Joe the Plumber: I used to beat people up behind my woodshed
Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 03:10 PM by Enrique
edit: he actually seems to be confessing to a violent past when he says "Those kind of people, I usually took behind the woodshed and just beat the livin’ tar out of ‘em."

:wtf: whom did he beat up behind his woodshed? When did he stop, did aggravated battery used to be legal in Ohio?


http://thinkprogress.org/2009/08/17/joe-the-plumber-rightonline/

WURZELBACHER: For Pelosi to write about us bein’ un-American and disprespectful — I’ll tell ya what: I respect nobody who lies to me and manipulates me and takes my money and puts my children in debt. They want me to be respectful toward them? Please!…You know, I’m not the most civilized person: Those kind of people, I usually took behind the woodshed and just beat the livin’ tar out of ‘em.

(...)

Joe reiterated his statement in an interview with Stan after his speech:

STAN: There’s a lot of talk about fears of violence in these town hall meetings, and you know there was a guy who showed up with a gun strapped to his leg in New Hampshire — and I’m wondering what you have to say to that narrative?

WURZELBACHER: Let me start off by saying that I don’t advocate the violence, however, that being said, Congress has been lying to us for years. They take advantage of us, they manipulate us, and years ago people like that would’ve been taken behind the woodshed and slapped upside the head a couple times. I’m not telling people to go out and do that and I don’t advocate that if we can make our point through facts.

3. Congress has been lying for years, Sam? Er, Joe?
He does remember who was running Congress for most of the run-up of deficits during the Bush years, doesn't he? What am I saying, of course he doesn't.

4. Well, Joe, I don't believe in violence either, but I really would like
to kick the shit out of you, just 'cause I don't like you.

Hmmmm, doesn't make any more sense when I say it.

I have an idea, Joe. Why don't you and Caribou Barbie just fade off into the sunset, okay?

5. " I don’t advocate that *IF* we can make our point through facts."
Notice that little "if" there? They obviously cannot make their point through facts, so... I guess we know where he stands.

Fucking meat heads. Who decided to give them the keys to our country anyway?

9. "I don’t advocate that (violence) IF we can make our point through facts."
In other words IF "they cannot make their point through facts", then violence is ok. That is how it comes out following Joe the Plumber's Helper's logic.

14. The "Rightonline" convention in which he spoke was on CSpan this weekend-
-and what a pathetic affair it was. Nevertheless, it WAS the funniest thing on TV late Saturday evening.

15. Makes me almost long for the days when I was a rowdy drinker --
this is just the kind of guy in whose face I'd throw a drink. (One of my favorite things to do.)
