I think whoever hired him should get their money back. And what's he doing there anyway? Yea, he's not the media.

2. We "for the most part don't care," to borrow a phrase from the
skinhead douchebag. Who paid his airfare? It better not be the U.S. taxpayers!

33. He flaunts his ignorance too and wears it on his sleave
Amazing.....

I love the way the interview starts......"I have so many questions, but I can't think of any.....oh yeah, why are you guys collecting all of this stuff?"

Geez, how insightful. Boy, that is some hard hitting reporting. I guess that is really what we can expect. But then he starts talking about how the media should not be involved in reporting on war. Yet, his only purpose there is to do just that. He is not even covering both sides. This guy is such a tool for hire.

The Americans only need to know happy-go-lucky stuff, not reality.

18. "The media reports on troop movements"? WTF?
Uhhh, Joe. Gaza is a shooting gallery. The people with tanks and heavy guns, that would be the Israelis. Those people over there with rocks, yeah, that the Palestinians.

The Gaza strip is about 4 miles wide with one main road. In other words, the Israelis are EVERYWHERE there.

Oh crap, now I've divulged their military secrets.

As for Israelis, I don't know why the America or Canada people should care ... :sarcasm:

Seriously, isn't he supposed to be the interviewer? I thought he was supposed to be finding out what the "Average Joes in Israel" think about different issues.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a picnic or something.

Edited on Sun Jan-11-09 09:58 PM by HEyHEY
First of all, that assfuck should know the media WAS in WW2. FUCKING Andy Rooney was on the beaches of Normandy for fuck sakes. I hope he gets fucking shot there and dies, I'm serious. "The Isreal" people? Doesn't even know how to say the name of the people of the country he's in. Can we email this fucking tit?

37. oh, no, I don't want him to get shot and die!!
I wouldn't want the opportunity for the idiots to hose sympathetic publicity for the dingleberry.

But, if he got his nuts caught in a public toilet seat, then accidentally killed himself trying to climb over the stall....... :evilgrin:

38. No one sent him to any kind of media training. Hell -Gannon took a journalism seminar
That was remarkably bad on every level.

40. Media in WWII
Edward Murrow covered the Blitz live from London. If you listen to a recording of one of his broadcasts during the blitz, you can actually hear bombs hitting and detonating in the background.
Ernie Pyle covered the invasions of North Africa, Italy, France, as well as a number of island invasions in the Pacific. He was killed on Okinawa.
Bill Mauldin documented the life of the average soldier through his cartoons, and was attached to front-line units in North Africa and Italy.
Walter Cronkite flew with the B-17s on bombing raids deep into Germany, landed with the 101st Airborne in a glider as part of Operation Market Garden, and covered the Battle of the Bulge.

All of these men were part of the "media" as Joe the Hack calls them, and each one could outreport Hack Wurtzelbacher on their very worst days.

FYI, there were women who covered WWII, and I have no doubt each and every one of them were far better reporters than Joe the Hack.

28. I'm just amazed this guy has a passport.
What the hell is he doing there? Is he an emissary of the republican party now? Or worse, the USA? I've met very few people in my life that are close to being as stupid as this man.
Just goes to show you, the American dream is alive and well. Anybody can become a respected political figure, anybody.
Anybody.

41. Stupidity is a plank in the RNC National Platform
When they foist individuals like Joe the Plumber on the American people, the Republican National Committee has officially adopted Stupidity and Ignorance as a plank in their national platform.

Better to be stupid and ignorant than smart and insightful, that is the RNC message.

Joe, those images you talked about coming up on the screen was collected by....MEDIA. If you had any stones, you would get yourself embedded with a front-line Israeli Infantry unit and go in with a camera, no weapon.
