Meet the mascot of the "new" Republican party

Joe the Plumber on "queers": "I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children"


by John Aravosis (DC) on 5/04/2009 08:45:00 PM

Yes, meet the mascot of the "new" Republican party. He's just as bigoted, angry, and intolerant as the old Republican party:
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.

1. Joe the Homophobe.
That is a fitting moniker. Joe the Asshole works as well.

7. I hope none of his kids are gay.
I doubt he would be accepting of them and these words would hurt them.
