Government computers used to find information on Joe the Plumber

[Liberty]

"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.
Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

I guess now we know why Joe the Plumber is scared for America.

Well considering that Obama's attack dogs were on him the moment after that phrase was uttered, PLUS a baldfaced lie from Obama's campaign manager in Ohio, seems well, fishy.

Oh yeah I've noticed a lot's going down in that state. I think people are kind of getting suspicious of the shennanigans there.

Scary isn't it?? A private citizen asks a question and this happens. Heaven help us all if this guy gets in.

And to think that according to the Left, we're the fascists.

Ever notice that the very things they accuse us of are the very things that they themselves are doing.

I'll tell you these idiots are comeing perilously close to touching off civil unrest. They do not need to be making light of Joe's rights, or anyone elses for that matter, advice to them would be to stand down before they are in over thier heads. There are patriots in this country, by the millions that are only going to sit in silence for so long.
It is one thing for candidates to get on t.v and lie through thier teeth about issues, it is another for them to unleash socialistic attack dogs on the working class and they had better knock it off!!
Buckle up folks, for alot of people this is going to get rough, I can see it coming, if Osama bin buttwipe wins, this is just a foretaste of things to come, gestapo tactics will probably become common place if this is how this cowardice piece of dung wants to campaign. Imagine how he will attempt to run the country. Should McCain win there will be civil unrest because liberals are going to flip out. Big time, so buckle up, either scenario is gonna be tough. Hitler had volunteers that came out of the woodwork to do his dirty work, they were on trial until fairly recent, I'm sure Obama will have his fair share of nooseholders also. It may be time for conservatives to stand opposed, loudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone show me a socialist or communist government that doesn't use these tactics?(Not to be confused with strategy. Ill get to that in a moment)
Google lenin or Hitler quotes and you will find these people are the same.
This is why its so important to reeducate and educate the people about Thomas Jefferson.
Civil unrest only benefits them when the battles are fought with media and votes. But all the hate they teach ultimately will be their undoing. Sad only after a lot of unrest.

Its amazing how history repeats itself until you understand there is one constant in history- human nature.
Simple questions aren't asked. History is forgotten.
Why did the American revolution happen? Even some people who understand taxation limit it to"taxation without representation" not realizing that was one event and the history skewed to the belief pure democracy was the cure.
People forget Nazis were national socialists and that's what a fascist really was. Nazis were no different than democrats in every campaign tactic looking for the same end.

Acorn is an example of the end justifies the means by Vladimir Lenin. Its merely a symptom of a bigger disease.

Freedom is paid for by the blood of heros and tyrants. Right now the media is the bullets. Joe is a hero and hasn't backed down from fear. Gotta love those Ohio country boys. He's the first in a growing movement that has lacked leadership against the onslaught of the media.

Joes drivers lisence being pulled three times by suspect individuals should send us all a loud signal. I cannot believe they are keying on a small time working class individual, what gall. Your right these are tactics used in the past, but not our past, this is unprecedented for the red, white and blue. It makes you want to find a liberal and make them black and blue.

It sickens me, I hope the find and prosecute each and everyone who was responsible for this. I have said it over and over again, the left is all about freedom and rights, as long as you believe exactly as they do, stray from their dogma and they make Stalin look like Gandhi.
