Palin: Just a reminder that Joe the Plumber thinks Obama’s kind of a socialist

She claims she’s tired of talking about him, but when you want to hit this hard — per CNN, evidently there’s such a thing as a “socialist card” and she’s playing it — it’s nice to be able to do it through a proxy. Presumably this’ll earn her tonight’s worst person in the world award on “Countdown,” unless these guys get it for whatever deep racist subtext detectable only by Olby and the nutroots they’re guilty of. Note to Kayo: If he’s a socialist, at least he’s a socialist who “loves America.”
As for the part about ACORN, I hope she doesn’t get arrested.

To show my solidarity with Joe the Plumber, I am going to attach a plumber’s plunger to my Mccaine sign!

Obama is “getting in their face” with his Chicago thug-style approach.
Enoxo on October 17, 2008 at 6:12 PM
This is, honestly, a difficult quote to figure out. Sarah complaining about about speechwriters? doing what she does superbly – retail politics? Not wanting to talk about mid-America? Something doesn’t add up – that’s like saying she’s tired of Senator Government or Joe 6-term Senator. Quote out of context maybe?
Spirit of 1776 on October 17, 2008 at 6:12 PM
I can’t put campaign signs in my yard per the HOA, but there’s nothing about plungers. Too bad the others around me wouldn’t understand.
Anna on October 17, 2008 at 6:13 PM
She can go ahead leave out the “loves America” part because she can’t really know Obama’s motivations. But a socialist is known by his words and deeds, past and present. Obama has no adequate defense, other than obfuscation or outright lying, against the S- word, and the word bears much repeating during these upcoming last 2 1/2 weeks.
Edouard on October 17, 2008 at 6:14 PM
In our re-education camp, our overseers are confused why everyone is walking around wearing lipstick and holding a plunger………………

What does his going by his middle name have to do with anything? I go by my middle name, as well. I’ve always gone by my middle name. If you call me by my first name, I won’t respond.
Just stupid.

If they aren’t enforcing the rules on others. They can’t on you. Just put it up for a few weeks if you want. All they can do is ask you to take it down. And you will; eventually.

Hey guys, more stupid celebrity rants on Palin. This time it’s from Lindsay Lohan. Apparently Lindsay thinks the mother of five wants to dress up as a 20-year-old and hang out at trendy DC clubs when she’s VP. Where the hell do they come up with these things?:
If you want to respond to Ms. Lohan, and let her know just how moronic she sounds, follow the link. You’ll need a myspace account to reply to her blog which takes about 15 seconds to sign up for.

Spirit of 1776 on October 17, 2008 at 6:27 PM
I would really like to see Gov. Palin or Sen. McCain in a speech really string together all of these unscripted, telling comments by Barack Obama.
– Small town voters in Pennsylvania are bitter and clinging to their guns and religion
– I don’t want my daughter punished with a baby
– Iraq is a tiny country that is no threat to us
– Deciding when human life is subject to protection is above my pay grade
– We’re gonna make you pay a little more so we can spread the wealth around
Very telling, these comments. Put them together and they really tell you all you need to know about who Barack Obama really is and what his agenda will really be.
rockmom on October 17, 2008 at 6:28 PM
Obama’s thoughts on your wealth: spread ‘em!

Yes! Play the SOCIALIST card. It may be one of the few that can trump the RACE card. Play it relentlessly.
petefrt on October 17, 2008 at 6:41 PM
I like it! After all, what was the subprime crisis but taxation without representation: a couple of royal-elite senators for life imposing their ideology on the nation’s economy, and held not even slightly responsible for their crime against the public trust – indeed, they were invited to sit at the table and divide up the bailout billions. Tyrannical kings of old could only dream of such power. Come to think of it, old King George’s tax and tariff rates would qualify him as a radical right-wing Medicare-slashing extremist by Obama standards…
Doctor Zero on October 17, 2008 at 6:44 PM
OK guys, I know I posted this last night, but I’m just trying to “spread the wealth” here a little.
D/L it print it and “spread” it around. Get in Bambi’s face before we lose our nation to this guy.
No charge.
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on October 17, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Nice. Succinct. And true. Send that list to the McCain campaign – but anonymously, so MSM doesn’t pillory you for suggesting that Obama be reminded of his own words – that would be the ultimate “personal attack”.
fred5678 on October 17, 2008 at 6:44 PM
‘coming thugocracy’, indeed.

She doesn’t strike me as the type who would. :-)
ManlyRash on October 17, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Wrong. What the article claims is that she doesn’t want to say “Joe the Plumber”. The article lacks context, big time. Notice in the video she just calls him Joe, which is far more personal.
Editor on October 17, 2008 at 6:47 PM

trailboss on October 17, 2008 at 6:50 PM
That makes a lot of sense.
Spirit of 1776 on October 17, 2008 at 6:52 PM
After thinking about this even more, it is very clear the writer of the article purposefully took Sarah’s comments out of context.
Nowhere does it quote her actually saying she was tired of the subject, but the reporter/editor injected it. Do you not think that if they had her saying, “I’m tired of talking about him” they wouldn’t use that quote? This is an undeniable fabrication. They are attempting to take the human out of Sarah.
That is F***ed up right there.
Editor on October 17, 2008 at 6:52 PM
I’m sorry, that pisses me off to no end.
F*** you, Ass Press.

