Joe the Trick or Treater

Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher caught Barack “Spread-the-Wealth” Obama in a socialist moment. Let’s be clear. I call Barack a socialist because he was a member of a socialist party in Chicago in 1996. It went by the name, the New Party. So here’s a great toon that captures the Joe the Plumber moment with some appropriate holiday spin.

    Obama’s apparent economic socialism could be the least of our worries.

    Local television news video describing a truly disturbing attack on a McCain volunteer in Pittsburgh yesterday:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ-5l9PpYx4

    This is not the first incidence of physical violence against a female McCain supporter by someone who apparently backs Barack Obama:

    http://www.pajamasmedia.com/blog/obama-supporter-assaults-female-mccain-volunteer-in-new-york/

    Things seem to be turning terribly out of control, and people are very angry and upset at this assault on this young woman.

    I’m sorry, Larry, to divert from the cartoon and I mean no offense. This is outrageous, and I am beyond livid at the details of this attack.

    I feel sorry for the kids sitting at home waiting for their government subsidized candy on holloween.

    Because Barack the Trick or Treater is going to trick them out of it.

  • Lars

    Great cartoon Larry! I’ll bet plenty of kids this year will dress up as Joe the Plumber or Sarah Palin.

    LOL! I wish I had thought it up. (Still trying to think of the best one to do for Halloween…)

  • Diana

    Women need to get together and bring a lawsuit against MSNBC, CNN and several others for purposely promoting hate crimes against women. There are so many video tapes of the things they’ve said against women, the disgusting hatred, there isn’t a jury in this country that wouldn’t find for the plaintifs. The promoting a a man taking Hillary into a room and only “HE” comes out. I said yesterday they were promoting this type of behavior. This enrages me.

  • Diana

    +f for plaintiffs

  • samb

    I get tired, of the media being in the tank for Obama and Obama trying to pretend he is something he is not, i read stories of men and women having acts of violence committed upon them, because they are from the opposing team my beliefs get tested. BUT I LIKED THIS ONE, TO ALL THE JOE’S OUT THERE THIS ONE FOR YOU AND TO THE REAL JOE WHO IS OUT THERE THE ONE WHO CAUGHT OBAMA IN A UNGUARDED MOMENT, THANKS.

    If Obama gets elected, it will be smooth sailing for House Democrats to take your 401K candy. They are already discussing a plan to fold over existing private 401K contributions into the social security system, eliminate the tax preference on contributions, spread the wealth and give a huge 3% annual rate of return. What ever happened to self determination, the whole motivation behind 401K’s? Must Democrats think we all need to be wards of the state and dependent upon government to fund our retirement?

    Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation’s $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the elimination of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive.
    House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-California, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, are looking at redirecting those tax breaks to a new system of guaranteed retirement accounts to which all workers would be obliged to contribute.

    A plan by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, contains elements that are being considered. She testified last week before Miller’s Education and Labor Committee on her proposal.

    At that hearing, the director of the Congressional Budget Office, Peter Orszag, testified that some $2 trillion in retirement savings has been lost over the past 15 months.

    Under Ghilarducci’s plan, all workers would receive a $600 annual inflation-adjusted subsidy from the U.S. government but would be required to invest 5 percent of their pay into a guaranteed retirement account administered by the Social Security Administration. The money in turn would be invested in special government bonds that would pay 3 percent a year, adjusted for inflation.

    Love the cartoon!

    Reminds me of something I once heard:

    How can you tell the difference between people who belong to one of the various political parties?

    DEMOCRAT
    You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office that put a tax on your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax, The people you voted for then take the tax money, buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.

    SOCIALIST
    You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow.

    REPUBLICAN
    You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So? What’s the problem?

    COMMUNIST
    You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.

    CAPITALISM
    You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

    DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE
    You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which is a gift from your government.

    BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE
    You have two cows. The government takes tehm both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours the milk down the drain.

    ENJOY!
    :)

    OBAMA ACCEPTS DONATIONS FROM AL QAEDA LINKED TERRORISTS

    Obama has illegally been taking donations from Tamil Tiger leaders, according to the FEC. The Tamil Tigers are, according to the FBI, the most successful terrorist group in the world.

    A well- known LTTE operative whose funds were returned by an embarrassed Clinton campaign earlier this year has turned around and made a donation to the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama. This time, the money has not been rejected and there’s another pro-LTT E group out there raising more. (more here)

    I have reported these tamil tiger terrorists here and here.

