Joe The Plumber: I Would Never Let "Queers" Near My Children

[romantico]

What a charming compassionate redneck! How can you say you have friends who are homosexual and then say you would not allow those friends near your kids? Joe the plumber, typical Republican in 2009!

Joe the Plumber, aka Samuel Wurzelbacher, sat down for an lengthy interview with Christianity Today to discuss his views on the future of the Republican party. Wurzelbacher took the opportunity to speak out against gay marriage, which he says is wrong. The unlikely conservative spokesman went so far as to say he doesn't allow openly gay people "anywhere near" his children.

The word "queer," Wurzelbacher noted, "means strange and unusual."

Christianity Today: In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?


Wurzelbacher: At a state level, it's up to them. I don't want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it's wrong. People don't understand the dictionary--it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do--what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we're supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they're people, and they're going to do their thing.

1. Well, I would never let that homophobic POS near MY children.

[Debi]

2. What a fuckwit. n/t

[Zomby Woof]

3. Fucking pile of excrement

So foul and vile not even flies would touch him.

[Happyhippychick]

4. Why do homophobes insist on telling people that they have gay friends?

[nomorenomore08]

12. I think they usually mean "gay acquaintances who secretly hate me."

:P

But I think it's just a way to try and avoid being seen as irrationally bigoted. As if saying that you don't run screaming when you encounter someone of a certain group makes you open-minded. :eyes:

[msongs]

5. christianity today = same crap for 2000 years. at least the taliban's only been at it a few dozen nt

[DebbieCDC]

6. The word Wurzelbacher "means stupid and douchbag"

It's in my personal dictionary.

[kestrel91316]

7. "......I've had some friends that are actually homosexual......"

I note with some irony the use of the PAST tense. I wonder why?

[tabatha]

8. Does he have children?

[Chemisse]

9. Yet another half-witted Republican spewing hate

When are they going to stop slashing their own wrists like this? To anyone with a wit of sense, they look like a party of morons and crazies.

[crim son]

10. The man has served his purpose as a symbol of all things ignorant

and should now subside into silence. It makes excellent sense, then, to find that he's being interviewed by Christianity Today. :sarcasm:

[FLAprogressive]

11. I'm impressed that S. Joseph Wurzelpooper even knows what a "dictionary" is.

[Democrats_win]

13. I guess they couldn't find a bigger discredited fool to interview now that Falwell is dead.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

14. Hopefully...

one day people will ignore douchebags such as that. It's giving them attention that keeps them going.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. well to be fair, i would not let him and his ilk near my children. ignorance can be contagious

so can bad grammar and sentence construction

[beyurslf]

16. I'd like to meet his "queer" friends. Anyone else smell that lie?

[LeftHander]

17. Yeah he would rather have a crazy redneck family....

That gets into fights with neighbors, have out of control kids that smoke dope, drink and leave trash all over the neighborhood. But keep those gay people away....

What a dumbass.

[Creideiki]

18. Joe's not the only one.

I've been told by people that think they're "progressive" that they're uncomfortable with gay people as their children's teachers and definitely don't want them babysitting their children.

Ah, progress. I hardly knew ye.

[SacredCow]

19. Palin/Wurzelbacher 2012

:popcorn:

Seriously- they're MADE for each other! You KNOW they'd end up having an affair!

[Left Is Write]

21. Well, there's a gruesome mental image.

[loyalkydem]

20. Bets on

How long it will be until he comes out as gay

[Creideiki]

22. I actually think I'd like to have my children spend sometime with him

That way when they get rebellious and don't want to do their homework, I can remind them of what stupid people who don't do their homework become.

[Crowman1979]

26. All this BS coming from a guy who looks like Jeff Gannon!

It makes you wonder what ole' Wurzel does on the side. When he say gay acquaintences, he actually means Johns!

[Crowman1979]

27. Damnit I posted it the wrong way

I was trying to respond to the article.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Wow, you're doing great in here!

[Duncan Grant]

23. Epithet you moron. The word you're looking for is epithet. "Queer" is an epithet.

I started to type a rant against this parasite but I realized you can't make someone wrong when they already are.

Why waste the keystrokes?

[keepCAblue]

24. During last night's "Make Me a Supermodel", bimbo Amanda said...

...it was nude shoot episode on MMAS last night and Amanda, the dimwit blonde from Banks, OR, explained that she is comfortable with her body and nudity because (paraphrasing), "I have a young son -- and, "no offense" but I don't want him to be gay, so I walk around the house and him naked as much as possible...

Eeeeewwww! That boy is so gonna need therapy.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. Why anyone expends the cost of ink on this man I will never understand.

What a tool!

[Jamastiene]

28. I would never let my children near Joe The Plumber. n/t

[donco6]

29. Surely his 15 minutes are long over.

Who cares what this halfwit has to say anymore?

[Mad_Dem_X]

30. What an ignorant asshole.

People like this make me ashamed to be straight.

[Crowman1979]

32. I keep wondering when Joe "The GOP prostitute" Wurzelfoker will go away!

Karl Rove called, he wants his top back!
