		<description>&gt; I have only one question.
&gt; What do you people have
&gt; against the guy?

He&#039;s a liar, he&#039;s a fraud, he lies about his income and complains about taxes he doesnt pay anyway, and he&#039;s a wifebeater.

He claims he&#039;s a plumber yet he&#039;s not liscened to be in one in a state that required him to have a liscense.

He was lying about being in an income tax range that would &quot;suffer&quot; under obama&#039;s tax plan.

He complains about the government asking him to pay taxes even though he apparently doesnt actually pay them even when he&#039;s asked to, anyway. 

He complains about social security but apparently doesnt mind accepting welfare..

He makes scandalous assertions about Obama &quot;being bad for israel&quot; then when challenged on this assertion tells us to &quot;look on the internet&quot;. A commentatator of FOx News, of all places, actually rebukes him on that one. You KNOW you&#039;ve gone out on a limb when when Fox News is refuting the anti-obama allegations you&#039;re making..

also...
When his wife filed for divorce she made allegations of spousal abuse. Since you guys are the ones so excited about the legitimacy of profiling, let me profile this guy and say he looks, sounds, and talks exactly like the kind of pseudo macho idiot who would actually engage in wife beating..if the pipe fits....

In short, hes a liar, a fake, a fraud, and someone whose trying to nail obama with a question based around a premise which is totally false and untrue. Does that answer your question fer ya?</description>

		<description>Total fraud. But one, obviously, with a good agent.

One moment in front of the microphone uttering a 10-second sound bite does not make one an expert to speak on any, and every, topic under the sun.  The only thing more dangerous than this guy in the spotlight will be the readers who think this guy is &quot;on the right track&quot; and &quot;knows what he is talking about,&quot; ala the Rushbots.

But, that is what makes this country great, eh?  You can say most anything and someone will believe it - or buy it.

&quot;There&#039;s a sucker born every minute&quot; and we are obviously living in a baby boom of them.</description>

		<description>You ever notice how wingnuts are always writing and reading each others&#039; books?  I mean, there&#039;s hardly so much of a publishing industry by and for the left.  Maybe that&#039;s because if we buy a book we expect it to actually have some substantive content.  Them, they&#039;ll print anything by anybody.  Maybe it&#039;s a sooper-sekrit plan to destroy all the trees and make hippies cry.</description>

		<description>And the RNC will buy pallets of the book to push it up on the best seller list, then trash them when they can&#039;t give them away.  

Who in their right mind would buy a book written by this illiterate jerk?  I&#039;m betting he doesn&#039;t write a word of it.  Just like Sarah Palin.  Can you imagine her writing a book?  It would be incomprehensible.</description>

Of course, did it surprise anyone that Joe was gonna find more ways of shameless self promotion ?

But to write a book in a month.  I know students that take more time than that to write a 20 page term paper.</description>

<p>Of course, did it surprise anyone that Joe was gonna find more ways of shameless self promotion ?</p>
<p>But to write a book in a month.  I know students that take more time than that to write a 20 page term paper.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5352100', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>You can&#039;t blame Joe the Plumber for trying to or wqanting to cash in on celebrity.

Celebrity is the Great American Lottery. If the fickle finger of fate singles YOU out, you GOTTA go for it. Us lumpen-folk don&#039;t get a lot of chances. If you miss it--if you DON&#039;T sue the shitwit who rear-ends you, if you DON&#039;T write a book about your capture by space aliens, if you DON&#039;T try for endorsements after you&#039;ve swum the Mississippi--then you&#039;re missing your (possibly, probably) ONLY chance for the one big score.

Cuz let&#039;s face it, we&#039;ve all worked hard, and if hard work paid off as handsomely as fate or luck or celebrity, we&#039;d all be sinning and sunning on a tropic isle...If you get only one chance, you&#039;d better TAKE the Phucquer...</description>

		<description>Sounds like Joe&#039;s book will be a great stocking stuffer for Daniel Henninger in a preceding story.  Great minds think alike.  I&#039;d buy Joe&#039;s book for Henninger but I&#039;m too depressed to shop because the clerks won&#039;t say merry Christmas to me.  

Oh, and I&#039;ve written to my county library begging them not to buy Joe&#039;s book on my tax dollar.  I hope more taxpayers in other public library systems will do the same.</description>
