Here's why John McCain knew about Joe Wurzelbacher, now known to the world as Joe the plumber, in tonight's debate: Joe was interviewed on Fox News Tuesday. He doesn't much care for Barack Obama's tax plan and is already a mini-celebrity on the right-wing blogs. Here's the video:
Can Joe The Plumber Decide This Election?
Wizbang —
Yes, if the McCain campaign really keeps hammering the socialism theme... It's really simple - run with the the "distribute the wealth" comment Sen. Obama made to Joe Wurzelbacher, a Toledo, Ohio plumber looking to buy the small business he's worked at for years. Tie in the fact that Obama's tax cut for "95 % of Americans" is the instrument that Obama intends to use to enact this massive wealth redistribution project since, as The Wall Street Journal pointed out, 40% of Americans pay no taxes ...
Joe the Plumber Calls Obama's Tax Plan Socialist, Sawyer Defends It
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
Joe the Plumber (aka Joe Wurzelbacher), the Ohio man that has suddenly become the face of the presidential campaign, told ABC's Diane Sawyer Thursday that Barack Obama's tax plan to spread the wealth is "a very socialist view, and it's incredibly wrong." Predictably, Sawyer defended Obama's position by saying it's only a three percent tax increase that people making over $250,000 would be required to pay. Deliciously, the "Good Morning America" guest wasn't backing down (partial video embedded right): DIANE SAWYER, HOST: If people making $250,000 should not ...
HuffPo Moonbats Attack Joe the Plumber
Moonbattery —
Joe Wurzelbacher has become the personification of the American dream struggling to survive in the face of encroaching socialism. The Ohio plumber has worked long and hard to put himself in the position to buy a business, for which Obama would reward him by taxing him into a hole for being a capitalist oppressor. As The One explained to him, preventing his upward mobility is all part of the grand scheme to "spread the wealth around" — i.e., from those who worked hard to create it, to those who are too busy smoking crack, collecting welfare, and commenting at Huffington Post.

Obama Campain Calls Joe the Plumber Mythical
ScrappleFace —
(2008-10-17) — A viral video of an alleged ‘plumber’ talking to Barack Obama which inspired last night’s game-changing debate performance by Sen. John McCain is “a fake,” according to an unnamed strategist working for the Obama for America campaign.
Joe ‘The Plumber’ Wurzelbacher, of Holland, Ohio, “is a fictional, mythical character made up out of whole cloth by the Republicans,” the Democrat insider said.
“When we saw a middle-class guy, a common tradesman, who can articulate conservative values and principles off-the-cuff, without being intimidated by the ...
That Santelli Thing
Balloon Juice —
Tim’s point that the protests are all irrelevant notwithstanding, the Santelli/Koch conspiracy theory seems to be picking up, and at this point, I just don’t think there is really much there to support it. As I noted last night in the comments, sure, it is interesting, but so are all conspiracy theories. The JFK conspiracy theories are so interesting that Hollywood spent a record (at the time) amount of money creating Oliver Stone’s JFK. The conspiracy theories about 9/11 being an inside job are all interesting, but they are nutty as hell.
So far, looking at the report, the evidence ...
