In Obama's America, Blue Collar = Desperate and Poor (and Also Bitter, Clingy, and Racist)
Remind me again: Why is the media "vetting" a plumber who asked a question, rather than a Senator who answered it?

Insult, F'that, hog balls to the wall assault a blue collar working class guy trying to bootstrap himself up.
This coming from the Proclaimed One (DNC - "By Proclaimation... Barry is The One") who spent the LAST twenty years of his life sucking up the "disavowal of the middle-class" is a principle religious tenant so-called 'religion' cult.
Every time that National-Socialist pipes up about being "for the middle-class" he needs to have his head shoved back up the Reverand Wright's ass where it belongs.

O/T but CNN is playing this "McCain/Obama Charity Event" thingy and my TV at work doesn't have sound.
But McCain just said something that made Hillary laugh harder than I've ever seen her laugh. I mean, she busted a damn gut. And now Brian Williams is laughing and applauding.
What the hell is he saying?

From now on, you will have to pass a "background" check to ask The One a question. Wonder how they will run that check? No problemo - the Dems already have a database of "troublemakers".
It is the U.S. voter registration list... minus the the DNC membership list. Simple.

I should have guessed when he said he 'works hard.'
Really, I think this is a sterling illustration of the bullshit of the Democratic 'fighting for the working man.' They want to take away the money the guy earns as a 'working man' to 'spread around' to those who don't fucking work, pay taxes, or do anything but wait for the gummint handout.
With the current state of the economy, I have doubts that it will be able to recover when a 'screw the producers' philosophy takes over.

Mr. Obama was paraphrasing Saul Alinsky when he spoke to those sweet let-go-ers of money in San Fran . . .
pp. 188-189, Rules for Radicals
“Their bitterness is compounded by their also paying taxes for these colleges, for increased public services, fire, police, public health, and welfare. They hear the poor demanding welfare as ‘rights.’ To them this is insult on top of injury. Seeking some meaning in their life, they turn to an extreme chauvinism and become defenders of the ‘American’ faith. Insecure in this fast-changing world, they cling to illusory fixed points–which are very real to them”.

I’m happy to make a donation for Joe. But I also want to make sure these scumbags don’t get away with this. I’m really shaken by what they’re doing to Joe. Maybe we’ve got a community activist here that can tell us the best way to get our voices heard. ;-)
Really, this is beyond the pale. It was bad enough when they completely trashed Governor Palin. But at least she’d made the decision to put herself in the public. Joe the Plumber doesn’t deserve this. NO private citizen deserves to be harassed just because he/she dared to question a political candidate. I know Bill O’Reilly obsessively hates the DailyKos scum so I’m sure if we made enough of a stink he’d pick up the story. But I’d really like to go beyond the rightwing sphere. Democrats and Independents need to know how Obama’s brownshirts operate and what a risk they pose to free speech.
Last thought: I hope someone clips McCain’s speech. He’s always had a great sense of humor. It’s too bad most Americans haven’t seen it. 
Posted by: Tversky at October 16, 2008 09:38 PM (BGFkC)
Well for one, we are going to get McCain elected. If he is going to put his neck on the line it won't be in vain. If someone sacrifices for a cause the best thing you can do for that person is to join in the fight for that cause.

Disagree, if all we do is sit by and watch this courageous man get attacked...that will be the theme.
He probably would not even want the money. However, the silence in failing to rally around him will only encourage the attacks to continue.
Many people want to give this guy money and not just for the trouble he might be in but to salute him for his stance.

Well we are showing support here. We need to call into the few friendly media left and talk about how we are disgusted by the attacks and support him. Show others that we will not lie down and take it anymore. We need to tell friends and family who are both pro McCain or are undecided about this. We do not sit by, but there is a lot to do to show support other than financial. Hell, even write to the local papers and news outlets. Maybe we will get lucky and get letters in the paper. I've already written letters and called advertisers of media outlets that are pulling this crap and let them know my disgust.

Obama's performance sounds like the "comedy" skits that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco tried to do at the state's Gridiron Show each year.
(A tradition is that the highest-ranking politician in the room, typically the Governor or Lt. Governor, gives a rebuttal. Between her spending 4 years as Governor and another 8 as Lt. Governor, I saw her bomb at this plenty of times, while seeing her predecessor, supposed dufus Gov. Mike Foster, and her successor, Gov. Bobby Jindal, be genuinely funny.)
Blanco's big problems were that she was wooden, thought she was funny, and is overly long-winded. If she'd been brief and to the point, a few jokes could have been made and there may or may not have been laughs. By overly bloating her response, it just made it seem even worse, because it felt like it would never end.
McCain's performance, by contrast, sounds like he had a grasp of his audience, has a sense of humor about himself, and has an idea of how to sell jokes to a crowd.

#136 - Funny. But I'm serious. Of course we wouldn't trash Ace's place with it, but how do you even get the kind of information these douches seem to be able to get in seconds?
Think how the game changes when reporters know they will go through what Joe is going through. Suddenly, fair and balanced is no longer just the title of an Al Franken book.

Just goofing on the possibilities: So if I could convince 100 different people to give me $10,000 each I would owe no taxes on the $1,000,000 I received!

I went to the website of the Toledo Blade (Toledo's NYTimes) to read the hit job on Joe the Plumber. Started surfing around their site, and found a section for online reader polls. One caught my eye:
The poll asked if Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her ex brother in law, Mike Wooten (Alaska State Trooper.) It was about 90% yes.
Sarah Palin did not fire Mike Wooten. He ended up with a 5 day suspension.
I learned 2 things:
1) The Toledo Blade presents Obama spin as fact
2) about 90% of their readership are idiots.

I'll defer to Marybeth. (I think the limit used to be 10k, but I can imagine it has shifted over time.)
Banks report "large transactions" for review. I think the limit there also used to be... 10k.
But yes, make the transactions smaller and go for it.

For those who are interested in vetting the smearmerchants, here's a couple of places to start: Ben Smith, Jonathan Martin, Carrie B. Brown, and Amie Parnes are at Politico.com and have been investigating the man who had the audacity to question The Messiah.
The NYT hit piece was written by Larry Rohter (William Lawrence Rohter Jr.), a man who up until 2007 was their guy in Brazil. The coauthor of the NYT article is sports writer and poet Liz Robbins, who has a couple of books on Amazon.com. Rohter and Robbins line in New York City and I'm sure their publicly available records will be most interesting as soon as I get them.

#107 - 'JS'.
well said.
when mcain wins this thing it'll be in spite of malkin/allah/ace et al wanting him to lose.
i guess the pessimism/panic meme gets these 'pantshitters' more hits to their websites and more ad bucks.
so yeah, good work fuckheads. you've made a few bucks and a name for yourselves. miserable cunts.

Joe plumber is just the average toledo guy who asked a question. Now MSNBC and other NBC networks treat him like he is some dirty washington fat cat involved with some damn scandal.
DEATH to A.C.O.R.N!
