   “Before men can act,an issue must be polarized. Men will act when they are convinced their cause is 100 percent on the side of the angels, and that the opposition are 100 percent on the side of the devil. [The community organizer] knows that when the time comes for negotiations it is really only a 10 percent difference.”
   –Saul Alinsky, Chicago’s Godfather of Community Organizing

   Polarizing Joe the Plumber is what the Democrats, with aid and comfort from the MSM, are doing to this man. Ripping this man to pieces and spending more time investigating him than Obama, Biden or Bill Ayers.

   We should all be disgusted.

   Who the heck mentioned Joe the Plumber first?

   If McCain hadn’t used him – yes, USED him – he wouldn’t be “ripped to pieces” by MSM or anyone else.

   Don’t you think he has been enjoying his time on all the big TV channels? Think again.

   Lovisa, so this is how you justify crucifying Joe, because McCain quoted him ? This is how things work in your imaginary, perfect little world ?

   Joe the Plumber can walk into any bar in the country now and get a free beer.

   Considering the leftists are putting the country into the toilet, maybe we need a plumber.

   Lovisa, Your logical baffles me. So McCain “used” Joe the Plumber and that gives the MSM and the Obama campaign the right to tear this man apart. Unbelievable.

   The more you post, the more I wonder what is wrong with you. First, the poor and homeless are too stupid and ignorant to pick an insurance policy, now it is ok to ruin a man’s life because he dares to speak out against Obama! What America do you live in? If you want to discuss why and how McCain used the “joe” example – fine. But that is not the point at hand.

   Now we find out that Obama’s Campaign Treasurer, Martin Nesbitt, has tax liens and so do his companies, like Joe. Let’s throw this guy to the wolves too – right? He is out there talking on behalf of Obama, is his personal life fair game? Rip him to pieces – right?

   The message is Lovisa, don’t talk to the press against Obama. The goon squads will be out in full force.

   All I can say is this:

   IF MC CAIN HAD NOT USED OHIO JOE’S NAME, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

   If McCain had said, “a plumber,” everyone would have known who it was from the YouTube videos.

   Lovisa, Sorry, but this does not justify being ravaged by the Obama attack dogs.

   What you are claiming is no less than saying that if the kid had not been walking down the street, he would not have been attacked by the pit bull, it was therefore the child’s fault.

   ” don’t talk to the press against Obama. The goon squads will be out in full force.”

   cmac, The message is broader, if you exercise your 1A right of free speech, the goon squads will be out in full force.

    How so, jack?

    If McCain had said “a plumber” I wouldn’t have had any idea who that plumber was. It could have been someone from Sterling or Herndon or Peoria or ….

    The YouTube video has a pedigree — people know when it was made, and where 0bama was at the time. Questions would be asked, and very soon the media goons would find someone who says, “Oh, yeah, that’s Joe. He fixed my sink last Thursday.”

    jack-

    Are you saying that Obama is the one who talked to Ohio Joe? Why, then, would McCain bring him in to the debate?

    Where was the YouTube video made? Was Obama there? This is getting confusing, really.

13. jack
    October 17th, 2008 @ 12:16 pm

    Yes, Lovisa. Where have you been? Joe got 0bama to spout the patented socialist mantra, “Spread the Wealth.”

14. Lovisa
    October 17th, 2008 @ 12:33 pm

    Maybe so, BUT, Obama did NOT bring him up during the debate.

    True or false?

    October 17th, 2008 @ 12:46 pm

    Think many here are having a hard time believing that a guy named ‘joe’ could be a plumber who doesn’t deserve to be attacked by the media.

    Maybe if it were ‘jose’ he would be more worthy of their compassion..

17. jack
    October 17th, 2008 @ 12:54 pm

    So, 0bama says something stupid (i.e., he reveals that he really is a socialist), McCain calls him on it, and you then think it’s OK for the media to go after the guy who confronted 0bama and forced him to reveal what he really is?

    Do I have that right, Lovisa?

18. Cathymac
    October 17th, 2008 @ 1:05 pm

    Lovisa – WHY would Obama bring up a taped conversation with a citizen that revealed him as a Socialist? Obama was hoping Joe the Plumber would go away, and went confronted with his own words could not explain it away.

    This is a legitimate argument Lovisa, it is stricking a nerve with millions of small business owners. I’m sorry you can’t see that.

    All of you guys are complicating my question:

    McCain brought up the name. Obama did NOT.
    I’m talking about the debate, FYI.

    True or false?

    Nobody has answered that simple question. T or F,
    that’s the question.

20. Cathymac
    October 17th, 2008 @ 1:35 pm

    True, McCain brought up JTP. What is your point Lovisa? That since McCain brought up JTP’s name – because of a conversation with Obama that revealed him to be a Socialist – JTP deserves to be pummeled by the press and Obama thugs?

    You make no sense.

21. Lovisa
    October 17th, 2008 @ 1:48 pm

    OK – Finally an answer.

    No point whatever. I just wanted to hear somebody state the fact that it was MC CAIN who gave out the name of poor pummeled Ohio Joe. Shucks, he might even have to pay his taxes. What a shame – a nice guy like that.

    I make no sense. Does anyone make much sense on this blog?

22. Cathymac
    October 17th, 2008 @ 1:58 pm

    Wrong again, McCain was not the first person to give out the name of JTP, he merely mentioned him at the debate. Joe’s name had already been reported, and he was no doubt already under “investigation” by Democrat thugs.

    Get your facts straight.

    As for the snarky tax comment, perhaps Charles Rangel should start paying his taxes from the last 10 years – totaling 10’s of thousands. Rangel seems to get a free pass but a working Joe that owes 1200$ in back taxes gets raked over the coals? Again, what is wrong with you Lovisa?

23. Lovisa
    October 17th, 2008 @ 2:14 pm

    Dear C.

    You’ve got to be one of the most obnoxious people writing here.

    Rangel – He’s a crumb. I’ve just finished writing a check to the IRS for something that was left out in 2006 and I do indeed wish that Rangel and EVERYBODY would pay their taxes. Don’t you?

    There’s NOTHING wrong with me. Trust me!

    Dear Lovisa, The label of “obnoxious” from you is a like a trophy. You are probably used to people ignoring your ignorance, I can’t do that.

    Congrats on paying your taxes, perhaps you can now stop inclining the JTP is a bum since you seen to have been in the same predicament.

    NoVisa,
    “IF MC CAIN HAD NOT USED OHIO JOE’S NAME, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED”

    Wrong! Talk radio had picked up on this and was already crucifing Obama about his socialistic ideas. McCain, albeit slow on the uptake, has started to pay attention to the people and used it as a talking point. Shoot, even you liberals who are disgusted by conservative talk radio get most of your ideas from there. McCain didn’t run him into the ground-Obama, MSM and liberals did that. When you truly show you colors in this manner, those stupid “common folk” pay attention. You guys keep doing what you do best-acting and talking stupidly. You just hurt yourselves in the process. Ooops. That was a slip. Please don’t let that secret get out.

    You’ll be happy to know that I’m gracefully bowing out of this. I can take a lot of insults, but time after time being called STUPID is NOT what I’ll swallow. Tata!

    Lovisa, I don’t think anyone called you stupid, but when you say something stupid and someone points it out you have a couple options. You can realize your mistake and fess up, keep fighting a losing battle, or take your ball and go home.

    Your original post was acused McCain of mentioning the whole JTP thing first, and you continued to insult the man. It was stupid, you continued to fight, now you are taking your ball and going home. Option #1 might have been best, fess up and say you were wrong.