    According to the US Federal Election Commission (FEC.GOV), Obama (as well as the head of the US Congress Sri Lanka Caucus – Representative Rush Holt) has accepted donations from, as well as funds raised by, the same American LTTE fundraiser, Mr. Ram Ranjan, whose was fired by Hillary Clinton campaign for his terror links, according to Clinton’s foreign policy advisor, Andrew Shapiro. Ranjan was formerly regional director of the now banned TRO, according to the Seattle Times. Vaikoobama_01_70246_218

    Hillary Clinton rejected these blood stained dollars from al qaeda tied Tamil tigers.

    Not only that, but Tamilnet photographed Obama hugging and kissing the now-jailed LTTE terrorist politician Vaiko. (here)

    The LTTE also gave al-qaeda passports in the World Trade Center 1993 incident – here is that article

    hat tip Randall via Mark (open thread at OC)

    …..a new group calling itself ‘Progressive Tamils for Obama’ is raising funds for the candidate. Definitely, the rhetoric on the group’s website strongly suggests an LTTE presence:

    “We Progressive Tamil Americans expect that Senator Obama will become the next president of the US. We hope that when he becomes president next January, he will be supportive of our concerns, especially of the continuing suffering of our friends and families in Sri Lanka. We are dismayed by the continuing “slow genocide” of Tamils there.

    Who is killing who? This is the Odinga style of speaking.

    Calling for a ‘Bosnian model’ solution to the conflict, the group says: “We urge the 44th president of the Unite States, Mr. Obama, to take a strong hand in resolving this civil war.”]

    Thanks for these links. I will cross post.

    LOL! I actually joked about this with my Mom. I said she should dress up and Michelle Obama and when the kids come to the door tell them they might as well get used to the redistribution policies now and give up their candy to be given to someone else! :)

  • Faye

    Paul,
    There is a picture of the young lady and a report of the attack over on The Drudge Report. I thought you’d like to know.
    I love your YouTubes contributions that you link us to over at NQ. Thank you.
    An aside note: the Pittsburg report said that this was being looked into as a possible “hate crime”. Don’t anyone hold their breath. I don’t think there is a prosecutor in the USA who has the courage to prosecute a black for a hate crime. JMO

    I have been volunteering here in NH for several weeks now.

    Yesterday i went in for my usual work hours and there were 20-30 large sings on the floor out in the middle of the town hall.

    I asked why they were there, and the office director said…BECAUSE JOHN MCCAIN HAS DECIDED TO WIN NH!

    The polls here are getting tighter…Mac closed in the LAST * DAYS up here, otherwise the R’s would be pumping Romney right now…ugh..I don’t like Romney, must forget that…

    The feel right now it that NH is do-able. I am keeping the faith…

    I do not think even a humor transplant can help poor Debbie..once you drink the kool aid a side effect is to loose your sense of humor .this way you become more like “the precious” who has NO sense of humor.

    Obama had His Plumbers erase it…and replaced “Whitey’” with “why’D They…”

    Well, Obama ran and won his state Senate seat as a registered Democrat. But perhaps you don’t understand the concept of fusion voting.

    The other nonsense in this post is not worth responding to. What are you smoking?

    You prove again: Wingnut is a renewable resource

  • Fenelon spoke

    Yawn; Obamabot talking point number one. Anyone who doesn’t support the candidacy of Obama must be a racist.

    Talking point number two-”It’s guilt by association”. Waaaaaaaaah; And it’s just a coincidence that Obama choses to spend years of his life with nutty preachers, a domestic terrorist, and on and on and on.

  • Patrick Henry

    Are you the same Kevin that has the CHE Poster on His wall…or the One…who Blogs for Obamas Web site and Whose Uncle Joe is the head of a Collective..??

  • mel

    Easy to tell no one ever tells you or Kevin about suprise parties for someone, since you two idiots like to spoil the suprise before the time is right!

    You two should never go to Vegas, you’d lose there too, since you have no idea of timing.

    Thats because he knew He couldn’t win as a NEW PARTY..Member…or as a Communist..or as a Marxist… Those guys just get Appointed Cushy Jobs as College Professors…and other kinds of PROTECTION..

    Chicago XChicago…Thier Kind of Town..

  • Hermagoras

    Again, fusion voting: third parties endorse the major party candidates in some states. For example, John McCain sought and received the endorsement of the Independence Party of New York. Does that make him a member?

