In other news, Joe the Plumber is an idiot. Why does the right keep giving this moron publicity (other than the fact that he makes Sarah Palin look erudite and nuanced?)

Someone explain to me why we elect people who have no desire to learn about history? Of all things that may help a politician, an understanding of history has to be near the top of the list.

And that's why he failed even as a plumber

/idiot is too stupid to even know which way shiat runs

if this idiot gets elected, they deserve whatever they get in Ohio.

Nadie_AZ: Of all things that may help a politician, an understanding of history has to be near the top of the list.

You mean, so they can better represent their constituents through a deeper understanding of the nature of government? That doesn't really bother a guy like Joe the clueless unlicensed plumber. Joe wants to be famous. Joe's backers love their guns. It doesn't go any deeper than that.

"...and 0bummer wants to take your guns! Therefore 0bummer caused the Holocaust!"

MaudlinMutantMollusk: And that's why he failed even as a plumber

Plumbing caused Auschwitz, after all.

Go Republicans go!

With great minds like this on your side, Romney is a sure bet in November!

Gun control?

Europe was into pogroms long before the widespread advent of reliable firearms. The popularity of killing off Jews stretches back to Rome, and probably even before that.

You just moved up a color, my friend. As soon as I finish cleaning off my keyboard....

ManateeGag: if this idiot gets elected, they deserve whatever they get in Ohio.

He's running in a heavily Democratic district (much of which is in Dennis Kucinich's old district), and knowing there's no way they could win, the Republicans didn't put up a serious candidate for that district, which is how he managed to get the nomination. He has about as much chance of getting elected as I do, and my name's not even on the ballot.

Just imagine if those Roman Jews had guns.

So..you're saying Ferdinand and Isabella want to take my guns?

Now buy my book.

All those Soviet soldiers the nazis gassed had a whole bunch of guns.

Big guns. Guns on tanks.

Why the fark are people still listening to and reporting on what this person says? This doesn't make you Republicans look any better. not that you could look any worse.

I GUARANTEE you that if they saw them, they would want to take them away from you. They were selfish pricks that way.

Let alone the Judean People's Front.

Marcus Aurelius: Let alone the Judean People's Front.

Don't you mean the People's Front of Judea?

WhyteRaven74: Marcus Aurelius: Let alone the Judean People's Front.

Don't you mean the People's Front of Judea?

You forgot to tell me to fark off! Which means you're not REALLY from the People's Front of Judea. You're with the Front of Judean Peoples, aren't you? Maggot?

And I thought that dude with the funny mustache was responsible. Silly me.

Obama doesn't have a mustache.

that's just what he wants you to believe. I demand to see his certificate of no mustache!

Charlie Chaplin was a saint, and I don't want to hear you speak badly about him ever again.

I was referring to Rollie Fingers.

If the Jews had just been packing Zyklon B this never would have happened.

Lets pretend for a minute that Joe the Plumber is correct, and that gun control did indeed cause the Holocaust.

So, what? Is anyone seriously proposing anything similar here? Is there a chance, however remote, that something like that would happen?

Must we remain vigilant, shooting at fruits and vegetables to let the government know that they won't take our guns?

No, its just another ridiculous strawman.

He'll probably win in a landslide.

Oops. Sorry. That's what I get for jumping to logical conclusions. And you're absolutely right, that guy was an attention whoring jerkwad. Too bad about all the Jews he killed too, but that's just water under the bridge at this point.

Blaming all your problems on a group of people other than your own, ramping up the rhetoric, demonizing them, referring to them as less than human, and letting this process continue for years is what caused the problem.

We are seeing the foundations of this in our own country to a small point.

Libs are causing all the problems...
Republicans are causing all the problems...
It's the poor who are leeches on the system, we should get rid of any social programs to help them...
It's the rich hoarding all the money and not hiring anybody...

It's all about demonizing the other instead of fixing the problem.

sweetmelissa31: If the Jews had just been packing Zyklon B this never would have happened.

I'm pretty sure that in the slave labor camps the Jews were packing MOST of the hazardous chemicals. Just not in the good way.

Daaaaaammmmnnnnn.

Satan's warming up a XXX Large thorny dildo for you in hell, my friend.

Well done.

It's not just The People having guns that keeps governments in line. Having a gun don't mean shiat. You can have a gun locked up in the safe wih a trigger-lock, and that won't scare a housecat let alone a trained US Marine intent on violating your property.
No, what keeps the government in lline are heros like George Zimmerman. People who will blow your farking head off for carrying a bag of Skittles. People like that are the reason we still have the right to vote, and we should thank them every day.

The solution is simple. Limit TV and radio news broadcasts to one hour, three times a day. Then the media won't have to fill a 24 hour news cycle with 23 hours of total crapola.

Problem solved.

I'm glad someone went out there and found out what Joe the Plumber thinks about something.

Seriously, Fark? This is what we get now? What the hell is wrong with you?

Has not-Joe not-The Plumber paid his back taxes yet?

Shouldn't we be calling him Sam the Liar, anyway?

Joe the Dumber

I think you mean Samuel Joseph Hussein Wurzelbacher, Subby.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: And that's why he failed even as a plumber

/idiot is too stupid to even know which way shiat runs

In fairness to him, he's one of the few people in the world for whom food goes up the anus, poop comes out the mouth. You have to forgive him his confusion.

I thought the holocaust was caused by the german's need to keep consumer goods output high while still diverting all production to war materials.

He also said Israel would get nuked if Obama became president when he was still on John & Sara's Travelin' Derp Tour.

He's clearly an expert on Jews.

Nadie_AZ: Someone explain to me why we elect people who have no desire to learn about history?

I'm pretty sure "Joe" the "Plumber" is not an elected official.

Edward I drowned the Jews on a sandbar by leaving them there when the tide came in therefore we need to explode the moon.

To be fair, that's not much of a college town.

OH Jesus H tapdancing titty farking balls deep in Mary Magdelene Christ crushing crackers on a pogo stick. This jackass is the reason I'm constantly defending my gun control views against people who more and more rightly view gun owners as lunatics. Way to make us all look bad, Joe.

Naturally, the NRA-ILA is going to tout this guy as a shining example of a gun owning citizen.

Not... That... That's a GOOD thing, we're just SAYING.

You know who really caused the Holocaust?
