What caused the Holocaust? (Or per Business Insider, “Why are the sources of anti-Semitism?”) Well, you could be boring about it and point to the rich vein of anti-Semitism going back to the Middle Ages in those parts of Bavaria where Hitler was strongest, and add in his need for an “other” to blame for Germany’s terrible economic situation after the Treaty of Versailles. But what are you, in grad school? Nope, much better to just go online and see what the militia folks are saying, like “Joe” the “Plumber” did!
Mr. The Plumber, who apparently would like some more attention, please, has a new ad out that explains that gun control caused both the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide. That is some First Class trolling there, Joe, but you forgot one tiny, teeny thing:
Jews don’t do guns.

Could you imagine Jews with guns? I'm guessing there would be a lot of friendly fire.
I'm sure they'd trade shots.
At a discount.
Your move, Menachem Begin.
Dunno, ask the Lebanese, I think they found the fire to be very unfriendly.
Israeli Jews so don't count.
My uncles- but they are all dead now- fought -with guns in WWII. At least 2 of them had guns and hunted(yes, hunted animals) after they returned.
My dad fought with guns also, too. 'Cept it was a effing big gun with lots of armoured steel around it and an engine at the back.
He had a silly name for his gun gang…. something like, 7th Armoured Division of the 8th Army. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue that name. I preferred 'Desert Rats'.
If only Anne Frank had a My First AK-47, she might not have thought people were really good at heart and that's the real tragedy for Herr(-less) Plumber.
Jews, Israelis, what difference does it make?
Says the drunk Irishman. lol
Or, per Sonja (@sweden), "Whats the fuzz with jews?"
Well, see, Sonja, some sects of Judiaism do not allow men to shave their face–
Oh, you meant "fuss"…
That's very different. Never mind.
" What caused the Holocaust?"
That's so easy. Obama, of course!
Do plumbers "Plump" when you grill them?
I don't know, but I'd bet they scream if you put them in the oven.
Would I toin da gas on if my friend Joe was in dere, Doc?
What the fuck, you guys?
Everybody screams when you put them in the oven.
Even mimes?
They do jazz hands.
I do know you can fit thousands of them in the ash try of a Volkswagen.
I don't know, let's find out!
Because if there's one thing Jews have always done well, it's shoot people.
And if Joe the Plumber had a plumber's license he'd be a plumber.
If his name was, you know, Joe.
Now you're just being pedantic.
I deny the charge. She told me she was eighteen
Allegedly.
Sorry, but I don't believe for one minute that he knows a fucking thing about the Armenian genocide.
He knows as much about the Armenian genocide as he does about the reasons for the Holocaust.
Or, frankly, anything apart from "Does Joe get the moneys? Joe does? Joe likey."
All caused by liberals, done and done.
He's heard about it because he's from the same state as Mean Jean Schmidt and her Armenian-Holocaust-Denial Machine, apparently he didn't quite understand that the party line was it never happened.
It's okay, neither do Turkish school kids.
Very winnish.
He thinks the Armenians were those blue dudes from Avatar and that they totally deserved to be wiped out for being filthy savage space Commies.
…who were tree-huggers, to boot!!!
Hey knows as much as the holocaust and Armenian genocide as he does the requirement to become an actual plumber.
I guess he didn't get the memo from Condi that it never happened.
http://www.armenianweekly.com/2011/11/04/condi-ri…
If he knew that Kardashian was an Armenian name, would he still feel the same way about the genocide?
More importantly, would he still feel the same about the Kardashians.
He knows that
(1) if you get genocided, it's because you didn't have enough guns, and
(2) if you didn't have enough guns, it was because of gun control.
So simple, even a plumber can figure it out.
(Psst ixnay on the umber-play, I kinda didn't get the license!)
I MEAN OH UM, LOOK OVER THERE, GUN CONTROL GENOCIDERS!
He's a hillbilly from Ohio, he doesn't know shit!
Turkey instituted gun control…hence their genocide against Armenians. Guess it makes sense in Wingnutland…
So, Joe thinks there was too much 'gun control' — during war time? Of fucking course there was gun control…. controlled by the occupying German army.
Who does this moran think he is, a fucking plumber?
Why does "Joe the Plumber" hate tomatoes? Can we train them to shoot back?
Faster, Brandywine, KILL! KILL!
They can be trained to kill.
I win!
Free wallpapers???
