Enraged leftwing blogosphere erupts against Joe the plumber

[Joker85]

Thought crime cyberbots in a frenzy.

Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) seems to have committed a Thought Crime in the eyes of the leftwing Blogosphere by daring to question the Lightworker. As a result, and because his name was brought up several times by John McCain at the debate last night, Joe the Plumber has been the subject of a lot of rage at both the Democratic Underground and the Daily Kos. The title of the DU thread alone tells you just how angry the left is: "Hey, Joe 'The Dumbass' Plumber. Listen up!" And the Daily Kos thread is flat out incorrect: "'Joe the Plumber'" Not a Registered Voter." Sorry, Kossacks, but Joe the Plumber is registered to vote. He just prefers to use his middle name but you were too eager to smear him to consider that fact when poring through the Ohio voting records. Here is a sampling of leftwing anger directed at Joe the Plumber starting with the Democratic Underground:

So, Joe the Plumber. If you are too damned stupid to understand how Obama benefits you much more than McCain, then throw the American dream away and vote for McCain.

Sorry, I know this is stereotyping but he looks jackbootish to me...

Have we found out yet that McCain paid this goof to ask Obama about his taxes? If so, I missed it so far. If not, I would not be surprised if we hear about that shortly.

Joe the Plumber was a republican plant. OBVIOUS. Cameras ready. Gotcha moment. Then use in debate. Toss "joe" (wow, another Joe, how curious) on the day after morning shows. Nearly perfect ....... but too obvious. Joe listens to way too much talk radio. Too many rw talking points.

Not to be outdone by the Democratic Underground in the Insane Rage department, the Daily Kos hurls accusations against Joe, including the incorrect charge that he's not registered to vote:

"Joe the Plumber" Not a Registered Voter

Now, I realize that this has not been varified, but if this is true, and the MSM picks up on it, I honestly think that this may have damaging affects. McCain kept bringing him up, adding a new rule to drinking games. He is a household name now and then we find out he can't even vote.

If this is he, he is a registered voter...found a Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher in Holland, Ohio (near Toledo) on Lexis. He registered in 2002 as party affiliation "none declared."

Oops! Well, so much for that charge but that doesn't stop the Kossacks from hurling yet more invective Joe's way:

"The IRS, the FBI, and the FTC should be checking into this guy.

This guy Joe may regret his 15 minutes of fame. Most of us have skeletons in the closet. Does he really want his revealed? "

You can read even more leftwing rage over Joe the Plumber for challenging the liberal assumptions of Barack Obama at the DUmmie FUnnies.

A preview of what the bots have in store for anyone who questions their messiah under an administration? Truly frightening what these whackos are up to.

Oddly enough, we've already seen a few of those now debunked myths creep their way into these very boards. Straight from the dailykooks imagination right into the pit I guess.

joe is just being human. being selfish is human, greed is human, nothing wrong with that. the main reason why a direct democracy doesn't work. plus, the guy is very decent, he doesn't disclose who he is voting for. even though it is obvious, that makes him very likable.

[danzig]

Sorry it isnt allowed to question the Messiah or to possibly make him look bad whether its Joe the Plumber nonsense or signs in a heavy Democratic county (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...101465_pf.html) or his avenging angel Joe Biden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq-eeWow_WU)

Now let us all pray to the lord, our saviour Obama.

[bigfootedfred]

I find this all so amazing.

i understand why people want to believe obama will be different and he will stop the the rot dead in its tracks.

But hes paid for and owned by the same people as the other guy.
Its all just a big reality TV show..

You're surprised people say crazy things on the internet? It happens all the time, even your precious Republicans engage in it from time to time.

No not surprised, disgusted. But we have come to expect this out of the left. Remember, these are the people that spread rumors that Sarah Palin's infant was not her own. There is no shame with these people. There is no level of the gutter they will not sink to. They hurl their filth at anyone that does not accept the messiah as their personal lord and savior.

No, it does not surprise me. In fact, I expected it. Caught as red handed as Obama was, there was nothing left for them to do but begin a massive personal assault against this man. As if they can somehow destroy him, then Obama didn't really say he wants to spread the wealth, or that he doesn't really have policies that would punish success and reward mediocrity. They hate Joe the plumber because he exposed the truth behind mister empty suit "hope, change, yes we can". They understand that a candidate running to redistribute the wealth will not win in this country. They were hoping to save all that until after the election when it was too late. How ironic is it that Joe the Plumber has been more vetted in the past 24 hours than a man running for President? Do we still have Obama's original birth certificate? Will the media spend a fraction of the time reporting on Obama's connections to terrorists and marxists that they did reporting on Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter? I think we all know the answer to that.

It's just rather embarrassing that the best they could come up with were myths that could easily be put down (he is not a plumber, he is not registered to vote etc).

Will they report on his connections to the mongols?

Oh puh-lease... The left has a bunch of bloggers, while the right has a whole TV network dedicated to disgusting, unfounded attacks on the left.

This thread is a sad joke.

'Puh-lease' reminds me of something from eons past, 'Puh-c', and/or Po-lease'.

Afraid I haven't! So the reference is completely wasted on me I'm afraid. Sorry I couldn't be a better audience. XD

Amen!

I don't think it matters if joe the plumbers life is the same as he presented, whats important is that the situation itself is not alien to the united states. We must acknowledge the flaws in Obama's plans. He is penalizing many people who own small businesses, and have only just made it there. We also have to realize that it is flawed in the sense that, in areas of America, 250k a year cant even be considered 'rich' by anyone.

Yes, but to some of our left leaning friends, it's far more important to talk about whether Joe is his middle name or first name rather than weather "spread the wealth" is a sound economic policy that does not discourage success.

Well its a real level of nitpicking to say he isnt what he says he was, I mean he works for a plumbing company and doesnt need licenses for what he does and wants to one day own a company. Anyway you are right regardless any attempt to focus on "joe the plumber" ignores the point of what he said. I mean Im glad to know in Obama's world I am "rich" but sadly I dont feel very rich here in NYC where 250k might sound like alot but somehow ends up disappearing rather quick.

[Kiljan Arslan]

actually it dose scar face means all he was doing was being a political operative. Sometinhg i hate.

And is the topic and worries not valid? And if his points are without legitimacy, Obama should have no trouble shooting it down, should he not?.

Pardon?
