Alex Bensky emails: "Remember when the Clintons asked the media to lay off Chelsea and they did? I actually thought it showed that the msm were not entirely without principles or ethics. However, not only is Joe the Plumber better investigated than Obama, but we've heard more about Bristol Palin in the last couple of months than we heard about Chelsea during the entire Clinton administration."

The harassment of Joe the plumber is the singular biggest mistake of the Obama campaign. The MSM is making Joe a martyr. Heck, DKos just published Joe's home address. Obama is now not only a Marxist but a Marxist bully - just another Chicago thug. America roots for the underdog and they will not take this action kindly. If Joe were a hero yesterday, wait a few days.
Obi Wan's line in Star Wars when fighting Darth Vader comes to mind - "Strike me down and I will return more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Americans will realize what happened to Joe could easily happen to them. And they will remember this come November.
If we are going to start into tax liens, as Joe seems to have a problem with his outrageously high Ohio income tax (thanks Bob Taft and Ted Strickland, with an assist to Jon Husted); maybe we should also look at Obama' staff, like his treasurer. He has tax liens, and so do his companies. Gosh, I wish we had a truly independent, fair media....
