Off the reservation?

Leftists can't hack it. Blacks and women are not allowed to leave the reservation/plantation/basement/kitchen. Now the working class can't either. As soon as they discovered that "Joe the Plumber" from Ohio could speak better off the cuff and was more knowledgeable than the candidates, BO and Biden, they swung into action to destroy him. Checked his plumber's license. Nope. Checked his union membership. Nope. Checked his voter registration. Yes (although some got that wrong). Checked his taxes. Wow. Look at that! He like thousands of others, still owes Ohio money. No wonder he doesn't want Obama to raise his taxes. Just like they flew a covey of lawyers to Alaska to find dirt on Palin and her husband and children, they have launched a "destroy Joe" campaign.
    Joe's American Dream: "was to have a house, a dog, a couple rifles, a bass boat. I believe in living life easy and simple. I don’t have grand designs. I don’t want much. I just wanna be able to take care of my family and do things with them outdoors and that’s about it, really. I don’t have a “grand scheme” thing. My American Dream is just more personal to me as far as working, making a good living and being able to provide for my family, college for my son. Things like that – simple things in life, that’s really what it comes down to for me. That’s my dream." Interview
Now Obama is lying on the campaign trail about what Joe said. I heard him this morning on the radio. "How many of you know plumbers who make a quarter of a million a year?" he said slipping into a little patois just to be authentic. Joe never said he earned $250,000 a year--he said he'd like to buy the business some day and not pay even more taxes under Obama's plan. Joe's a working guy who'd like to do better someday. Under President Obama, that's not allowed. Step back, working folk. Do the Obama blue collar, black face shuffle.

Pot to Kettle: Martin Nesbitt's tax liens (Obama's treasurer).

See Michelle Malkin who is tracking this.


Update: This comment #23 at Malkin was good: "Thank you to all the MSM hyper Obambi lovers and supporters. Thank you, thank you, thank you. In your zeal and hatred of the American workers you have kept Joe and his story in the news. This could very possibly be your Dukakis in the tank moment. With the race tightening up voters are hearing Obambi over and over again espouse his socialism and the thug-ocracy of the Obambi machine. Thank you again." Marshall Russ

The MSM has tracked down the truth and reported: His name isn't Joe; that's his middle name. Oh the shame and horror!

Someone didn't like it that he referred to Obama tap dancing like Sammy Davis, Jr--that's apparently racist, but what if he'd said Fred Astaire? Or Gene Kelly? The press would scream ignorance of black culture.
