John McCain says that, if Joe the Plumber isn’t crazy about the tough questions coming from reporters hanging out on his lawn, he has Barack Obama to blame.

“He didn't ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn't recruited or prompted by our campaign,” McCain said of the political cycle’s newest celebrity, who questioned Obama on taxes during a neighborhood canvas earlier this week. “He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks."

3. Oh Jesus Tap Dancing Christ....How PATHETIC

[Higher Standard]

4. He didn't ask Sen. McCain to bring him up 21 times in a nationally televised debate.

Or maybe he did, who knows? But McCain was the one who put him firmly into the public spotlight, not Obama. But I think this is all going to play out as the Ayers stuff does, just another McCain attempt to distract the public from the real issues.

5. He wasn't recruited or prompted by our campaign,” McCain said

that means he was

7. Didn't Joe the Plumber seek OBAMA out?

Christ, it's Alice in Wonderland time in the McCain campaign.

[Clio the Leo]

8. Democratic smears... how the tables have turned...

We are so evil! :evilgrin:


In this case, telling the truth seems to be a smear. :eyes:

9. Well, the most Obama and Biden have done is make a few comments based on what the MEDIA reported.

To blame Obama for their actions is a fucking joke.

[rurallib]

10. McCain could yet turn the Republican party into the third party

with enough finally getting fed up and forming a new party.

12. Nevermind John, take another pill.

Just who was it who first mentioned the guy at the debate. Now.. let me see..Oh yes!

IT WAS YOU SENATOR MCCAIN!!!

[Connie_Corleone]

14. Obama didn't go to that idiot's house.

The idiot came to Obama and started asking questions.

Joe the non-plumber should blame McCain for bringing up his name in the first place.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

21. Does Joe the Plumber even live in the neighborhood...

in which Obama was canvassing? I've heard rumblings that he was a plant, just like that Parlock MFer.

[alwysdrunk]

15. Fox: Joe the Plummer is under attack

This is beyond desperate.

Don't they know Obama will just effortlessly spin this like "we don't want to attack Joe, we want his vote, we want to cut his taxes and help him afford quality health care"

[Cha]

16. mccain walks around with pantload and needs his

diapers changed.

[NYC Liberal]

17. Question: Why when a voter asks Palin a question is it slammed as "gotcha" questioning

But when a McCain supporter asks Obama a question, Obama better answer and nobody better question the motives behind asking it?

[Left Is Write]

18. How dare that man blame Senator Obama for the public attention surrounding Joe The Plumber!

How dare he!

Fuck that.

[graywarrior]

19. Man, I cannot wait for this lame brained, idiot fuckwad gets his ass kicked and

sent into hiding so we're never forced to listen to his creey whispering ghoul voice ever again.

[skooooo]

20. Wow this is really lame!!

[TwilightGardener]

22. Beyond idiotic. America would have never heard of this fucking moran if McStupid

hadn't made him a media star.

[greenmutha]

24. Ummmm.... HELLO? *You* put him in the spotlight Mr. McCrazy!

Jeebus! Why is everything backasswards with these retards?
