Joe the Plumber Proves He's Dumber --- and Ill Educated Besides

Posted on the 20 June 2012 by Mikeb302000
Joe the Plumber is trying to get attention for his blatant stupidity - AGAIN.
The man is an embarassment to this nation, to our values, to our education system, and to our politics.  The right should kick his sorry media-whoring ass to the curb.
But they won't.  Sam Wurzlebach, the not Joe-not-a-plumber, is repeating that lie that the right likes to promote, regardless of the apparent stupidity and  obvious falsehood on the face of it.  This can only appeal to the ignorant, and those who are incapable of rational thought.  This personifies the most stupid of revisionst history attempts.

Dumbass Joe/ Sam wants us to believe, wants to pander to, those who think that owning hand guns and hunting rifles and shotguns could have stopped the Nazis. 
The Nazis prevailed because they garnered the same kinds of support as our modern tea party, the support of an angry, and not paticularly involved or educated society that played to emotions like anti-semitism and other racism.
If you really are foolish enough to believe that the presence of civilian guns would have been sufficient, given the early successes of the Nazi military, perhaps you should acquaint yourself with some of their victories over entire armies of people who were younger, more fit, better armed and better trained and more experienced that did not prevail over the Nazis.  This is an excellent site for outlining that REAL history of events:

World War Two - German/Axis Successes and Failures


Britain?s policy of appeasement had failed to stop Hitler. Hitler invaded Poland on 1st September 1939 and Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later. However, there was little fighting for the first six months of the war and this period is known as 'the phoney war'.
There were two sides in World War Two
Axis Powers - Germany, Italy, JapanAllied Powers - Britain, France, Soviet UnionThe years 1939-1942 saw a string of victories for the Axis powers:
  1. September 1939 - Germany invaded and occupied Poland.
  2. April/May 1940 - Germany invaded and occupied Denmark and Norway.
  3. 10th May 1940 - Hitler launched a Blitzkrieg against Holland and Belgium. Both countries were occupied.
  4. 19th May 1940 - British troops were pushed back to the beach at Dunkirk and had to be rescued by British boats.
  5. 22nd June 1940 - France was occupied by Germany.
  6. Early 1941 - Germany and Italy attacked and had successes in Yugoslavia, Greece and North Africa.
  7. 22nd June 1941 - Germany attacked Russia (Operation Barbarossa) and had made some gains.
The notion of a false, pseudo-history of cherry picked information and tacky and belligerant right wing mythology appeals to those who have delusions about firearms generally, and their abilities with them specifically. 
I have yet to see any modern example where a disorganized bunch of civilians, or a militia, armed with handguns and hunting equipment, were effective in preventing a genocide, or the seizing of power by a dictator, who are usually supported by a military coup.
Not Joe Not a real Plumber is appealing to the idiots on the right who suffer from delusions of the gun zombies and the ignorant right wing nuts silly fantasies.
