I watched Your World with Neil Cavuto this afternoon and he had a Dem congressman on (don't remember the name). The first thing out of this Congressman's mouth was that Joe the Plumber's first name wasn't actually Joe and that he didn't have a plumbers license. My jaw nearly dropped! So now I guess anyone who questions Barack Obama gets to be smeared?? And this coming from the party that is supposedly for working people??? Did anyone else see this?
OMG. Now CBS is reporting that Joe the Plumber has back taxes!! Good grief. These people have absolutely no shame.
Here’s a link: http://cbs13.com/campaign08/plumber.taxes.registered.2.842376.html
This is getting confusing, so I am creating a scorecard. Please let me know if I am missing something in the time line here.
- First Obama thought he was running agianst John McCain.
- Obama then became confused and thought he was running against George W. Bush.
- Obama then became even more confused and thought he was running against Sarah Palin.
- Obama forgot to take his medication and once again thought he was running against George W. Bush.
- Obama then consulted his Magic 8 Ball and realized that he has really been running against Joe The Plumber all along.
Am I pretty accurate, or have I forgotten some other mystery candidates that Obama believes he has been running against?
Let's go down the list:
Obviously, he's a Right-Wing Neo Nazi.
Questions? Questioning of the One is not permitted!
The more the LSM digs for dirt on this guy the more I like him!
Just like Rush has said, "You can place a sinking bag of excrement in the middle of a large empty room and demacRATs (and now the media) will come along and step in it!"
This would be great comedy if Nobama wasn't so scary!
I got it.
I like that graphic - can you put “Joe the Plumber” on the shirt of the man who has the gun pointed at his head???
Congressman Michael Capuano (Scumbag - Boston). He represents MA 8th district — Back Bay swells, Cambridge Lunatic Leftists, and Roxbury Homicidal Maniacs (murder capital of MA, peopled by Oppressed People of Color Who Are Simply Acting-out Justifiable Black Rage).
The Repubs better defend Joe from the RATS IMMEDIATELY or their smears will stick.
What maroons. In a lot of places, plumbers don’t need a license. The boss has one and it is his job to certify the work is up to code. Why don’t they learn something about a topic before they shoot their mouths off? Next they are going to tell us Joe uses (pipe) dope.
I have a friend who is a great plumber but doesn’t have a license.
Do journalists who get to ruin peoples’ lives have a license to do so?
We can all chip in.
Where do we send it?
Isn’t it amazing how fast they can vet Joe, but not obama?
It is full of falsehoods and unverified presumptions --as well as spelling and grammatical errors.
And to top it off, the anonymous staffer who wrote this piece of trash delivers his (or her) venom in the most gleeful and juvenile tone imaginable.
Broaden that a bit to include the "Media wing" of Team Democrat.
I don’t know, maybe someone can tell us.
Sorry if this is a dupe for you, but trying to spark things-—here’s an idea from another thread on holding Joe the Plumber bake sales:
The goal for what Im suggesting would be simply to publicize the Joe the Plumber message that Obamas tax plan will KILL SMALL BUSINESS.
The national publicity would come through earned media time, specifically by getting noticed at McCain/Palin events and discussed on talk radio. Bake sales tied to local events would be publicized the traditional ways.
Basic concept:
1. Hold the bake sale at a local event or at a McCain/Palin event/rally. (Use individually pre-packaged bake goods, such as from Costco, to avoid any permit problems.)
2. Do all the usual stuff to get coverage. And make it funwear Joe the Plumber t-shirts, signs, balloons, etc. At the event, seek out the press and offer them a freebie or a Joe the Plumber Bake Sale coupon. (JTP bake sale coupons would be a great way to hand out fliers for publicity as well, even to those streaming in to the venue for the rally-include a link to the vid of Obama saying spread the wealththis deserves millions of hits!) Do what it takes to get media coverage. The message is: Obama will raise your taxes!
3. Throughout take your own photos and video, including of interviews. Post generously to the internet and to local papers that have online tv channels. Send to talk radio. Try to call talk radio, especially to be on during the bake sale.
I guarantee if such bake sales were held outside McCain/Palin rallies (and all kinds of vendors are there selling buttons and so on), it would get a great response!
Joe the Plumber is very unifying theme for Republicans (because we are SOOO not into class warfare) and its also just fun and funny. And even a short take on it in the media helps get the word out.
Im sure the people who take to this idea and go for it will come up with really great stuff!
Given all the media’s dumpster-diving calumny directed at Joe the Plumber, wouldn’t it be fitting if all of us Joe the Plumbers were given the chance to support this courageous man via an anti-media-defamation fund operated under the auspices of a universally loved and widely heard talk-show host like Rush or Sean? I hope one of them will consider setting up (or publicizing a fund set up by someone else) a Joe the Plumber Appreciation Fund by which we common citizens can register both our support for Joe and our disgust with the debauched, Obamaphiliac media.
This just shows how out of touch Democrats are with the american dream.
They obfuscate sub chapter S profit pass thru.
They want to put a cieling on success.
This is the story about Joe the Plumber, Obama wants to cap and limit success in america to 200,000 dollars. (what happened to the other 50k?)
