And, rather than fault of the people who try to destroy the ordinary citizen, it's the fault of the politician who tried to publicize that citizen's plight.

Got it.


No. they did none of that. "Joe the plumber" did all that himself by making himself the willing tool of the right by going to an obama rally and challenging him with outright lies and thus catching the attention of John McCain who also wanted to make him a tool of his. The media simply hopped on on account of McCain mentioning him over 20 times and found out most of his story was frankly, bullshit.

And from what I hear, this was the leading story on FOX News last night. With the same accusations of Obama trying to destroy Joe the plumber. As I said, it's a clear sign of desperation when the entirety of the right wing and their media try to link obama to something McCain did and even admitted to(!) on Letterman on Thursday.
