Via the Standard, you read the Byron York article. Now see the movie! Featuring an introduction by Mother Jones lefty David Corn, lamenting the sad, sad state of American politics in which irresponsible leaders scapegoat media outlets and incite an angry rabble.

They have this on video? BLOODY BRILLIANT!

David Corn lectures private citizen on taxes while Obama finance person’s taxes remain larger and unpaid.
Topsecretk9 on October 21, 2008 at 4:15 PM
David Corn should be pitied: he suffers from liberalis-headuphisassus.
AubieJon on October 21, 2008 at 4:17 PM
YES!! I wanted to see this!
I am sending the link to my Colombian American friends.
jencab on October 21, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Tito for White House Press Secretary!
aero on October 21, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Corn sounds shocked, shocked that anyone would think that the media was trying to rig the election for Obama.
Count to 10 on October 21, 2008 at 4:18 PM
For someone trying to get an interview, he sure doesn’t let the people answer his questions.
Abby Adams on October 21, 2008 at 4:19 PM
Where can I get the “I am Joe the Plumber” T-shirt?
m064404 on October 21, 2008 at 4:20 PM
This is America.
D0WNT0WN on October 21, 2008 at 4:20 PM
awesome
jp on October 21, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Interesting that Corn was talking about the Repbulican campaigns tearing down people…
While Tito was talking about the PRESS doing it FOR the Democrats…
But of course, he could not see the problem there…
Romeo13 on October 21, 2008 at 4:20 PM
If Obama really wants to hurt McCain, he should mention that McCain has palled around with leftwing journalists in the past.
RBMN on October 21, 2008 at 4:20 PM
It is a little late cause the lead is getting bigger…not smaller like we keep hearing

Try cafepress.com. I’m sure people have uploaded several versions for your purchasing pleasure.
aero on October 21, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Geez, I didn’t like him and the video hadn’t even started yet.
Smug. That’s what I get from him.
Smug.

Your fingers are moving ut all that comes out is “Wahhhhh! I’m a goat humping troll and there’s nothing I can do about it. Wahhhhhhhh!”
AubieJon on October 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Remeber folks, this is the guy who invented the whole “Karl Rove outed Valerie Plame” story out of whole cloth. Trusting him to tell the truth about anything is like trusting Joe Stalin.
rockmom on October 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Why is that unbiased reporter defending Obama?
Vince on October 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
GO MCCAIN SUPPORTERS!!
Tito and the others should be on the campaign trail!
jencab on October 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
The media doesn’t understand how personal “Joe the Plumber” resonated by many people just like him. Most only write about that part of America, don’t mingle with it.
Check out the smug looks the media members are giving while they two are talking. Conceited pricks.
amerpundit on October 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Every time I see David Corn talk about anything I’m glad he’s not on our side.
What an effete little toad that guy is. He makes Alan Colmes look cool in comparison.
NoDonkey on October 21, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Aaaaaand, Joe W. was a private citizen who didn’t ask to be made a public figure. Asking questions about and taking shots at a candidate’s judgment, background, and character is much, much different than attacking a private citizen simply for asking a question.
Abby Adams on October 21, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Wow… and that’s even after selective editing. Have no doubt that the McCain backers probably handed Corn his ass several times.
Hoodlumman on October 21, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I wonder if Mr. Corn has any children? They would be “Children of the Corn” and very scary just like their daddy.
Vince on October 21, 2008 at 4:28 PM
The crowd complains about the media attacking Joe the plumber and he responds with Republicans attacking their political opponents. Is he so blind that he cannot see the difference?
Kafir on October 21, 2008 at 4:28 PM
According to the transcript that was posted here at HA, Mr. Construction man did teach Cornhole a lesson in civics.
Vince on October 21, 2008 at 4:30 PM
You should see the grin on my face.
RushBaby on October 21, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Counting forward at 4:10 – “nn,nn,nn,no not liberal, socialist! socialist!”
LOL…..that was great!
nottakingsides on October 21, 2008 at 4:30 PM
“I wonder if Mr. Corn has any children?”
I think we both know the answer to that.
It’s like asking whether Markos Moulitsas has any children.
One, you have to like girls in a way that these two poofs do not.
Second, you have to sacrifice your time to something other than building a socialist utopia on earth.