Something else not-Joe the not-Plumber forgot. The Jewish population of Germany in the 30s was well below 1% of the overall population. Shooting back wasn't gonna get them very far.
Greatest war machine in history (up to that point) v. a bunch of guys in tefilin running around with revolvers.
These guys just don't get it, do they?
It's a thing with them, the whole not getting anything.
Progressives are the master race – the Fourth Reich!
Oh for fuck's sake.
Lemme guess! Nazi's are liberals because it says Socialism right in their name. Right?
Case in point.
Why don't you go back to licking the balls of Dead Breitbart, you malevolent troglodyte?
If the Jews in Germany had been armed, they could have at least filmed ads showing them shooting a copy of the Nuremberg Laws.
Well, the teflon would make the bullets just slide off, wouldn't it?
And of that tiny number, a significant portion were female, or children below the age to, you know, effectively murder other people. Jesus, these people, what the FUCK is wrong with them?
"Jesus, these people, what the FUCK is wrong with them? "
They are not perfect like we liberals!
What a stinging rebuke! Witless sarcasm defeats grade-school math!
Don't you get enough attention by masturbating in front of school playgrounds?
You speak from experience, as if you are part of the Occupy Schoolyard group.
What a tool.
Specifically, a plunger.
Not a bumwad?
The snake!
Wait — I thought affordable healthcare caused the holocaust.
No, no. Affordable healthcare is the Holocaust.
Wait, so if we abolished gun control we'd have single payer?
Wow. That's a tough call….
If we abolish gun control, we won't need health care.
Nope. It's the possibility of hedge fund managers losing their carried interest tax exemptions.
No, allowing women to control their own reproductive cycle is the holocaust. My preacher done told me!
Wait more–I thought it was the homos?
Well, ERbody knows the Ho-Moes are the root cause of civilization's discontents.
We've been around for a long, long time and helped many a man seal his fate. . .woo woo woo. . .
No no. We're causing white people to die off in droves, remember?
Settle down, kids. We did ALL that and more and still found time to give your Boy Scout a reacharound!
Busy, busy, busy.
I thought you were too busy destroying marriage to kill whitey!
I thought Communism caused it.
If I were to attempt a parody of the idiocy of "gun lovin', rootin' tootin' Americans" in the most classless way possible then I couldn't even come close to the fake plumber.
That's an achievement, I suppose.
I wonder if he and Ted Nugent swap spit? Actually, no I don't *vomits*
Funny thing is, he's from Ohio, as am I. We're not exactly known for being a "gun lovin', rootin' tootin'" area. So, having said that, to whom is he pandering? *mind-boggled*
He's pandering to the Americans who exist in his own mind. Which is sort of scary.
I think idiot skinhead plumbers who did the piping for the showers had more to do with it.
They would have had names like Wurzelbacher, no doubt.
And they definitely would have loved the homeland.
And guns. I bet they owned lots of guns.
J the P would not have been 'a good German,' he would have been 'The Best German.'
Pass the Lord and praise the ammunition.
Heyyyy…them are some nice bullets you got there.
Is that a bullet, or are you just happy to see me? (inside reference to an ex-husband).
Well, any time you bust out the vibe…
I fear Jews with guns less than I do cows with guns. Burger King is the real holocaust.
Always relevant
Indeed.
But Chic-fil-A is fighting on the side of the cows, except for the ones that caught teh gay.
When scapegoats are outlaws, only outlaws… uh, wait, I know this one…
A fake plumber and a pretend world history scholar. Joe's the whole package alright. A big package.
A big package?
I figured he was into guns to compensate for something.
I think, this time, the package is in the rear.
Package of WtF????
I resemble that remark!
On behalf of my people, I thank you, Joe! Now someone will speak for the Jews.
Yes. Jew the Plumber.
Do I have to watch the video to comment that Joe is a real Dick?
No, and JoeNotaPlumber is too stupid to turn off the like and dislike button on his YouTube clips.
There was gun control… in Nazi Germany?
[insert laugh that goes on for a dozen lines here]
Seriously, the Nazis were all about guns, guns, and more guns.
Nazi gun control = control your gun so you have a better chance of hitting Jews.
Yes there was, but the grain of truth has been well mashed and incorporated in a few pounds of lies.
A very interesting site. Thank you.
And of course that grain of truth [very interesting site, btw], became irrelevant following the annexation of Austria and the subsequent blitzkrieg of Poland.
