'Joe the Plumber': 'Put a fence on the damn border and start shooting'

[JonLP24]

PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- The man nicknamed "Joe the Plumber," during the 2008 presidential campaign told crowds in Prescott the solution to securing the border is putting up a fence and shooting at illegal crossers.

He first made the remarks Friday night at a campaign event for Republican state lawmaker Lori Klein, who is now running for a state House seat in District 1.

"For years I've said, you know, put a damn fence on the border, going to Mexico and start shooting," Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher told a crowd at a fundraising dinner.

He reiterated the comments the following day at a "Patriot Rally" with Klein, saying: "I'm running for Congress. How many congressmen or people running for Congress have you heard, put a fence up and start shooting? None? Well you heard it here first. Put troops on the border and start shooting, I bet that solves our immigration problem real quick."

1. Yeah Joe, then we'll all have jobs...

working at half of minimum wage with no benefits, no sick days and no vacation. The workers' paradise!

2. Classic Example Of A Media Whore...

Non-Joe the Non-Plumber is losing his ass against Marcy Kaptur and stands little chance of ever getting elected...so he's making the most out of his "fame" and his ability to soak the great unhinged for money. He's hoping someone in the corporate media slaps him down so he can run to faux noise and hate radio and beg for the bucks.

4. Stupid really should be immediately painful.

Fences and walls to keep people and ideas in or out of somewhere haven't worked too well in history.
The more obvious examples are China, Britain, and more recently Germany.

5. Usually when people are lined up by a fence

and someone starts shooting, the people are inside.

6. his intellect is only exceeded by his lack of plumbing skills

7. The fact that (Not) Joe the (Not a) Plumber is even Marcy Kaptur's opponent . . .

. . . is a sad, SAD commentary on America in 2012. SAD beyond belief.

8. Can we just put a dirty sock in Joe's mouth? Maybe some duct tape to hold it in?

9. I blame the media for ever giving this idiot face time.

They are responsible for making this dick nationally known. He's a ignorant clown and has no business running for public office of any kind.

10. Couldn't someone just stuff a plunger (used, of course) on his face to shut him up?
