In 2008, Barack Obama decides to go ring doorbells in Toledo, Ohio. A decade earlier, anticipating just such an event, the notorious S&L swindler Charles Keating instructs his son-in-law to move his son-in-law's cousin, a man named Samuel, into the path of Barack Obama's eventual walking tour. He further instructs Samuel to a) pretend he is a plumber even though he doesn't have a license and b) to call himself "Joe" rather than "Sam," since "Joe the Plumber" sounds better in a nationally televised debate than "Sam the Plumber." Then, when Obama shows up, Sam aka Joe is to ask Obama about Obama's tax plan, and focus his eyes on Obama, thereby telepathically forcing the Illinois Senator to say he wants to "spread the wealth around."
Diabolical! The genius of these stupid Republicans!
Surely this must be the true story. Otherwise, why would seemingly honorable people in the media, in the Left blogosphere, and a would-be vice president decide to investigate the bona fides of Joe the Plumber in a transparent effort to destroy the credibility, job prospects, and good name of a hard-working single father – when all he did, it would appear to the naked eye, was to live in a house on a block where Barack Obama decided to come calling in pursuit of a nice TV spot on the local news?
It seems the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is, the Democrats believe in tolerating free speech, and the Republicans believe in tolerating the person who utters free speech.
