The Hill Street Blahg

Do you suppose when Joe The Plumber rolled out of bed in the morning, he had any idea he would be the next victim of the main street media’s scurrilous crusade of destruction? JTP has been scrutinized more in the last few days than Bill Ayers has in two years. Even the elitist snob Joe Biden entered the fray by claiming there were no plumbers living in his neighborhood earning $250,000 a year. Even the thug infested Plumbers Union in the jurisdiction where JTP works and lives entered the smear campaign.

Joe The Plumber now enters the proud ranks of those such as Clarence Thomas, Sarah Palin, and anyone else who exposes the left in this country for what they are. His alleged crime against liberalism was nothing more than wanting to pursue the American Dream of someday buying a company in hopes of someday earning $250,000 per year. Joe The Plumber should have known better than to step off the liberal plantation.

Here’s some of what Michelle Malkin had to say:

Then, suddenly, the journalists who wouldn’t lift a finger to investigate Barack Obama’s longtime relationships with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright sprang into action rifling through citizen Joe Wurzelbacher’s tax records. Politico.com reported breathlessly: “Samuel J. Wurzelbacher has a lien placed against him to the tune of $1,182.92. The lien is dated from January of ‘07.” Press outlets probed his divorce records. The local plumbers’ union, which has endorsed Obama, claimed he didn’t do their required apprenticeship work and didn’t have a license to work outside his local township.

Hang him!

After Wurzelbacher told Katie Couric that Obama’s rhetorical tap dance was “almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr.,” the inevitable cries of “bigotry” followed. (There are now tens of thousands of hits on the Internet for “Joe the Plumber racist.”)

Welcome to Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome. If you can’t beat him, smear him. It’s the Obama way.
