David Hedrick, The Right's new Joe The Plumber, is Fox and Friends, new attempt at getting us to drink their Kool Aid.
The irony here, Hendrick is telling us he is a DISABLED Vet. That means he is enjoying health benefits through a government-run single-payer system.. (either TRICARE, which we use along with 9 million other people) or through Veterans Administration services. In addition, based on the level of his disability, he is eligible for Social Security payments. Hendrick is telling us he has a wife and child, so the question is whose health care benefits package did they use for the prenatal care, the delivery, and pediatric visits?
I've tried to find out if this guy is a retired Marine. I have found nothing. Yet, and very suspect, he is allowing them to call him "a former Marine." Any Marine will tell you there is no such thing as a "former" or "ex" Marine. Marines don’t do that. They are always Marines. They may be retired but they are always Marines. SEMPER Fidelis. ALWAYS Faithful.
Now that anti-reform tea baggers have been calling people Nazi's and showing up with posters of Obama looking like Hitler, this little wet rodent cries about someone calling them "brown shirts."
And "this is the straw which broke the camel's back?" What were the other issues. The reason none of the interviews with this new "Joe the Plumber" tells us what the other issues are is because they can't be mentioned in mixed company. I guess when they start talking about "taking their country back" they are merely upset the President is a little darker than they can stomach. It is all code and translates into tapping into America's Racism to win a corporate battle. Fox and friends are merely unleashing their troops of hate.
