Digging Dirt on Joe the Plumber (Updated..And Bumped, for Maximum Joementum)

Invasion of privacy? Bah, who cares about al that stuff. this is politics and Ben smith doesn’t care where he gets his much from.

A couple of his readers with access to voter rolls report to him that Joe the Plumber isn’t registered to vote. Whether that’s really true is not material. What is material is that, again, someone critical of the Obama campaign has had their privacy invaded and that the Obama campaign itself hasn’t even begun to address the issue that Joe the Plumber brought up.

And they don’t even have to cut Ben Smith a check for the help.

UPDATE: Byron York warns us to be careful about that free speech thing we like to exercise:

If you have anything in your past that you’re not proud of — a messy divorce, a DUI, an unpaid bill, an indiscreet comment, whatever — be prepared for it to become public knowledge. The lefty blogosphere, along with allies in the press, will see to that.

Back a few decades ago we had a word for that: brownshirt. Hey, come to think of it, Al Gore used that very same word not even four years ago. I wonder why he’s not using it now?

More from Jeff Goldstein. It’s getting so bad that you can’t compare one tap-dancing black man with another tap-dancing black man without being called a racist.

But hey, Plumber Joe, that’ll teach you to ask an honest question at a political rally where you should have shut up and let them slap a brain slug on you.

UPDATE 2: Why that Joe guy can’t be a real plumber! He doesn’t have official government permission!

And what’s this? He actually voted in a Republican primary? He’s a plant (unless, of course, you’re one of those less-jackbooted people who thinks that a person can be free to vote for someone from another political party in a General Election like, say, Reagan Democrats).

Says Jim Treacher: “Is it now okay to dig through voter records and see if Letterman is registered? Matt Damon? Four-fifths of The View? The cast of Gossip Girl? Hell, all but like 12 people in Hollywood who can’t shut up about how great Obama is? Yeah, I’m sure somebody will get right on that.”

And, my oh my, the left has fired up the Last Train to Desperationville. It seems that our intrepid Citizen Questioner is tangentially related to Charles Keating which of course means that he is an “operative”. The question I will ask our rabid leftist blogger is a simple one: How, exactly, was Plumber Joe supposed to know that Barack Obama would go off his talking points to give an old-school socialist answer to a pretty straightfoward question. Does Joe moonlight as a Mind Control Device maker as well?

This last accusation is easily the sillest one of all. It presumes that the fault here is Joe’s for asking the question instead of Obama’s for answering it in one of the dumbest ways imaginable. The truth of the matter is that the Obamessiah let his socialism slip. Had Obama just answered with Stock Talking Point Number Three, like he did to almost every question in last night’s debate, this would not in any way be a story. The panic evident in this post in particular tells me that Barack the Redistributionist Wonder is going to be a big, fat loser in November should his answer stay in front of the public for another week or two.

And that, folks, is why Plumber Joe must be destroyed. The progressives have to change the narrative from Obama’s answer to anything else.
