'Joe the Plumber' strikes back at media
Express support of non-traditional education in a public forum? Prepare to be set upon by cyberstalkers, including bored physics profs, bankrupt medical equipment salesmen, preachers with 60 member congregations and variety of unemployed derelicts.
Start up an education business that competes with a judge's favorite college and you can go to jail for three years.
Poor Joe, he thought he lived in the land of the free.
Quote:"Joe the Plumber" is lashing out at the media for analyzing his personal life since he suddenly became a focal point of the presidential race last week....
Joe Wurzelbacher, a plumber from Holland, Ohio, told Mike Huckabee on his Fox News talk show Saturday that he is upset by the attention and has been unable to work with reporters crowded on his front lawn.
"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."
Quote:"You know, when you can't ask a question of your leaders anymore, that gets scary," he said.Joe the Plumber, welcome to the world of the "RA or the highway crowd." Do as they say, not as they do, and don't ask questions if you don't want trouble. The officious defenders of the higher education power structure and its multiple billion dollar endowments will stalk you, harass you, contact your employer, publish your home address and phone number, and try to get you convicted of trumped up charges.
