that is all
You can't even make up that much stupid.
Obama was a socialist or communist? Hmmmm.
...grate.
I think plumbers should stop plumbing. After all, whenever they show up there's some kind of leak.
And that "they hate the troups" meme is the most infuriating of them. Go home, Joe. Go worship at your Alter of Rove.
Joe The Plumber and Sarah Palin in 2012.
Why do you continue to cover this moron? He's not intelligent, enlightening, or even entertaining. He hates America and most Americans, and he's barely literate.
In fact, this article has just made me stupider.
Didn't Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes expire a long time ago? Stop paying attention to this idiot!
I call for an end to plumbing and a return to shitting in a ditch next to the street. Clearly, indoor plumbing has obscured the true nature of taking a crap.
What language was he speaking?
Forever after, Joe the Plumber should be known as Joe the Halfwit.
'Joe the Dumber'? But I agree with the previous poster that said we should ignore this half-wit. It's just that when he speaks he is funnier than most commedians.
...let's not even do the guy the honor of referring to him as a "plumber." He isn't one. He doesn't have the credentials. It's an insult to hardworking plumbers everywhere, any of whom could run mental circles around this shit-for-brains douchenozzle.
This is good stuff.
and as such I shouldn't say anything but could this guy be covered on comedy central or funny or die or something? In that context I'd find him funny, in this one I just feel sad.
What a piece of shit.
I'll offer my advice as if this was a person worth having a discussion with, because others here may find themselves in that position with their in-laws or co-workers or whoever.
When people say that wartime reporting should be abolished in the interests of the war effort, I always think "Yeah, that worked real well for the Japanese and the Germans!" The German magazine "Signal" had photospreads and acrtoons and "fair and balanced coverage" of how well the German war effort was going right up until the Americans were crossing the Rhine and the Russians were massacring (perhaps I should say "countermassacring" or is that too Orwellian?) civilians in Prussia. Saburo Sakai, the Japanese ace, told in his autobiography "Samurai" how Japanese authorities trumpeted victory after victory until the American forces invaded the Marianas. Then, as he said, people across Japan opened their atlases and looked at globes and wondered how they could be defending teh Marianas if, as the government had told them, the Ameican fleets had been sunk.
Samuel Joel Wurzelbacher, if you're going to cite World War II as an example, you should remember that the anti-Roosevelt press kept up a steady drumbeat that the war was being bungled. Bill Mauldin said German propaganda leaflets regularly quoted the very Republican Chicago Tribune.
I'm not one to get too strident about things like this, and I was willing to give "Joe" the benefit of the doubt.
However, as a freelancer who has embedded twice with US soldiers in Iraq, and as an Army veteran myself, I have to say these are some of the most despicable comments I've seen in awhile.
His blather about World War II obviously overlooks Ernie Pyle, among one of many.
He has the right to his opinion, and even though it's completely Un-American, that's his business. Just as it's my business to say how absurd it is, and to hope he just keeps right on talking.
I am glad that Alex Koppelman wrote this up. It's absolutely vital that the most vile, anti-free press opinions of this bizarre person be publicized as best they can.
By deservedly destroying this person's credibility, it also harms the credibility of this 'Pajamas Media' organization that would actually send him to do 'reporting.' So the more notice he gets, the better.
This man, "Joe," needs to have his own words make him look absolutely as foolish and reprehensible as possible, at every opportunity. And anyone who employs him for their own purposes needs to look equally ridiculous.
So what the fuck is he doing there? Get him on the next plane home, or better yet, send him someplace where we won't have to hear about this idiot anymore.
And "Joe the Dumber" -- good one.
Yup, that's exactly what we need right now. Good old fashioned propaganda. Listening to this idiot is like listening to W. about foreign policy. Now W. doesn't know how democracy will even survive in the country he ordered to be invaded (watch his last press conference). Oh yes...I am so going to enjoy Palin/Plumber 2012. It's fun watching idiots try to make sense of their ignorance.
He's studying up for his propaganda-spewing venture by learning to "pronounciate" all those Middle Eastern names. Also, he thinks that he'll be perfectly safe there because he's a Christian and god will protect him. Kind of like the Crusaders I guess, right? I mean except for the part about them being massacred. Oh well. Try again, Joe the Dumber!
Basically JTP is saying. I want to believe in fiction (US is always right, Our troops never do anything wrong and always win the battle etc). Don't tell me about what's really happening, because it's a bummer. Well to JTP and all the other RWA's out there, REALITY IS A BITCH. Get used to it.
America obviously needs more of Joe the Plumber.
He would make a perfect anchorman and/or correspondent for Fox News to cover world and domestic affairs in the Obama Administration.
for the Know Nothing party.
Somehow, though, I can't think of a better person to represent modern CONservatives' relationship with reality.
Can anyone refer me to a journalist who can come over this afternoon?
"I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting."
So, what is Joe trying to do, be a target?
Hmm. Wonder what ole Joe would say if someone wanted to, you know, mess with that second amendment.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