Even assuming that the Poles were a well-armed people [they weren't], the professional Polish army was swept aside by the speed, ferociousness and overwhelming might of the German invasion, I shudder to think what kind of response would have been meted out to a lightly-armed civilian revolt.
Oh that's right, the Warsaw ghetto uprising dealt with that, at a time when the Germans had moved most of their elite troops, armor and weapons to the Eastern Front to counter the advancing Russians, they still crushed the uprising with limited resources. Although those resources were SS-Commando groups.
Still, over 13,000 Jews armed with handguns, molotov cocktails and the odd rifle, died as the ghetto was firebombed to oblivion. The surviving 50,000 were shipped to Treblinka extermination camp.
And if unarmed tomatoes had come to kill the Jews and the Armenians, they probably would not have even needed guns to fend them off; they could have just squished them while doing some kind of klezmer dance.
http://www.bing.com/search?q=tomato+fight+in+spai…
Those unarmed tomatoes re-live the holocaust every year. Mass slaughter in the public square of a European city.
Given his record, I wouldn't have expected him to even Shoah little knowledge or decency on this topic, either.
Ok, how many Wonketteers got that one?
All of them, Katie.
Yes, but you know who did have have access to guns, besides Custer, the South and the folks at Waco?
Sure, everyone wants gun control. But at what HoloCOST‽
/subtlety
ISWYDT.
I can easily imagine Jews with guns. It's a little thing I like to call Israel.
This is why I will always support the existence of the state of Israel, even as I argue against Israeli state policy towards the Palestinian people.
If there was going to be a state of Israel after WW2, they should have taken a chunk of Germany.
Why make the Palestinian people suffer for the crimes of the German Nazis?
While I agree that most of the attempted genocide against the Jews after the Diaspora came at the hands of Europeans, surely the victims themselves would not have been comfortable remaining in a divided and torn country filled with ugly memories. We (the people of the world) gave them a flawed solution and we have all, the Palestinian people most of all, suffered ever since.
Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union posits a different solution, not one that I'm advocating either. It's an interesting read, if you haven't already read it.
Because Balfour had promised a Jewish homeland in Israel in 1917, which helped motivate the efforts of Zionists to encourage Jews to move into the area and in some cases fight.
I mentioned this earlier, but I thought the official wingnut line on the Holocaust was God let the Holocaust happen so the Jews could get Israel back and allow the end-times to begin.
Or is that just the crazy Revelation-zealot wingnut reason? I think I might be getting my wingnut classifications confused.
Well, shoor. But he tossed in a lesson about the importance of a home arsenal for self-protection too. It's hard being Divine Providence, you need to multi-task.
Nope, I think you got it about right. Now they're just waiting for the pure red calf, & then something, something, mosque destruction, something else, Muslims, something, Rapture, something else, End Times, the END.
Looking forward to the Post-Rapture scavenger hunt – cars, food, water, guns -to fight the final battle. DAMIENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
Love that bumper sticker: "when the rapture comes, can I have your car?"
Yes, but, see, if those goddamn Jooz (whom we totally support) had been armed, they could've fought back against the 99% non-Jews with whom they shared a nation, thereby disobeying GAWD's word and … DANGER DANGER DANGER
Careful, you're overloading!
I swear to god sometimes when I'm reading their shit I think I'm gonna pop an artery.
Remember when McCain had to unaccept John Hagee's endorsement after audio surfaced of him saying this:
Be fair. Joe lost family in the Holocaust. His grandfather died at Auschwitz….
…falling out of a guard tower.
Joe's pipe needz moar sweating.
EWWWWWWWWWWW.
What the flux?
I have a tube bender just his size.
The Jews seem to do a pretty good job with F-16s and Mirage III's, too.
Not all Jews are Israelis, and not all Israelis are Jews.
Word War II could have been prevented if both sides had guns.
See, if only we hadn't had gun control, back then …
Zactly!
Actually, Joe has it wrong: Hitler actually relaxed gun control laws.
Zis contradiction uff ze narrative vill not be tolerated.
Not according to the site GunCite, cited by sullivanst, above. Apparently, according to an apparently well-researched article at that site, Hitler tightened gun control laws in 1938.