    Is your name Debbie Downer?

    Why do it early to hurt the Infomercial candidates big time next Weds Kevin, sort of like Bambi’s mysterious trip to grannies house when Granny isn’t even ill and prepping for a birthday bash on Sunday?

    This stuff you can’t even make up except if a pathological liar like Odumbo….lol

    You tend to forget how the GOP killed Odumbos moment in the sun after his 4 million dollar greek speech, it was a thing of beauty, even Joe the plummer thinks so…..lol

  • Fenelon spoke

    Hey, Debbie does No Quarter-

    People write all kinds of things to try to sway people to vote in a certain way-even the writers of Politico.

    If you weren’t at all worried you wouldn’t be here trying to demoralize MCain voters. But you know what? I’m taking my 30 years of Democartic voting down to the my precinct and pulling the lever for MCain. So is my spouse. So is my brother-in-law. I convinced the two of them because I’ve been reading about the faux Messiah Obama for 10 months. I know a lot and I have big mouth. ;^) Live it with it Debbie dear.

    Waiting in the Central Time Zone for Michael Savage live. Can’t wait to hear the Berg interview. It’s like waiting for Santa Claus. I hope it proves to be 100% true. Anything less will be scandalous, and I will be furious for being scammed once again. That is to say… I’m cautiously optimistic.

    Maybe my tinfoil hat needs adjusting, but here’s my thinking. If Sara Obama didn’t know that the Constitution requires someone to be a natural born citizen in order to be Prez (which is very likely), then she wouldn’t hesitate to say that BO was born in Kenya, that she is proud of him, etc.

    OT BUT IMPORTANT

    http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2008/10/24/1224351498592.html

    OT BUT IMPORTANT-TELL ME THAT THIS IS NOT PROPAGANDA!!!!

    According to the Australian publication “The Age” website:

    The US liberal group MoveOn.org has released a mock news video that puts the viewer squarely in the middle of the White House race – as the single non-voter who loses the election for Barack Obama.

    The video inserts any name selected by the viewer, John Smith for example, into a faux newscast from November 7, 2008, three days after a US presidential election won by Republican John McCain.

    “Obama’s Loss Traced To John Smith,” “Single Nonvoter Tipped Election To McCain-Palin Ticket,” the headlines read as a newscaster from “CNNBC” TV recounts how John Smith’s failure to vote was responsible for Obama’s loss.

    Protesters and voters vent their outrage at John Smith over his failure to cast his ballot and demand an apology.

    A goatherd in an unidentified country tells CNNBC he “cannot believe John Smith would allow this to happen” and how worried he is that “crazy man” McCain will “bomb his goats”.

    The video concludes with an appeal to “Vote Obama on Nov 4″ and encourages the viewer to send the video to their friends.

    MoveOn.org, which counts more than 3.2 million members, endorsed Obama for president in February.

    The video is available at

    Is this even legal?

    For me, the thing about Joe The Plumber is that Obama is lying about that $250,000 number. He’s lying. Why would anyone believe anything Obama says?

  • Tom Brokaw

    Is this true? Please site.

  • dpvegas

    And I heard one economist say that it’s actually $200,000, not $250,000. A small business making that annually isn’t “rich.” Now, during the primary, when he got nailed on that, he lied and said he’d only tax the “rich,” which he said meant anyone making more than $4 million. When did $200,000 become rich?

    And while he’s taking tons of money from truly rich people (like the hedge fund companies), who actually believes he’ll tax his excessively rich donors? Anyone here that naive (or just plain dumb)?

  • Rob G in Chicago

    debbie:

    There is a distinctive line between a “progressive” income tax system and a confiscatory and oppressively progressive income tax system, and Obama proposes to race (sorry, had to use that word) across that line. Most presidents struggle with getting the percentages just right so as to remain progressive while not stifling investment, job creation, and capitalist incentives. Obama appears to have no concern for the second part of the equation.

  • Rob G in Chicago

    Folks on the short bus are easily amused.

  • Rob G in Chicago

    Kev/Deb:

    In 2001 we were still enjoying the Clinton era surplus. These are different times, as you may have noticed (or your parents have noticed), and call for different tax policies.

  • Rob G in Chicago

    Only if the organization requires that you be an active member in exchange for their endorsement, as does the “New Party”, the Socialist Party in Illinois. Obama joined that party, and is mentioned as an active and supporting member in their literature, along with Congressional Rep. Danny Davis of Illinois.
