Let's run through our bigotry iterations!

"I’ve had some friends that are actually Jewish. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children." —Joe the Plumber

"I’ve had some friends that are actually black. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children." —Joe the Plumber

"I’ve had some friends that are actually Muslim. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children." —Joe the Plumber

"I’ve had some friends that are actually Hispanic. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children." —Joe the Plumber

"I’ve had some friends that are actually Republicans. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children." —Kyle

a pedaphile is quite different from a homosexual. Doesnt he know that?

Yes, because A Friendship with Joe the Plumber is so awesome and uplifting we'd look past the fact that he's an inarticulate homophobic moran just for the honor of calling him "Friend." Who needs dignity and self respect when instead you can have Joe as your pal?

I think we dodged a cosmic bullet. Can you imagine what could have resulted if he and Sarah Palin had intercoursed?

To add to the irony, this interview was done in Christianity Today. The magazine for Christians - people supposedly trying to live like Jesus Christ. You know, the dude who hung out with prostitutes, thieves, and those kind of people.

What an asshole.

And seriously, why the fuck are people still interviewing this loser? I'm at a loss as to why people actually want to hear anything he has to say. All he does for me is make me want to do shots of tequila until I calm back down.

I don't know why he gets continued attention, Kat. Sarah Palin was better at repeating the talking points than this skid-mark.

I wouldn't let that dumb conman bastard anywhere near my toilet or sink.

a pedaphile is quite different from a homosexual. Doesnt he know that?

No, he doesn't. Even if he did, the other connotation would be, "I don't want Teh Gay to rub off on my kids or for them to catch The AIDS or something."

Is that any better. This guy needs to go away real soon.

On second thought, keep him out there. Let him continue to be one of the myriad of disgusting faces of the Republican party, along with Bachmann, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and Beck.

Tha party of inclusion indeed.

Shit, does this idiot actually have kids?

Next thing you know he'll be calling himself "Joe The World's Greatest Dad."

However, he'll still be Sam The Conman to me.

I mean, whenever I force myself to think about the moron.

Someone please tell me why anyone listens to this dumbass. He is the fucking Brian Fellows of politics! I keep on expecting to see him look at a star of David and say, "that cross is weird."

Sierra, I just spit my coffee out on that humdinger.

I am sure all gays and lesbians are shouting 'HALLELUJAH!' after reading that idiot's comment.

His kids on the other hand are probably devastated; now there will be no one to rescue them from the hell that is called living with a schmuck.

If, these people are his friends, who are his enemies?

It's amazing how a randomly chosen dumbshit has become a poster boy for the Republicans.
Keep it up, Repubes! The longer you persist with this moronic behavior the stronger our side gets.

I'm willing to wager a pretty penny that there isn't a single gay person "Joe" considers a friend, unless they're still in the far depths of their closet.

Samuel Shickelgruber's gay friends are the same as the Palinator®'s gay friends. They are purely imaginary.

Faux Joe the faux Plumber is just Sam the Faux. I think he is a faux human. There is no evidence that anything about him is real. I've never felt a pulse.

with quotes like this from "leaders of the republican party",along with arguing FOR torture as well as less punishment for hate crimes,not to mention every single word which comes out of michelle bachmans mouth,it appears the republicans are putting together a pretty awesome platform for 2010.
i guess the only question is:will torture,hate crimes and mentally unstable jingoism still be as popular in 2012?

The hilarious part is that this "I have gay friends" talk is actually their way of trying to cozy up to the gay community. Anyone remember Sarah Palin's attempt at winning over the gay vote during the VP debate?

Something to the effect of - "Don't worry - you will be tolerated under a Mccain/Palin administration." OOOOHHHHHHHH, tolerated! How gracious of you!

"I’ve had some friends that are actually Joe the Plumbers. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children." — chenry

Or...

"I've had some friends that are actually named Joe.."

"I've had some friends that are actually plumbers.."

It's at least nice to see people on the site commenting against him.