NoDonkey on October 21, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Don’t say “we” on this blog, you dipsh+t troll, unless you’re talking about you & KornHole and the other Usual Suspects
Janos Hunyadi on October 21, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Since you’re talking to a proud leftwing reporter, you could ask him if he has any non-aborted children…any that he’s aware of.
RBMN on October 21, 2008 at 4:33 PM
I second the motion to nominate Tito The Construction Worker for Press Secretary.
eanax on October 21, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Hmmm… polls.
I wonder how your man Bob Barr is doing in the polls?
Y-not on October 21, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Dear America,
Here is what you tell the paperboy, the cable guy, the dish salesman, the local movie rental house….
NUTZ!
There ARE because we allow it. Not WaRshington. Not liberals. Not hug-a-tree universities. US. You. Me. All of us. With the exception of the print news the other outlets are making their money from PROFIT SHARING. Demand to pay for only what you order. What the hell is it going to cost you? A year, maybe, of doing without? The free enterprise system will react to your demands. If the customer wants it some enterprising Joe is going to provide it. QUIT GIVING THE MSM THE MEANS TO CUT YOUR THROAT.
Limerick on October 21, 2008 at 4:37 PM
I love the passion the McCain supporters have in that video.
GT on October 21, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Soft hands, pale thin upper arms, hairless forearms, fingernails chewed to the quick, and intellctual snobbishness. That about do it?
a capella on October 21, 2008 at 4:38 PM
What a smug, self-fellating, douchebag. Bertram Oleander with microphone. Much like the rest of the Drive-Bys, he just doesn’t get it. And he still won’t get it when McCain wins in November.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Tito is pretty good. I like that guy.
But I have to say that, after having seen Joe Wurzelbacher do some amazing interviews (the guy is a natural, I think) he’s a tough act to follow.
progressoverpeace on October 21, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Tito kicked his *ss…that man has some chops, he knew his stuff.
Tito the contractor: +8
Cheesy commentator: 1
In the past week, we had “average” guys, take down these “elites”. What do you bet the commentator has a big time degree.
It shows you, the world is run by C students…
right2bright on October 21, 2008 at 4:41 PM
I here and now QUASH the motion for good.
We need men like this to build our bridges and skyscrapers and residences. God bless you, Tito. May you prosper and inspire legions to follow in your noble footsteps.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 4:41 PM
ok someone hand me Corn. It is good for grizzly trapping.
upinak on October 21, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Phashawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
I’m gonna go pick up dog business before the neighbors start complaining about the land mines.
Keep the faith, HotAirHeads! The folks picking the Corn sure have a bunch of it.
Limerick on October 21, 2008 at 4:43 PM
I am Joe the Plumber.
ballz2wallz on October 21, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Is there a talk show in the country that David Corn hasn’t been kicked-off of for being such a leftist tool?
Maxx on October 21, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Off-topic (other than being a wonderfully entertaining McCain supporter who doesn’t pull punches): Machosauce’s latest video.
Love the shot at Rapper Known In Court As “Sean Combs”.
Abby Adams on October 21, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Life destroying story on how Tito the Construction Worker has more than one displeased client coming at 8…
BKennedy on October 21, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Ha ha ha ha ha!
RushBaby on October 21, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Corn looks like a friggin chimp and talks like Bawny Fwank. Another childhood misfit who grew into a Lib. Typical.
FiveWays on October 21, 2008 at 4:47 PM
I freakin’ love that guy. He is own fire!
And that Bozo journalist is campaigning for Obama at a McCain rally!
Wow!
TheSitRep on October 21, 2008 at 4:47 PM
David Corn is a stupid freaking moron.
pukara61 on October 21, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Every one of these “reporters” had the same superior smirk on their stupid faces.
What’s with that?
I can just see them all now on Nov 5th, when they lose this thing, as they huddle in their cubicles rocking back and forth repeating to themselves, “I tried to do my duty…I tried to do my duty…for the ‘one’.”
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on October 21, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Wurzelbacher/Munoz ‘24! (No, Munoz isn’t a natural-born citizen. But when has that ever stopped anybody?)
And David Corn proves why he’s named for a vegetable commonly embedded in feces.
Jim Treacher on October 21, 2008 at 4:51 PM
Viva Tito!
(I never thought I’d be cheering a Tito…)
irishspy on October 21, 2008 at 4:51 PM
David Corn is a moron.