Actually, there is another article I read (at the same site and possibly by the same author if my memory is correct) about how they did loosen private ownership. But again, they were going off the 1928 laws which also loosened private ownership (since the original laws had no rules to allow private ownership at all). The 1928 law required registration and presumably would have kept the Nazis from owning guns (since they had to be "law abiding" and most of their leadership did time for that whole "Beer Hall Putsch" debacle).
And the 1938 rewriting of the 1928 law lowered the age of legal ownership and removed pretty much all non-handgun weapon restrictions. Which is not even that odd that handguns had restrictions considering pistols have been heavily regulated in that area since the Holy Roman Empire.
But of course, the myth that the 1968 Gun Control Act was translated from German (specifically the imaginary Nazi gun ban law) is an article of faith among a good chunk of the lunatic fringe.
Thank you. I would ask you if you had a link to the specific RWNJs spouting this drivel, but I'm quite sick of reading their garbage right now.
Well, you could be boring about it
I for one welcome our new Over-bored's!
(not really)
Funny how right-wingers keep on pushing this ahistoric line.
Fun fact: Nazi Germany actually had relatively lax gun laws (for non-Jews). Simiarly, Saddam Hussein's Iraq actually had compulsary gun ownership by citizens. Contra the right-wing/neoconfederate insurrectionist theory of the Second Amendment, all those guns did bupkis in terms of armed uprisings that successfully deposed dicatators and tyrants.
Why, it's enough to lead one to believe that effective social control, mass-censorship of dissent, and deploying broad police powers against the same, backed up by a massive military complex relative to the populace, somehow manage to stifle dissent long before they reach the point of active revolt.
Speaking of which, how does (yet another) Joe feel about a free and independent press? What about war critics?
dude. history, facts, we're talking about wingtards here.
Facts are just the playground of elitist UN types.
As for stifling dissent, nothing like taking our historical figures of rebellion and turning them into obsequious hobbo's as I saw in Ridley Scott's flacid 'Robin Hood', the whole 'steal from the rich and give to the poor' was a side note and hood was turned into a nice peasant boy who knew the importance of having a nice Lord of the manor.
You know, there's actually a decent narrative by which Robin Hood was some terrible wingnut tax protester.
Think about it: the "Good King" Richard the Lionhearted racks up an enormous debt while going off to have a foreign adventure. Prince John is left in his place, and has a fucking kingdom to run. So what does he do? He raises taxes, to pay for shit. So, what does that make Robin Hood and his bandits, in this version?
Depends if Hood was down with Military expansion, i'm guessing he wasn't. The vast majority of Taxtards are all for Military expansion funded by cutting Civilian Government to offset cut's in taxes, as seen in the only sane part of Daddy Pauls platform, that is Military minimisation, getting roundly crushed recently.
You know who else was named Joe and disapproved of war criticism/free press?
Joe Miller?
Joe Lieberman?
Joe Walsh?
Joe Arpaio?
Joe McCarthy?
Joe Barton?
Joe Wilson?
Joe Scarborough?
Joe Vogler?
Joe Piscapo? (I mean, presumably)
You shouldn't include Joe Piscopo in that list. His father included him in that list once. ONCE.
Shouldn't the music be a little less peppy? Or does ominous cost more?
OT but related to earlier post, Kennedy Institute tells Scott Brown to fuck off.
Wish I'd said that.
What a pussy he is!
Actually, he's a tosser, a twat and a little scared bitch.
I'm going to start calling him Mr. The Plumber. Too good to pass up. Joe the Plumber, along with his sister Josephine, and brother Liquid.
As accurate as the time he said Obama's election would be "the end of Israel".
What the fuck caused kamikazes?
Ummm, gun control in Korea?
Equal pay for women, obvs.
A tanker truck full of vodka crashed into a truck full of limes just as a plane loaded with Triple Sec crashed on the same spot?
Constipation.
Teh gheyz, duh.
I'd bet dollars for donuts Joe's mom's mitochondrial DNA carries the dreaded 'jew curse'!
With Joe the Plumber in congress, no fruit is safe……metaphorically speaking.
There were events of armed resistance. For example Czech resistors killed Reinhard Heydrich, who was a Hitler golden boy running Czechslovakia. And what happened?
