Joe the Plumber asks Barack a hard question and Barack says something controversial and Joe is investigated. Chris Matthew asks Michelle Bachman a tough question which she answers and Michelle Bachman is hammered. Why isn’t Chris Matthews being investigated for having the Audacity to ask a tough, loaded question?

Media Bias?? Me thinks so.

Keep up the good discussions.

In short, the truth about the Frost family was germane to the issue at hand.

In Joe the Plumber’s case, he asked a question of the One and the One, in an Unguarded Moment, let his left-wing socialist freak flag fly. Knowing whatever lurked in the background of Joe the Plumber was, and is, irrelevant. The issue was the question he asked and the answer the One gave.

And Bill O’Reilly was completely out of line to go after Shawn Hornbeck, but 1.) Bill O’Reilly is a complete blowhard and 2.) there was nothing political about it, it was just O’Reilly being an a-hole; not an entire media apparatus sent out to destroy a person.

Because, ND30, that is exactly what the DNC platform is all about – keeping their constituencies under their collective thumb and (in the parlance of some old Southerners): “keeping them in their place.”

In other words, the DNC doesn’t want any uppity blacks or other minorities to upset the apple cart. To them, they are the “house niggers.”

Why does the Democrat Party hate poor black people and insist that they should be taxed to pay for healthcare for wealthy whites with their own houses, businesses, and expensive cars?

Second, all he merely did was ask the question “will your plan tax me more?” The Snob, in his infinitestimal wisdom, let the mask slip and showed his Commie colors (red, I believe).

Then the DNC communications staff (aka the Drive-By Media) started a hatchet job when it came to the public’s attention that The Snob’s policy had (gasp!) been questioned by a commoner, who (if you believe the Snob’s sympathizers in North Korea, Cuba and China) should know better.

Unlike Graham Frost, who was a willing pawn in the national debate over health care and had his stage-parents push him forward, Joe the Plumber was, in fact, minding his own business – something the DNC believes should not be left to the public’s own devices. Steyn was right: if you send a boy to do a man’s job, you attack the boy. Joe is a man who was not sent to do anything at all.

Finally, if anything else is evident in this past week’s coverage, it is the fact that the Dhimmicrats do not – I repeat, DO NOT – care about the “average” American. They are now the party of elites – which is also evident in the SnObamas’ room service tab at the Waldorf Astoria. (Iranian caviar? Ugh. Nouveau riche, indeed.)

That is why the polls are tightening.
That is why The Snob’s lead has been cut by a third (check Zogby and Rasmussen if you don’t believe me).
That is why Ohio is now in play – as well as Florida, Pennsylvania and West Viriginia.

We are all Joe the Plumber. And we’ve had enough of the American-hating DNC.

Or how about Bill O’Rielly when he went after Shawn Hornbeck who had been kidnapped and molested for years? I am curious to know what does that say about the right? Was that character assassination or just politics. Joe is a grown man, these were children does that make it OK?

[Attack a 12-year-old? Hardly.

First, unlike Joe the Plumber who was approached by the "opposition," the Democrats put Frost forward. As Mark Steyn put it, "If a political party is desperate enough to send a boy to do a man’s job, then the boy is fair game." Not just that, pretty much all conservatives pointed out was that his family sent him to an expensive private school which is kind of relevant when he is backing a program which would give him more government money. Oh, and they looked into his family's real estate holding. That's not attacking him, but looking into the wealth of his family, the people who alerted their son to the DNC. If anyone should take a hit for making a kid a public figure in this case, it's the Democrats who brought him forward, not conservatives who made an issue of his family's finances. --Dan]

Liberalism is a religion and has more than its share of fundamentalist kooks.

#4: V, I don’t think Joe needs a license to perform residential plumbing work in Ohio. I wonder what some of these drive-bys would think about licensure for journalists. Or presidential candidates?

Rather than discussing – in a civil manner – the issues. Dan Blatt, Gay Patriot West, has the details. In “their rabid character assassination” as Ed Morrissey puts it, of Joe the Plumber, “a man who did nothing more than……

And, meanwhile we all know that Iraq can conduct a better election with less voter fraud than we can in the United States. I will forever remember those Iraqis that went to vote and put their thumb in an ink well, knowing that there those in Iraq might murder them for voting and having that inked thumb.
