Trying to turn semi-literate Joe the non Plumber a journalist covering Israel because he agreed with some statement that a vote for Obama meant the death of Israel is like making Monica Lewinski a licensed sex therapist because she gave Clinton a blowjob… oh, wait she actually has some more experience in that field than Joe has in well, any of his fields actually… ::sigh::
Is anyone else annoyed that Joe gets these opportunities to travel and have people listen to him babble?
He actually said “I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting… You know, war is hell. And if you’re gonna sit there and say, ‘well, look at this atrocity,’ well you don’t know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it.”
Joe says the news should be biased. Fascinating.
I’ll take the extreme right conservative republicans seriously when they stop putting up people like Palin, Joe the Plumber and Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, et al., forward as spokespeople for their cause.
In fairness, I don’t take raving liberals seriously either however. And I do realize most republicans and democrats are more moderate in beliefs than the extreme factions.
Interesting how conservatives and NRA members howl when they feel their God given right to bear arms (and shoot them) is threatened but often want to deny women the right to choice because they have to protect the unborn’s rights and defend the death penalty. How about you protect all those people killed from gun violence in this country every day? Oh wait, guns don’t kill people, people kill people… Or maybe we could blame it on the bullets that kill people. Nah it couldn’t be those people… they’re just defending themselves. Yea, that’s the ticket. It’s not accidental shootings, children playing with guns, angry shootings of significant others, robberies gone wrong, suicides or murder suicides… nope gun control is always bad, bad, bad. Like fingerprinting, background checks, hard to get permits, mandatory safety training before getting a gun. It seems a little late to use mandatory sentencing after a gun is used in a crime. THAT isn’t working is it?
I’m so sick of circular reasoning. That and the idea that whoever yells the loudest to drown out others wins the argument. I seriously think this country needs to address the education problem before we get much dumber.
G’night, tomorrow off to the doctors. I guess my cold has turned into some kind of bronchitis or sinus infection. Ah well.
