'Joe the Plumber' links Holocaust with gun control
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/joe-p...ys-abuse-trial TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio congressional candidate known as "Joe the Plumber" is running a campaign video in which he suggests that Nazi gun controls contributed to deaths during the Holocaust because Jews didn't have firearms to defend themselves. The ad drew strong rebukes from Democrats and Jewish organizations. In the video, Samuel Wurzelbacher loads a shotgun and fires at lemons and tomatoes placed on wooden posts. "In 1939, Germany established gun control," he says. "From 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated," he says before ending the video by saying "I love America." Gun control opponents have long held that Adolf Hitler was able to seize power in Germany in part because of controls on firearms. Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said the video was "incredibly offensive." He called on Republicans and Democrats to condemn "the despicable actions of this very desperate man." "Using the memories of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust to make a political point is never appropriate, under any circumstances," said David A. Harris, president of the National Jewish Democratic Council. (HAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, excuse me, - Awoke) Wurzelbacher also said in the video that gun control laws in Turkey preceded the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1917. He defended his statements Wednesday, saying that he did not say that gun control caused the Holocaust. He accused liberals of twisting his words for political gain. Wurzelbacher, running as a Republican in Ohio's 9th district, became known as "Joe the Plumber" after questioning Barack Obama about his economic policies during the 2008 presidential campaign. So "Joe the Plumber" is a jew who moved into the political arena after making it big as a common blue collar white man. As they say, both sides of the fence. Comments? |

Here's what I don't understand about Jewish Americans. They tend to vote Democrat, and that's for big-government. If anything, I would think after the Jewish experience in Germany, they should be wary of government - especially really big government.
I understand that Hitler's guys first had everyone register their guns. Then once they were all registered and the government knew who had what, they sent the troops out to collect the guns. Once that was done, they next went out to selectively collect the defenseless people. I really don't understand Jewish logic. |

Xizang, you won't find many on this forum who buy into the artificial and illusionary right vs left paradigm... most of this forum's membership hate democrats as much as republicans - realizing (correctly) that when it comes to the "issues" that really matter, both are EXACTLY the same. This is the second post you've made slamming the Democrats, are you here to try and galvanize the conservative right for some reason? If so, you're probably barking up the wrong forum. ![]() |

That is a fantastic picture, Gaillo. Good post.
Yes Xizang, most members around here know that the left and right are merely two wings stemming from the same monster. If you're a returning agent, you will know that too. If you're a new member, you will connect the dots soon enough, reading around here. |

^^ great pic Gaillo, never saw that one b4
![]() So "Joe the Plumber" is a jew who moved into the political arena after making it big as a common blue collar white man. I like this candidate better: US congressional nominee: Holocaust ‘blackest lie’ in history US congressional candidate: “Holocaust Never Happened” Visit Arthur Jones’ Campaign Website |

Guys, try not to be too hard on the new guy. Looking back, it wasn't really that long ago that I was a conservative with an uneasy feeling about the direction of the republican party. I'm glad I found GIM and later GSUS to help me discover why I was uneasy. The republicans do (did) a great job of selling themselves as the small government party to people who don't know any better, so it's hard to blame a sheep who has never heard the truth. The best thing to do is be friendly and educate them. I know when a person is awake, it's frustrating to see all the sheep and tempting to lash out at them instead of educate them. I'm not saying that anybody in this thread is doing that, but it is the general direction these things go. Like Awoke said, time will tell if the new guy is an old agent or really looking for knowledge. In the mean time, we can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Well put, Horseshoe.
I'm not accusing anyone or anything. I just get leary when I see new members join and they start posting like old members, without so much as an introductory thread. You know, "Hi, I'm a long time lurker, and a recent member, etc etc". However it is always just a matter of time before agents are discovered. In case I didn't say it before, Xizang, welcome to GSus. |

Yah, I know where you're coming from. I don't like it when people are more familiar than I think they have a right to be. Usually they are salesmen or worse. But sometimes they are just a lot more outgoing and sociable than I am.
Anyway, it's always a good idea to be wary, but I think of what my experience might have been like if one of more "outwardly wary" members had greeted me before a friendly one did. |

Ha, when I first joined GIM I was accussed of being a sock by a few long time members. It was quickly determined that I was a noob because I had ZERO knowledge on monetary policy beyond fractional reserve lending and the fact that the FED is private.
I knew about the conspriacy though... and still continue to learn. |

Well put, Horseshoe. Okay, some background: I'm a 65-year old guy who's past being active in the Republican Party. I was until about 15 or 20 years ago, when I realized one day that the GOP had abandoned its own platform. I've been a registered Libertarian since. I'm a true Ron Paul supporter. And I'm looking to relocate with my job - to Panama, Costa Rica, or maybe even China (I've been offered a very appealing management job in China). I dislike Democrats (think Obama and Nancy Pelosi) as well as Republicans (think George Bush and the Patriot Act). I look up to Thomas Jefferson as a role model. I don't automatically hate blacks, Asians, Jews, muslims, etc. - I'm suspicious of everyone. And I dislike being accused of shit I didn't do. So if you're so paranoid you suspect everyone of being an "agent", fine. But I'm not one. |

Xizang, we have good reason to be cautious around here. Thread search for "Skyvike" and "Scorpio" and you might start to understand.
I personally don't care either way. We always figure it out in the end. Either way, welcome, and let's learn some things. (For example, the LRP is a lie and a smoke screen) |

Finally. Someone who is considerate and mannered enough to welcome a new guy. Much better than being dumped on. How did you stumble upon this little corner of the interwebs? If you're in California, how is the weather there? If your name is Fred, then hey Fred! ![]() |

Welcome to the Asylum! Anyway, I'll hang out here a couple more days before I decide if I want to move on. Some discussion forums do become cliques and gangs. I'll see if this one's any good or not... |

I'm not Fred. Not Barney either. Stumbled in here after checking out several gold and silver forums. Most are pretty dry and boring. My other internet networking is mostly all in business forums on Linked In, and I have to be on good behavior there, as I go by my real name there. I was finding this group a little more to my liking because I'm personally more Libertarian rebel than conservative or liberal. Then, some folks decided to dump on me by assuming I'm someone from their past. Funny how stupid some people are when they're trying to look smart to their peers. |
