Plumber Investigated More Than Presidential Candidate

This has REALLY bothered me ever since Joe the Plumber has asked Senator Obama his question. Joe was just an average guy, but once he inadvertently embarrassed the good Senator from Illinois, his fate was decided. Joe must be dealt with. Whether it was because the Obama campaign needed to distract the voters (so they wouldn't focus on the Senator's response) or it was merely meant as punishment, Joe's life was turned inside out for all of the world to see.

On the other hand, Senator Obama has several very troubling relationships that the voters are told we really don't need to know about. Issues like Williams Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, ACORN, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc., etc., etc. Naw, that's trivial stuff. What do you think he's doing? Running for the highest office in the country -- or in the world??? Naw, we don't need to know anything really.

Anyway. here is a piece by Pam Meister titled, "Joe the Plumber Vetted More Thoroughly Than Obama".

Wright 101 Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright’s anti-Americanism

Stanley Kurts begins writing like this:

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.

John McCain, take note. Obama’s tie to Wright is no longer a purely personal question (if it ever was one) about one man’s choice of his pastor. The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Wright’s anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy, and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.
