I find this stuff to be very funny, and a great summary of how the media has behaved this entire campaign (the full cycle).
Poor Joe gets in line and has the great fortune to ask a question. The response from Obama gave McCain an opening to publicly target the differences in their economic philosophy.
Joe is then subsequently interviewed, and says he supports McCain.
Since then, Joe has been accused of being a plant, linked to Keating 5, found to owe taxes and not have a license.
Instead, if he had stated he supports Obama, he would have been found to be a leader in his community, a boy scout leader, rescued a cat from a tree, a volunteer at a food bank, and have perfect dental records.
This personal attack by the media and the insane Left will backfire. Joe is just an average American who committed the heinous crime of asking a legitimate question of The One.
This is just an effort to deflect away from the true story - "Spread the wealth" - which the Left, the media and the Obama campaign must be worried about.
Based on the effort by the media and the Left to damage JTP - you just know they are worried.

No media bias...what a crock.
Rest assured that Fox News, Hannity, and "those other ones" will get the paint out and fix him up to fit McCain's original plan (Joe the plumber). Don't worry, be happy; It still could work to McCain benefit.
^It is John McCain's problem that he put this guy under the media scope. Not the media.
That is true. McCain held him up as a shining example. When people take a closer look, Republicans respond with "how dare you inspect poor Joe the pseudo-plumber so closely!"
Sounds like mock indignation to me for another one of McCain's campaign blunders.
There is an article on Joe the Plumber in "the Australian" newspaper! LOL.. My friends from Melbourne also found it online. It's funny how much coverage that guy is getting!

I sincerely doubt this. If he had supported Obama he would have immediately been linked to "terrorists", I'm quite sure. Soon enough, Palin would have been talking about who he had been "pallin' around with". Then he probably would have been linked to some organization, any organization that had ever had a single person who had made either a racist or anti-American comment. Meanwhile, his views would have instantaneously been pegged as "socialist" and there would have been screaming from the right about how Obama must be paying him off. Come on.
If Obama had used the Joe the Plumber example and the things about him came out, the media would be all over it! You betcha faux news would have it and the other media outlets competing with Faux would have it as well..

The reason Mac cited JTP was not the question, but the answer Obama gave. "Spread the wealth" will live in infamy for quite a while I hope.
So the Obama campaign is out there attacking an average American who just so happened to ask The One a question, a legitimate one at that.
I know the bots would like to make this all about Joe and his criminal, sordid past, but that is really a very transparent effort to deflect from the real damage.
"Spread the Wealth" - three little words I'm sure Obama would like to take back.
The intensity and depth of the outrage focused on JTP by the Left, the media and the Obama campaign is very telling.
