Joe the Plumber: No "Queers" Near Kids
By Trudy Ring
Samuel Wurzelbacher, who under the nickname "Joe the Plumber" was taken up by the 2008 Republican presidential campaign as a symbol for the common man, says in an interview with evangelical magazine Christianity Today that he has had gay friends but that he "wouldn't have them anywhere near my children."
In the interview, posted Monday on the magazine's website, Wurzelbacher says those friends know where he stands on homosexuality, and he says the word queer "means strange and unusual" and is "not like a slur." He also voices his opposition to marriage equality, saying, "God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do -- what man and woman are for." However, he says the question of whether to grant marriage rights to gay couples should be up to each state, and he says the same about abortion rights.
He goes on to assert that the Republican Party pays only lip service to religion, voice his support for Sarah Palin if she runs for president in 2012, call 2008 nominee John McCain the lesser of two evils, and tackle a range of other subjects in the interview, conducted Monday at an event near Chicago.

What an ASSHOLE !!
Now, he's trying to back out of what he said in pure Christian bullshit style.
"Queer means 'strange and unusual' Not like a slur. "
Not like a slur ?? Oh ! Well then, no offense taken, you backwoods piece of homophobic trash.
Why the hell is he still in the media spotlight ?
Thoughts ?
