Andrea Nill of ThinkProgress misleads about Joe the Plumber immigration comments at tea party - 07/06/09
... party featured an appearance by Joe the Plumber, who said the following:
I believe in making sure our country is safe first. I believe we need to spend a little more on illegal immigrants. Get them the hell out of our damn country and close the borders down. We can do it. We’ve got the greatest military in the world and you’re telling me we can’t close our borders? - That’s just ridiculous....
Joe the Plumber sues over records search (Helen Jones-Kelley) - 03/05/09
... campaign is "look what happened to Joe the Plumber!" Yes, indeed. He's already published two books, gotten a gig with Pajamas Media, and become somewhat of a household name. And, if that's not enough, he's probably going to collect a reasonable settlement from people who appear to have taken actions against him and who've since been fired or resigned (link):
Paul Farhi /WaPo gloats over Joe the Plumber, shows Beltway interest in heartland Americans - 02/26/09
... pungent parts of the article with "Joe the Plumber" replaced by the mythical, liberal counterpart "Jane the Teacher". Can anyone imagine the WaPo publishing anything like the following?

In order to have an impact, they have to go out and...
The Non-Partisan Case Against Barack Obama - 10/29/08
... NOT BE TOLERATED
The case of Joe the Plumber should be shocking to anyone who supports the U.S. Constitution. Someone dared to ask Obama a question and was later mentioned several times during a debate. Obama's supporters and surrogates responded by leaking private information on him and by trying to drive him out of work. The Obama campaign was probably involved in that, and at the least they...
Live coverage: John McCain/Barack Obama Hofstra "debate", 10/15/08 - 10/15/08
... followers are stupid.
-------------
"Joe the Plumber" was mentioned 15 times during the debate (link). Look for hacks - such as those who aren't interested in pushing my plan to go ask Obama questions - to adopt him as one of their own. Example: pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/025804.php
If only Ron Paul supporters had a brain (Adam Kokesh stunt at John McCain speech) - 09/05/08
... quality of the questions. See the Joe the Plumber case for an example, but imagine what would have happened if he'd stumped Obama as I did with someone much less famous a few years ago. One blogger did ask a Representative a gaffe-producing question. A TV reporter asked Biden some inflammatory questions which made him look bad; very good questions would have helped discredit him.
