SAY WHAT?

The Left Declares War on Joe the Plumber, is an article by Michelle Malkin on National Review Online, which is about Joe Wurzelbacher, a small-business owner from Ohio who questioned Senator Obama about his tax plan during a Toledo campaign last weekend, and now everyone from Senator Biden to Joshua Marshall are digging through his life and his past to discredit him. The intended audience is more towards Republicans and undecided voters. Although it is pointed towards those two groups, shouldn’t everyone be concerned? Come on the man asked a legitimate question which should be answered before the election and if all you have is, “spread the wealth around…it’s good for everybody”, why would I ever vote for you.” The story is credible because Senator Biden among the others who have been bad mouthing him have been on record talking about everything from how much he makes in a year, his voter registration status, and being a racist. I don’t understand why they are trying so hard to discredit him other than to take the attention off the Senator Obama’s tax plan. Why would are they tearing this man down if the tax plan is supposed to help the small business owners and Middle America? I believe Michelle Malkin’s point for the article is to make people aware of the lies and the lengths some will go to, to hide what normal people think instead of having original ideas and a plan to stand behind. I also think she did a good job of stating facts rather than saying things without any proof to back it up. All in all, this is an informative, eye-opening article.
