Backlash?
I suspect Misha just may be right about this. We’d all better hope so, anyway:
You didn’t, unlike most of the other scandals that the Obamamedia have successfully buried, have to be a sad geek like me spending hours every day scouring obscure websites with even more obscure names to witness the crucifixion of Joe the Plumber. All you had to do was to turn on the evening news. And then you’d find yourself thinking “what’s up with this guy? Why do they go after him that hard? What the Hell did this ordinary guy-next-door plumber, somebody who’s just like me, do to earn that hatred and persecution?”, followed by the answer: “he dared question the Anointed One.”
Dear friends, if you think that didn’t stick in the craw of Main Street America, then you have some remedial education to do. We’re used to politicians and other scum being raked over the coals and, most of the time, most of us don’t really give a damn. It comes with the job and they chose it themselves.
But an honest to G-d, hard working plumber and single father who just wants to make something more of his life? When people like that get the full Spanish Inquisition, then the inquisitioners had damn well better be prepared to come up with a good reason for it and, ordinary Americans like us being who and what we are, it had damn well better be something like serial murder or child molestation, because we stick together. For the very simple reason that, unlike politicians etc., those people are “us.”
Yes indeed. And those lying, leering “journalist” scum — who have spent far more time trying to destroy the Palin family, “vetting” Joe the Plumber (who, last I checked, wasn’t running for anything), and sleazily trying to trick teenage girls into revealing some dirt on Cindy McCain than they ever will investigating Barrack and Michelle Obama and their myriad associations with terrorists, racists, America-haters, and other disgusting freaks — have inadvertently shown us what they’re all about. Their betrayal of every standard of integrity ought to have consequences, severe ones. We’ll find out soon enough if open campaigning on the part of the supposedly “objective” gatekeepers of information has hurt the Marxist Messiah more than it’s helped.
Update! More from Joe his own self:
“It actually upsets me,” Mr. Wurzelbacher said. “I am a plumber, and just a plumber, and here Barack Obama or John McCain, I mean these guys are going to deal with some serious issues coming up shortly. The media’s worried about whether I paid my taxes, they’re worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America. They really don’t. I asked a question. When you can’t ask a question to your leaders anymore, that gets scary. That bothers me.”
Yep. It ought to scare everybody not deluded by fever-dreams of socialist Obamerika and the Second Coming. But as Dennis Hopper said in Easy Rider, it ought not to make us runnin’ scared. It ought to make us dangerous — to them.
