"Gays ok friends, stay away from my children!"

Joe The Plumber...and whatever else he decided to call himself as he struggled to extend his 15 minutes of fame after asking Obama that totally bogus question about the business he really wasn't getting ready to buy is a narrow minded a$$ who then tried to make his ugly views credible by making the "I have friends" claim. He has no friends who are homosexuals because no self respecting gay man would be friends with someone like him.

This is another case of...duh-duh-dummmmmmmm.... Suffering from the dumb-a$$

I was going to start a post about this but you beat me to it! Old Joe (not really Joe) not really a Plumber is a piece of work, isn't he? Here's the full text of the interview where he uttered those words of wisdom: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2009/mayweb-only/118-13.0.html?start=2 In the same interview when he was asked if he had any plans to run for political office he replied, "Not right now. God hasn't said, "Joe, I want you to run." I feel more important to just encourage people to get involved, one way or another. If I can inspire some leaders, that would be great. I don't know if I want to be a leader." I know I don't want him to lead ME...lol! I don't think he's ever had a gay friend in his life; he probably runs away if he sees one because he might "catch something". I feel very sorry for his kids. There, I'm in trouble again for "attacking" poor Joe! He keeps saying stupid thigs so I guess there will continue to be people talking about the stupid things he says, right? Annie

He doesn't want his kids to catch "the gay". Then they'd turn from innocent little heterosexual children to promiscuous homosexual heathens. How could you not know about this? It's become a habit for people to say something negative about one group, then in the same breath say "I have gay/black/atheist friends", as if that somehow proves they aren't biased. I think if you're "friends" with a gay, and you won't let them near your kids because of that, that's pretty indicative of your bigotry.

Why is this even here? Joe isn't serving in office, he isn't running, he is a citizen. Why is the media even covering him? Non story.

Apparently Joe is afraid that his kids will catch the "gay" from being around gay people. He makes it sound like he is even amazed that some of his friends would have the audacity to be gay. As if they have a choice in the matter, and they could change the way they are if they wanted to. Just another prime example of Joe Wurzelbacher logic, another reason you don't ask your plumber about politics.

I have a very good friend who I would never leave alone with any kids (mine or not). Me and him literally go back to diaper days. He is also one of the few friends I have stayed in contact with from childhood. His parents still live in the same house he grew up in, anytime a new family moves into the neighborhood, his father introduces himself and welcomes them to the neighborhood. He does this for two reasons. The first is because the man is generally friendly, a great neighbor, and would hate to live in a neighborhood where people don't know their neighbors. He is gay, but that has nothing to do with why I wouldn't leave him alone with kids, nor is it the other reason his dad warns the neigbors about him... His son (my friend), is a convicted predatory pedophile. He did 8 years of a 5 to Life sentence. He has been out of prison for a bunch of years now, and so far there hasn't been any reason to suspect he's re-offended. I love my friend dearly, but I hope it helps you understand that you can have a friend that you wouldn't leave with kids.

well, I do think there is probably a fundimental not understanding that most gays don't attack children, just like most men don't attack little girls and most female teachers don't do it with their little boy students

really? what kind of a friend is he? wow..i do have gay friends and it is ok for me to have them around my kids. There is nothing wrong with being gay and if my kid would be gay someday i do not have any problem with! tsk tsk...
