From Media Matters for America:

Do the hosts of Fox News’ The Five really find it that hard to believe that a man attending a Donald Trump rally could believe that President Barack Obama is non-American Muslim?

...

“As far as Trump’s concerned with respect to this, I think that seems like a complete plant, it was a set up, it just sounds fake and phony and ridiculous,” Guilfoyle said of the man’s comments.

“It’s a joke, right?” Bolling agreed. “It’s almost comical the way it was delivered.”

MM nails this one - Somehow we are supposed to be shocked, shocked, that a person could stand up and spout that shit. And, oh, listen to his voice, or whatever, because it is impossible, impossible I tell you, for a random Joe the Plumber type loudmouth to be able to stand up at a public gathering and speak his mind.

What horsepucky. Oh, and "Why are there no pictures of the guy...."

1. Was that a comment on his intelligence, or a suggestion that "some evildoer" is "out to get"

The Donald??



I think I have potted plants with better thought processes...

4. How, pray tell, did Fox get him called on?

You do realize at these types of events, the candidate chooses who to call out of the many people looking to say something.

So, how do you "plant" someone with any reasonable confidence they will even get called?

There is nothing - NOTHING - to suggest this guy was anything other than a typical loudmouth that you can find in any bar in any town in the country.

Was "Joe the Plumber" a plant?

But, hey, we live in a world where people think the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Many of those kinds of people are devilishly good at using the internets.

6. I was not implying that the guy was a plant. I was implying he was one of their guys by their same

way of thinking, and rhetoric. So, he was one of them. I know he was not a plant. I will update to sarcasm.

3. In a few days we will know his name.

It won't take too long before we find out, there are most likely some reporters who already know and are now writing the story.
