Congratulations all you Gold-Star Moms and Dads, your child must have been killed in because they just didn't love "teh Jesus" enough. So sayeth modern prophet and plunger-wrangler Joe the non-Plumber:


"I get to go over there and let their 'Average Joes' share their story, what they think, how they feel, especially with world opinion, maybe get a real story out there," (Wurzelbacher)said.

"If given the opportunity to do some good however minute it may be, or could be something really good, you gotta take that chance. You have to do it," he added, heroically.

Is he scared that one of the Hamas rockets might have his name on it? Not really. After all, as he explained, he's a Christian so God will keep him safe.

"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe," he said.

1. Surprise. A religiously insane Republican.

The arrogance is staggering, isn't it?

[Ian David]

2. You go, Joe! Get right in there in the thick of the action! Catch a rocket in your hands!

Isn't it cute how Fundies keep inadvertently proving Darwin was right?

[bullwinkle428]

3. Hey Joe...just keep talking, douchebag!

[YOY]

4. Butt fucking insane if he actually believes this.

I wonder if he can rationalize that God also gave him a brain so that he can avoid danger...or perhaps He/She/It didn't...

[verse18]

5. He doesn't even sound convinced himself.

"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe," he said.

[Ian David]

12. "Pretty well.... I believe..."

gOd will smite him for that.


"I find your lack of faith disturbing, Joe The Plumber. You have failed me for the last time."

[SidDithers]

18. Not even Jesus is safe...

Sid

[arcadian]

6. Does he have magic underwear?

n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. Hey Samuel, if you trust in God to protect you and stuff.......

Why didn't you ask Him for a plumbing license? :shrug:

[supernova]

8. Sweet Jesus he's stupid

But I do wish him well in that he might learn something.

[treestar]

9. Samuel's 15 minutes is past

And he's an idiot. (Well, sometimes those of us of Irish background like to state the obvious).

[Wapsie B]

10. While I do not want anyone to come home maimed or in a body bag

seems to me he's just daring the universe/deity of choice to make that happen.


So there have been no born-again Christians killed in action during combat? I thought all the heathens/liberals/queers were over here collecting welfare? :sarcasm:

[Vickers]

11. In that case, I'm sure we won't be seeing you in protective gear then...

:eyes:

Hey, you are military age "Joe" so why not take up arms and protect that country you are so proud of!



(psssst....*ahem* the USA)

:patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot::patriot:

13. I am so happy

that Obama has decided to placate these kooks. :eyes:

[CoffeeCat]

14. If God truly was protecting you, Joe...

...he would spontaneously combust every camera that you stand in front of--spewing your embarrassing drivel.

Face it Joe, God doesn't care that you make an ass of yourself.

[gratuitous]

15. How selfless . . .

Go for it, Sam. Here's your opportunity to do some good however minute it may be. Of course, volunteering at a food bank wouldn't have quite the cachet, and certainly you wouldn't have breathless reporters asking you deathless questions about it, although the chances are very, very good that you'd be doing some good.

It seems to me that Jesus had something to say about folks who make an ostentatious display of their alms-giving so that they could be seen and admired by others. What was it? Oh well, it's in the Bible somewhere, so I'm sure this will work out just peachy keen for Not Joe the Not a Plumber.

[dorkulon]

16. If only those heathens had found jesus, the bullets would have missed them!

:crazy:

[DainBramaged]

17. Being a Christian, God will "protect" you (guide you) if you aren't stupid

and you are stupid Joe the Stupid. So don't expect God to protect your ignorant ass.

[FSogol]

19. I swear, the GOP is prepping this clown for public office. n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

20. I can't think of anyone that I'd rather see go in harms way than Joe the Shill.

It's too bad he won't actually have someone shooting at him.

[Marr]

21. I guarantee you he'll stay well out of harm's way.

"Joe" isn't going to go near the danger spots, and he's certainly not going to interview any Palestinians, unless they agree with him.

[bobd0]

22. Surely Joe the non-Plumber has read:

"I returned and saw under the sun that—the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all" (Ecclesiastes 9:11)

Joe is living proof.

[Bill McBlueState]

26. now that's a verse I can get behind,

even as an atheist.

Actually seems to argue against traditional ideas of god.

[peekaloo]

23. pssst...you may wanna check that fine print in your policy Joe.

[dkofos]

24. Well, I won't laugh too hard when you come home in a body bag.

[RaleighNCDUer]

25. Hey, it's a win-win for him.

If he doesn't get blown up, his faith is vindicated. If he does, he won't be around to hear us say 'Now what do you think, dumbass?'.

[Javaman]

27. from joe the plumber to joe the bullet catcher...

this guy is a tools tool

[Marie26]

28. Good luck with that. nt

[spanone]

29. joe the fool...i'm sure his 15 minutes MUST be up

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. Has he ever heard of the word "martyr"?

Except that the word martyr, when used properly, usually entails some degree of honor and conviction, not attention seeking douchebaggery.

[AspenRose]

31. This is embarrassing.

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm embarrassed for him, since he can't be embarrassed for himself. x(

[Skidmore]

32. That idiot is walking talking human flatulence.
