I feel bad for Joe the Plumber , but if this unbridled assault continues, it will turn middle-class America off of the Barackstar faster than if he was caught with a dead girl or a live boy.
Obama is trying to make the case that he is for the middle class - while his surrogates are now openly attacking one. Can it get any more blue-collar than a plumber ? As I said earlier, this will play real well in Peoria.
Its as bad as the assault on the Palin family - the only difference is Sarah is a Governor running for Vice President. Although the attacks have been way out of line, at least a case can be made because of the position she holds, and the position she may hold. This guy is small potatoes, not even a media talking head. Wrecking Sarah's life would be bad, but she will still have a good future ahead of her, as will her family. They send Joe to the unemployment line and they could effectively ruin him and his loved ones. All for the crime of catching The One off-guard.
