Joe The Plumber.



you thought he was gone? nope. Our conservative hero, the unlicensed Everyman from Ohio, is now a crack reporter for conservative news blog Pajamas Media covering the war in Israel. His mission, he says, is to "report it and then let you make your opinion"

i suspect he thinks he came up with that on his own.

well, enough commentary. His own words speak volumes.

Quote :

"I'll be honest with you. I don't think journalists should be anywhere allowed war (sic). I mean, you guys report where our troops are at. You report what's happening day to day. You make a big deal out of it. I think it's asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II when you'd go to the theater and you'd see your troops on, you know, the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for them. Now everyone's got an opinion and wants to downer–and down soldiers. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers. I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell. And if you're gonna sit there and say, "Well look at this atrocity," well you don't know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it. --http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/01/a_media_ban_would_do_average_j.asp "

Better still, he tries to pick a fight with a reporter from Reuters. Who is an Israeli.

Quote :

" JOE THE PLUMBER: Quite honestly, I'm not real happy with any of you guys ... you, where are you from? REUTERS' REPORTER: Reuters. JOE: Reuters, eh? REPORTER: Yeah. JOE: Okay, you guys want a story? Yeah? The story here is people are being killed and the media's slanting it and trying to make it Hamas is, uh, as far as, that Israel's being bad. Do you believe Israel is bad? REPORTER: Do I believe it? JOE: Yeah, do you?! REPORTER: I'm Israeli, so... JOE: So answer the question! REPORTER: No, I don't think Israel is bad. JOE: Do you think Israel has every right to protect itself? REPORTER: Yeah. [confused pause] JOE: You do?! REPORTER: Yeah. JOE: Have you said that on air? REPORTER: Uh... I'm just a reporter. "

Best of all, it's on video: http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=video&media-id=3857&video-id=1165

woo america!

I'm glad that finally we'll get the moron-perspective on what's going on there.

I love his philosophy on not reporting atrocities, though. "These librul journalists are getting their asses in the air about a couple of dead mud bloods CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE IT"

1/13/2009 7:35:32 AM

at least he'll make world news more fun and interesting.

1/13/2009 8:50:36 AM

fun and interesting in the same way that watching a quadriplegic retard drool all over himself is fun and interesting.

War was a lot easier when we could all watch the propaganda on movie screens. Now we have the press which forces us all to think critically! It's all so hard!
