“Joe’s the man. He won, and small businesses won across America. They won because the American people are not going to let Senator Obama raise their taxes in a tough economy. They are not going to let him do it, my friends.”

Is anyone else really offended by McCain/Palin trying to generalize us all as "Joe the Plumber" and "Joe Six-Pack?" I'm a middle-class white guy, but I am nothing like these blue collar "average" Americans they depict. America is extremely diverse. That's what this country is really about. I think I've heard that whites will soon be in the minority. But go on McCain campaign... keep telling us how we're all the same. Let's see how that works out for you.

Arlington, Va.: The Secret Service has now labeled the "kill him" report as unfounded. Why isn't The Post giving this report as much coverage as the original false report received?
Dana Milbank:
Glad you asked, because I saw this earlier. This is actually about the incident in Scranton, not the one in Clearwater, Fla, that I wrote about here.
I wasn't at the Scranton event, but I have to say the Secret Service is in dangerous territory here. In cooperation with the Palin campaign, they've started preventing reporters from leaving the press section to interview people in the crowd. This is a serious violation of their duty -- protecting the protectee -- and gets into assisting with the political aspirations of the candidate. It also often makes it impossible for reporters to get into the crowd to question the people who say vulgar things. So they prevent reporters from getting near the people doing the shouting, then claim it's unfounded because the reporters can't get close enough to identify the person.

the republican party really wants to tap into the reality show phenomena that makes people obsessed with someone's story and their fortune. palin from wasilla. joe the plumber.
such cheap games. thank god we're not this piss poor of a country.
- In all fairness Democrats have been exploiting the stories of minorities and the poor for a long time too. http://www.realclear…tommyo
- that's because they are poor********
- huh?tommyo
- the difference being they're not tacking specific individuals directly to their campaign image board._salisae_

A little history lesson I just learned about. Did you know that Federal Income Tax was originally pitched as a system that only targeted the top 1% of the richest Americans? Slippery slopes. Sounds kind of familiar eh?

"I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls," Obama told me. "If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?
"I guess the point I’m making," he went on, "is that there is an entire industry now, an entire apparatus, designed to perpetuate this cultural schism, and it’s powerful. People want to know that you’re fighting for them, that you get them. And I actually think I do. But you know, if people are just seeing me in sound bites, they’re not going to discover that. That’s why I say that some of that may have to happen after the election, when they get to know you."
- msnbc is no different. These editorialized soundbite media outlets are insane. He's right and It's really quite sad.tommyo

"I guess it's no wonder John McCain was so happy to use "Joe the Plumber" as a debate prop last night -- he's a partisan Republican who also happens to be a member of McCain's old friends, the Keating family.
From Martin Eisenstadt:
Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years.
Now I guess we know why Joe is telling the press that Obama is a "socialist" and that the Obama tax plan "infuriated" him. After all, it would hit families like the Keatings and their minions the hardest.
Not to mention that Obama's economic-recovery plan would put the crimps on influence peddlers like McCain's old friends, the Keating Five."
- Holy shit is that real?? ffs That's it for McCain if that is. That's pretty f'in stupid. Link?tommyo
