Joe the Plumber: Put Troops on the Border and Start Shooting
posted by Ed Staff | Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Samuel Wurzelbacher AKA Joe the Plumber might be the angriest Congressional candidate out there, which should win him plenty of fans in the current hate-fueled "I Hate Obama the Most" environment of the GOP.
Here, Joe calls for the militarization of the US/Mexico border. "Put a damn fence on the border going to Mexico and start shooting," he said. The next morning at a campaign event, Wurzelbacher clarified that he wants troops to be the ones doing the shooting. Watch it. The fun begins at the 28:15 mark.
Not sure if it will help, but try filing a claim against American Airlines with the Better Business Bureau. You might have to file it in the state where their headquarters are located?

Nothing says "Home of the Brave" like standing behind a fence and shooting at people who want to share in (what's left of) the American Dream.

Say it aint so.......Joes.
Ron, that totally sucks. Flying is such a pain in the azz these days, it's worth it to ship stuff insured to your destination beforehand.

Oh the first thing they can have him do is read the Constitution which specifically prohibits using our military for any time of combat within our borders.

Yes let's run for Congress and incite hate crimes all in one sentence. Vote for me and I'll make you feel good about hating people again. We have Sarah Palin to thank for this prize of a candidate. I bet if you asked this idiot any question about government or foreign policy he wouldn't be able to answer it. Just like his paramour couldn't. He doesn't want to serve the public, he is "gunning" for a reality show.

Strawdogg I flew american airlines in the past but havent for a few years as their flights didnt work and the other airlines had the same fares and better times. This time the fares and times worked out really well so we wanted to try them again. The stolen stuff and being told of that I didnt report it in 5 days and the letter also said they couldnt be held accountabel because it wasnt in their care all the time. Here the problem with them they took the bag in san jose and it was to be put on the plane by their ground crew, then my main bag was on the same plane and then in dallas my main bag made it on the flight to charolett but not the carry on so go figure one bag made it off the san jose to dallas flight, and the carry on on the same plane didnt make it on the flight to charolett with the main bag. I will try tomorrow am to talk to them and if it is still a no go I am going to be their best PR man that they had in years as I have gotten fed up with half assed service and the way honest people are treated by corporations. I agree this is how most corporations treat their customers these days. If the clown shows wins this is what we will see on a grander scale. Please tell family and friends to be so careful of amrican airlines

Sorry about your loss, Ron.
The kind of blind ignorance you run into with corporate people is just a tiny taste of what a Romney administration would be all about.
Cardboard replicas of actual agencies, and what is left will be transferred to call centers in India. Can you imagine your call to the Romney white house being answered by someone in Bangladore? Conservative values in action.
I have a friend who had an heirloom guitar worth several thousand dollars put in baggage. The case was solid, yet when he opened it up, the neck was broken in half. Airline customer service has continually gone downhill over the last 15 years. They used to treat you like a KING.... now they treat you like Prince... here prince... good dog.

HEY Ed bloggers I would like to change the subject for a minute.
I flew to charolett nc. at the end of may and when boarding the aircraft I was made to check my carry on bag. The people at American Airline assured me that the bag would make it on all flights I would be on. I found later that the people in the forward part of the aircraft had been allowed to put more than one oversize item and carryons in the overheads which made us who had to boarded last have to check our bags. I had 2100.00 of camera equipment stolen by some scum bag who felt it was his right to have it. I worked my fanny off at age 60 on fire strike teams here in california to make the extra money to buy that stuff. American Airlines are now saying I didnt tell them of the problem within 5 days which is total bs as I called the charolett office the same night I found my stuff missing and then the next day I talked to them and they sent forms to my house and said to mail to a certain address for quicker service. I found out two weeks ago my claim was finally sent to their central office and now that it wont do anything because it wasnt with the 5 days. I say if you fly and if you have to fly this airline dont let them take you bags you are better off sending it by ups or fedex as it will be insured and if they lose it or stuff is missing you can get you money back. I will try to talk to them tomorrow morning and if nothing is done then they will be getting more of my good pr everyday until I get booted off their facebook page, and I will start tomorrow sending emails to every vp and the parent company also and it will be even more fun to tell the comsumer media of the scumbags at american airlines in the cities I traveled in.
thanks for the time to vent. this is a good example of corporations screwing the comsumer and getting away with it and I wonder if the FAA will help I will have to see their site.
