Who knew JtP had such a mad-on against the Republican party.
So… that they do go out and “do that” (shout opposing views down and intimidate with lies) pretty much shows they can’t make their point through facts.
“J”tP, the gift that keeps on giving.
You’re correct in that he shouldn’t be mad at Obama for telling him that he wants to spread the wealth around.
I think he’s been around leaded pipes too long … or not long enough.
”Those kind of people, I usually took behind the woodshed and just beat the livin’ tar out of ‘em.” – JTP
Hmm. That’s either assault or child abuse, your pick. Is it considered cherry picking when you can’t walk through the orchard without squashing cherries?
Fucking caveman.
Hurry up and evolve, Joe!
This is who they are. No ammount of look over there by con trolls will change that
Doesn’t really sound much different from Barry’s comments regarding guns and knifefights or really getting in thier faces does it?
Actually yes it does sound very different, ya toolbox.

I have always suspected that conservatives lacked the capacity for understanding metaphor.
Dennis: You’re correct in that he shouldn’t be mad at Obama for telling him that he wants to spread the wealth around.
Exactly. Because as an informed person who would never deliberately distort what someone was saying you certainly wouldn’t pick just three words out of a nearly six minute answer to “J”tP’s question and claim Obama was saying something that clearly he was not.
Sean, surely you’re not implying O Dubya isn’t an informed person for his right here picking a few words out of Joe the Plumber’s longer answer and claiming he said something that clearly he did not, are you?

The number of variations wingnuts can come up with for “Look, over there!” is amazing.
wingnut self-reflection, ladies and gents.
LOL,
Quaker,
Your statement about metaphors will not stand the light of day. You can do a little better than that.

Oh, I dunno. I think it holds up pretty well. Unless you people are just pretending.
I see you are unfamiliar with the term to take someone behind the woodshed.

I am, actually. I’ve just never before heard it paired with a proposal of “beating the living tar” out of someone or suggesting that someone needs to be “slapped upside the head” by a person who is self-admittedly “not the most civilized.”
Perhaps Mr. Wurzelbacher simply isn’t well practiced in the use of figurative speech.
AO: I see you are unfamiliar with the term to take someone behind the woodshed.
From it’s literal, metaphorical and situational meaning it’s a metaphor for beating someone up! “Take someone behind the woodshed” is euphemism for what happens behind the woodshed which is violence.
“Bring a gun to a knife fight” is a euphemism for coming to an argument with your best arguments ready.
So yeah, saying Joe the Loon was only being metaphorical doesn’t defend him because it’s the metaphor that makes it violence. I guess if your defence was that Joe just wanted to take Nancy around to show her a woodshed that he was very proud of then I guess you might have something.
All in all, seems like this guy has some violence issues if those are the only metaphors he’s capable of utilizing.
It’s not so much that JTP is an uncivilized buffoon. It’s that he was one of the chosen ones.
And why is Sam The Joe on radar again? Have we run out of American Idol winners or something? At least they sang for Christ’s sake. Can’t we ask them for about their politics for a change?
No Mike,
You’re wrong. It means not violence but punishment, usually corporal punishment.
Taking a gun to a knifefight is an illustration of “The Chicago way” Before Barry brought it into the limelight the last time the phrase got popular attention was in Sean Connery’s performance in the “Untouchables” It meant that instead of tit for tat you escalate the violence dramatically. Before that it was a line of Clint Eastwoods where he cooly shot down a man wielding a knife.
Taking a knife to a gunfight is what the wingnuts do here.
Very amusing when chickenhawks and Joe the Plumbers talk tough and have no tough-guy resumé to back it up.
LOL,
Not like a SEIU union guy., they not only talk the talk but walk the walk. A good thing we were born with an opposable thumb, tools and all that. You don’t have to be bigger just smarter, and have the right tools.
Did Joe Not-a-real-plumber even get his license yet?
But I look forward to him getting a visit from the Secret Service.
AO – and just what does the metaphor “and just beat the living hell out of them” mean?
I’ve heard the gun to a knife fight (or the inverse, don’t bring a knife to a gun fight) in a hundred different scenarios – none of them related to any kind of actual violence. Wherever it derived from, it is used in non-violent contexts today.
By the way, how in the hell is corporal punishment not violence?
He won’t Jaim. He’s a celebrity now; No one wants to arrest Sam the Joe, when everyone knows he’ll just bawl real loud about how he’s being oppressed for such a little thing. Just like Beck isn’t doing time either after mentioning he’d like to poison Pelosi, or kill Michael Moore.
Joe don’t mean nothin by it – he’s just a simple God fearing American who for some reason is still in national news being quoted for his political reactions, despite his lack of any sort of education on anything he actually sets out to discuss, any interest in actually developing this knowledge, or any coherence in his response. I mean, it’s a great gig if you can get it.
Joe keeps getting his face in the news because he is an excellent representative of the republican base in all its thuggish, ignorant, unenlightened self-interest. Here’s hoping we see more of Joe speaking up for oppressed right-wing assholes everywhere.
“By the way, how in the hell is corporal punishment not violence?”
Because it’s bogus morality.
Yes, the thuggish, ignorant, unenlightened bastards out for their own self-interests over that of their constituants is indeed the liberal pieces of dung that currently occupy the majority in congress and oral office.
Since you liberals nut-cases are so keen to throw around insults out of fear of actually discussing anything and being proven wrong, I thought Id return the favor.
AMused 0: You don’t have to be bigger just smarter, and have the right tools.
The guy who has to resort to making his point with a gun isn’t the smarter one.
Seeker, you’re right. We shouldn’t stoop to such crass insults, even when we disagree with what he says. Even when he says things that are borderline threatening. And especially if it makes no sense. So, let’s just quit it right now.
So, what do you think Seeker?
Joe The Plumber; Hot or Not?