[Wikipedia:
On 9 June, after discussions with Himmler and Karl Hermann Frank, Hitler ordered brutal reprisals. Over 13,000 people were arrested, deported, and imprisoned. Beginning on 10 June, all males over the age of 16 in the village of Lidice, 22 km north-west of Prague, and the village of Ležáky, were murdered. All the women in Ležáky were also murdered. All but four of the women from Lidice were deported immediately to Ravensbrück concentration camp (four were pregnant – they were forcibly aborted at the same hospital where Heydrich had died and then sent to the concentration camp). A number of children were chosen for Germanization, but 81 were killed in gas vans at the Chełmno extermination camp. Both towns were burned and the ruins of Lidice were levelled. At least 1,300 people were massacred after Heydrich's death.
If only the people of Lidice and Ležáky had assault weapons in their basements they would have been fine?
And there was the shooting of the diplomat vom Rath in Paris. In response to which Hitler unleashed Kristallnacht. But that was in 1938, before the time when, according to Joe the Historian, Germany imposed gun control. So the Jewish community in Germany could defend themselves, right? No government would dare take on armed patriots. That's not how I remember my readings about Kristallnacht, but my history books are obviously anti-2nd Amendment propaganda.
Nobody said you wouldn't get your hair mussed!!
You are attempting to read far too much into this man's "thought" process.
TBH it's insulting to anyone whose talents extend to such ridiculously elite things like "reading"
Ur a godam eleetess relynig on books and that stuff lkei that bcos even aBush an I dont agre wtih him sed he kneow thigns fron his gut, in his gut he know them.
Let's not forget the Night of the Long Knives, when Hitler had Ernst Röhm murdered. Being head of an entire (well-armed) militia did Röhm no good.
Silly numbnuts, facts are for kids: The Holocaust was caused by christian conservatives wielding guns who perceived Jews as inferior as stated by their religion.
.. to say nothing on the long glorious history of Christian progroms against Jews with a fun fact being the English first introduced the yellow star accessory. The progrom got it's start by Christians not being allowed to lend money so they went to tha Joos for cash, then when the Joos wouldn't lend any more they were massacred or run out of town in the name of the Lord. A great debt solution, just kill the holder of the loan.
One wonders how many Joos were owed cash to finance all those concrete highways of the Third Reich… seeing as the Reich was built on debt.. like another Reich.
Yes, if Anne Frank had only been packing a few 9mm and went all Jovovich on those germans the world would've been a different place.
Needs moar Alice.
Yes, armed resistance to ethnic cleansing has always worked
If I can have a snark-free moment? Thank you.
For starters, this is just like the bullshit that they always crap out whenever a horrible shooting massacre happens. No matter how much you want to think otherwise, a majority of people do not do not turn into John McClane in the middle of a potentially violent situation involving weapons, especially if your only exposure to firearm combat is the shooting range and the occasional round of "Call of Duty." As an ancillary to that, if you think you could stand up to the World War II-era German army with just your trusty rifle, well, be my guest. I mean, there was Jewish armed resistance to the Nazis, but even they with more resources than you can probably get even at a gun show didn't stop the Holocaust.
Second, quite a few of the first Jews who ended up in concentration camps were members of the Polish army – and, hey, THEY HAD GUNS!
Third, if you actually knew anything about the Holocaust and the historical consensus about how it could happen, you would realize that one of the MAJOR POINTS in Holocaust studies is that the Nazis made things worse by increments, and took advantage of the fact that they were acting against a minority already wearily accustomed to even official persecution, so that by the time many people realized that Nazi anti-Semitism wasn't something that would just pass over they were already having their property taken away and forced into the ghettos.
That's actually considered one of the biggest yet less obvious lessons of the Holocaust, and has been echoed in works like THE HANDMAID'S TALE ever since: that modern governments that wish to take freedom away from a minority do so gradually. Hey, isn't that the whole reason why wingers like Joe the Plumber say we can't have universal health care and high-speed rail projects – because it would lead to SOCIALISM and then the gulags? Sounds like Joe's not all that confident in the ability of the Second Amendment to protect us after all.
the Nazis made things worse by increments, and took advantage of the fact that they were acting against a minority already wearily accustomed to even official persecution
Sorta like Americans under W.
Stop making sense – America is simply not the correct venue for this kind of thing.
I dunno, Jews did pretty doggone well with guns in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Too bad it was too late by then.
I really thought this dumbass was gonna disappear by now.
Another thing we can thank John McCain for.
That tomato shoulda armed its self.
