Joe isn’t a racist. He just hates people who don’t look like himself.

Joe Wilson, racist? That is beyond the pale.
“I thought you’d be bigger.”
“Dirty Dancing” made him famous, but “Road House” will always be my favorite Patrick Swayze movie. RIP, man.
Joe the Racist Plumber from Dixieland.
Julie, is this an excused or an unexcused tardy? Did you bring a note from Ken?
America has blown up a car in Somalia! But what counts is what’s inside the car, namely, Al Qaeda’s most talented terrorist.
Oooh, Oooh, I know! Was it Mr. Delay, the most talented terrorist on Dancing with the Stars?
Ugh. Just read the WaPo on the “controversy” regarding the Wilson reprimand. Nowhere once was the word “Thurmond” mentioned. Heckuva job Black Democratic Leaders.
The commandos, among the most elite and secretive of all U.S. military forces, had spent days tracking Kenyan-born Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan — Everybody hates Kenya, even the most elite of our secretive commandos.
For Jeebus’ sake, Demrats. Stick the knife IN!
If there is one thing that makes white people (especially from olden times and from certain places, cough, South/Urban areas of the North, cough) skeevy, wimpy and put entirely on the defensive, it’s tagging one (especially in this case cause it’s true) as racist.
“Joe” crapped on Strom’s half black love child. “Joe” fought to keep the Stars and Bars. What more does one need?
Is there some kind of reprimand for just being an all-around douchebag?
They should paint Joe’s face black with big white lips, glue an afro wig to head, give him a banjo and make him sing Old Man River in falsetto.
Where Joe comes from, being called a racist is both a compliment and commonplace to the extent it should go without saying. Just saying.
Slightly OT, but apropos automakers, cap-wearing auteur M. Moore explains succinctly why Wonketteland et al is kicking print media’s tookus, and indirectly about birfer evolution:

I thought Republicans hated people who do not support “our President.”
[re=411121]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Hmmm…European newspapers all first class, Mr Moore? Ever seen Corriere della Sera? Not exactly Woodward and Bernstein. Just a Berlusconi fappogram, makes Murdoch look like a genius.
Nobody puts Addison Graves (“Joe”) Wilson, Sr. in a corner.
Sanctioning isn’t nearly good enough for this arrogant dickbag. Might I suggest something involving an electric cattle prod dipped in Liquid Plumber?
One al-Qaida guy dead. A bunch of people quickly rounded up in New York. And analysts say that bin Laden’s message released yesterday sounds weak and he didn’t make any ominous threats, while operations in Pakistan’s Swat Valley (near where he might be hiding) are being pressed with increasing success. Our president is quietly being an effective badass, as opposed to the previous one who blustered a lot while letting Iraq and Afghanistan deteriorate, along with our standing in the world. Just felt like pointing that out.
[re=411116]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Uh, he already does that every third Wednesday at the secret “K” club.
[re=411135]SayItWithWookies[/re]: BUT HE WON’T TORTURE PEOPLE, AND THAT MEANS HE LOVES THE TERRORISTS AND WANTS THEM TO WIN!11!!! That’s what Dick Cheney says, and he should know!
[re=411135]SayItWithWookies[/re]: So Barry personally goes out and launches missiles and rounds people up? So talented!
It’s not about being black or brown. You’re down with the repugs if you look like a leathery sundried testicle with a southern accent.
So when the Dems censure Joe Wilson and call him a racist, will this mean that we all have free health care? Because I thought that was like a pressing issue or no?
ACORN should know better than to come clean. Come on, look to the banking industry for your lead, ya losers. Federal monies: 3 Trillion. Coming clean: -eleventy billion %.
[re=411135]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Yeah and Barry keeps it low key unlike President Mission (un)Accomplished. Of course this doesn’t impress muslin hating teabaggers because a certificate of live birth is not a birth certificate.
[re=411130]V572625694[/re]: Here in Englandistan, The Daily Mail and The Sun are most certainly first-class, I’ll have you know.
Patrick Swayze was also a lifeguard at a public pool his parents owned here in Houston. He saved my husband’s life when my husband as a young boy.
“Road House” is our favorite movie of all time. Coincidence? I think not.
By the way, how many “top officials” does Al kayda have ? Too many cooks in the kitchen?
[re=411149]groove[/re]: A censure would turn HCR into a circus, I agree. But wouldn’t it be nice if the dems would actually return a punch now and then? I think Obama should punch Joe Wilson in his fucking face just one time, and say, “we’re even, bitch.” I think that would settle it.
