Americans for Prosperity, one of the wingnut welfare outfits behind the Great Teabagging, held an event in Wausau, Wisconsin yesterday, keynoted by the man who best personifies the Teabagging movement.
"Obama right now is talking about, he can generate more revenue by taxing the top 2 to 3 percent of Americans," Wurzelbacher said. "Well, you know, that’s immoral. Just because someone’s worked hard, gotten ahead — it’s not your money."
(Psssst. We’ve had this form of "immoral" taxation, endorsed by Teddy Roosevelt, for the better part of a century. Also.)
Wurzelbacher has a reputation for being a blunt, politically incorrect speaker. Referring to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., more than once, Wurzelbacher asked, "Why hasn’t he been strung up?"
I’m not sure I’d use the term "politically incorrect" for calling for the lynching of a sitting US Senator. But don’t stop him, he’s rolling.
Referring to the Constitution as "almost like the Bible," Wurzelbacher said of the Founding Fathers: "They knew socialism doesn’t work. They knew communism doesn’t work."
Here, Joe is undoubtedly citing that totally kickass Federalist Paper in which Alexander Hamilton and James Madison put the beatdown on Marx and Engels. Suck it, leftards!
After speaking, Wurzelbacher signed autographs and posed for pictures with the crowd. In a brief interview Thursday, he said a recent Time magazine report that he had left the Republican Party was false.
Sweet! I would pay BIG money to see Joe interview Sarah Palin.

Wow, the dumber the better I guess in Republican-land.
I heard that is available at various adult entertainment outlets.
Sounds to me like a direct threat to a sitting United States Senator.
What a moran!
How does Lindsay Graham manage to get in the background of almost every picture around?
I am thrilled to know that the Founding Fathers were clearly anti-communist. I was a little concerned
about Ben Franklin. s/
didn’t you know… ’tis why Martin Luther nailed his complaints on a church door in the 16th century, starting the Protestant Reformation (and inadvertantly caused the evolution – half a millenium later – of the fundies who run the rethug party these days) – ’cause those Roman Catholics were commies! who ran around quoting Marx, Lenin and Mao day in and day out!
He’s the twinkie Zelig. That’s Cindy Mc Cain too so it’s proly a file shot.
“Sweet! I would pay BIG money to see Joe interview Sarah Palin.”
Or Maria. Maybe both. He could ask about their fantasies and what they look for in an Ideal Republican Man.
This would give the four-six-pack-a-day part of the Republican base hope: they could glimpse a world where they might someday get the cheerleader and be allowed to avoid ruinous taxes on all the money that they’ve thus far been too disincentivized to actually earn. Perhaps they would then join Joe to tell their own stories in a new reality series: “I Wanna Be an Wingnut Pundit”.
The entertainment value would be endless.
Oh, for the love of spit! I thought this twirp had finally slunk off to lurk behind the outhouse. Since I don’t hang around in thug cesspools, may be that’s a plausible excuse. It sure as hell is a blessing.
I can’t help but wonder at the gop’s willingness to use a nuclear weapon to dig their grave?
Joe and Lindsay. Do you think Joe even knows who is standing behind him? Since he is so mortified by teh gay, is he being paid well, or being banged well, or perhaps, both?
The photo of the two of them together is pricesless, although Joe’s certainly clueless about the senator. Love to see the reaction if Lindsay brushed his tail.
sounds to me like maybe the R party has been ignoring its true leader (Not-Joe the Not-Plumber)
Here, Joe is undoubtedly citing that totally kickass Federalist Paper in which Alexander Hamilton and James Madison put the beatdown on Marx and Engels. Suck it, leftards.
I knew the founding fathers were good, but I didn’t know Benjamin Franklin invented a time machine too. Wow that wood, string and tallow goes a long way.
I learn so much on FDL.
Lindsay Graham is the Waldo of the Republican Party. Can you find Lindsay?
Speaking of stringing up…. why hasn’t any of the bushco criminals been “strung up” since you know they’ve totally broken any and every law necessary to grab more money and power.
Wurzelbacher along with Coulter are the leaders of the nOOb faction of the rethug party.

Lindsay Graham is the Waldo of the Republican Party. Can you find Lindsay?
unfortunately, the answer is all too often “yes”.
Dumb as dogshit he is.
perhaps Lindsay’s hanging out in the background, hoping some of Joe’s brilliance and glory will rub off on him. I always did wonder where the bottom fifth of my middle school class wound up….
Lindsay is on a fact finding mission.
thanks for clearing that up, joe
good to know that the repuglitarded party still represents you
and that YOU still represent the repuglitarded party
I thought you could always find Lindsay on the bottom – bossy, but bottom, for sure.
And that the repuglitarded party is still on the lookout for Commies.
Referring to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., more than once, Wurzelbacher asked, “Why hasn’t he been strung up?”
One might also ask why Wurzelbacher hasn’t shot up an abortion clinic yet.
DOJ should Hal Turner his ass…
With book sales in the high tens and a plumbing job he has contracted Joe is eagerly anticipating belonging to this class.
I love it when wingnuts like Joe claim it’s not your money. There was a great post here on FDL that refutes that meme pretty effectively: http://firedoglake.com/2008/02…..our-money/
Since Joe stated it in the guise of a rhetorical question, it doesn’t qualify as a direct threat. Even describing it as an indirect threat probably wouldn’t hold up in court… unless Joe acts as his own attorney.
Too funny: Governor Sanford is comparing his tryst with David and Bathsheba!

Not-Joe the Not-Plumber, cheerleader for the top 2 to 3 percent of Americans.
Where are the pom-poms?
Arrest the SOB for trying to incite violence.
When I heard that Joe the Plumber (who is not named Joe and is not a Plumber – which says something about Republicans, I guess) had left the party, I wryly commented to a friend that the aggregate IQ of the Republican party had now surpassed that of a dead mackeral. Hearing that Joe is still (or again) in the party lowers that aggregate IQ to around that of a bag full of hammer handles.
I heard that, in a fundraising event last month, Joe engaged in a ”smart-off” against a paper clip and a stale Cheez Doodle. Joe came in second – but only because the paper clip was disqualified for being non-organic.
I think that, when John Stuart Mill said that ”Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives” he was being optimistically charitable.
If we were smart, we’d raise money to keep this loon on the road spewing nonsense thru 2010.
Then start a new collection for road trips thru 2012.
We would then hold 80% of each house in congress.
Leaving the risk of stating the obvious aside,
Wurzelbacher said of the Founding Fathers: “They knew socialism doesn’t work. They knew communism doesn’t work.”
I’ll leave socialism for someone else to discuss.
The American Constitution was ratified in 1787. Karl Marx, generally given credit for being the founder of the philosophy of Communism, was born in 1818. His book Manifesto of the Communist Party was written in 1848. Das Kapital was written in 1867.
It must be part of what has made the United States such a great nation that our Founding Fathers knew, sixty years before it was conceived, that Communism doesn’t work.
Joe, what did they think about Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell? How about intercontinental air travel?
No longer content with his already developed skills of plumbing and Republican Spokeperson for Real Americans, Wurzelbacher has now added channeling Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin to his growing list of abilities. His forthcoming book What The Founding Fathers Really Meant will be released shortly.
By the way, I call him not-Joe the not-Plumber.
Franklin actually had a thing about limits on property ownership, feeling that too much wealth eroded the state, but never had his way.
Capital idea, dood ! Let’s get the Joe & Sarah Show going cross country …
Facts? We don’t need no stinkin’ facts!
I bet Joe studied all night to make sure he got those answers right. I bet his study partner was Sarah Palin too. Obviously!
