>He became famous because of Obama's response to him, which was pretty much a socialist manifesto.

Not true. From what I can tell, nobody said anything about it before McCain did. ABC News, on whose program McCain mentioned Wurzelbacher the morning of the 14th, did do a fact-check on its blog a couple of hours later.

By the way, if you listen to the whole exchange (which I'm not sure I ever had before), it was a pretty reasonable exchange. And by the way, you're right -- eliminating the capital gains tax on small businesses really is "pretty much a socialist manifesto."

After that, Cavuto got Wurzelbacher on his show later that day.

But nothing really blew up until "Joe the Plumber" was mentioned 11 times during the debate.
