Attention, Democrats: your mortal enemy has reared his head.  Joe the Plumber, AKA Samuel Wurzelbacher, is baaaaaaaack.

Back in 2008, Barack Obama for America fundraiser Helen Jones-Kelley—who was apparently also moonlighting as the director of the Ohio Jobs & Family Services—ordered a full investigation of Wurzelbacher in order to find any kind of dirt that Democrats could use to discredit him.

If you recall, Obama walked up to Wurzelbacher.  Wurzelbacher asked Obama how he felt about redistribution of wealth, and Obama responded that "spreading the wealth around" was a good thing.

Desperate to curry favor with her masters at the Barack Obama campaign, Jones-Kelley ordered a full background check on Wulzerbacher, a move that was soon ruled to be illegal by the Ohio Inspector General.

Governor Ted Strickland refused calls to fire Jones-Kelley , who was also later found to be breaking Ohio laws by conducting political business during state-owned computers.  In fact, the Strickland Administration still refuses to admit that Jones-Kelley acted improperly in any way, to this day.  Jones-Kelley finally resigned in December of 2009.

Two of Jones-Kelley’s lackies, ODJFS Assistant Director Fred L. Williams and ODJFS Director of Child Support Doug Thompson were also involved in the witch-hunt; Thompson was fired in December 2008, and Williams resigned in January 2009.

Fast-forward to today.  Wulzerbacher is suing Helen Jones-Kelley, Thompson and Williams, alleging that his confidential information was accessed improperly, as a form of retaliation for criticizing Jones-Kelley’s object of worship.  Current Ohio Attorney General Dick Cordray is defending them in federal court.  On your dime.

Yes.  You are paying Dick Cordray to defend the invasion of your personal privacy .  Say something that faceless bureaucrats don’t like?  You can get your personal records illegally searched , and Ted Strickland and his cast of clowns won’t bat an eye.

You may be asking why Attorney General Cordray is defending former state employees.  Ohio law states that the attorney general “shall represent and defend the officer or employee in any civil action instituted against the officer or employee," unless he or she determines that the employees "was acting manifestly outside the scope of his employment or official responsibilities, with malicious purpose, in bad faith , or in a wanton or reckless manner, the attorney general shall not represent and defend the officer or employee." (Ohio Revised Code, 109.361-109.365) My emphasis added.

Therefore we can infer that it is the official position of Dick that Jones-Kelley, et. al. did absolutely nothing wrong, and were in fact performing their jobs as servants of the public when they investigated the ObaMaster’s political enemies

That’s right.  It is the opinion of the state’s top lawyer—the guy who represents the State of Ohio in court—that the government has every right to search your background if it doesn’t like what you say.  And he’s going to spend your hard-earned tax money to fight to keep as the government as powerful and big possible.  You are a vassal to the State, in his opinion.

Outrageous.

Both the liberal AG (Aspiring Governor) candidate Mike DeWine and the Republican attorney general candidate Dave Yost have called for Cordray to withdraw from the case.

Apparently, Yost agrees with my analysis.  Yost said in an interview that "to take this case, the attorney general has to be able to say that what these three did was part of their jobs—and that’s not an argument you can make with a straight face."

Well, yes, but Cordray believes that no wrongdoing was done.  It was done for The One, and Cordray actively campaigned for Obama in 2008 Just like Jones-Kelley did.

The ends justify the means in Obama’s America, and that’s why Cordray is defending these criminals.
