Joe the Plumber Live in Gaza.

[Spyder]

I don't know if he's even smart enough to realize he's being a hypocrite. Seriously, whenever I see him speak I am struck with the overwhelming impression that he has the intelligence of a turnip.

Joe is the working man's thinking man.

[SirNitram]

Frankly, Joe seems to be a part of the childish GOP strategy to do some things for no other reason than they think it'll piss off a liberal.

[Ender]

More "Joe". It's like an Onion video.

JOE: The story here is people are being killed and the media's slanting it and trying to make it Hamas is, uh, as far as, that Israel's being bad. Do you believe Israel is bad?
REPORTER: Do I believe it?
JOE: Yeah, do you?!
REPORTER: I'm Israeli, so...
JOE: So answer the question!

[Darth Wong]

You can tell he is just barely refraining from using the terms "good guys" and "bad guys", like an eight year old child.

I lol-ed move over the "I'm not the story, I'm not the story, wanna story, I'm not a story." crap. It screams 'pay attention to me, I'm not conceited.

Is the man constantly that bad at speaking and using his own native language? And is he honestly that thick?

[Uraniun235]

This is hilarious on it's own.

"I'll be honest with you. I don't think journalists should be anywhere allowed war. I mean, you guys report where our troops are at. You report what's happening day to day. You make a big deal out of it. I-I think it's asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II when you'd go to the theater and you'd see your troops on, you know, the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for'em. Now everyone's got an opinion and wants to downer--and down soldiers. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers. I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell. And if you're gonna sit there and say, 'Well look at this atrocity,' well you don't know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it."

So no one should go in except as a fluffer for the military propaganda corps. Also, he has no business reporting on the war. Hypocrisy, the new GOP value.

"Joe" the "plumber": "People should be excited and happy that their loved ones are going to hell."

[SirNitram]

More crazy! Honestly, this amuses me.

WURZELBACHER: you don’t need to see what’s happening every day, that’s my personal opinion, you don’t have to share it. But, you know, okay, you don’t have to see, you know, 800 dead, 801 dead. It’s like they drill that in your head. … They want you to sit there saying there are so many people dying. You know these are large, these are numbers, you know I don’t want to take away from that. Let me, uh, think about how to say that again. Just essentially, they keep drilling it into your head, newscast after newscast after newscast.

I think the military should decide what information to give the media and then the media can release it to the public. I don’t believe they need to be in the front lines with soldiers, I don’t believe they need to, uh, you know, be bothering the military for information or for access to certain areas.

Samuel Wurzelbacher: You can only know what your lords and masters tell you.

[Pelranius]

Frankly, at this point I'm beginning to honestly think that Joe is actually a liberal mole infiltrating the right wing blogosphere to discredit them.

And who gets to decide our lords and masters? Despite the risk of coming near Godwin's Law, I'd say Goebbels would love this guy.

Today the news told about 14 dead Israelis vs 1000 Palestinians, of which 300(!) where children according to Unicef).

I find it really hard to see Israel as the Good Guys, mr. Joe Dipshit

Sadly, I've known enough blue-collar people to know that his level of thinking is not unusual among that demographic. Plenty of people are probably watching him and thinking "FINALLY! Somebody with some COMMON SENSE!"

People say the say thing about Ann Coulter but I see no evidence to support that.

[Zablorg]

I find it interesting that all these youtube videos about Joe, specifically that one, seem to gravitate comments and arguments about how an education really matters in journalism, which I guess is the driving force behind the Plumber. The idea that people like Joe can be successful journalists driving the patriotic charge probably gets them all excited.

[Wicked Pilot]

I don't suppose anyone knows who this guy's handlers are? You know, those who set up his travel, arranged for the interviews, and otherwise did all the leg work. Because I doubt his prior career pulling pube clogs out of toilets gave him the international know how to arrange these things on his own.

Has he actually snagged any juicy interviews, or is he mostly just talking to the press? If it's the latter, then he doesn't really need a lot of preparation: if he's being sent by any press organization then they would have issued him credentials and he can probably get into the major news conferences. They could probably just wire him messages telling him where to go and when. And then he gets interviewed because he has become a news story himself, and he's near where all the press is.

Augh
Talk about a smackdown. Is this a typical response for Rick Sanchez or did he outdone himself?

I've been waiting for something like this. Someone needs to stand up for real thejournalists that he's been shitting on. Hell, someone needs to stand up for the real plumbers that he's been shitting on.

I find it's best not to scroll down.

Not all of them. I noticed quite a few people that called JTP various not-very-nice things.
