Bonus wingnuttery: JTP claims he's always been in favor of paying taxes. Yeah.

[SpiralHawk]

1. Joe = typical republicon hypocrite

Ptoooey ...

[DS1]

2. Talk about the right-wing having no clothes

THIS is their new spokesperson? Nothing against plumbers but, A F*CKING PLUMBER?

[LosinIt]

3. What a tool!

My 15 minutes aren't up yet, are they?

[WarbirdForObama]

32. Absolutely

Make this Dildo with Ears go away

[ColbertWatcher]

42. Yes, he is. Joe the good boy. n/t

[KansDem]

4. Aren't this guy's 15 minutes up yet? Or has he taken someone else's 15 minutes too...

...giving him 30 minutes of fame? Perhaps he's spreading the "Warhol" around.

I wish he would have differentiated between welfare "use" and welfare "abuse." No doubt he would put himself into the "use" column...

[sattahipdeep]

5. Give the Money Back?

[Skinner]

6. The funny thing: I'm not surprised.

I will be so glad when this asshat goes away forever.

[wtmusic]

7. Dude has made a career out of being stupid

And they say there is no opportunity left in the US

[Kalifornia.Kid]

8. Village IDIOT on display.

[johnlal]

9. Reminds me of the "Life of Brian"

REG:
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

[SavageDem]

19. I think he said...

"Blessed are the cheesemakers."

[HopeHoops]

25. Or The Gumbies - "I think we should tax people who stand in water - AAAARRRGGHH!!!"

Even Monty Python would have had trouble coming up with a character as dumb as Joe.

[LynnTheDem]

10. "Joe" is AGAINST getting a TAX CUT. "JOE" still OWES his taxes.

"JOE" is as dumb as fuckin' dirt!

[IndependentDem]

11. this guy is sooooooooo lame.

:nuke:

[Blue For You]

12. This guy ain't ready for primetime. Joe the Tapdancer.

:eyes:

[amoreena]

13. make him go away

[BeamMeUpScotty0086]

14. Whenever I see this guy I think of Bugs Bunny...

"What a maroon!"

Could you imagine if he and Palin had kids? My word, the stupidity meter would be pegged as long as it could hold out until it exploded from the strain.

[Eric Condon]

15. "I've never been against paying taxes."

Wow, that's good to know, Sam. I'm glad to hear that you've "never been against" doing your duty as an American citizen. I guess now you'll try to show us how sensible and moderate you are by telling us you've "never been against" jury duty.

[bobd0]

16. This idiot finds a way to excuse himself being on welfare by saying

he paid into it? Does he have any idea how LITTLE he paid into welfare for the benefits he received? Does he realize that this is by his very own definition, and the definition of those other idiots, McCain/Palin, SOCIALISM? (Not that it is but I'm talking about THEIR OWN DEFINITION)

Then the jerk has the nerve to criticize others for "abusing" welfare???!

So when Samuel the non-plumber, tax evader, welfare recipient, takes welfare money it's OK in his mind but when others do it's abuse???!

What a total fraud, ignoramus, demagogue, typical Republican hypocrite fool.

[ann_american2004]

27. IT's typical projection

he hates himself. It is a necessary characteristic of Republicans. A person cannot get into the group without it.

[Kerrytravelers]

17. He knows about Karl Marx because he looked it up in the dictionary?

Oh, my. That is a mental giant there.

:eyes:

[HopeHoops]

24. Yes, but he can see Karl Marx from his house!

[CitizenPatriot]

30. and gthe thing was, he was so proud at that moment

it must have been the first time he used a dictionary.

why not the net, Joe??? Is that too liberal for ya'?

Oh lordy. One day he might even read something longer than a paragraph about socialism.

one day, maybe he'll even go to another country? read a book? the world is just....so full of possibilities when you start off so limited.

[Sorceress]

45. As a sociology major, that statement horrified me!

[daggahead]

18. Good bye Joe, you may now leave. n/t

[Hope And Change]

20. The more he goes on TV the more he makes a fool of himself.Some people never learn...

[Bette Noir]

21. Why is anyone listening to him?

Wasn't he the final, desperate tactic of a failed campaign?

[HopeHoops]

26. Keep in mind that the only place he ever shows up now is FOX - that should answer the question.

[The Wielding Truth]

38. It's like watching a dog caught in winter ice and no ones there to

help. Maybe he will circle his logic around so much he will save himself.....nah. It's more like watching a child protesting he had not taken any chocolate and it's all over his mouth.

It's a little entertaining to see such a simpleton.

[iamthebandfanman]

22. So joe will be returning his money from the tax cut then?

i mean, if hes a man of such great principle and all... surely he wouldnt use that money that got took outa the hard working wealthy in this countrys pocket now would he?

[asdjrocky]

23. We should keep Joe the Village Idiot around for the next 8 to 12 years.

He should become the spokesman for the pug party. This is the gift that keeps on giving.

[Zenlitened]

33. I totally agree. Want to know what's wrong with Conservatism...

... why it's completely bankrupt of any worthwhile ideas, and can only drag our nation down and never lift it up?

Here's "Joe."

[Plucketeer]

28. Couldn't we re-badge these idiots as Dumbo-crats

It's simply amazing to me that they'd waste valuable air time plumbing the vacuuous depths of this clown's head. It's no wonder he's bald. There's nothing under his scalp for any hair to root in!

[Roland99]

29. What an asshat. Typical dodge and weave and distract when asked a direct question.

[BayjanDem]

31. When is this putz

gonna go away????? Go Fuck yourself Joe. The worse thing about this guy is that he had a chance to rep the middleclass, the average "Joe." Instead he's turned into a misinformed, mugging, lying douche bag. A pawn on a losing game of chess.

[ejbr]

34. But it's okay for the rich to steal from the middle class and poor. What an asshole n/t

[Zombie2]

35. J.T.P. is a P.O.S.

:puke:

[newtothegame]

36. Fox News?

[The Wielding Truth]

37. And McC wanted to take him into the Whitehouse to help him

run the economy! Is there something as Hyper-ignorant? Joe the nonplumber is reasoning from a place of idiocy.

[mreilly]

39. Tar and feather this POS

... and ride him out of town on a rail. I never thought I'd see a bigger waste of space "celebrity" than Paris Hilton, but Joe the Plumber has managed that dubious feat. Famous for doing nothing of any value whatsoever; a pure embarrassment to the human race.

He simply HAS to be a liberal genius pretending to be a "plumber" for the sole purpose of making the GOP look like total imbeciles. Because if I sat down for a week and thought to myself "What's the best way I could expose the Republicans as total frauds and hypocrites and make them look so stupid nobody will vote for them for decades?" I couldn't come up with the gem for our side that has been "Joe the Plumber."

[bullimiami]

40. the dumb fuck doesnt know there is a difference between a political system and an economic system.

[jjewell]

41. If JTP has always been in favor of paying taxes,

Why is there a tax lien against his home?

[JI7]

43. this racist shit thinks he would be a millionaire if not for those who abuse welfare

he is typical of the ignorants who vote Republican thinking they are one of those top income groups and will benefit. when they don't benefit they think it's because of welfare.

[IntravenousDemilo]

44. WHAT IS IT WITH REPUBLICANS AND "PLUMBERS"?!!

First Watergate and now this goof...
