Joe The Plumber Suggests Lynching Chris Dodd

Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," has had his fifteen minutes of fame during the 2008 election and was widely expected to disappear when the candidate who brought him into the spotlight lost. But he's still a star in conservative circles -- and still saying some odd, hostile things. At an event Thursday for the Wisconsin chapter of Americans for Prosperity (one of the lead organizations behind the Tax Day Tea Parties), Wurzelbacher suggested Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) should be lynched.

Wurzelbacher has a reputation for being a blunt, politically incorrect speaker. Referring to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., more than once, Wurzelbacher asked, "Why hasn't he been strung up?"

Wurzelbacher appeared at a Tea Party in Michigan on April 15, where he claimed that he and other protesters were wrong labeled as extremists.

"I'm here for one reason and one reason only: It's 'I love America,'" Wurzelbacher told the crowd. "Mainstream media wants to paint us as a bunch of extremists, right? We're in search of liberty and our freedoms. What's so extreme about that?" (...)

"Let me give you another extremist view, 'In God We Trust,'" he said to wild applause. "Say that too loud in some parts of America and you will be shot. It's terrible." "'In God We Trust' ... too loud in some parts of America and you will be shot."

1. Joe Who?

Whoever he is (don't know, don't care), his 15 minutes were up months ago.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Another of the irrelevants from last years' election...

...who continue to squawk despite everyone's disinterest in hearing them speak. I always feared he'd hook up w/ Sarah Palin and breed a new generation of imbecilia.

3. Shot by who?

[jbnow]

4. Maybe shot by a person with a hangover who sleeps with a gun

but you woke them up by saying it too loud? In, of course, certain parts of America where people drink a lot and sleep with guns and really hate people waking them up with their loud voices.

That would be stupid of course but it is really the best of any explanation of what that very stupid man meant. What the f*** is he talking about. When has someone even been punched for saying "In God we trust"?

5. Funny, but I've never heard of anyone being assaulted or shot at

for professing belief.

But I have heard of people being murdered for being avowed NON-believers.
