"Fair game for what?" You tell me. It is your standard. "But when major mainstream media organizations do entire hit jobs on a private citizen who chooses to stick himself into the political process," What constitutes a hit job? Did they report anything that wasn't factual? Did they twist his positions? He wouldn't have been news if McCain hadn't of made him a centerpiece of that debate. "In any case, both you and Ted give nothing more than lip service against threats and vandalism" Again, I don't support vandalism and threats. I also don't support lies and distortions.

But when major mainstream media organizations do entire hit jobs on a private citizen who chooses to stick himself into the political process, that's when I cry foul. Especially when said mainstream media only does it to one side of the political spectrum, namely the right side. There's a level of professionalism that I expect from those carrying the mantle. Okay. Enough of this silliness........you apparently have a limited understanding of human nature. Joe the plumber or whatever the hell he is these days loves, loves, loves the media attention......good or bad. He was a nothing guy going no where and now he's known nationally. That has made his year. So please......save your tears for the poor in Detroit's inner city. They are the ones who deserve them, not Joe what's his name. In any case, both you and Ted give nothing more than lip service against threats and vandalism, then quickly shift the subject toward "lies and distortions." Wow, as if that's the only thing the supporters of Prop. 8 are suffering from. From what else are they suffering?
