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.
Palin/Joe the Plumber 2012!

So…Joe the Plumber plans to beat the living tar out of Nancy Pelosi? While her secret service detail watches perhaps? That should be fun. Seriously, could you please stop giving that idiot airtime? He doesn’t need any additional blog coverage.

But at least he’s no longer a liar.

The excellent thing about Sarah (When Facebookers Attack) Palin is thatthis means she will be running for 2012…shooot…..she has already started..
Mebbe Obama excised the death panels to encourage her to run?
that is illin’.

I think there are places on Earth (perhaps Somalia?) where political discourse actually does work this way. I suspect Joe the Plumber wouldn’t last long there, despite being in his own fantasy world.

I don’t think this quite reaches the level of cognitive dissonance of Sarah Palin not quitting but quitting because she wanted to make a statement about media attacks on her family, but certainly the same ballpark, no?

Beating the tar out of San Fran Nan is not violence. It’s a “teachable moment.” As in “I’m gonna teach that &#$^%@ a thing or two with the back of my hand.”
Many Republican voters can relate to this.

Or you can try protesting against healthcare reform with some SEIU thugs present and, you know, actually DO get beat down.

@dom: You call that a beatdown? Hell, me and my buddies back in elementary school used to do worse than that to each other every day.
I guess it’s really true what they say about Republicans; they’re all crybabies.

No doubt.
Every wingnut I have ever known turned out to be all hat and no cattle when it came to displays of machismo. They are the most loudmouthed, obnoxious assholes that will turn, flee and cry “victim” when push comes to shove.
Real “tough guys” don’t have to constantly talk tough or talk about being tough. They just are.

Is that why progressives wanted to “Free the Jena 6” and made excuses for their actions?
After all they only sucker punched and kicked the crap out of the guy. But They only kicked the guy with sneakers and he was able to attend the prom later that night.

John,
It’s great to have you back. Doug, Tim, and Annie did a wonderful job in your absence.
I greatly respect your opinion, but I’ll stick with Palin/Bachmann 2012 – The Dimmer Sisters

Suddenly the guy is talking all country? He’s from Toledo. Not at all country. What a phony asshole.
PaminBB
I had the same thought as Rob in Denver – he’s got a woodshed? Really? And he has regularly taken people out behind them and “beat the livin’ tar out of ‘em”?
“Joe” seems to have a very active if rather sick fantasy life.

@John S.:
Bingo. In the working-class Bronx neighborhood where I grew up, the rule went “Never pick a fight with a smaller person. If they lose, you’re a bully—if they win, you’re a wimp.” This is also covered in OF MICE AND MEN, which I thought was still taught in junior high.
If Sam Wurzelbacher ever actually “confronted” Nancy Pelosi in person, I suspect she’d give him a hard stare (aka ‘the Granny Glare’) and he’d fall on his arse wailing about emotional trauma and unprovoked Demoncrat aggression. He’d lose a shoving match with Grahm Frost. He’d break out in a painful rash if left alone in the same room with a scary dark-skinned person like Whoopi Goldberg.
On the other hand, put a couple of these pathetic flapmouths together and it’s goodbye, Matthew Shepard. They always run in packs, because they don’t have the brains or the guts to survive on their own. That’s why the fReichtard/Talibangelical/Robber Baron Rethuglican Triangle has done so well among the Heartlanders™—the concept of a hive mind comes naturally to these insects.

Mock Joe all you want. He beat Obama in a debate. It was Joe’s iron gaze. Obama cracked, as evidenced by his shoulders shrugged forward in submission.

Wow, he must realllllly not respect Republicans then. What a tool.

So he’s not voting Republican anymore?

shelley matheis
Awwww, Bill. You still peddling that sack of rotten potatoes?
What’s with you and Joe’s ‘iron gaze’ business? Got a little man-crush going, do we?
Wurzelbacher lied about his name, position, hell, he even got the question wrong.
And in the same proud tradition, Katy Weber Abram, the woman who made that impression at Specter’s town meeting. She was on Hannity the other night, presented as a timid small town housewife who know’s nothing about politics but was suddenly galvanized by the healthcare socialist threat.
Surprise!
As noted by Joan Walsh, in Salon, “she’s a leader of the 9/12 group, setting up its networking site on Ning, greeting new members, inviting folks to events at her home and elsewhere – and last night, after her star turn, comparing her cause to that of Martin Luther King Jr.”
Of course, nobody’s saying there’s anything wrong with that. What’s fishy is , why so misrepresent yourself?

I’m putting $20 on Pelosi here. I’m also betting that the last thing Joe teh Plumber took out behind the woodshed to beat anything out of was his meat.
And it’ll probably be the next thing, too. The guy has got NOTHING but a punk mouth.

Amen, John. I used to be a “bouncer” at a redneck bar and even drunk almost all of them back down when you confront their “mouthyness”. Of course, after they’ve sobered up, a few of them would come gunning for me, but only after waiting a few days and only with some buddies to back them up. All bark, no bite. Sad little men.

If this is indicative of what all went on at that pathetic me-too right-wing “convention” in Pittsburgh (and I’m sure it is), that must have been quite a shindig.

I got $50 that says Wurzelbacher hasn’t been in, much less won, a fight since he was about 8 years old.
Not that that’s a bad thing, in fact it’s fine. It’s just another way for him to be full of sh*t.
For that matter, my guess is that he doesn’t have a freaking woodshed. People don’t, anymore.
It’s just a cute thing to say.
Assuming, of course, that “beating the tar out them” strikes you as cute. Apparently, for many folks, it does.

“Mock Joe all you want.”
Don’t mind if I do.

I’m gonna go with a variation: I’ll bet the last time Wurzelbacher won a fight, it was against an 8-year-old.

I’m thinking he’s reliving a bad memory, except he wasn’t the one doing the beating, and he probably got told he had a “purdy” mouth as opposed to a punk one.

Liberals are not afraid of JTP. If he had some mental or political understanding, or was an ubertrool, then we might be concerned.
Otherwise, he’s just a stooge and tool of Palin and the most idiotic part of the Reactionary Right.
