Nora O'Donnell just took apart McLiar's mouthpiece re. Sam the non-plumber.

[speedoo]

Great job, Nora.

[trueblue2007]

1. i HATE that jerk. He is Soooooooooooo a liar

Good job Nora...but I think she could have been harder on him. She could have brought out his LIES even more.

[scheming daemons]

2. We've always wondered what a freeper looked like.... Sam the non-plumber is the caraciture

[jenmito]

3. Response: "It's not about 'Joe the plumber' per se. He's more EMBLEMATIC of working class

Americans who WOULD have their taxes raised under an Obama administration." :rofl:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. Shit, if 250 K is working class I'm the wrong profession. n/t

[jenmito]

They're spinning it as if it doesn't MATTER that THIS guy doesn't make $250K...

this guy is somehow a SYMBOL of those guys (I guess in the sense that he's white). :eyes:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. Is he bald? n/t

[jenmito]

10. Of course. n/t

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Well damn it man if he's white and bald of course he represents all blue collar workers

in this country. I myself am "brown" and my hair grows back in 5 minutes after you cut it. Which means I don't do shit.

[jenmito]

14. That's right-I'm glad you "recognize" that!

It means you're un-American, too!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. Well I do live in Chicago. In these parts we actually hate ourselves. nt

[jenmito]

16. Awww...

don't hate yourself! :hug:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. But but the vice president wannabe lady said so. Now I'm just confused. nt

[jenmito]

18. I'm smarter than she is...

and I say it AIN'T so. :)

[Left Is Write]

22. So he's the symbol of all those guys...who don't have to worry about a tax increase under Obama?

Do they realize they are undermining their own argument by holding this guy up as a paragon of the American working class?

[Medusa]

13. I have a white-collar job.

I don't make anything near $250K. I'm going to quit my job and become a plumber if I can score $250K per year. :evilgrin:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

20. Yeah fuck architecture I'm going into plumbing and shaving my head. nt

[RandomKoolzip]

23. 250 grand a year is "Working class"?!?!

No. Seriously. They DID NOT just say that.

I make 19,000 a year. I suppose I'm just a lucky ducky latte limousine liberal, huh? And Sammy Joe Weaselfucker, who owns several businesses and makes a quarter of a million a year is somehow a real put-upon salt-of-the-earth reg'lar joe who's just trying to get by, right?

Seriously: I would just LOVE a freeper to try and explain this shit to me, 'cuz from where I sit, I'm smelling elephant guano.

[rufus dog]

5. Sam's aunt called into the Ed Schultz show

Just caught the last coupld of minutes, she said he is a decent kid, helps out his Mom and Dad. (may even live with them, something about his Dad being sick, Sam being a single parent) Anyway he get's his ideas from listening to Rush, thinks he is educated/informed when if fact he isn't.

[writes3000]

6. As soon as I saw his interview, I said he listens to right wing radio and nothing else.

He was going on and on about people not loving, not being proud of this country. Like a robot.

Hey, Joe/Sam, most of us love this country. IN fact, we love it enough to speak up when the country isn't living up to all of its ideals.

[louis-t]

8. If you've heard the interviews he's done..

He spouts talking points non-stop. In between talking points, he inserts "C'mon" and "everbody knows", like he's saying something profound. Brainless, brain-dead, incapable of rational thought.

[sickinohio]

9. Takes care of his mom & dad

Sure - he wants social security abolished!! He's the Good Son!! Alrighty Then.

[rufus dog]

12. that was the point in the interview when I first got in the car

Something about his dad needing to get SS but can't.

I'm guessing good old dad worked his whole life on cash/under the table jobs to avoid paying taxes and is now screwed. Hopefully someone caught the entire interview and can fill us in.

[peace frog]

19. Noron O' Donnell???

Yeesh, maybe she does have a couple brain cells to rub together. Not that anyone could tell up until now.

[speedoo]

21. Yeah, who'd a thunk it huh?

She's actually been pretty good lately.
