Re: Joe Plumber: Media Shouldn't Report War

[Micfri]

Two idiots plucked from obscruity whos planted opinions are consistantly wrong, Joe the plumber and Sarah Plain. Those are the two success stories of John McCain's horrendous campaign.

The contridiction was too much, people don't know anything about war, therefore they should judge and the media shouldn't report on the war so nobody can make an informed judgement in the same sentance?

He needs to be taken out behind a shed somewhere.

I hear ya !

Who asked him to go to Israel anyway ?

Is this the reason people are constantly complaining about waiting around for the plumber ? Get back to fixing my bathtub !

Because they're out and about reporting on wars ?

[sarcaz101]

Calling them idiots is insulting and a measure of your own arrogance. People don't know anything of war? Who may I ask fights them and dies in them then? I suppose you think you know all about it. If people don't know anything of war and you do, then what are you?

[ThermostatAgreeable]

Hey, I watched all of the Rambo movies !

[sarcaz101]

While I'm at it, The idiots are the ones currently serving in Congress. They are professional politicians who are there to serve themselves, not the People of the United States of America. Sarah Palin and Joe are regular Americans who would serve their country well with their common sense and lack of political baggage. They are the kind of people we need to start over with. The bums in Congress should all be thrown out no matter what party.

[ThermostatAgreeable]

I do admit congress are a bunch of tools, but plumbers shouldn't report on a war and then say the media has no right to cover it.

What is it ? Plumbers only ?

Joe was a moron from the day McCain unwisely decided to use him a political tool.

I know what you re thinking, "Thermostat, don't you think the election was staged?"

Of course I do. I'm nobodies fool, unlike Joe over here.

[sarcaz101]

I don't agree TA. A plumber can witness what he sees just as well any repoter or you and I. Joe is not a moron. Who are you to say he is? Joe asked Obama a legitimate question. MacCains use of the situation for political purposes has absolutelky no bearing on Joe's intelligence. I would question the intelligence of anyone who questions another persons intelligence without merit. I also watched the election unfold as well as Joe's participation in it. I saw no reason to question his intelligence.

[ThermostatAgreeable]

Well, he did lie about his name and his job.

Are you two BFF's or something ?

Do you think the media shouldn't report on war, too and that we should all just believe what the president and Joe want us too ?

I'm sorry, but when somebody is trying to shove ignorance down my little throat, I get a little peeved and start calling a spade a spade.

[sarcaz101]

And exactly how did he lie? I don't even know what a BFF is. I assume it is some sort of juvenile internet acronym. If it is, what does it say about you that you know what it means? War should be reported. If you think President Bush has any power over the media and what he wants you t5o know the you are naive. That naivete will only lead to becoming a sheaple and someday you will find yourself sheared. Ignorance is self inflicted.

[sarcaz101]

If you think you know what I am thinking then who is the fool. Joe is not a fool. He is a private citizen who got up in the public eye by circumstance and no fault of his own. I see people like you make insulting remarks without merit or reason and then I wonder...What have you ever done or accomplished that makes you think you are so smart that you think you can assess another person's intelligence from the tv. Based on that...who is the real fool.

[ThermostatAgreeable]

I agree with you that he is a somewhat private citizen by celebrity standards, but couldn't we send a more educated and dignified than Joe "remember when I lied to America" the plumber.

In my opinion, blatantly lying and getting caught a few days later is not a sign of extreme intellect. And I'm a sock !

I like this discussion, though.

[sarcaz101]

This is not much of a discussion. I have responded to your comments and then offered some of my own. You merely continue to comment without addressing my comments. Again, what have you done or accomplished that you think you are such an authority on ignorance, intelligence or dignity? I see you insult, judge, and claim to be a mind reader.

I see nothing in your prose that would lead me to believe you are in any position to do any of these things.
