Are Obama supporters really for free speech or not? Check out the link below.?

Look what happened to Joe the Plumber. They dug up his records, SSN, where he lives, his taxes,..EVERYTHING. Is this what we can expect from an Obama administration?

I won't be surprised if this question gets deleted, either.

Update:

Um...to the lot of you, including the idiot that called me a racist redneck, Joe was a simple guy playing with his child in the yard. It was OBAMA that decided to campaign in Joe's neighborhood. He asked a simple question that put your guy on the spot...and personally I think it made BO look rather foolish. I'm convinced he sent his MSM friends to do a hit piece on Joe's life.

Would you want the MSM to do a hit piece on your life if you asked a simple question which made McCain look bad?

C'mon--think about it.

Update 2:

Norskeyenta--

Are we feeling a bit guilty or what? Where in my question above did I state anything about handouts. But because you brought it up, I'll roll with it. It's the Democrats that like to tax the crap out of people. It's the democrats that make up all these "entitlement" programs and are turning our society into a welfare state, which your boy Barack wants tax money to pay for.

I do believe that they did a poll and asked which party donated more to charities. Guess what! It wasn't your party.

Guess which candidate donated to charity too? I'll give you a guess, his last name is McCain. Try doing some research next time.

    Liberals like to invoke political correctness to control speech and behavior, if you don't believe what they believe or don't do what they do, you are evil, no one can be different from them, if you don't vote for Obama you must be racist because everyone must vote for him.

    Sure it was Senator Barak Obama that Joe the Plumber talked to, but it was your Candidate, who stuck his nose in on the conversation and ran with the ball. Oh no,it was not Barak, who sent the media in to do a hit, but it was the McCain bunch, that ridiculed and made a big story out of Obama's talking to Joe the Plumber. It was your bunch that did that , and I also want to tell you that the Democrats are not parasites, living off of a free hand out. You got money then put it where your mouth is. I work hard and have earned good money all my life, and never once taken a free handout or welfare. BUT I have helped many people who are so down and out and depend on the Republican Welfare Plan. By the middle of the month this large family has nothing. I have bought many needed things for the Family and continue to do so. So don't go and degrade the Democrats, you don't know diddley about them. But we do help the Poor and down trodden. We don't stick our snotty snoots in the air , and pretend we don't see the American's who are in need. God says to help the poor, I guess you fall into that catagory of not helping the poor.

    McCain stuck his own foot in his big mouth, and above the mouth are two brown eyes, that roll around un-controlable. You are not dealing with reality.

    Who put a gun to his head and forced him to do an interview on every show under the sun? Most of what you claim the media "dug up" on Joe was information Joe offered up himself in those interviews. Don't forget that it wasn't Obama who dragged Joe under the media spotlight. It was McCain during the debate and the right wing non journalistic media.

    It wasn't the Obama campaign that did this. It was the media. And, Joe the Plumber sttod in front of the cameras for his fifteen minutes of fame. With that comes scrutiny.

    Oh you mean like McCain is calling everyone at home to harass them in the batteground states?

  • Who cares about Joe the (unlicensed, non-tax paying) Plumber? Blame McCain for the media attention Joe is receiving, he's the one who caused that.

    No, many of Obama's supporters only support free speech as long as you agree with them. The moment you disagree, they want to shut you up. It's sad really.

    Lies are not free speech. You can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater, and you can't say you're gonna be a business owner making 250000 when you're not.
