them.

[AD from SpringBay]

This makes me sick, and worried. This is exactly what is going to happen to anyone who dares speak against he-whose-full-name-must-never-be-uttered. This is how it starts but in four years this will be the status quo and the fear will grow. And each example will be treated more and more harshly. And, of course, Obama will be ‘above it all’. His surrogates will be to blame, but who will hold them accountable?

[mwl8787]

Fine ad for a 527 group.

Meantime, should we all kick in a few bucks and pay off this guy’s tax lien — what is it, $1,200? Would guarantee a story.

Win or lose in November, in his own way, Joe the Plumber has been an American hero — like John McCain.

When the MSM went in to investigate the lives of private citizens and crush them and intimidate others, they became the KGB, the secret police of the DNC.

There has been collusion between the media and the DNC on some news stories in recent years including Rathergate and Foleygate. They were going after politicians then; now it is private citizens who dare to get involved. Whether the MSM takes their orders from the DNC in investigating Joe W. and others, they serve the Democrat Party as a Master and see anyone who isn't voting Democrat as an enemy of the state.

Here is an old film (post WWII) on Despotism and cronyism. See how the modern Democrat controlled media ranks:

Despotism (1946) - Encyclopedia Britannica Films (www.archive.org has a number of public domain works for streaming and download view)

Measures how a society ranks on a spectrum stretching from democracy to despotism. Explains how societies and nations can be measured by the degree that power is concentrated and respect for the individual is restricted. Where does your community, state and nation stand on these scales?

[Interesting Times]

The mask is coming off the leftist media thugs... which may turn out to be a good thing.
