Free Republic

Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, has a few choice words for “America’s Sweetheart”, Megyn Kelly. It all started when Politico’s Roger Simon published a blog entitled, “Government Shutdown Unleashes Racism”. Simon based his article on a piece that was supposedly written by Joe called,“ America Needs a White Republican President”. The only problem? Joe did not write the piece; he only posted the aggregated version on his website. The real author is Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere who, by the way, just happens to be black. Kevin provided a satirical and relevant look at how the policies of...

Megyn Kelly – I eagerly await your apology, retraction, whatever you want to call it, regarding the libelous insinuations you made last night (Tuesday, Oct 15) against Joe (“Joe the Plumber”) Wurzelbacher’s “bizarre” (your word) article about electing a “White Republican”. As I’m sure you probably now know, the column you sloppily referenced and misrepresented as Joe W.’s work was, in fact, a tongue-in-cheek piece written by a BLACK conservative, which Joe W. merely included on his news/opinion website. He didn’t write it. Your clear, snarky implication that he was guilty of racism is slander — again, a BLACK conservative...

Things are not going as planned for the Obama administration. The millions of new jobs President Obama guaranteed have not materialized. Furthermore, the gazillion dollars of "stimulus money" Congress gave the President as a gift to spend however his fancy leads him somehow isn't actually finding its way into the economy. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman says the problem is we aren't spending ever more money that we don't have. Obviously we need more money. But where are we going to get it? I think I know. Forbes just published its list of the 100 "most powerful" (not necessarily...

Joe Wurzelbacher probably didn’t intend to draw the wrath of the elite when he gave an interview to Christianity Today. But the fiery thunderbolts hurled from our cultural Olympus are crashing all around Joe the Plumber now. “I've had some friends that are actually homosexual,” Wurzelbacher said. “And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.” In a free country, we are told, everybody has a right to their own opinion. Wurzelbacher is quickly learning that, according to the American elite, what you actually have a right to is...

Some liberal idiot in a DC area radio & TV industry blog is challenging me saying that Nancy Pelosi's book has sold more copies than Joe the Plumber's book. I beg to differ. How do I find book sales & stats? HELP!

Live From Sderot: It's Joe the Plumber! January 12, 2009 Posted by John at 2:42 PM PJTV is the most ambitious effort yet launched to offer an alternative to "mainstream" coverage of the news. It is, no doubt, a long shot; but then, nearly every successful venture started out as a long shot. One thing PJTV has going for it is superb video streaming technology--the best I've seen, actually. And it's got Paul and me, who have been doing a more-or-less-weekly "Power Line Report." So far, PJTV's biggest PR coup has been sending Joe Wurzelbacher--Joe the Plumber--to Israel to report...

As I have stated previously on my blog, I strongly support Israel's right to exist and right to self defense. Many of the articles that I have linked to are stirring and well-written texts that make a strong and reasonable case for Israel in the current conflict. However, sometimes you need more than just text. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words; and a video is worth ten thousand. The video reports on the PJTV.com web site about the Middle East Conflict, and specifically those from Joe Wurzelbacher definitely fit into the category of a video being worth ten...

Pajamas TV sent Joe to Israel to cover the conflict in Gaza from a genuine citizen reporter’s perspective, and that is exactly what we have gotten from him: reports that contain a moral and personal perspective that while present in a professional reporter would most certainly be transparent. Not so with Joe’s reporting. Like Lincoln’s plain manner of speaking, Joe’s commentary is still unvarnished; it still “has the bark on” as the phrase was applied to Lincoln. And if anyone reading this immediately jumps to the conclusion that I am comparing Joe Wurzelbacher to Abraham Lincoln, you have a perfect...

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter's notebook.

Larry Elder is scheduled to interview Joe the Plumber in a few minutes.

The mainstream media began a frenzied investigation of Joe the Plumber this week. His "high crime" wasn't anything he said. Instead Joe the Plumber has earned the ire of the MSM because of what Barack Obama said to him, namely that he wanted to "share the wealth." As a result of inadvertently revealing his collectivist yearnings to Joe the Plumber, the latter gentleman is having every last detail of his background investigated including his modest tax lien and the fact that (gasp!) his first name isn't really Joe. That last charge is actually quite laughable since there are probably millions...

Hi all...my first vanity...sorry. But the way the Obama campaign and the media are treating Joe the Plumber is really making me mad, so a buddy of mine had the idea to create a graphic to show solidarity...so here's what I came up with. This is a graphic that you can download in hi-res as a pdf or jpeg to print signs, shirts, bumperstickers, whatever. This needs to be out there to support JTP.Feel free to host these images wherever else you want to get this out to as many people before the election as possible.Download hi-res jpegDownload .pdf

First, a pre-emptive apology for the intentional non-humor to follow. I promise that all future non-humor will be strictly unintentional. We've all witnessed a lot of insanity in American politics over the last few years. Up until the last few days, none of it has seriously bothered me; hey, just more grist for the satire mill. But after witnessing the media's blitzkreig on Joe 'the Plumber' Wurzelbacher, I can only muster anger, and no small amount of fear... More

In the third presidential debate, McCain referred to Obama as Senator Government, an obvious slip of the tongue, but nevertheless somewhat appropriate as a characterization of his policies and underlying ideology. Joe, “the Plumber”, Wurzelbacher was referred to and even directly addressed quite frequently during the debate by both candidates. . . . “Senator Government vs. Joe The Plumber” highlights the choice in front of Americans in this election. It is a choice between an ideology undergirded by Capitalism and an ideology undergirded by Socialism. . . . Obama had significant involvement with socialists during his time in the Illinois...

As soon as I heard the name "Joe the Plumber" invoked at last night's debate, I just KNEW the DUmmies and KOmmies would be sure to slam him by attempting to dig up dirt. I was not disappointed when I checked those sites this morning. First we see the slams in DUmmieland at this THREAD tenderly titled, "Hey, Joe 'The Dumbass' Plumber. Listen up!" Yeah, Joe, you need to be hectored by a bunch of socialist DUmmies to tell you how the world works from deep within their mommy's basement. The KOmmie THREAD has the completely (as we shall...

Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) seems to have committed a Thought Crime in the eyes of the leftwing Blogosphere by daring to question the Lightworker. As a result, and because his name was brought up several times by John McCain at the debate last night, Joe the Plumber has been the subject of a lot of rage at both the Democratic Underground and the Daily Kos. The title of the DU thread alone tells you just how angry the left is: "Hey, Joe 'The Dumbass' Plumber. Listen up!" And the Daily Kos thread is flat out incorrect: "'Joe the Plumber'"...

The title of this piece — “His invisible friend Joe the Plumber” — comes from a line with which MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann started his late-night post-debate broadcast on Wednesday night. The problem with the host’s description is that Joe the Plumber is anything but invisible. To the taxman. Now, to the candidates. I don’t know if Joe the Plumber will win the election for John McCain. But he should. Because in the end this election is all about freedom. And Senator Government is not. Joe the Plumber, as everyone by the end of this weekend is liable to know, is...

Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man looking to buy a plumbing business, came to symbolize the notion of spreading the wealth in Wednesday night's third and final presidential debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. Earlier this week, when Wurzelbacher got a chance to speak with Obama during a campaign appearance in Toledo, he told Obama that his tax plan would keep him from buying the business that currently employs him. Sensing an opportunity during the debate, McCain cited that exchange when the candidates were asked to explain why their economic plans are better than their opponent's. McCain said...
