The arrival of Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. Joe the Plumber, at the Israeli border town of Sderot on Sunday caused a minor sensation among the members of the foreign press who were camped out there. Wurzelbacher, who got his first 15 minutes of fame as a prop for John McCain during last year's U.S. election campaign, has swapped his plunger for a reporter's notebook on a mission to cover the Gaza war for the conservative website Pajamas TV. Unable to see much of the fighting himself, Wurzelbacher - who during the election campaign warned that a vote for Barack Obama was a vote for the destruction of Israel - picked a fight of his own. Turning on his new colleagues in the foreign press corps, he groused, "You should be ashamed of yourself. You should be patriotic, protect your family and children, not report like you have been doing for the past two weeks since this war has started." His complaint, it seemed, was that he was seeing too many reports of civilian casualties inside Gaza.

Jamil’s contempt is pallatable. Joe got his fame for calling out the Obamunist on what he really is, a communist. Go suck an egg, Jamil.
Why not? Didn’t the media say America lost the war in Iraq?
>>(MSM trying to declare Hamas the winners) <<
I’m not sure that’s so bad - less backlash if the media can declare the conflict a loss for Israel. The important thing is that Israel win on the ground.
WTF is a “media war”?
I’ll tell you what — it’s a fabrication of the self-important media. Jamil Pedophileworshiper declares it a thing and then proclaims Hamas won it.
Go suck a dog’s heinie, Jamil.
Incorrect premise. Question assumes there ever was a possibility that Israel could win.
False assumption.
Yuk!....ping...
Thanks Ernest.
Joey the Plumber. He just may end up doing OK. Along the lines of say a Bill Roggio and Michael Yon.
On the other hand, her Arab and Islamic neighbors have done exactly the opposite, and proved human traits that were only speculated to exist before the discovery of fire.
However, the representation in the media is strangely devoid of this basic truth.
Israel has not and cannot win a "media war", more accurately, Israel is not allowed to even participate.
Ditto on that.
