L.A. Times: Joe the Plumber Has Liens!!!!
2008-10-18
The Los Angeles Times reports:

According to court records, creditors have secured at least two liens against [Joe the Plumber] Wurzelbacher, whose legal name is Samuel. Ohio has a $1,182 lien for owed taxes and St. Charles Mercy Hospital has filed a 2007 lien for $1,261.

I think we can all agree that this is critical information.

Not because it says anything about Joe the Plumber, mind you. But it does serve a useful function: it warns any future citizen who might dare question Barack Obama that his life will be closely scrutinized for any irrelevant but embarrassing information.

So, you know. Critical in that sense.

Oh -- I almost forgot to mention: Martin Nesbitt, the treasurer of Obama's campaign, has tax liens. So do his companies.

You'd think that matters more than the tax liens of Joe the Plumber, wouldn't you? But good luck finding a Big Media story about Nesbitt's liens.

#9  Whatever the libtards made up about President Bush fascism is happening, right now, in real time and on TV. Dissenters and non-believers get attacked by the press and air dirty laundry (All they can come up with is a tax lien which, in my opinion, proves his point about getting to the point of overtaxed). Second, and more disturbing, is the voter fraud. People are getting caught red handed. Caught. Nothing is being done, in fact it is being given the wink. This is documented on TV suppression of dissidents and voter fraud. When asked, to his face, his take on ACORN senator government smile-smirked the very serious alligation off - if a detective came up to you and said you were a suspect in a murder case would you respond with, "I've also been accused of stealing hearts before and plead guilty." No, not an appropriate response anywhere except on Comedy Central (if anyone still watches re-runs of Futurama, not even the good ones at that).

obama instigated the conversation and rattled off his response and probably didn't even know he had pissed off so many people until he got back around his campaign people, "Barry, buddy, that may be what you want to do but don't say that out loud - remember your waffle eating deal, don't know how we got past that but by calling them rascists even though it was obvious they weren't laughing at you but how bad you bowl. And the 'sweetie' deal, hell just the other day I read about a teacher getting fired for allegedly being sexist and you were caught on tape nevermind how pissed you wife was. This, this, well its a pooch screw. Strike three barry - by the way that's a baseball term. Thought you would like to know because as it is people are going to have to wait to see the World Series because you want your informercial. All they gotta do is show your NAFTA fubar, that tape about removing the missile defense and dismantling the military, and this Joe Plumber deal...Christ, where's the scotch - and somebody call biden and tell him to stfu right now. No I don't know where he is or what his speaking topics are I just know who he is and he isn't going to say anything to help."

#8  The left has successfully refocused this entire issue. The emphasis should not be on Joe but on the Obamessiah's line...

SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND !!!

#7  They forget to mention that Joe also puts on his trousers with his left leg first!

Never mind the socialist on the podium. Lets attack whoever asks the commie a not-so-hard question.

#6  Doesn't Chuckie Rangel have Liens as well? I knew about Nesbit's liens, which is funny since I don't have a degree in journalism...

#5  Yes, GK, that's the meme 'One set of rules for me and another set of rules for thee.' Orwell defined it as being a member of the 'Inner Party' and all others the 'Outer Party'.

#4  whose legal name is Samuel
His legal name is "Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher". But since the entire country is forbidden to mention Obama's middle name , "Hussein", then none of us are allowed to use our middle names either. As the LA times says "it ain't legal."
Funny, in all of this fuss little, or nothing, is being said of 0Bama's Marxist "redistribution of wealth" answer to Joe the Plumber.
We have learned something else: the first amendment applies only to the leftist media and not the ordinary citizen.

#3  It's not who asked, it was the response that is the point. Quick throw up another smoke screen to the slip of the curtain over the socialist dogma.

#2  whose legal name is Samuel

Right here is your "neocon" (or, at least, Christian right) connection.

#1  Joe probably didn't even know about them. I had one I wasn't told about until months after the fact. Turned out it was a misunderstanding and they reversed it.

And who (besides the left, of course) gives a $hit if Joe is a Nazi even? What matters is the content of the discussion based on a typical entrepreneurial citizen, not whether or not he is personally worthy of discussion.