So the victims are to blame because they aren't violent, gun-toting assholes like the aggressors? Hmm. I guess that means Wonkette readers are responsible for the current House of Representatives…
Sooo, I guess the f *ing Turks caused the Kardashians? Thanks Joe.
I love the new history where you just make shit up and then pretend it really happened. Used to be people like that got locked up in a hospital and treated. Now we are putting them in Congress.
has anybody left a worse campaign legacy than john mccain?
Hitler.
Always.
Eva Braun didn't appear on DWTS and get her own reality show.
Reagan and W, for two, but of course that's partly because they won.
Nixon ranks up there.
I luvz the America, cause over here, I can put on safety glasses and earmuffs and shoot a tomato.
That would not have been possible back when they took the guns away from Turkeys. The tomatoes ran wild and killed every Jew in Germany. Then the Russians bombed Pearl Harbor.
Not plain old earmuffs, but mirror image earmuffs (see at about 16 seconds), also note that he is shooting tomatoes with a shotgun, so not much need for accuracy.
Why is Joe ignoring the obvious: a certain Jew would have shot up the Romans like so much swiss cheese–IF he only had been packing. And then maybe some weird-ass religion with an execution device as a logo would never have been smeared across the planet. Oh, wait. He likes that part.
Jonah Goldberg says it was liberals that caused the holocaust…. is Joe calling him a liar!?
One thing for sure, Nazi Germany was really afraid of people that had guns. They overran France and the low country because the French were armed with baguettes and tried to stop the blitzkrieg by sending mimes to the border to fool the Germans into thinking there was an invisible wall there.
BTW what kind of punk-ass dinky shotgun was that? I'd be afraid to take on a squirrel with that pea-shooter Joe.
Oh, and you suck, douchebag…
I'm waiting for the Downfall Parody of this before I make any further comments.
Joe the Plumber? Sounds more like Joe the Just Scratches the Surface.
Tarantino's next flick: "Joe The Opprobrious Basterd."
It doesn't surprise me Joe can't pronounce "Armenians", but Christ, you'd think that maybe someone on the production crew might. Guess not.
These people are morons. Every single one of them.
Joe is just following the NRA's recipe for salsa.
Hope he's not lookin' for spicy- those jalapenos are hard to hit from a distance…
Jalapenos are way too ethnic for gun nuts. The NRA recipe calls for pepper spray and gun powder as the spices.
I get it… the problem was always the gun control laws, not some army of assholes following the orders of an egomaniacal sociopath. Named Karl Rove.
We *must* get to the bottom of Fast and Furious! Our freedom to shoot blood-thirsty tomatoes depends on it!
Used to be that history was written by the victors. Now it's just written and rewritten by any fucktard who can hold a crayon.
Sometimes, I think Palin was the worst thing McCain unleashed on us. Then, we hear from Joe the Unlicensed Plumber. It's a hard call. Tie, maybe?
I'd like to. To a shark cage. In a swimming pool, of course.
You know the Nazis had pieces of flair they made the Jews wear.
How many Joe the Plumber for Congress ads are just him trying to tell the voters to vote for that Sam Wurzelbacher guy and not Joe the Plumber?
It's gonna be quite hilarious seeing Marcy Kaptur's margin of victory in November.
Who is giving this excuse for a sludge pool money to run for office? That's like encouraging and outbreak of botulism.
Next time I run into a Holocaust-denier, I'm just going to whip out a shotgun and shoot them. Thanks for the tip, Joe! Say, can I share your parent's basement with you while I'm on the run? Just until the statue of limitation runs out.
This is as bad as the Cain/Mark Block ad. You got Sam the Idiot babbling about Armenians, Jews, the Holocaust and some imagined direct correlation to gun rights, all while blowing the shit out of a few fruits and vegetables with a shotgun.
The real reason the Armenians got clobbered was that General Lando Calrissian was preoccupied in Cloud City.
Uproarious Update from Think Progress:
Hunter Walker at the New York Observer reached out to Wurzelbacher’s spokesperson, who only worsened the comparisons, comparing gun control to slavery as well:
Phil Christofanelli [said] “there’s nothing offensive” about the video and discussed how gun control may have led to slavery in the United States too…. “Well, blacks weren’t allowed to own guns in the south, that’s a historical fact as well,” said Mr. Christofanelli. “So, it would seem that the argument would apply there as well.” http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/06/19/5023…
He's not going to win the support of his Republican base if he starts advocating giving guns to the blahs.