Anyone who can get their a$$ handed to them by Sean Hannity qualifies as a cementheaded drooling imbecile.
benrand on October 21, 2008 at 4:52 PM
That was the first thing I noticed too. What an idiot.
Although, perhaps I shouldn’t call him an “idiot”, because in the past, whenever I’ve seen David Corn, I’ve actually (really) wondered if he wasn’t at least slightly retarded. There is something not right about this guy, and I can’t quite put my finger on it.
That said, it’s pretty sad that he had to talk to someone who barely speaks English to make himself sound remotely intelligent.
RightWinged on October 21, 2008 at 4:52 PM
My last comment was removed, so I’ll clean it up.
If this nut thinks himself to be some sort or journalist, then I’ve got a bridge I want to sell you.
He’s not asking questions objectively. But all other comments here see that.
This screwball is a tool, nothing more.
madmonkphotog on October 21, 2008 at 4:54 PM
We got a plumber and a construction worker…
Now allz we needz are a cop, soldier and an indian, and we’ll have the:
“it takes a Village People”
Mazztek on October 21, 2008 at 4:54 PM
did anyone else notice how the media was biased. They were trying to explain Obama’a economic policy. Since when did the media become the cheerleaders for a canidate. they were not defending themselves they were defending Obama’s tax policy.
unseen on October 21, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Tito is right, Obama is a soseealist. Tito and Joe need to be placed somewhere in the McCain administration.
Grafted on October 21, 2008 at 5:00 PM
I think there was a tingle down David Corn’s leg, I mean a “tinkle”. That’s what you get when you leave the bubble of stupidity and go out in the REAL WORLD, Corn!
Working people don’t want socialism.
They don’t want to give up their hard earned money to pay for some waste of air slug sitting on their couch, popping out kids, and waiting for their welfare check to come in the mail.
HornetSting on October 21, 2008 at 5:01 PM
Good for those people for standing up! There needs to be more pushback like this against the media!
CP on October 21, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Damn yo. A black lady, a Hispanic guy, who is not hating the media on their take-down of Joe the Plumber? Corn just ends up looking like a douche.
“Do you pay your taxes? Well, Joe didn’t.”
Wow, and we care why? What a fuggin douche.
Seixon on October 21, 2008 at 5:05 PM
I can answer this. They go after Joe the plumber because he dares to think he can make it on his own without handouts from the state. If everyone realizes they can do this the Dems have no platform left.
Buford on October 21, 2008 at 5:06 PM
This is absolutely 100% right on! If the press wants to be in bed with the Democrat party then they need to be attacked just like any other political party! They want to maintain the respectability of a so called free press, while they in fact are on one side! Good for these people! More heroes in America!!!
JellyToast on October 21, 2008 at 5:07 PM
I AM TITO!
JustTruth101 on October 21, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Wooo-eee! Extra kudos to Connie from the Caribbean for understanding that this election is not about race, but class: Lefty elitists and country club Republicans (who always know better than us) against Working Joes and Josephines, blue-collar Dems and the bitter clingy conservative base.
Fortunata on October 21, 2008 at 5:11 PM
If Obama wins, we should all tell the IRS to pack sand. No money, no programs. Too bad.
HornetSting on October 21, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Nothing changes and won’t till people stop watching their news. Advertisers/money is what it’s all about.
They are not interested in reporting truth & fairness.
Less viewers and less money for adds is what it’s all about.
You don’t like what you see and hear than if enough people TUNE THEM OUT now and in the future there will be a change. You’ll get their attention when their numbers drop even more than thay already have.
In the meantime, there is more than enough news, on the net, and their is always C-Span.
Gulf Coast on October 21, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Neither did Charlie Rangel!
JellyToast on October 21, 2008 at 5:17 PM
I watched this with my kids after watching it myself! These are the kind of people that make you proud to be American! Very encouraging!

“Say halo to my little frend…”
Wyznowski on October 21, 2008 at 5:21 PM
If you look up “snivelling, whiny, douchebag” in the dictionary, David Corn has his despicable mug right there next to the definition.
And if you look up “trust-fund whore,” his former boss Katrina Vanden Heuvel appears.
I hate those f%$#ing people. I consider them a greater threat to the republic than Al-Qaeda or any terrorist group.
