Anchoress is among many covering the media frenzy aimed at destroying Joe the Plumber. His crime was that he obtained a true answer from the Obamessiah.
It's been said the main fear of Conservatives is that the people won't find out what they stand for; the main fear of Liberals is that the people will find out what they stand for. This is the perfect illustration of that idea.
To my way of thinking, Joe the Plumber - singing the psalm of the common man, and representing the views of the middle class and what we once used to call "the Silent Majority" - has completely terrified the left, the Obama camp and the press.
....
But here's the thing: what or who Joe the Plumber is does not matter. What matters is what Barack Obama said to him. The focus on Joe the Plumber - the obsession on him, and the need to somehow discredit him in the eyes of the nation - is meant to distract you from what Barack Obama said, and nothing else.
Those words are what matters. It does not matter whether Obama said them to Joe the Plumber or Booby McBoobadoob. Don't allow yourself to become distracted by the media swarm/feed. Stay focused on Obama's words. THOSE are what matters.
America just heard the President Presumptive tell them, essentially, "don't dream too big. Don't dare to dream too big, because if you do, we're just going to chop you down to size, so that everyone is the same."
....
Things turn on a dime. This election may well turn not on who "Joe the Plumber" is - but who Barack Obama is revealing himself - finally - to be.
Anchoress has been fasting and praying for the best possible outcome in this election, despite the influence of tempters sending her pie recipes. Did this bring us Joe the Plumber? If so, let's send in more pie recipes (and chocolate recipes) so Obama can let truth slip to more people.
