Rudy Giuliani suggests Obama campaign illegally accessed Joe Wurzelbacher's records.

McCain Campaign Insinuates Joe the Plumber's Private Records Were Illegally Breached as "Political Retribution" by the Obama Campaign, Compares it to Watergate

The Columbus Dispatch reports that "state and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about 'Joe the Plumber,'" the nickname of Joe Wurzelbacher.

My article was about Palin’s supposed funny stuff in the bid process for her pipeline.

"What sane voter could possibly want to allow the Obamessiah’s team and all of his corrupt and criminal Chicago cronies to control much of the US govt.????"

How that bat eared little turd got as far as he did escapes me. I guess PT Barnum had it right.

[kcvl]

When a reporter asked if there was any evidence that these records were breached by anyone with a political agenda, Giuliani said, “If this were someone on the Republican side you would not be asking the question.” He said the inspector general needed to get to the bottom of why the information was sought.

“To be a Republican you have to believe that working in the same building as an aging 60’s radical, is a huge deal”—phil

“Brief summary: Joe Wurzelback (no not “Joe the plumber”, that name is a McCain invention), Joe asked Obama a question, Obama responds nicely.” phil

“Once again, Joe the unlicensed Plumber was planted in his yard playing catch with his son for the first time ever (just ask his neighbors). The Republican party knew that Barack Obama was going to be campaigning there, and they got Joe the unlicensed Plumber to ask that specific question. he was probably promised alot of goodies if McCain wins the election. Anyway, what is wrong with the rich spreading the wealth, most of them got it by stealing from us (the middle class)anyway. Go OBAMA/BIDEN 08” decided 08

gasp** ABCNEWS putting this story frontpage 3 am on sunday morning...i'll take that for what its worth

[realcleanguy]

Yeah, but BO isn’t even in the White House yet, and he’s already doing this

[timestax]

[ApplegateRanch]

Obama? Nah. Maybe some unaffiliated, over zealous supporters.

Oh, wait...Joe?

Joe Wurzelbacher?

Joe... isn’t he a ...plumber?

I want the tapes! The TAPES! Do you hear me? I want ALL the tapes, INCLUDING the missing 20 minutes!

I want that B*****d NAILED! I don’t care HOW long he tries to stonewall, GET HIM!

[CanadianMusherinMI]

on another thread they had a link to DU and they have a special email to snitch on any peeps or websites smearing “the ones” name. smear@truthfightsback.com (”Report a smear here, and make sure you put down all the information asked for. This will help us keep track of all the smear operations across the country!”_) they even ask for the FULL text of a email where the smear is present. would this not give them info into who sent the email? funny, but what obama finds smearing is truth. scary times.

[spodefly]

Just imagine the Gerstapo/Stasi/KGB crap Obama and his devoted minions will assemble if they are in power.

God help you if you get on the wrong side of anyone in that power structure, because they will do anything, absolutely anything, to ruin you.

[basalt]

im gotta feeling this story is goin somewhere. This wasn’t no Kos Kid snoopin around. 3 different government agency”s computers hacked??...i dont think so. Toledo police department...and then 300 miles away in Columbus?? HMMM....somethin smells rotten in Denmark.

[MarkL]

Why wouldn't they... Look at how Schumer's minions illegally accessed Michael Steele's credit report, and probably other government information, in order to try to dig up dirt on the man.

IIRC, nothing was ever done about it, other than a slap on the wrist, and Schumer walked away from it, and survived to slime others again and again.

Chuck Schumer: The man reminds me of a cross between a used car salesman and a mob lawyer, without the integrity or fashion sense of either.

My lovely was home with her family this week. They are big Obama supporters. She asked them why they are supporting Obama? They gave her the standard “hope and change” lines. She asked them about Joe and Obama’s response. They had no clue what she was talking about.

So they settled in to watch TV. First show they put on? Gwen Ifill. Then they watched CNN and MSNBC the rest of the evening.

This is why people are useful idiots of the left.

“Control the information and you control the people”

[JudgemAll]

I can’t believe “hope and change” bs campaign works at all. People want real practical solutions to their problems, yet they accept this fluff garbage from Obama.

People act like a bunch of spoiled college kids who don’t have to work. Our system is too successful and too idiot proof... courtesy of trial lawyers and unions, I suppose.

The IRS remains in control of the DNC. Thank you, Pres. Bush.

[tobyhill]

Obama will be able to throw them under the bus and get by with it. He'll just claim it was some rogue DMV worker who just happens to wear their Obama T-Shirt to work and yells at coworkers if they say anything about their refusal to issue license to anyone who looks like they might support McCain (a white person).

[70th Division]

Profound response. I was watching a crime show that did just that. The defendant was a murderer and arrogant. For the cross the prosecution team put up Jewish lawyer who the defendant hated. The lawyer hammered away and the defendant just EXPLODED! Basically convicting him self on the stand.(When polled that is exactly what the jury said?

[McGruff]

Bumping for those who may not have seen this. FNC get on this story.

[mewzilla]

I'm old enough to remember Watergate.

And NYS's recent Troopergate scandal, unreported but not forgotten, also springs to mind.

Not to mention all the dirty tricks the Toons have employed.

The 'Rats have become what they profess to hate.

Tricky Dick, eat yer heart out.

[wack-m and stack-m]

[tomnbeverly]

I would call for a special prosecuter... maybe Fitz can stop worrying so much over Plame and get the true facts on Joe the Plumber.

Tax records are never public information. Who in the Obama camp did the dirty work?
