'Joe the Plumber' Wouldn't Let a 'Queer' Anywhere Near His Children
Joe the-worst-kind-of-bigot Wurzelbacher said this in an interview in Christianity Today, via Think Progress:
CT: 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."

And so it goes. You ask a moron a question and this is what you get. Miss California is too stupid to really incite the kind of anger this guy makes me feel. Someone should just kick his ass already.

Can someone please try to track down some of the gay "friends" he claims to have, and ask for their reaction?

And I wouldn't want Joe anywhere near my children, either, unless it was part of a lesson about the blindness of bigotry.

Isn't his 15 minutes up yet?

I wouldn't let kids near ignorant morons such as "Joe".

i really doubt he has gay friends with his sort of views. jerk.

Such a wise an insightful man. EYEROLL. How can you call someone a friend and then say you'd never let them near your children?

This guy is a piece of shit. I think he cruised me at a rest stop last night. (I was not in drag)

Well, maybe now at least he has enough rope...

Why is this piece of sh*t still being interviewed?
Posted by: Karl | May 4, 2009 7:04:44 PM
This man is a disgusting sick piece of trash ... and I'd say HE fits his definition of "queer" more than ANY gay person I know.
Posted by: KFLO | May 4, 2009 7:07:02 PM
Can we please stop calling him Joe when everyone knows his actual name is Sam?
Posted by: Tom | May 4, 2009 7:08:10 PM
Joe who?
Posted by: Robert | May 4, 2009 7:10:32 PM
may he be blessed with gay children
Posted by: bill | May 4, 2009 7:12:47 PM
Like he knows even one gay person. The hell he does. Asshole.
Posted by: Jennifer | May 4, 2009 7:15:13 PM
why do we care what this dufus thinks anyway?
Posted by: NorthoftheBorder | May 4, 2009 7:21:10 PM
Isn't his 15 minutes up yet?! I mean damn...enough already!
What a loser! I can assure you that I wouldn’t allow Joe the plumber anywhere near my children. Not the influence that I want on my kids. Give it up already and go away!

That's it. I'm boycotting Mr. Clean products.
Posted by: crispy | May 4, 2009 7:30:42 PM
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere near him, he is brain cell repellent.

And another 1,000 moderate, thinking Republicans just became Democrats. Keep talking, Joe!
Posted by: zinc alloy | May 4, 2009 7:43:31 PM
Key word = had, meaning they're no longer his friends. I hope they're no longer his "friends".
Posted by: Rick in Cincinnati | May 4, 2009 7:46:31 PM
Who cares what he has to say? The more we talk about him, the more publicity he gets.
Posted by: Carise | May 4, 2009 7:48:37 PM
I guess he's still being interviewed, because it's so much fun for the media to get a ripe quote from some dumbass that's sure to instigate something. Call animal control, the dumb ass escaped.
