1. Yep.

His aunt called in to the Ed Schultz show a couple weeks ago and explained what a douche-bag this guy is.

She also told how Joe's father, one of the main sources of his douche-baggy outlook on life, is a big anti-social security guy - but he has been fighting to receive SSDI benefits for some time.

8. I heard it live.

I ran it through the google-tubes and only found comments from DU and other websites.

2. The assholes who harp about blacks being the only ones on it need to know Joe was a "welfare king"

3. Yup, said it on Hannity and Colmes

5. How can that be possible?

Welfare is Aid to Dependent families and single men do not qualify. It is for Single women with children...If there is a man in the household they don't qualify.

7. WIC

You are thinking of the WIC program

6. Was on welfare when he was a kid, too

Twice.

We all paid for the care and feeding of that shiny headed asshole, so he could grow up and tell us what jerks we are for not letting him starve.

On welfare "a couple of times." Enjoy watching the shovel-faced mutha get all indignant when Alan Colmes (of all people!) calls him on this.