Obama just aligned himself with criminals seeking to undermine the foundation of the nation – faith in the integrity of the electoral process. This is going to blow up in his face. Mark my words.
TheBigOldDog on October 17, 2008 at 6:54 PM
OK… they need to drop Joe the Plumber now, and move on. They have a tendency to linger on things for too long and blow it by starting to come across as sissies… the conversation has moved from Barack’s answer to questions about JTP. They want to be in a position of attacking Obama’s policies, not of defending JTP and sounding like whiners… again.
DaveS on October 17, 2008 at 6:55 PM
I have a feeling Obama’s “love” for America was discovered at about the same time millions of witless Americans began throwing their money, and their mindless adoration, at him.
We know that’s the same time his bitter half discovered her long-lost “pride” in America.
AZCoyote on October 17, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Look what happen to our financial system when confidence in it was lost. Now imagine what will happen if faith is lost in the integrity of the electoral process.

“How is he not a socialist? Just because he usually buries it in pretty words?
Jim Treacher on October 17, 2008 at 6:22 PM”
Have any of you asked a Democrat to explain the difference between the platform of the Democratic Party, or Obama – and socialism, or Marxism? The only answer I can ever get is that “It is not socialism and you need to look it up!”
I’d love to hear from anybody here who has ever been able to get an Obama supporter to tell them how he ISN’T a socialist, or admit they WERE a socialist.
Bill O’Reilly once said that “Yeah, Obama has socialist ideas, but he’s not a socialist.” Sounds a lot like, “Yeah, he beats his wife, but he’s not a wife beater!”

Are you kidding me? The American people are seeing first hand what happens to a person like them, when they dare ask a legitimate question of The One and he gives a truthful answer he regrets.
TheBigOldDog on October 17, 2008 at 7:00 PM
““Anyone who actually KNOWS Political science would know that.””
Amen! I once got an e-mail from somebody who was upset that I included “communism” in the list. He said I was stupid because “communism” didn’t even EXIST, that it was just an “idea.” I e-mailed back that I knew that communism existed, just as communists existed and I knew THAT, because I reached out and touched them with a 20mm cannon, in 1968 and 1969.
Star20 on October 17, 2008 at 7:03 PM
Joe the Plumber is a symbol of cruelty, a rememberance of the New York police rectally assaulting people with plunger handles. Plus his name is Samuel Joseph which means he’s a Jooooooooo and therefore a Zionist Neocon!!1! He must be silenced!!1!

You do realize, I trust, that the McCain-Palin team needs donations to pay for all of the litigation that Obama and the Dems intend to bring to this election. Break out your wallets and be generous.
It’s the Dem MO to investigate, prosecute, and silence all opposition.

Pssst. Obama is a socialist, pass it on! Oh anyone with a brain knew this already. Unfortunately having a brain isn’t required to cast a ballot!

I suppose I’ll need to change my whatever-name to AcornSam soon.
What a disgrace our Secretary of State is.
AP:
Has anyone noticed whether Bob Herbert of The New York Times has been on TV yet accusing the plunger guys of communicating subliminal sexual messages. After all, Herbert might consider the plungers phallic symbols, and, interestingly enough, he might also consider them some kind of a feminine hygience product.
Maybe Bob will clear that up for us on Meet the Press on Sunday.

ManlyRash on October 17, 2008 at 7:49 PM
We all know the MSM is obsessed with phallic metaphors–remember the bashing of the McCain ad calling Obama a “celebrity” showing the backdrop of the German Victory Column?
m064404 on October 17, 2008 at 7:50 PM
A lot of people are making the good point that what tends to get lost in all this is Obama’s answer so…Can you make one of these that says someting like:
O “I just want to spead the\your wealth around”
CCRWM on October 17, 2008 at 7:53 PM
TheBigOldDog on October 17, 2008 at 7:00 PM
Not really… they are seeing it presented to them through the filter of the people doing the deed, so to speak. Sure, some people see through it, and it’s good for McCain to mention the thuggish tactics like he did today. But he at the very least needs to start talking about it in a more abstract way… instead of talking about the specific man, “Joe the Plumber”, he should talk about “the millions of Joe the Plumbers in America who dream of owning a business” or whatever. He needs to take the attention off this guy and put it on Obama’s socialist inclinations.
DaveS on October 17, 2008 at 7:53 PM
That woman having the signs destroyed and getting attacked.
Think Germans/brownshirts in 1930’s Germany destroying Jewish shops and killing Jews.
Our country is at a very similar point right now. This election is just like before Hitler became Chancellor.
If Obama wins with a Dem Congress, there is gonna be some really nasty intimidation directed at anybody who doesn’t agree with the Messiah.

The truth is SarahCuda is right,Obama’s actually
a candidate for the Socialist Party(not her words,
my opinion!)and as an example Hopey and the MSM,
have spent less than a day destroying ‘Joe the
Plumber’!
Interesting tidbit,when HilRod had over 1000 files,
of her’enemys’(filegate)in the White House,the MSM
seemed to care less!
So,are the MSM,just being helpful,or are they in fear
of Obama,as in retribution if the MSM stooges don’t
tote the party line!!
And that by the way is what communists do,control the
message!
BTW,if the USSR can stage a comeback,then why can’t
the Socialists try a second crack at trying to take
over America!
Because this time,it seems, they have all the apparatus
in place,for that purpose!

Obama says that he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000….. Does that mean he will not let the Bush tax cut expire??? I think not. That will hurt a lot of low income families. If he is elected and with a dem congress, no one will recogize this country in 4 years.
Sad state of affairs.