I'm sure the Klan and the American Nazi Party agree.
Blacks weren't allowed to read in the South, either. And yet, these guys never seem terribly worked up about literacy or education.
Good grief, he has a spokesperson who may be more stupid that he is. There may be no lower bound.
http://www.facebook.com/phil.christofanelli Is he still in college at Wash u?
Has Rand Paul offered him an internship yet?
Not a good day for Hannah Arendt.
"Gun control made the Holocaust possible" is as old as the hills. It's something you've heard a dozen times, if you know a lot of stupid people. I'm concerned that Wonkette lacks acquaintance with this key demographic (the stupids, that is). Also envious.
listening to joe the plumber is like face-fucking an edsel . just awful
Sorry, I must get technical here: only a complete fucking idiot keeps his ammo in his weak hand pocket, passing rounds from one hand to another prior to loading, thereby unnecessarily risking dropping a round in the process. Once again, trying to look cool and coming off as a fuck-up, keep up the good work, Joe.
From 1492 to present millions of indians were not arming themselves with firearms and were subesquently overrun, murdered in cold blood and deported. I guess they should have developed guns first. I Love 'Merica.
I pawned my guns to a Jew once, and it didn't stop any Holocausts.
You know why I don't ask plumber's what they think about the Holocaust? For the same reason I don't call history professors to unclog my shitter.
Asking Joe the Plumber his input on historical events is akin to asking your history professor from college to come fix that clogged up commode in your shithouse.
Also too, Robert Byrd was in the Klan!!!! Chappaquiddick!!!
No, we liberals really are vastly superior to those knuckle-dragging conservatives! Just read the posts here!
We progressives know that preSScott buSSh advised Hitler on forming his Schutzstaffel.
Ooh look, it's a new troll!
That's what dumb republicans think. But again, what do they know.
Edvard Munch libel!
Easy for you to (virtually) say.
It's not that hard… say "moon" quickly and add a k, and you basically have it.
Chappaquiddick? Why bring the architect of the wildly successful NCLB into this?
What are you talking about?
We progressives are really nice people. Genteel and such.
Very funny, sullivanst. You make the ha-ha, yes?
*bobs head while grinning with both hands flat in front of his mouth*
Sully is very funny. I
Actually, a very old one, with a history of abusing the comments system to harrass the bejesus out of people, and then crying intolerance when he finally got banned.
If our editrix is reading this, I just want to say that America's justice system, flawed as it is, is probably correct in concluding that some people are beyond rehabilitation.
We probably should be occupying schoolyards, what with so many conservative governors trying to blame public school teachers for their state's financial woes. But you wouldn't know anything about any of that because my guess is you have Glenn Beck's chalkboard so far up your ass that you can only spew talking points.
IOW, burn the witch! Burn him now!
"some people are beyond rehabilitation"
A great example might be the author of this statement below, swordfis:
"Why don't you go back to licking the balls of Dead Breitbart, you malevolent troglodyte?"
Under the new system, only smokefilledroommate, Negropolis and Radiotherapy get banned. Trolls are allowed to roam free.
What's with the obsession with the male ass?
Are we quoting Monty Python now, because I have one, too:
"Help, help, I'm being oppressed!"
Also, I fail to see how swordfis's entirely accurate description for those just tuning in, and a suggestion that you return to your favorite passtime qualifies as unseemly.
That burning, turgid rage you choke with both hands is about to explode all over your keyboard.
Hey now. I can't fault a fella for having an active fantasy life, and I have to admit I'm oddly flattered in a way, but let's try and keep it G-rated, okay? There might be children tuning in.
Wow. You're kind of a sad old troll. I mean, pathetic. Not particularly clever and really really boring.
I crap bigger turds than you after breakfast.
What's the obsession with having "legislation" rammed down our throats?
I believe a fair few Polish Jews fought with less effin' big, but still big enough, guns bolted on to some balsa wood with an engine at the front and wings on the side, too.
Doesn't look like they had anywhere as cool names as Monty's crew, though.
What are you talking about? We progressives know that all progress comes from the federal government! The more laws, the better! If a session of Congress passes a lot of laws, that means they are mas macho.
Ah. Well, that seems tough, but fair. I certainly can't fault our illustrious editrix for such a system as that.
(Please don't ban me!)
Talkin' outta turn? That's a paddlin'.
OMG, posters on this forum lack creativity and wit.
