Investigating the Critics
“In what kind of nation, do the media investigate critics more than candidates?”
Rick at Classical Values investigates the media’s investigation of, yes, Joe the Plumber. Plenty of links, all the best quotes.
Rick asks a lot of great questions, including:
…Why is [the] private life of an aspiring small business owner of more interest than Barack Obama’s drug dealer?
Or for that matter, B. Hussein Obama’s political mentors, teachers, and associates?
Rick comments:
The way they have done a complete, invasive background check on this citizen is shocking. While few of us would withstand close scrutiny, what annoys me the most is that the dirt-digging has been done by the news media, and they have now essentially sicced the bureaucrats on this guy.
Rick ends with another question:
Well then, suppose I were to ask a question about my inability to ask a question? Something like this:
Senator Obama, if I were to ask you a tough question, why would my personal lifestyle be considered more worthy of investigation than yours?
Nah, I’d better not ask.
Wouldn’t want to be subject to an investigation.
Read the whole damning thing. Follow Rick’s links.
And ask yourself the question, “Why should I want this guy and his friends to be in control of my life? Why should I want to give this guy and his friends my banking and health care records? Why should I have to hesitate for even a second as to whether or not it’s safe to ask B. Hussein Obama what he plans to do with my life, once I hand him the keys?”