[re=411161]bored with gravity[/re]: “was a young boy.”
/fixed
[re=411149]groove[/re]: what about this RINO from South Carolina saying Wilson should apologize to the House? Don’t do it Joe or the terrorists win! And the socialist nazi death panels as well!! and other stuff too horrible to contemplate.
Did you know you can memorialize 9/11 twice in the same year? Once on the calendar date, and then again on the second Tuesday in September upon which local primary elections are held right here in New York City, Ground Zero, like today?
I just realized this!!!
Car bombs aren’t terrorism when we do it. And as a corollary, when we do it, it’s always for a good reason, and it’s always “a careful, methodical operation.” God Bless America!
[re=411163]El Pinche[/re]: [re=411204]qwerty42[/re]: I would love if Obama would punch Wilson in the face. It would be a lot faster and we could get back to trying to fix the horrendously broken health care system in communist America.
But apparently neither the Dems nor the Repubs actually paid attention to Obama when he said we need to stop letting these petty bullshit distractions get in the way of honest-to-Jebus reasonable discourse about health care reform.
So I guess I really want to see Obama punch every member of Congress in the face for being absolute fucktards.
[re=411215]sezme[/re]: Some guy on BBC Radio this morning opined that the ground troops took out the fugitive terrorist this time because blasting him (and collatteral civilians, farm animals, etc.) from afar with a Hellfire missile tends to create a DNA soup, rendering positive ID of the target too difficult. Fun fact.
[re=411218]groove[/re]: Nah, he doesn’t need to punch anyone, but keeping the pressure on is good. And now that our doctors have shown themselves to be commies by supporting the public option, I gotta wonder who the wingers are going to next: Joe the Plumber?
[re=411215]sezme[/re]: Car bombs aren’t terrorism when we do it.
Heh. Funny how that works. Still and all, if that asshole is who they say he is, I’m glad they did it.
[re=411159]Barry White Zombie[/re]: Yes, as amply evidenced by Page 3. US American papers are the suck by comparison.
Further proof that one technically birthed onto American soil can be completely oblivious of the American Creed, pay taxes; and so consider his sectarian view worthy of consideration.
There’s good reason Radical Protestants, Freemasons, and Jews founded America’s New Secular Order, and Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims didn’t.
Study the Arc of History and The Founders’ prophetic wisdom.
Utopian Whigs received Our Nation in covenant from the Creator, “that Infinite Power which rules the destinies of the universe.”
For those wishing to profit from the Age of Reason, there is but One G-d: “Annuit Coeptis” is Our Creed’s first Motto.
Try to assimilate. As Americans fully recognize there is only one G-d, keep your sectarianism to yourself or renounce the citizenship your parents cadged.
What? Oh sorry, I was just randomly reading the comments section in today’s Washington Post. I love whackos.
[re=411292]snideinplainsight[/re]: Scary, dude. “Annuit Coeptis,” indeed.
Surf on, Bodhi.
I’m carrying a watermelon in your honor.
[re=411214]bitchincamaro[/re]: True story: on the actual 9/11, I tried to vote early but the damn gigantic lever got stuck, and my jiggling of it apparently “cast” my vote for no one. I was pissed until my aged Jewish downstairs neighbor, who was a poll worker, told me not to worry about it, just come back right before the polls closed and she’d give me someone else’s vote.
Gotta love New York!
So, they’re dumping ACORN because the Right has been screaming lies about them for two years? When will the cowardly Dems ever stand up for anything? Well, they haven’t stood up for the Constitution, so I guess ACORN didn’t have a chance.
Who let the blackz be lawmakers. That aint be allowed wereh me come fromz
“Al Qaeda’s most talented terrorist.”
“Today on Obama’s Everyone Should Be Taking Responsibility For Things tour: Midwestern auto-workers, whom he will tell to be responsible with their jobs and savings, should they ever have these things again.”
Juli, I love you. You had me at “most talented terrorist”, which strangely enough sounds like some Al Jizzera (yes, I spelled it wrong on purpose) reality show. And, yes, as someone from Michigan, if we ever get those things, again (jobs, savings, love, acceptance…), we’ll be forever grateful. That said, we’d love if Obama, who we gave nearly 60% of our vote in November, would stop with the condescending ‘Responsibility Tour’ schtick. If we wanted a Republican, we’d have voted for McCain.