PimFortuynsGhost on October 21, 2008 at 5:21 PM
Yes, please.
malan89 on October 21, 2008 at 5:22 PM
That, or Secretary of Labor.
On another note, a friend from Illinois (knowing is vote goes to the bottom of the Chicago River) sends me the following:
BuckeyeSam on October 21, 2008 at 5:26 PM
Does Corn know that Joe is NOT A CANDIDATE? DId oyu hear the equivalence he drew?
This is exactly what these people are pissed about.
Corn is an a$$hole.
drjohn on October 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM
Why is David Corn defending Obama in the first place? Isn’t he a “journalist”?
Iblis on October 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM
David Corn is a cornhole.
In other news, Glenn Beck is coming to Fox News!
HornetSting on October 21, 2008 at 5:35 PM
GO Tito!! You’ll notice in this that the two best spokesmen(persons) for why Obama shouldn’t be president, are sporting foreign accents. I’m telling ya, it seems like the only folks that still get it are the ones that come here for what WE take for granted by and large. God bless these people!
tickleddragon on October 21, 2008 at 5:35 PM
As much a journalist as the other liberal cretins.
drjohn on October 21, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Someone needs to make an “I am Joe the Plumber” ad. Start it off with the clip of Barack and Joe’s exchange, then something about what’s been done to Joe and then a bunch of people like this crowd saying “I am Joe the Plumber” and the last one saying “I am Joe the Plumber and I’m voting for John McCain because I can’t afford Barack Obama for president.” Or something like that. People identify with JTP.
foxforce91 on October 21, 2008 at 5:40 PM
You’re being more rhetorical than Mr. Corn is capable is.
It is Mother Jones.
The only thing louder than Obama slapping the back of Joe Bidens head after his latest gaff is the sound of a door at a liberal periodical slamming in the face of a conservative journalist. You have to pass a litmus test.
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 5:41 PM
But, Like we’ve been saying about the frustration with the media.
It begins.
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 5:42 PM
HAHHHH.
An informed, angry, conservative, multicultural electorate. Corn must be traumatized.
greggriffith on October 21, 2008 at 5:46 PM
David ACorn.
Sounded more like someone on Obama’s campaign staff then a reporter. Who does this clown work for now?
fogw on October 21, 2008 at 5:47 PM
And it warms my cockles. Suggests that average Americans are more aware of the liberal media bias than we give them credit for. That means that many of them won’t be swayed by these rigged polls too. You have to be unaware that you’re being played to believe them.
Fortunata on October 21, 2008 at 5:48 PM
tru dat brudda, good point!
JustTruth101 on October 21, 2008 at 5:50 PM
What is a member of ‘The Press’ doing giving Bambi’s stump speeches?
Also the guy give equivalence to the media ravishing Joe’s personal life because he asked a simple question to McCain pointing out Bambi’s associates for 10 or 20 years.
No Bias here… move along…
CrazyFool on October 21, 2008 at 5:52 PM
Thanks for that JT101! One thing tho…the dragon is a sista. ;)
tickleddragon on October 21, 2008 at 5:53 PM
Exactly.
The Ugly American on October 21, 2008 at 6:01 PM
I love to see and hear people from away that are here legally, working hard and living the dream. That’s the reality of hope, and they know exactly what the Dems are up to. That’s what brought my ancestors here and what I want for my children and their children.
Hening on October 21, 2008 at 6:05 PM
MSM digging into Tito’s immigration status in 3…2…
Romeo13 on October 21, 2008 at 6:07 PM
so thus guy goes to a McCain rally and advocates for Obama to show how fair the media is and how stupid the McCain supporters are for not liking the media? Am I following this correctly?
I guess I’m just not bright enough to follow that logic. I’m sure it’s me.
twoarmman on October 21, 2008 at 6:07 PM
That crack about Joe not paying taxes is the classic untruthful dig that Libs excel at. My first year owning a business, I fell short on my taxes and had to catch-up. If anyone had accused me of dodging my taxes because of that, I can’t imagine how I would have reacted.
Funny how the fact that Obama’s campaign manager is behind on taxes in not a story.
Hening on October 21, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Tito for Secretary of the Treasury. He gets it! “Socialist!” “Socialist!”
I love it!
DeathB4Tyranny on October 21, 2008 at 6:09 PM
