Joe The Plumber Slurs Gay People: I Would Never Let "Queers" Near My Children

Joe the Plumber, aka Samuel Wurzelbacher, sat down for an lengthy interview with Christianity Today to discuss his views on the future of the Republican party. Wurzelbacher took the opportunity to speak out against gay marriage, which he says is wrong. The unlikely conservative spokesman went so far as to say he doesn't allow openly gay people "anywhere near" his children.

The word "queer," Wurzelbacher noted, "means strange and unusual."

Christianity Today: 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.

In the vein of George W. Bush and Michael Steele, Joe the Plumber also indicated that he wouldn't run for public office until the Lord had given him a cue. "God hasn't said, 'Joe, I want you to run.' I feel more important to just encourage people to get involved, one way or another. If I can inspire some leaders, that would be great." Joe added: "I don't know if I want to be a leader."

Joe, I wouldn't let children near you!

or self-righteous a$$holes.

His name's Neal Horsley, and you guys probably have a lot in common."

support going and he's whining about others? Ban divorce and 'save' marriage, you bigot.

and get to them talk about -- Gays! We need to protect our marriages from gays! Children need a mother and a father!

The embodiment of the modern Republican Party.
Palin and the Plumber in 2012!

Because he spends his time . . . Oh, just because.

of the "Average Joe"?

He's always been a self-aggrandizing fraud, but now he is a self-aggrandizing intolerant STUPID fraud.

Good job GOP! Make sure you have him as your mascot at EVERY appearance. John McCain, do you see how venal your pandering is? This is the guy you wanted to represent YOUR campaign!!!!!

Their last ditch effort to make McCain appeal to the average American will become the biggest albatross to the party other than Palin.

Neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

:rofl:

and isn't he proud!

What an asshole.

"Stop embarrassing me. Kthnx."

... you could easily call Republicans "queer" using his definition.

HEY EVERYBODY!!!! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FULL OF QUEERS!!!! DON"T LET THEM NEAR YOUR KIDS!!!!

Walking emblem for American stupidity.

If my father was like him, I would change my name as soon as I was able to, in order to keep from the embarrassment.

You're not even a PLUMBER, never had a BUSINESS, everything you've said is a FAKE, and YOU wonder why we make fun of you and DESPISE you.

Poor you...

Did I mention you're an ASSHOLE - and it's not a slur because I say it isn't - just that you're an ASSHOLE...

All three girls are second degree black belts. If he laid one hand on one of them - well, let the fun begin.

has kept Joe from becoming a real plumber.
Plumbing: It's Just Like Broadway

Not kidding. :-)

Joe the asshole leaving his wife.

Too bad.

he just doesnt know it.

Looks like you're off-limits, Joe.
You fucking prick.

:wtf:

I really hope he runs for something meaningful. The Democratic Party has few friends as valuable as a guy like Joe, who is openly homophobic in the 21st century.

Yeah, that'll work, Joe.

Looks like 2010 is gonna be another good year for Democrats.

ps - anyone who drops a 'queer' blast these days needs to meet Matthew Shepard's mom.

And these despicable bastards, serving life in prison without parole:

Joe near my children.

Oh for fuck's sake.

I'd want Joe far, far away from children, small defenseless animals and anything combination of materials that could start a fire.

Just before they tied the ropes to him -- like they do to the balloons in the Macy's Parade.

with a face in this picture. It made me laugh out loud.

As opposed to others who were only figuratively homosexual?


I've read some goofy shit from the mouths of assholes who were actually human. Or vice versa. This Joe guy qualifies.

:eyes: :grr: :puke:

would create a vortex of dumb that could cause a rift in the space-time continuum.

....you know, eating shrimp and making sure women don't wear men's clothing.

If not, he's just a moronic ass.

I hate when people use the "God said" stuff and ignore 90% of it.

according to the Bible. That is why Orthodox Jews have those braids at the temples and why Rastas have dreads. Shaved head=abomination. Not sure but I think it is a stoning offense as well.

a leader and a spokesperson is all the evidence anyone should need of their total disintegration as a serious party.

friend who just happens to be a lesbian but I still love her although I don't condone her choices" must all go to the same fictional gay bar that doesn't exist because EITHER DO THEY GODDAMMIT.

"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."

:eyes:

what an ass :grr:

:shrug:

Is anyone really surprised by this folks?

At last.

Front page news, folks.

Why aren't his 15 minutes of fame over yet??!!

Combined, well...

I give you JOE the PLUNGER

Give them every occasion to spew their ignorance, so that everyone else can see them for the hate-filled barbarians that they are. I can think of no better tactic for their elimination.

that filth like Joe The Plumber should do to best serve their country.

How did he put it?

Oh Yes:

"Kill Yourself."

"Seriously."

I find it highly appropriate in describing anyone who falls out the common denominator of society--whether it's someone like Willa Cather who never identified herself as a lesbian, Paula Poundstone who describes herself as asexual, etc., etc. The world is full of so many variations.

still promote hate under the guise of a political party. The Republican Party is dead and has been replaced by extremist nut jobs.

and bigoted things.

What an asshole.

in the long run.

please tell Joe/Sam 'I want you to run.' Because that would be a hoot to watch.

So, if we take Joe at his word, he went to the dictionary to look up "queer." First, I have trouble believing that Joe has been near a dictionary in quite some time. However, why would he do that? What would prompt him to go to a dictionary to look up "queer?" Did he know he was going to use the term in some context and wanted to be absolutely sure of what it meant.

That's just so -- dare I say it -- queer.

...and labeled with hateful words?

IMO...probably.

I was under the impression that he was the typical sterile woman-fearing sexophobe from freeperland.

I wouldn't do a thing like piss on your shoes. Moi? Perish the thought.

with him making clear that they weren't allowed near his children...

:eyes:

Who the fuck cares what his opinion on ANYTHING is?


If I can inspire some leaders, that would be great. :spray: :rofl: :puke:

I don't know if I want to be a leader. :eyes:
