Colmes Nails "Joe The Plumber" For Being On Welfare(Media STILL continues attacks on JoethePlumber)
Hannity and Colmes on YouTube ^ | 11-05-2008 | Fox News

Posted on 11/06/2008 8:58:50 PM PST by TSawyer007

--- Transcript:

Joe: Was it patriotic for Joe Biden to say, "take my money and give it to other people?" That's patriotism?

Colmes: Well, let me ask, you were on welfare once, was that taking somebody else's money and giving it to you?

Joe: Paid into welfare. It something to be used, not to be abused like it often is.

~

Colmes: We looked at the numbers, you're going to get a tax break under Obama, you should be happy about that.

Joe: It goes against my principles. I stand firmly on those. Taking someone's hard earned money and putting it into my pocket, that's just stealing man.

It sure would have been nice if the media vetted Obama half as much as they did Joe the Plumber.

Now come the attacks, EVEN AFTER THE ELECTION, that he was once on welfare as that makes any difference to the larger point.

What a joke. Who cares if he was on welfare!?!?!

The media Nazi brown Shirts will not be satisfied until they taste blood. They are like rabid dogs, foaming at the mouth, seeking a victim to maul to death by ripping the flesh off their bones

Let it be known, Comrades, that all enemies of the Revolution must be silenced for the good of the people struggling to achieve the Socialist Paradise.

Colmes is a rotten stinking piece of rotting flesh. I don't know why Fox keeps him on the air. He has a face for radio.

If we worked at it we could make this a VERY politically incorrect thing to say - to stigmitize welfare. And, shouldn’t that be private information not available to the media when someone is a private citizen?

Colmes doesn’t know the difference between “being on welfare” and “living off of.”

When I watched that exchange between Joe and the seasoned (supposedly) learned TV personality of Colmes, I was struck by how well Joe answered and countered questions. He kept his cool, was straightforward, and knowledgable. He held his own and parried back. He shut Colmes up! That bit about who started wars was a good example.

I hope Joe doesn’t fade from the political scene. He is the heart of conservative America!

Indeed.

I've been spreading THIS link around today. It's hilarious. A must see for Conservatives experiencing an Obama hangover today.

Colmes Nails "Joe The Plumber" For Being On Welfare
Does he do that to everyone who's been on welfare? Whoopi Goldberg used to brag about how she still carried her welfare card...Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if she still uses it.

"The poor guy ain’t seen nuthin’ yet."

That's one of the saddest stories of this election. One conservative-minded guy asked Little Barry a question and Little Barry bungled it massively. Joe called the answer what it was for anyone educated into what it is and what it stands for: SOCIALISM.

As a friend of mine put it before the election "That guy's life is ruined now." He's being investigated out the wazoo, and his great crime was disagreeing with the Obamessiah and making him look stupid in front of a camera.
