Former conservative icon "Joe the Plumber" now working in a union shop just like any other pinko commie. Say it ain't so Joe!

Courtesy of Wurzelbacher's Right Wing blog Joe for America:

In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the Union, in this case UAW. There’s no choice – it’s a union shop – the employee’s voted to have it that way and in America that’s the way it is. I have lived in Toledo, Ohio off and on throughout my entire life and I have plenty of friends who are union members. Sometimes we agree politically and sometimes not, but it has never kept us from being friends. I wondered if this would be the case at my new job, so..

I had three days of orientation, and now I’m “on the job” over here at Chrysler and on Day 4, I’m outside on a break smoking a cigarette and right on cue – some guy calls me a “teabagger.”

Now, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Democrats and liberals, who are supposed to so tolerant and enlightened regarding homosexuals have for three or four years now, have been using a gay slur to describe people who they think are associated with the Tea Party. “Tea Bagger” has traditionally been a derogatory slur used to intimidate, put down, humiliate and otherwise taunt, smear, bully or just discriminate against gays – usually gay men – based on a sex act that gay men apparently made popular.

Decorum prevents me from describing it – they got this thing called “Google” now for that – but suffice it to say that the double-standard for what Democrats can say and what conservatives can say continues unabated, but still I thought to myself, did this guy think I’m gay, or was he making a statement of my political affiliation? I tried talking to him, but he went off about how he was a “journeyman” and started walking away.

Wurzelbacher's thin skin is kind of humorous considering the crap he said about the President.

However if he actually used this Google thing he is talking about, he might learn that the word "Teabagger" was NOT a disparaging label used to describe gay men.

In fact according to the Urban Dictionary it is either a person who dangles their testicles in another person's mouth (Described as a male on female activity) or:

A fascist right-wing conservative who opposes affordable healthcare by shouting at public gatherings.

In other words Joe Wurzelbacher. (There were a few other definitions, but they were pretty racy.)

Besides as The Week reported back in 2010, the term Teabagger was NOT originally chosen as a derogatory remark by the Liberals.

Here is how the term evolved:

Feb. 27, 2009
At the first anti-stimulus "New American Tea Party" rally in Washington D.C., a protestor carries a sign reading "Tea Bag the Liberal Dems before they Tea Bag You!!" The Washington Independent's David Weigel calls it "the best sign I saw."

March 2
Americans for Prosperity, an anti-tax group, is one of the first Tea Party organizations to advocate sending tea bags to elected officials to protest the stimulus package. Several other lobby groups follow suit.

April 1
Several Tea Party protest sites encourage readers to "Tea bag the fools in DC." Jay Nordlinger at National Review Online later admits: "Conservatives started [using the term]... but others ran and ran with it."

April 9
Rachel Maddow is the first to mock the Tea Party's use of the phrase on her left-leaning MSNBC show. "Even Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina is getting in on the hot tea-bagging action," she says, stifling laughter. (Watch Rachel Maddow joke about the "tea baggers")

So like all Teabaggers Wurzelbacher is just upset that his group was so ignorant that they chose an easily mocked sexual term to describe themselves that the Left Wing will not let them forget.

Oh well, deal with it!

However if Wurzelbacher wants to avoid being mocked in the future he might think about not posting articles with headlines like these:

The NAACP Is A Racists Bigoted Organization

The Republican Establishment wants the IRS harassing the Tea Parties more than the Democrats

Obama’s despotic rule: Montesquieu knew this would happen

Let's face it, much like Trig, Joe the Plumber was a tool of the Republican party, and once they are done with you they simply toss you aside.

If he wants to fit in with his new, and possibly more liberal, co-workers he might want to think about no longer carrying water for the conservatives, and start thinking of who it is that is working to help the middle class union members.

Here's a hint, it sure as hell is not the Republican party!
